Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Happy birthday to the birthday boy: Nazha 三太子哪咤.


You definitely won't see him walking around in Bandar simply coz' he is a legend... and he lives somewhere up there. Maybe once in a while you will see him playing chinese chess with another guy when you are flying in the aeroplane but that's really really rare, considering there isn't any reported sighting yet. But nevertheless, I met him today... well... not in person... but in another person. For those of you who are still lost, let me enlighten you. Nazha is a god, a Buddhist deity, and today happens to be his birthday - the 7th of the 7th month on the lunar calendar. And he came all the way down to our austere little temple at BSB to greet us... or more precisely to show up in the body of another person. By the way, he doesn't eat cake...

Here's what he does after he came all the way down:
i) dance around in the temple.
ii) honour the other deities in the temple (involves cutting his lips with a sword until it bleeds).
iii) offer free consultation service for frustrated individuals.
iv) go home.


The Birthday boy in action.
There's another reason to be joyous about today. It's VALENTINE'S DAY!!! for the chinese. It falls on 7th of the 7th month on the lunar calendar. Well, it doesn't really concern me... coz I don't have a girlfriend, which is also good since I don't have to worry too much...
