Nian Gao

Brought nian gao 年糕 to offer at the monastery today and its amazing how the mums in the kitchen could do magic to it, and what's more, without eggs! Everyone loved it, and it somehow made me happy.. heez... guess this is what they call the joy of giving.

Kenny came down to BBM to help Marty too. Poor guy, got lost in the BART system and came late looking all worried. But i guess the good lunch from all the mums made it go away.

Followed Rev Heng Sure to Tsu Chi Youth where he spoke dharma to hundreds of kids using the Lord of the Rings movie! pretty innovative. I managed to get some studying done in the midst too. After that, Sandy kept askin me to join her at her family's reunion dinner... crazy... why wld i do that? Furthermore its a seafood dinner... give up dharma lecture just to go sit among strangers and rot away? No way man!

At the end of the day, Aunt Guo Hua packed some food for me to take home, and she said that if i ever fall sick, i must immediately call her or Aunt Guo Juan and stay at their place so that they can look after me. They are such nice people...
