Yeah!!! everything finish....we went home happily......there are 2 group of us...1st group went to Beaufort's restaurant ate lunch...& the other one...has to rush back to KK Pu Tuo Tze Temple to send the papan tanda.....wat is the difference putting the papan tanda in home or in temple?i throw that question to my auntie...
She replied that, if put in home....family member can pray for them....
but if put in temple.....the monks....even the visitors can prayed for them...which is more better than in home....
