Jenesys Followup Trip

6 of us from past year's Jun batch managed to make it; from the original 40; which we call ourselves 'JeneTempuras', from the numerous tempuras and tofu meals we had during our 2 week stay in the Land of the rising Sun. It was heart warming to meetup with old pals like Supri, Roger, Umi, JP and Sofia. 5 days of jam-packed activities, workshops and fieldtrips and i brought home with me not only a bloated stomach (we had 5 meals a day) but also renewing bonds with my jenetempuras  friendships made with the other previous batches; some as early as this March. We also brought home an aim in mind to do a Tree-planting activity in each of our communities this coming 10Oct2010 (10.10.10)

As i turned into an adult, i started exploring into earlier versions when it was still in India and Sri Lanka; or what some may call theravada Buddhism. And I've found solace in it as it kind of suits my fiery, impatient and egoistic character. Lately, i chance upon words of wisdom while watching; of all things, the latest rendition of a famous martial arts soap opera by Jin Yong, "Demi-Gods_and_Semi-Devils". I am going back to Crystal Jade Restaurants this evening to serve food; that's where i started off when i came back from india a year ago; the impending CNY double pay of course was a motivating factor, but i have other reasons for doing this... I also met a very promising young dude whilst serving behind the counter at Buddhist Library; i was over-zealous to say the least in tr
