Vesak Celebration in Prison on 14 May (Sun)

A BIG THANK YOU TO AUGUST, MALCOLM, NICK, ALVIN, YILIN, WAI HONG, JASON, ANGIE, AI LING, SU-MAY, LYNZABEL, TRACY, BEE YEE, VIVY, CHRISTINA, LEAN YEAN ( NOT FORGETTNG AJAHN BRAMALI and PETER who ferried Ajahn to and fro) WHO SACRIFICED PRECIOUS TIME TO BE IN PRISON CELEBRATING VESAK WITH THE INMATES LAST SUNDAY.

Venerable Mun Cheng was very pleased to see the abundance of joy and fun in the "Four Wives" act, especially when the script was changed to mandarin speaking at the very last miniute. When I told her about our last minute standby actressess, Bee Yee and Tracy, she commented that this group of choir definitely have acting talents. Thanks to Nick and Angie with their superb acting. We all loved it when Angie had her lines spoken in mandarin. The inmates definitely had a fabulous time.

Thanks once again and my apologies for some hitches with the security guards when we were on our way out. Be happy everyone and have a good rest before we start rocking again this Saturday. Hey, the food in the prison cafeteria was not too bad. My first time there and I loved the coffee.

Take care, May.

Opps, sorry. Just daydreaming...

Thanks May, for pulling us in. Otherwise, I could never have seen the insides of a prison and planned an escape route... opps! Er, I mean, tasted the soup of the prison cook.

Looks like our choir members are more than just pretty faces with pretty voices... They can churn out an impromptu act plus language translation at a wit's end notice...

Just got an email from Daphne saying she's happy for us, swamped with school work, getting less regular sleep wished she were here, and she sends her love to all.

Hi All,

Sorry, I just realised I made a mistake on the venue of our prison this coming Sat. This Sat AM session is at Sembawang Prison, not Selarang. I will find out more details and let you all know soonest possible. A thousand apologies, I am a blur sotong.

Cheers, May

Hi May

OK to be blur la . . just LOOK SMART! Ha Ha!

Another memory to treasure in our old age . . when we gather with wrinkles hanging down our face, we shall remember the day in Changi Prison! It would be a comedy replay without the actors . . just in mind for a good laugh!

So, we do it again this Sat with even more imaginative acting . . this time with Ren Shang. Lets see if he can do the crying that Nick does splendidly every time. Hey, Nick - how do you turn the taps on? I know Ben (my son) does it with great ease as well, with BIG tears. . all it takes is a BIG yell!

Alvin - practise your acting when you see your lemon tree, ok Ha Ha. Good job! Also kudos to Tracy and Bee Yee for being so sporting . .

Singers and musicians . . you did great!

Thanks
Angie

Sembawang? Near wakeboarding place? We can thereafter go for makan at Buckaroo, serving one of the best Caesar salads and buffalo wings.

Hi All,

Yes, its in Sembawang. The place is called SEMBAWANG DRUG REHABILITION CENTRE, 90 Admiralty Road West, Spore 759957. I did not even know there is one there.

Been told its just next to Sembawang Shipyard. There will be about 100 to 120 of them. FYI, majority of them are Chinese speaking. We can have lunch together after the AM session, which will end at 11.30. My treat. Su-May, you will have to lead the way to wherever that place is. After lunch, we will adjourn to Tanah Merah Prison for our PM session.

Those who need transport, call me so that I can make the arrangements. Thanks very much, seeya.

May
