but now.. well lets say it has become more of S.A.D - single awareness day..as JJ n Rudy puts it.. lucky me i had full day of classes 2 keep me busy.. and at nite we went 2 meet some baha'i pioneers frm china..it was all good..
im happy 2 b surrounded by frens n sibs who r thre 4 me..
LUV u PeEPZ!

" When there is love, nothing is too much trouble, and there is always time." -Baha'i Writings-

r we prejudiced?

lately in our social psych class we have been discussing about prejudice, discrimination n stereotyping.. we even had 2 watch Crash and do a review about it... from the movie(which is an awesome movie btw), we see that all of us prejudiced people, wheather we like it or not... we stereotype people because it is convenient for us to 'figure' them out... think about this..




but we were not born prejudiced... small chlidren are the purest humans..they do not care who you are, as long as you love them, they will love you back.Bahá'u'lláh has also taught that prejudices, whether religious, racial, patriotic or political are destructive to the foundations of human development. Prejudices of any kind are the destroyers of human happiness and welfare. Until they are dispelled the advancement of the world of humanity is not possible, yet racial, religious and national bias are observed everywhere. For thousands of years the world of humanity has been agitated and disturbed by prejudices. As long as it prevails, warfare, animosity and hatred will continue. Therefore if we seek to establish peace we must cast aside this obstacle, for otherwise agreement and composure are not to be attained (Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 240)if we want to make this world a better place, it always has to start with our self.. by being aware that we have our prejudices and we do sterreotype people is the 1st step to stop being prejudiced. once we are aware.. i think the liklihood of us discrminating or stereotyping someone else will be much less.. it is so bloody hard sometimes, because we already have preassumed things of people when we see them.. but if we look at their positive side, it will help us to love them. if a person has 9 bad qualities and 1 good quality, we should always focus on that good quality and try to grow from there.this is also why children should be educated from young to love everyone, regardless of color, religion, size, etc... so that when they grow up, they wont be prejudiced people...
after all humanity was created from the same stock...
so spread the love ya'll..!!

n there he goes..

one after another.. all my frenies are leaving me.. *sob*sob*
next in line was joa... dis dude been dying 2 study abroad since he was std 6.. rite?? well finalee he got his dream come tru...

New Year's adventure...

this is such a late post... but before jan ends.. i just wanna wish ya'll hapy new year! and may this year be full of love and adventure... :)

as for my new years celebration.. it was my first time spending it in another country wit my couz's n sis.. definitely something different! we were all at my gram's place in Bukittinggi.. which is a very small town.. a lil bit better than a village but still not close 2 being a city..

people were already out in the afternoon.. going to the main area which is the Jam Gadang (translation: big clock).. we decided to go chek it out when it was 11pm.. since we had nothing 2 do at home..
we walked out of the house n when we reached the main road..boy was it packed with human beings, cars n motorbikes!! we continued squashing with every1 n headed up... there were poeple EVERYWHRE.. some were already sitting on the curbs sleeping.. they even brought their babies along 2 endure dis.. poor kids.. we just couldnt understand why they bothered to come out if they were tired and wanted to sleep.. must b ke po chi's.. hehe.. (if u look closely at d pic u can c the clock in the left)

anyway we manage 2 reach d top whre the clock is after being squashed, lost n wat not.. we wanted to go 2 the hotel nearby but decided not, cuz it thre was a sea of ppl we wuld had 2 get tru.. so we bought ourselves
TEH BOTOL as our last drink for 2006, n 1st for 2007.

Then before even the clock hit 12a.m, people were shooting firecrackers from everywhre.. so dangereous cuz we almost got hit by em..!! but thre were some tht were pretty nice la.. nuthin beats those huge ones we have here tho! by the time the clock hit 12a.m, people had run out of their firecrackers, so thre was less of it.. n the onli thing dat happen 2 the clock was dat it lit up with white light.. no one was jumping n screaming happy new year.. they didnt even have a countdown!! every1 was focused wit their camera phones taking pics of the clock.. totally weirdd!! we stood there dumbfounded....


it was like a culrute shock for me n my sis... our new year eve had just passed like that.. n our legs were so tired of walking n standing!! so we heaed 2 dat hotel which we wanted 2 go earlier n chilled thre b4 we started on our 'journey' back.
on the way we bought murtabak (choc, cheese n durian.. uughh!) jz for fun n nabil kept insisting d dude 2 put durian in..




so yeah dat was about it la.. ThAt was My NeW YeaRs EvE celebration in Bukittinggi...

Raleigh Intro Weekend Camp

after such a looong time i finally got 2 go camping 4REAL again! weeeee...! it was last min stuff tho.. but thank god i got it.. Raleigh Intro Weekend Camp is sth i've heard from limei.. n yeah i thought i wuld b cool 2 test my physical n mental strength.. fuyoh...
anyway it was tough yet fun camping for 2days.. we made our own shelter.. which i think was not bad cuz every1 could fit into it even tho we were pretty squashed up! yeah our team DELTA was the onli team with most ppl (11)! n we had sum pretty awesome weird cheers for our grp.. char kuey tiow included!

we had lots of challenges to go tru.. it was interestin.. now i realli know how blurrr i am lah! some tasks were simple for us.. d othrs were almost impossible! but we stuck tru.. got all muddy at 1 point too.. yyummm.. ;p

our food intake for 2days were army packed food.. the packaging not very the best lookin la..but the food inside was actually not bad! tho d rice we should hv let it cooked longer cuz we were eatin it like cookies (as alvin puts it!)..but i gotta thank May for 'pinjaming' her mess tin 2 me cuz i had no idea wat it was n brought a tupperwear instead! hehe...

btw there are NO toilets or privacy plc to bathe/ change/ pee.. we just had 2 find some bushy plc..lil bit away frm civilization n DO It! hehe.. lucky our grp had sarongs..came in VERY handy..cuz tht's whre we'd change.. it was fahney cuz everyone is around n doin their own stuff while we took turns changin..

hey we even hiked Bukit Kutu (wat a name la!) for like 12 hrs or so.. we were 3/4 up.. then the rain poured so hard we coulndt hike to reach d top.. mayb got lots of kutu thre.. hehe..im so thankful dat Michelle(our leader 4 trecking) didnt get lost n got us 2 our 'pit stop'.. terror la she! so frm daylight 2 darkness we were in d jungle... i almost gave up la.. but cannot let me team down wat!! no regrets on dat cuz in d end it was all good.. gettin muddy n dirty.. sliding down the hill...lookind at d beautifooool stars.. crossing freeeezin cold water...bitten by leeches...playin panguin game n tangle in middle of d nite..goin tru all of it wit me team mates.. awsomenesss!

well thres too much 2 type la.. must go 4yrself 2 xperience it!
go chek out their web site!* pics compliments frm Shih Chung(facilitator of grp DELTA!)

*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...

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...
