Malaysia - Mosque

Check out:

I updated it with more pics from Malaysia!

And here are more too from the tabung masid negara - a rather large (and perhaps the national) mosque in Kuala Lumpur.



Wanna check out a mosque? Take a tour with me...Step 1: Lose the shoes but cover up with a purple robe.

This was at the entrance of the mosque...I forget what exactly it is. Sorry. That's what happens when you take too long to write things down.

The outside of the large prayer room.

The Muslim equivalent of a steeple

Cool-lookin' clock :)


The prayer room. It's like a "chapel" I suppose but there's no minister. Everyone just goes there to pray. You're not allowed in unless you're a follower of Islam. Hmm....

A cool shot that Ben took :)

This doesn't exactly go with the rest of the pics (or maybe it does depending on how you look at things) but I wanted to make sure you saw the hose that is used instead of tissue....I carry my own tissue. Also, this was taken at the national park so it's a western-style toilet but many times you run into the stand-up style. Didn't snap a pic of that....sorry!

Addicted

Can't stop watching dance shows - LOVING them right now! After a bboy show a few weeks ago, I've been really loving all that mess. Any cure for the inability to stop watching dance shows???

A Conversation in my Head...

(This has been edited and revised to a PG rating for the general audience.)

"What am I doing with my life?"
"Who really knows?"
"Should I try to settle down?"
"I really should settle down."
"But then I'd be miserable."
"Or would I? I love children. I want a kid."
"Wait, hell no I don't. That would mean no Jack, Evan or Jose for 9 months."
"Well maybe not kids, but I should find a boyfriend."
"But then I can't snog random hotties. And what if I start dating one guy, get serious and then find a guy that I'm even more compatible with?"
"I shouldn't have messed things up with __(insert various names here)__."
"But then I wouldn't have done what I have or gotten where I am now."
"Speaking of....where should I go next? How much longer should I stay here? Can I go back to school next year? Or Germany?"
"Mom and Dad support whatever I choose."
"But they are getting up there in years....and Grandmother's not doing well. And Lena's gonna have the other baby in March. It's hard to support her from so far away. Maybe I should go home...."
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Screw my life."
"Wish I could just rewind the clock back to the days of lollipops and jellyshoes."
