Wesak procession

Some photos I just took. The Buddhist devotees are taking part in the Wesak Day procession which starts at 7pm. Actually I snapped these photos before the procession and hence, appearing here before the real procession starts.

(I was around the area because one of my son has karate grading at YMCA. Going out to pick him soon. Hahaha, I am beginning to feel like a real life reporter.)
