Vesak fun 2014

Mummy brought Benja to the temple nearest to home by bus. Benja had a quick breakfast of kuay teow soup and we were off by 8.30am.

This is taken while waiting for bus. Benja was very excited. He kept saying, "Stop bus. Stop bus." Mummy wondered why he said it that way. Did he mean "bus stop"?

Benja liked to refer to the Buddha as 佛佛. I think he meant 佛陀. He always tells Mummy he's scared whenever he saw the Buddha image. He would tap his heart or upper tummy area lightly.  "Scared. 佛佛.怕怕." are his words.

When Mummy was having lunch, Benja slipped away to explore the temple on his own. He observed people putting their hands together and bowing to the Buddha image with the lotus candle offerings. He copied the action, said it was "拜拜".

Benja also enjoyed drinking the cool orange juice at the temple.
