It's been such a long time since I chanted. Yunci, the cute freshlady who's the leader of the group invited to attend since the last semester. But somehow I couldn't manage to attend, reasons were wake up late and early outing.
So back to the story, I attended together with Willy, Murphy, Shuyu, Justin Tan, Su Wei just to name a few. We were supposed to prepare food to share, but I didn't know about this until the night before going.
Willy and I planned to cook something but after a while, Willy told me we just go for it without food.
On that day, we chanted for god knows how long, but I was sure that it was long.....LOL Perhaps I haven't been chanting for a long time, but I always lose patience while chanting is going on. HAHAHA and my stomach started to growl like thunder clap inside.
After the chants, we watched a BBC's documentary about Siddharta Gautama's life story and teachings. Then it was time for makan-makan~ Yay!
Oh yes, also it's a tradition for us to bathe the Buddha with flower water. Back in our place, we have fragrant water with little flower petals in the water. After bathing the Buddha, we must take a packet of the water to bathe at home.
But here we didn't have the particular perfume for the water, and the flower petals here were hard. The petals stuck on the Buddha's head.
The purpose of bathing the Buddha was to cleanse away our sins, 3 times.
The place was nicely decorated by Kheng Huat, Yunci and company. Kudos to them though because it's hard to get resources from here.
I was happy to be religious and be a vegetarian for at least one day. I would attend for the next few meetings if I could make it at 9am.Plus the food they prepared was delicious!!!

In this style of selling, the sales person actually views objections as opportunities! Further probing by the seller who actively seeks out objections might uncover more, such as, "We'd like to consider your product or service, but your price is too high." Or possibly, "I'd like to order your widgets, but we need overnight delivery; we ordered some from your company in the past, but you couldn't meet our delivery needs consistently." Once a potential buyer's reason for saying "no" (objection) is uncovered, the sales person has an opportunity to "handle" the objection in a way that brings about a sale.
