snippetsss

went for a baha'i winter school. we don't have winter here, but for the baha'is, there will always be 'winter' and 'summer' schools, disregard where it's held. it's similar to conferences, but less serious and it's not a meeting. there will be talk sessions, workshops for different age group, games and social nights. this year, the central region is organizing a winter school but because it's a holiday season, many families travelled from afar to come n share the spirit. more than 1000 people were present. just some pics of me n friends...




i have the privilege to be part of a production team that will be documenting stories from early believers of the Baha'i Faith. Mrs. Teresa Chee is one of the 4 daughters to the very first enlightened believer of the Faith, Mr. Yan Kee Leong, whom we more fondly known as uncle Yankee. aunty chee is a natural speaker, she flows her story well without having us to prompt her, and it was really captivating to see her speak! with so much joy, spirit, and emotions, her stories brought us back to the old days when there were a handful of baha'is in malaysia. the 3 of us listened to her intently, as though we were part of the history. for a separate project, i went n visit the asli kampong near tanjung rambutan. half n hour on a hilly road ride, we arrived at the village. the picture of the house, is actually a baha'i centre built by the aslis, and that's the interior. it's really cool, i love these kinda houses.
