I know this is long overdue but it is always better late than never. Just make sure you don’t use this phrase on your boss. No one in their sane mind say it’s better late than never to their bosses. Otherwise you are going to be rewarded with a firing letter or you might catch Donald Trump impersonations “You Are Fired!” from your boss. Before I stray even further, this is actually a Wesak Day post, not some HOW TO GET FIRED FROM YOUR BOSS article. It is great to grow up in my neighbourhood because you will always get to see processions from different ethnics and cultures. You can safely say that my neighbourhood is sorta like a melting pot. You get to see Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, processions every year. Some people had to travel miles to catch the occasion but I only need to get my sorry ass out from my home whenever there is a procession. Best thing is, I don’t have to put myself into the traffic jam torture like many other motorists did.

This is one of the main temples in my neighbourhood Seck Kia Eenh and I’ve been told that it was their 80th anniversary too.

A procession is never complete without the presence of brass band. Catholic High School is renowned for their brass band abilities but sometimes these poor guys had to play for a funeral procession. Not a good omen for superstitious folks. But these people in the photo above is not from Catholic High.

The Dragon is making it’s grand appearance. You need to get a closer look to enjoy its ‘dragon-ness’ otherwise it will only look like a anaconda from afar.

Did you notice the lion on the right is actually sitting?

I sure hope this dude did not step on any nails along his 3 old journey.

Errrr the lady on the left reminds me of a marathon runner.

These students are pretty creative in designing their floats. Well at least the colours are friendly enough to be captured in my camera.

Hmmmm I wonder if it’s made of gold….

Another creative float by the high school students.
I did not capture every single floats in the end because I need to go for dinner. But there are more pictures. I’ll update later when I have the time.
