Where do dreams go from here?

Thursday, May 31, 2007

Okay , this is my first entry which is part of my English homework for the JuNe hoilday. So, today was Vesak Day.As usual, I woke up at 6am and together with my parents, we went to a temple . We arrived at the temple at around 7am plus and there were already a lot of people. Daddy says "The atmosphere here is consider okay. If it is at 'Si ma lu ' there that temple or elsewhere, sure got thousands and thousands of people".
So we enter the temple . While my parents were buying joss sticks and other stuff for praying , I went to 'bath the Buddha'. Don't get me wrong. What I meant was to scoop water from the little well and pour it over the buddha 3 times. After praying , we went to a place next to the temple and had breadfast there. Food were free considering : one table had to had 10 people before they served the food and no food is to be wasted.In Buddhism , it is believed that food came from farmers who work hard in the field all day long. So if one wasted food, it is as good as wasting the farmers ' effort in cultivating crops .
Food include Bee Hoon, Peanuts, Curry, Tau Pok & Char Siew.To obey the rules , all of us sitting at the same table had to try and finished off the food even though we were quite full. Mummy then bought some Bee hoon and Poh Pian( spring rolls) for Grandpa.

In the afternoon, we decided to go out. We came to Plaza Singapura . There I came across a matter which I felt so unfair of.
We were getting hungry after walking and shopping when we decided to have a quite meal at a shop which sold Toast bread . Somewhat similar to 'Ya Koon' . It was a rather small place and quite squeezy too. There were no availble seats for us , so we had to wait. Luckily for us , we managed to get seats in a few minutes. While we were waiting for food, other customers came in and wanted to eat but there were no seats. AND THE WORST THING WAS THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SEATS AVAILBLE BUT SOME INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE SIMPLY REFUSED TO GAVE UP THEIR SEATS ! Why did i Said that. WHile I noticed that there were 4 guys seated behind out table. They came earlier than us and had finished their food BUT THEY JUST CONTINUED TO SAT THERE CHATTING ! ANd there were 2 ladies too. They purposely left a small piece of bread to show they hadn't finished their meal and sat there too, chatting along . WHAT DO THEY TAKE THE PLACE FOR ? IF THEY HAD SO MUCH TO CHAT , GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHY CAN"T THEY GOT UP & LEAVE SO OTHERS COULD HAVE A CHANCE TO ENJOY THE FOOD. There were 2 empty seats next to the lady and her friend . In the end, the waitress there had to ask her if anyone was sitting there before asking a couple to have the 2 seats. DESPITE KNOWING PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR SEATS YET THESE PEOPLE CAN SIMPLY SAT THROUGH CHATTING AND TURNING A BLIND EYES AGAINST THINGS AROUND THEM ! I JUST CAN"T BELIEVE IT. WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE LIKE THEM EXISTING IN THIS WORLD.

PS : Whatever I say is out of my own opinion ,of things which I have witnessed with my true eyes. If you have any comments , please leave a message on my tagboard . Thank You . No offends =)
