17 MAY 2011 TUE - Happy Vesak to all, Happy Birthday to MaMa

[ lunar calendar 15th day of the 4th month = Vesak Day = MaMa's birthday ]
btw, PaPa's birthday = Deepavali = Hindu month of Kartik (usually in OCT or NOV)

my parents' 生辰八字 so matching hor, i guess...
Vesak Day is observed by Buddhists, commemorating the birth and enlightenment of Buddha and his entry into Nirvana.
Deepavali or Divali or the festival of lights is observed by Hindus in recognition of the triumph of good over evil in the seventh month of the Hindu calendar.

below are the pics taken on MaMa's birthday celebration today...
