This too will pass.

As expected, my proof of concept went well. It went really well with all my colleagues.
Lesson learnt: if you know what you’re doing, do it even if every soul tells you otherwise.

Today marks the celebration of the birth, the awakening, and the passing of the Buddha. I had the opportunity to escort mum and her friends to a Vesak celebration at her Buddhist center.
There’s a lot of vegetarian food. I don’t usually get much vegetarian food outside. What’s not to like?
There’s a little surprise though- they were singing oldies karaoke. In the Buddhist center.
Probably the most unusual Vesak celebration that I’ve ever had. While some complained that this is unbecoming of Buddhist society, the president made an interesting note: that it’s ok for his members to sing karaoke- they are after all, lay people.
