Simple Mindee. Special Birthday.

Hello all gorgeous one here. Haven't been logging in for a while.Delighted to see so many greetings from all of you here. Thanks & Hugs to all.Thank you all for all the birthday wishes thru sms, phone, email, mails, facebook and AnD.Most of my buddies thought that I will be throwing a big bash for my last year in the twenties. This year I wanted something simple instead to make it special.

An outing with my family in the day follow by a casual dinner with my closer friends. 

Long before my mum has already requested that I should keep myself free on my birthday. Actually she sounded more like warning than requesting. :p 

Then,  I was thnking ......She gave me my life... I own my life.... but this very day I think she deserve to own me. Hence, I pushed all jobs away and kept myself free for her despite my busy schedule this week. 

This is my birthday....

Birthday Blessing at " Tian Gong Temple". A very colourful temple along Telok Blangah Drive Road. To thank the heavenly god "Tian Gong", To ask for forgiveness and blessing.Release of lifeKnow as Fang Sheng 放生

This is a traditional Buddhist practice. The practice of "release of life", that is, buying fish, frogs,Turtles and other creatures from marketplaces and setting them free or even  releasing captured marine animals back to sea. It’s a practice of compassion. The idea is that these animals receive a new lease of life while we gains merit by saving them this way. 

Mum bought 100 of the froggy and aunt was snapping pictures of the entire practice.My mother is very grateful that I am healthy and happy. She believes practicing release of life will remind me to remember the basics in life and be thankful for everything. Giving & Sharing.

Visited the Kreta Ayer Seniors Activity Centre. Bought provisions at supermarket brought it down personally to share with the old folks.That's all....this is my birthday....A very special day.Its such a wonderful gift to have all the blessing from so many of you. It is those simple messages that touches...   I am sincerely thankful. PS: I even went to the blood bank but was rejected due to insufficient weight. I just need 1 more kg. |

by the way... if i was cynical i would say that this custom was probably invented by the pet shops to increase their sales. :-P

If you ate one of the froggies, you could have given blood... hmmm dilemma.... ;) (just kidding I wouldn't eat a frog...) Your recount of your day was very charming, thanks for sharing.

Wow. That is really cool. Most people are only focused on themselves on their birthdays. Way to do it, Mindee.
