on a lazy Sunday

phew! just came back home from... well, let's c.. the day begin like this.. when i slept last nite, i set 2 of my alarms at 9am, but still failed to wake up. guess what time i woke up? 2.45pm! omg. slept for so long. couldnt believe it myself. was i that tired? anyhu's the plan for going all d way to Kajang to fix the car was cancelled due to my fault, re-arranged it to Tuesday. hope i don screw up d plan this time. so as usual, onlined, chatted with John, found out both of us were hungry at the time. then, Zhien was too, so is Alfred. So, John went to pick everyone up. by the time he arrived at my house it was already 4 plus. Hungry to d max but managed to eat some Oreo's b4 leaving cuz couldnt stand it already. so went over to SS19 first, couldnt find food, then went to Taipan to eat Bak Kut Teh. it was nice. then i suggested to go watch Corpse Bride cuz i so wanted to watch it. so we went to fetch Clarence then went to One Utama GSC to watch it. couldnt get the tickets at 7.20pm, so bummed a while there to wait for the reserved tickets to see whether there was any opening for the 9.10pm movie. got them finally. watched it & thought the Corpse Bride at first was scary. she looked a lil scary but found out she's really nice. the movie was a lil short though. later, went over to Chow Yang to eat dinner, i ate Hokkien Mee. havent had it for a long time. went home after that. and now, i think im gonna watch The Perfect Score cuz i dont think im gonna go sleep so soon. i miss my baby a lot though.. keep thinking about baby!! Baby~ i love you so much!! =) *hugs*

ANyway, Zhien told me everyone was at Zoran's place cuz it was his birthday! so, Gur dropped me there & he headed back to Sg. Buloh. so i went to wish Zo a very Happy Birthday! ate more food, (salad, curry puff, cake, tea, orange fizz) talked, laughed, played UNO, listened to music while d rest played Star Wars Monopoly. everyone was laughing like mad cow'z. Everyone was also imitating my lecturer of how she was calling my name..

work experience!

hmm... wow.. these few days have been.. a new experience for me.. studying and working at the same time.. now i know what it feels like.. the hassle of rushing after lectures and to take the car to get to the train station and from there got to work OR just drive straight to KL (which is totally insane, i'll tell u why later) so basically, went for interview yesterday. got the job! hmm.. let's just say i have to make a certain requirement or else i don't get paid! but, im working for experience.. so Orientation and Training already begun since yesterday. Today went for 2 training sessions, and gonna continue tomorrow as well. Gosh, so exhausting & tired. Everytime after work, i feel so tired.. and all i wanna do is sleep! i c my bed, its that great satisfaction.. a place where u can rest. havent felt that in a long time now. usually i sleep whenever i want and its hard to sleep at normal hours.. now, at 1pm i can get tired easily. guess its better this way. i hate not sleeping well. but there are sacrifices made to it though. so today was extremely sucky for me. getting to work was fine. found d place & parking without any trouble.. but later had to re-park my car cuz the place where i park (I had to drive up 14 floors to get there! - IT WAS DAMN TIRING!) was too expensive, RM2 per hour. Paid RM6. during lunch hour parked somewhere else, had to walk to get to the office. its kinda nice this feeling. walking to work, looking at other people & their life, how they strive for the best. especially in LRT's & Monorails. People carrying their business bag, talking on handsfree & all that. Then i can look at people's faces & just think about life for a second. and, bumped into a friend of mine, Naveen at KL Sentral whom i have not met for a few years now! =) oooohh.. and at training today.. learnt some new stuff and found out there are rude people out there... or they basically just lie to u in your face (Yes, they think im stupid) ok, here is where the sucky part comes. after work, drove back home.. then, duno what the heck happened, was driving & driving, and i came to a conclusion where i didnt know where i was. it was 5pm and the jam was really bad. all the cars seem like they could just bang me any moment. plus i was so tired & sleepy then. but i had to focus driving on the road. somehow i duno how i got to the road leading mostly to Seremban, Malacca, Ipoh & all. and then i knew i was lost, so i asked d taxi driver beside me how to get to Subang, he told me to follow Sg. Besi road & that'll lead u to PJ. i did that but NOOOOOO... i didnt c any PJ signs anywhere after that.. then.. i realized.. i was SOMEWHERE IN CHERAS! how the hell did i end up there...?? no one knows really... ooo.. to make matters worse, my car made this noise.. its like my engine or bumped was dislocated from the car.. it was like hanging out.. waiting just to fall onto the road.. it gave the *bump* sound. i ignored it, coz it was jam and i couldnt get down the car to check & i was on d highway.. so then, i msged Christine & told her i was lost. she told me to CHILL. right. i was on the road for almost 2 hours! so pissed, tired & sleepy! i almost fell asleep while driving. imagine, i was that tired. so i decided to do the smart thing, call my aunt & ask for directions. she told me to get to Jln Loke Yew. so i did then finally & very slowly, managed to get back home. after 2 hours 20 minutes. BLOODY JAM. ergh.. it was like i drove from where i started, came back again to the city and drive back all the way again. wasting time, petrol & my health is deteriorating. i was sooooooooooooooooooo happy to be back home. took a shower and went to sleep! i couldnt stand it. i had stepdance practice but i seriously needed some rest and hoping to go a bit later, but Abz called and said they were done for the day & i need not have to go. so, i went with Katie to eat my dinner at 10.30pm. tomorrow, same thing again. work! i have tutorials tomorrow morning which i have to go prepare now. nice life eh? *sigh*

