When all was still quiet... I arrived before 8am even though the actual lunch started closer to 11am. Lots of waiting and briefing. A lot of students from Penang Free School came - there seems to be an endless source of young helpers from that school!
Going through the things to do By 9am the crowd started coming in, but after the briefings all we could do was sit around and wait...
Jastin, HM, CK, WK
As the monks start to arrive, the catered food is brought out. They are arranged into little plates and spread out on the long tables...
Devotees waiting while a human chain places out the food
Here's a look at the vegetarian dishes served this year. They are quite tasty, but I don't know who's the caterer who cooked all this. There's always leftovers and at the end of the event after the monks have left, we turn into greedy cretins and swoop up whatever's left. I would have taken some photos of us eating, but my hands were dirty from picking up the food...
Sambal "prawns", curry "fish", cabbage stir, brocolli + cauliflower stir, "fish" fillets, fruit platter, and vege appetizer
We finished at 12pm and I went home to get a good rest. Last weekend was quite a whirlwind and I didn't get enough rest!
