DC

Attended the final Dharma Circle of the semester. Always remembered the most enjoyable Dharma circles I had at BRE when I was in yr1, usually led by Sister Meibei. DCs were more like sharing sessions in the past, whereas it has now evolved into a Dharma Talk kind of session.

I was holding my hp high up in the air when i snapped this photo. Hence, the shot wasnt meant to aim at anyone, but zeathereal's face occupied almost 30% of the pic space. In the background, you can find 2 of our china friends (china right? but i forgot their names) whom are very active members in the society. Really feel so happy to see them participating actively in the society, benefitting both themselves and the campus community. Next to them is Ms P.Baru, then Pearl (duno why she so happy), then Weizhan (ahh.. another interesting newbie of the society) and followed by Pakkywing (i do see some elements of myself in him). And finally we have... DENNIS ONG!

I guess my karmic link with Dennis is pretty complex. Till today, I duno how shld i regard him as ..... He did leave an extremely great impact in my life ever since in yr2001. He was the one who kicked my ass and got me serious in buddhist learnings (if not, i wud probably be jus another joker who only fooled around in BS, and wud prob have left the society after yr2). However, he also left me an indelible imprint on my life, something not so positive though. Perhaps there are always 2 sides to a coin.

Over the yrs, I notice that while there was a greater variations in BS gals' characters, the guys in BS have always been quite typical - passive, quiet, serious, soft-spoken etc. Of cos there were a few exceptions like me! hahaha. As someone ever mentioned tat I seem to have this capability (skilful techniques or unscrupulous methods, watever u call it...) of getting ppl very close to me, I realise it still applies till today. But on the flip side, i also do have a fair share of ppl who dislike me the very first few moments they encounter me. Ha..
