When it seems we have no resource, we can always pray

Coming to believe that a Higher Power can help us and relieve us of our worry may take time, if we have spent years trying to stop someone's drinking or worrying about how to keep the family together.

From others in this program, we can learn the steps to take. Becoming willing to pray is the first one.
We'll soon discover that the power of prayer is awesome.
Here are six compelling reasons why:

• Prayer promises relief, when we are anxious.
• Prayer connects us with our Higher Power, when we feel isolated and full of fear.
• Prayer frees our minds from the obsession to plan other people's lives.
• Prayer helps us take action, when we feel compelled to change the circumstances of our lives.
• Prayer becomes a wonderful resource to draw on, when living through our painful moments.
• Prayer gives us the willingness to accept God's solution for every problem that plagues us.

I'll utilize prayer today at every time I wonder what should I do.

12.00pm bertolak dari rumah ke Melaka Central.
1.00pm naik Metro Bus dan bertolak ke KL.
3.30pm sampai Pudu Raya. huhu. trafik jam dari tol sungai besi sampai pudu raya. time urgent macam tu pulak nak trafik jam (dah lama tahan nak ke tandas). sampai je pudu, terus lari ke tandas. huhu...
jalan kaki ke stesyen Komuter Kuala Lumpur. Beli tiket ke Setia Jaya dan tunggu train.
4.30pm sampai Setia Jaya, ni kali pertama sampai melalui train. then dlm hujan renyai2 itu jalan kaki ke Dataran Mentari utk cari hotel Sun Inns yang telah kami book b4.
5.00pm setelah jumpa Hotel Sun View, Hotel Romeo Inns, akhirnya jumpa juga Hotel Sun Inns yang kami book. huhu. Checked in. masuk bilik. Keciknye bilik dia... sangat jauh beza dari website dia. haha. takpela, nak tido 2 malam je kat sana.
5.30pm sangat lapar so ke restoran Indonesia kat blakang utk makan. order nasi ayam penyek dan milo ais = RM13.45. huhu...
6.00pm rehat kat bilik hotel, sempat tengok cite home alone kat star movies.
10.00pm, rasa lapar lg, so turun ngan kawan nak cari kedai mamak, tapi masih hujan... so makan kat McD depan hotel.

6.00am bangun dan mandi,bersiap.
8.00am turun sarapan. since dah takde masa dan malas nak cari kedai, so sarapan kat McD je. huhu...
8.30am habis sarapan, jalan kaki ke bangunan Leisure Commerce Center dimana ESRI Malaysia berada. lepas sampai bangunan itu, malas pulak nak cari blok 4A. so sy tanya pak gad yg bertugas, dia tunjuk depan sy ngan muka sposen. Cis, rupa2nya sy mmg berdiri depan blok A4. dah tulis besar2 kat sana tak perasan. patutla pakgad tu sengih je. huhu.
9.00am akhirnya sampai juga ESRI Malaysia. Training started. PC yg saya guna byk pulak masalah. software ArcGIS server tak dapat run, so kene re-install. pas tu still tak ok jugak. huhu. then the trainer installed a virtual OS dan suruh sy run software tu dlm virtual machine tu.
Ade juga traning center itu menyediakan breakfast, nasi lemak pula tu. huhu... menyesal sarapan kat McD. cis cis
1.00pm lunch time. kuar bangunan tu cari tempat makan, jalan2 tak jumpa. so dengan kecewanya balik ke bangunan tersebut, baru perasan ade food court kat sebelah lg bangunan itu. huhu... nape tak perasan awal2, sia-sia je jalan sini sana.
5.00pm habis training first day. balik hotel dan berehat.
8.30pm turun makan. (terpaksa pinjam duit roomate coz dah takde duit langsung pas bayar deposit hotel rm400)
9.00pm martin called. dia kata tempat diaorg LI tu dekat je ngan hotel yg saya tinggal and ade atm kat 7-e sebelah kedai minyak Shell. walked there and withdraw my money. Martin ngan Farhan turun jumpa sy. then sy lepak bersama mrk kat kedai makan. lepas itu mrk ajak sy naik tempat mrk. wah, mmg tinggal dlm office rupa2nya budak2 tu. haha. mrk suruh sy lepak sana mlm tu dan siap pasang projector nak tayang movie yg mrk download. sy yg letih setuju je, tapi lbh kurang 2-3 minit tengok movie tu, terus tertido. haha.

8.30am check out dr hotel dan terus ke training center utk day-2 punya course.

11.00am akhirnya sarapan sampai. aik?! hari ni sandwich je? huhu... cam terasa tertipu je... haha. padan muka sendiri.
1.00pm lunch time. hari dah tau dah mana nak makan, so takdela jalan cni sana. tapi time tu tengah hujan. dlm kedai pulak penuh. so terpaksa duduk luar. walaupun ade payung, tapi basah juga sebab air hujan menitis antara payung itu. huhu. the worse lunch experience in my life. huhu.
5.00pm akhirnya, habis kursus. yeah blh balik dah. so terus ke ktm station.
6.00pm setelah hampir 1 jam menunggu, akhirnya train yg sarat ngan penumpang sampai. mula2 give up je sebab langsung takleh masuk. but lepas tu kami masuk secara paksa... hahaha... tolak tolak.
