Kids' Buddhist Class Graduation

9th November, 2008 - It's the Kids' Buddhist Class Graduation Day, finally ... curtain drawn to mark the end of 2008 sessions at the temple ... Here are some of the sketches, songs and dances from the little darlings to the sweet teenagers : ENJOY the meaningful messages conveyed within the performances ^_^

The Little Big Bully ... by the little darlings ...

A Lively number by the little darlings ... ah !!! So CUTE !!! Feels like pinching their bubbly chubby cheeks !!!! Geramnya ...

YUKI !! Pom pom dance by the primary school girls, including our Jasmine, aren't they lively???

No thanks, I'll Wait for Boddhisatva to Come and Save me ... a meaningful sketch ... Egan and Joey = flood victims; Bob and Jgan = boat life savers; Dash and a friend = helicopter life savers ... ^_^ they had a lot of fun rehearsing for this one !!

Next, A Beautiful Garden ... wah, so cute ...

How Does Love Flow ... certainly not by keeping it in your heart ! Express your love, verbally, made it be known ... a sketch where our Jenny acted as taukeh soh (restaurant owner's wife)

Let Love Spread (Pa Ai Chuan Sia Chi) ... a very meaningful song with sign languages shown here, can you single out our kids? Here's a little clueeeeee ... There are 8 of them ^_^

Ahhh ... the day ended with a vegetarian lunch treat with various contributions by the parents, once again, our longan jelly got grabbed and made it to the finishing line within seconds !!! Hmm... maybe we should consider selling them commercially .... food for thought ya ^_^

Hmm... gonna miss the little darlings and the yummy yummy vegetarian lunch ...

Umbrellas

How often do you play in the rain?
Have you ever purposely played in the rain?
How did you feel?

Have you ever let your kids play in the rain?
Would you let your kids play in the rain?
Hey, why not?

It's Feeding Time !

This is how I enjoy an evening of relaxation, right at home !!! Enjoy this :

Love my koi - all 8 of them, big ones. Added 2 wild fishes from the stream behind my house. So, 10 big fishes altogether ... hundreds of guppies + about 60 baby kois ... the great thing is they live in harmony!!! The big ones do not eat the small ones. Guess, it's like one big happy family ... akin to my own ^_^

The water fountain also adds to the peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes, birds would fly in and pay me a visit and the chirpings never fail to lift up my mood. What's more, dragon flies, butterflies, crickets and baby frogs do drop by too! That's why, sometimes I hardly want to get out of the house !!!

It's been a blessing really, to have bumped into the designer when we first got this home. Now, Dennis of Masterpiece Direction, together with his girlfriend are close friends of mine. The big kois were a housewarming gift from him ... how generous ^_^

Paper Dance

Sha la la la ... sha la la ... in the morning ... wo wo wo oh ... sha la la la la ...

It's great bonding among the cousins, all in the family ... fun things that we do together like this one, puts everyone in the merry-making mood, craving for more ... simply unforgettable !!!

Straight out of Camp

It's simply amazing how a short 3 days' Buddhist camp for the kid produce such highly energetic synchronised rendition !

Till today they still remember the actions and song, after more than one and a half year ... Pow Wow!