job

another day... ate this meehoon (in those brown packet) which costs RM1.00. the cheapest food i could find. then, add an egg which costs RM0.60 + one teh ais costing RM1.30. Altogether = RM2.90. Had exactly RM3.00 to pay them & i got 10 cents in return. finally went to pay my bills today. only paid the phone bills cuz they might cut it anytime soon and i dont want that to happen & go thru the hassle of calling & re-applying & get charged for extra fees... ergh.. had no money to pay for internet bills la... so that should wait a while.. Christine was telling the lady in the counter how i was so broke + poor & i had no money to pay for streamyx. *sigh* went searching for jobs at subang parade today... not much luck... most of them want full time workers... or otherwise, part time but the working hours aren't flexible... well, thats for today... but still did apply for them... but dont think will get any answers back though... 2 tutorials to be done this week and i havent done them.. due tomorrow! well, well, having dance practice again tonight. hope everything goes well on saturday! cheers.

The New Era

For those out there who does not know about the Baha'i Faith (my religion), here it is. And, please click on the title "The New Era" to get into another link, also about the Baha'i Faith.

What is Baha’i?

A short summary of the faith, its history and tenets.

By Sophia Paraschos (October 20, 2005)

The well being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established. – Bahá’u’lláh

The Baha’i Faith is built around the principle of unity and the belief that all people, regardless of race, gender or religion, should work together for the good of humankind. The religion was founded in Iran by Baha’u’llah in the mid-nineteenth century and today has 6 million followers in 235 countries around the world. Bahais believe in one God who assumes different human forms, or Divine Messengers, in order to reveal his message.
Bahais acknowledge leaders of other major religions — Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus Christ and the Prophet Muhammad — as examples of manifestations of God, and accept all these religions as true. Bahais believe that these Divine Messengers provide guidance unique to their time and culture and consider Baha’u’llah to have been the latest, but not the last, of these manifestations.

The main spiritual practices for Bahais include prayer, fasting and meditation, through which Bahais strive to achieve both communion with God and unity among all people.

The Baha’i faith emphasizes the importance of family and education in promoting unity and equality.
In keeping with this emphasis on equality, the Baha’i faith was the first world religion to appoint a female leader — Baha’u’llah’s daughter, Bahiyyih Khanum.

PRAYER FOR THE DEPARTED

O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins! Bestower of gifts! Dispeller of afflictions! Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world. O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.

- Abdu'l Baha-


PRAYER FOR ASSISTANCE

O Lord, my God! Assist Thy loved ones to be firm in Thy faith, to walk in Thy ways, to be steadfast in Thy cause. Give them Thy grace to withstand the onslaught of self and passion, to follow the light of divine guidance. Thou art the Powerful, the Gracious, the Self-Subsisting, the Bestower, the Compassionate, the Almighty, the All-Bountiful.

-Abdu'l Baha-
