Happy Wesak Day

Wishing All of You and Family Good Luck, Good Health and Happiness on Wesak Day and Always.

For the second year running my trishaw and I participated in Wesak Day procession organized by Seck Kia Eenh (SKE) temple, last night. Well, I got myself involved last year when my buddy, Ho Meng gave me a last minute emergency phone-call and asked for a favour. His mother-in-law has always booked for a trishaw ride on the Wesak Day procession with one trishaw rider but unfortunately, the trishaw rider has fallen ill on that day.

So, that’s how I got myself involved. It was really fun, my first experience and the longest journey I ever peddled too, at that time and gave me the chance to go round the town area. Now talking about it,… I feel so guilty as charged. I have never collected any money before from anyone taking on my trishaw ride, as it was all only for the fun (and exercise) and nothing else.

But at last year’s procession, after Ho Meng’s mother in-law, his daughter and another cousin got off from my trishaw near the St Francis Xavier church, a Singaporean family asked if I could take their grandma till Jonker Walk, which I happily gave them the ride and threw in a short intro of Malacca to her grand daughter too.

Then immediately after they got down from my trishaw, I offered an old lady and her friend a ride to the temple (for free, as always) as I saw this old lady was struggling walking after such a long distance, especially for her age. Strangely, her friend was reluctant to take my offer at first so I continued with my journey. But then when they caught up with me minutes later, she asked if I could gave them a ride. I took them to the temple and before this old lady got down from my trishaw she game me something in my hand. I told her NO, it’s for free and I rode trishaw for fun only. She insisted and said it’s a Wesak Day and this is for your good health. Well, that was the only blessing RM5 I ever made from riding my trishaw and this happened exactly a year ago.

Happy Wesak Day!
