House of Worship Temple site...

15th of oct: woke up reall early.. bout 5 somethin in d a.m.. well we had to cuz we were all goin to the temple site!! yes... the Malaysian Baha'i community has finally purchased land to build our House of Worship in future. =)

*for those who have no clue on what is the Baha'i House of Worship..chek out this link.. it expalins it all..*

so far there are only 7 House of Worships... one is currently being built in Chillie.. the only one that i've been to is the one in Willmette in Chicago.. n its beautiful!

so with about 10 cars all following each other .. we manage 2 find our spot.. located in Kuala Kubu Baru.. up in a hill.. not one single soul was 2 be found there.. it was so serene.. and dis looks weird..rite on top thre's a circle of 'botak' trees planted! its so obvious..one can c it frm the highway!! reminds me a bit like stonehenge.. but dis wan is BotakTreeHenge!! hehe...
the plan was to watch the sunrise n say prayers.. but thx 2 d haze..no sunrise.. :(
so we gathered in a huge circle.. and said some prayers..in the future we will b saying prayers inside a betifully designed House of Worship.. but this is just the 1st step..
after that we took more pics.. (neva knw can put in in archives nex time!).. i was just really happy to b thre.. cuz this is jz d foundation.. n its jz an awesome feeling bein thre la.. i cant wait 2 c how it will be next time! at least i can say i went thre even b4 the corner stone was laid! hehe...

then we adjourned for light breakfast.. had d most yummy egg sandwhich EVER n oso masala tea.. it was nice 2 c like almost d whole community thre.. semangat man!

then.. we still didnt hv enuf of KKB.. so we headed 2 town 2 eat more!! haha.. d whole kopishop was filled wif us.. n i found out i was in d papers too.. nuth gr8 oso la..

afta fillin our stomachs.. we headed 2 some river somewhre nearby.. oh boy it brought good ol' memories 2 me n yt!! the view on the way was sooo beautifool!! the lake n the 'pulau' in the middle.. the trees.. man..so long neva c nature like this! and the river was ICE cold ok.. but it was soooooo clear!! its pretty rare nowdays 2 find clean river.. n NOBODY!! haha.. puasa wat..i luved dat plc.. it was soo serene n the sun reflecting on the waters.. the rocks some were huge some small.. WONDERFULL!! to bad we didnt get 2 spend d whole day thre as we didnt come planned.. definitely need 2 visit dis secret plc again...
dat was a day with good dose of nature =)
