The first day of the year

Wifey and I woke up bright and early on the first day of the new year. After a quick breakfast, we headed down to the temple to help with the spring-cleaning. We reached just after 9am. The place was already buzzing with activites.

There were 2 tea breaks and a sumptuous lunch. Along the way, we interacted with the other volunteers and the shifus, and found that everyone was really friendly and their relationship was tight. After cleaning numerous windows, wiping the dining hall fans, removed the flourescant covers for washing and other odd jobs, we left at 5 plus.

I don't think I've ever done anything so meaningful on the first day of the new year. And my right arm has never hurt so bad!
