My birthday!!

"Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, happy birthday to Me....."hehehehe

My birthday is on the 10th of March, there was something special for this year.

In the morning, my mom and I went to the ''Toul Tom Poung" pagoda to offer the food to the monks, and to pray for happiness and successful. This pagoda and I have a lof of memories and history since I was so so young.

When I was young, mom used to said:

"Child, you know when mom was pregnant, mom came to pray buddha in this pagoda to give mom a boy...", "look at that picture on the wall!"

I looked all over all the pictures painted on the wall of the pagoda, among of them there is a painting that shows about the birth of the buddha, which we was told that he was able to walk 7 steps when he was born.

"You know that image gives mom a hope, and mom was sure that you are gonna be a boy!! and a cute one!!".... I just smiling to my mom when I heard the story......;-)

After that, i went to study in the primary school in this pagoda for six years, and during those time, there more memories to have. I ran, played , walked with my friends in the field which is actually inside the pagoda area, sometime, we went to sit under the big tree which is near the pagoda, and talk...............

Even though I don't go there so often now, but every year my family and I go to this pagoda during the khmer new year.

Oh...come back for my birthday.....

Well, friends at the university bought me a cake, and we ate and laughed together. I havn't copied the photos from my friends yet, when I have it, I will upload to let all of you see...

For some of other friends, some text me, some called me, and wish me a happy birthday!!!

Hope we will be friends forever, and thank all of you so much..............

I love all of you big big......
