Yesterday went for ITAC O&G at Sentosa.

We had some-sort of Amazing Race. My group comprises of Debrah, Valerie & Zhi Jie.

First destination was the bar KM8, at Tanjong Beach. Easy because i remember it. Ha. We had to first hit a beach ball 20 times in air = chicken feet. And then dig out 4 bottles of mineral water and drink them up. Debrah was caught pouring away water.

Second one was hell. The clue card simply says "6-letter word destination" we scanned through the map and found SKYBAR. Exactly 6 letters. Elated we were, as we thought this is going to be yet another easy one. We found no one there and started to panick. There's nowhere else with 6-letters.

Then i came up with 7-eleven. 1 word, 6 letters + 1 number. We were already at our wits so we tried our luck at Beach Station's 7-11 & Palawan's 7-11.

To no avail.

So we decided to surrender back to Siloso.

Got hint that our 6-letter word is actually SILOSO. Went to confront the station master & mistress of the ambiguity. They pited us so decided to let us fast-forward to next station and gave us the clear hint by singing "under the sea.."

Found station mistress Peipei @ Underwater World. Had to read out a passage using Turtle Language(sticking our tongues out). Then Zhi Jie was asked to put his hand into a black bag and he drew a ball with "1".

1, 2, 3, 4 = Suan, Tian, Ku, La.

Obviously, we got Suan. Had to finish a packet of lemon slices within 30 sec. Although i love lemon tea but eating lemon is another thing. Without hesitation we stuffed the lemon slices into our mouths. It was so unbearable that I teared.

We got called back while we were on our way to the last station. Found out that the another group got La. So they had to eat chili padi. From their faces can tell it was pretty tough for them, esp. the one with the reddest face Chao Beng. The first group got Tian. One stick of Blackcurrant Fruitips. Lucky them.

Took the initiative to chat with some of the ITAC members. Chao Beng asked where i stay. I told him Toa Payoh. He blinked in surprise.

"Toa Payoh where?"

"Lorong 1" He blinked in surprise again.

"Dun tell me you stay in the same block as me?"

Yeah. You wish. He stay near Philips. We stay less than 1 km away actually. Ha. Next time meeting ends late i shall have no worries.

Jiayang was there also. Had another round of introduction. When it was my turn i said i love sports. They asked me wad sports. Apparently Badminton should be the one mentioned but i blurted out Diving.

"Wa..." was wad i got. Thanks.

Have been receiving quite a number of emails from SIM Dive Club regarding LOB Tioman.
Tioman. Tempting. But not now.

Anyway, had a great orientation. Thanks to all who made it happen.


After that KaiYang asked me to go FD RHQ5 Exam Daimokukai @ TSC. Had nothing else after that, anyway i feel like chanting also, so i tagged along. Chatted with KaiYang on our way. Told KaiYang that i really want to attend the monthly-Nationwide Youth Leaders Meeting. It was started this month alongside with Japan. Named as Second Phase of Kosen Rufu. I know what it means. I really want to learn & fight with Sensei while he is still with us. Hope I will have the chance to attend this meeting soon.

Jerry, Yon Chin were there for daimokukai, plus some familiar faces from Chingay. A sec 2 YMD shared his testimonial. He was from RD B2. after the meeting while waiting for rest, Minwei came and asked whether i want to be FD IC. He said he wanna "sign bond" with me first. I told im he will have to wait for another 2+ years. Cos i just "signed on" with ITAC.

Decided to go for morning gongyo. Dunno why i really have the urge to chant nowadays. I just know i will feel ease whenever i chant. I thought i will be late but surprisingly i reached at 7.45. I chose my usual spot to sit. After chanting a YMD from Johor shared his testimonial. I teared when he expressed how touched he was when he, after overcoming so much obstacles, finally met Sensei during Kenshu.

I wonder when will it be my turn.

I teared once again when a new member for 8 months, played the piece "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (The Moon Represents My Heart) on the piano. Can't stop even after she finished playing. Damn. What the hell is wrong with me. I seem a complete weakling.

Studied at SYC in the afternoon. My Deyi juniors Jerry, Hiroshi & Eng Peng will be having Social Studies & Emath Paper1 tml. All the best to them.

I never know wad i wanted in life. I never had a concrete goal in my life. What i want to achieve. Till now, after so many things have happened, im still ashamed to say that i do not have the confidence to tell wad i really want. I pray for the best for us. I really want us to be happy, to be pillars for faith & kofu and to fight for Sensei & the humanity. We will be better person, defnitely. To have nothing but the best arrangement will be my prayer. I will also pray hard for myself to realise my mission in gakkai. Whether is it in 4D, PD, FD, SD, cultural groups, editorial team, NDP, YCF etc etc. I just want to do my part well, so that i will have my own and personal victories to report & to seek out to Sensei. I really wish to see Sensei in his lifetime.

I will tell him "Sensei, i have won."
