Bingo~~

Pretty nice car huh? Saw it at the Rose Farm we went to last week... And a pic of a rose.. pweeetty!

Anyway, this weekend has been pretty relaxing for me =P Alex is on a 4th Global Buddhism Conference so I've been free hehe So tonight we went to Bingo!! We were so excited because it was our first time. And it's old people game... well stereotyping. But when we got there.. the gym was FULL of old people!! They came in buses!! hehe So cute =) I took some shots.. like a tourist hehe

A booklet is $3 and you play 30 games. For 2.5 hours, you only pay $3!! And $1 for coffee!! Pretty good!! And lots of seniors were playing 6 booklets at a time!! You have to be fast!! It was quite fun. Judy said let's go next week and we all went.. err... Nah, in 3 months time maybe =P

My laptop's hard drive went to hard drive heaven last week. That was pretty hard actually. Only then did I realise that I rely so much on technology!!! Gosh.. Oh, thank goodness I didn't lose anything important. I managed to back up my data before the BSoD appeared!! *phew* So I had to get a new hard drive and had to pay for it because international warranty ran out after 3 months of purchase Boo Hoo! I think I shouldn't buy electronic stuff back in Taiwan anymore!! Not unless it's ALOT cheaper!! So my new hard drive is 100GB now! Woo hoo! =)

Anyway, something more 'meaningful' hehe I went to my SECOND dharma class on Friday. Ajahn Brahn was speaking and that was my first time to hear him talk. Really really good! He was a good speaker, held my attention completely. But when we did 30 min meditation at the start, I dozed off =P Anyway, there were 4 things that grabbed me:

1. Have to do things 100%. Not 50%, not even 99.9%.
2. We shouldn't say we don't want to do boring/mundane things or the things that we do are boring. We should make it interesting for us! Should be in the moment of doing things. If you don't like washing dishes, next time, try to feel the texture of the plates or bowls. Enjoy it! =)
3. Don't try to escape doing things! The more you escape, the faster they catch up to you!! Karma!!
4. Common modern disease - bad stomach. Why? We are not paying attention to our food when we're eating. Always chatting or watching tv... So, next time, Ajahn Brahn advised that we should not talk when we're eating. Should BE IN THE MOMENT. Especially when we go out to an expensive meal because we want to experience the expensive food we paid for! =P

Ok better sleep.. it's 1am =P Should sleep! Blogging and watching Friends on Arena isn't good!!
