6 months of sweat...

That's right. I worked on thes two projects since last mid November. "Seeds" I started from the very scratch as the Assistant Director, and "The Firm" I only joined in halfway, assisted in both the production and the post production. Both were really exciting to work on, and I had the opportunity to learn many things from organic farming to real estate situation. ;-)

Seeds is a fresh, hip and more attractive look at the agriculture sector. It takes you through the upbeat side of agriculture and showcases its appeal and how lucrative the business can be. Watch every Sunday 5pm on NTV7. www.seeds.tv/

The Firm is a one hour corporate reality tv program, ala 'The Apprentice'. The 10-episode series, which will start on June 24, will be aired at 9.00pm every Sunday and is expected to attract up to 600,000 television viewers.

Baha'i Awareness Week

This week is the Baha'i Awareness Week for my community here in PJ. It almost comes to an end, but I thought I'd like to cut and paste this little writeup about this very wonderful Faith I have, and share it with you all.

ps. last day of work today. marking the end of a phase, and the entering of a new one. :)

About the Bahá'í Faith

The Bahá’í Faith is a world religion based on the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. He explained that there is only one God and one human family, and that all religions are spiritually united. Bahá’u’lláh’s writings offer spiritual guidance as well as directives for personal and social conduct.

The more than five million Bahá’ís around the world are engaged in the process of learning how to translate that guidance into realities of individual and community life. Though they come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they are united by their belief in Bahá’u’lláh and by their desire for a united, prosperous, and peaceful future for all of humanity.

Principles of Bahá’í Belief

The Bahá’í Faith recognizes the unity of God and of His Prophets, upholds the principle of an unfettered search after truth, condemns all forms of superstition and prejudice, teaches that the fundamental purpose of religion is to promote concord and harmony, that it must go hand-in-hand with science, and that it constitutes the sole and ultimate basis of a peaceful, an ordered and progressive society.

It inculcates the principle of equal opportunity, rights and privileges for both sexes, advocates compulsory education, abolishes extremes of poverty and wealth, exalts work performed in the spirit of service to the rank of worship, recommends the adoption of an auxiliary international language, and provides the necessary agencies for the establishment and safeguarding of a permanent and universal peace.

let me see...

there's few things that i never thought i could, or WOULD do, but somehow did it (or is still doing it) - this year thus far.

1. work night shift - to go back and edit again, and actually having to work from 10pm - 6am. always wonder how the rest of the world did it (esp. the call centre ones), but yupp, i did it for couple of days, and going to be doing it for few more days.

2. tutor a ruhi discussion group - although so far only 2 classes, but glad we started it. i've tried co-tutoring with another tutor before, but this is the first time i had to facilitate fully the discussion, of course with help from others. ;-) guess all i have to do is don't think so much, just jump on the wagon!

3. spending $$ on make up. gosh, i feel old just going around shopping for make up, trying out this brand, that color, this material... guess when i was 10 i'd never thought i'd grow up to do so after all! (it's essential shopping, not leisure...).

4. to survive a 15 months long distance relationship and is still kicking butt. hooray!

5. erm, and getting married too. =)
