I'm back after the short break from blogging.

Where did i stopped last time. Hmm, okay, 15 Nov.

On 15th, Thursday we had our youth peace prayer meeting @ SYC. We left after the gongyo with GD to the library to discuss for institution mtg. We ended up going to the food centre opposite cos SYC closes at 10pm. Really appreciate everyone's effort!

16th, Friday Had dinner with May, Penny, Xue Yun and Bryant, fellow SK alumni and Chingay 07 trainers. We had a great time catching up at Cineleisure's HK Cafe. After that most of us didn't have and didn't want to go back home so we went to the Esplanade to chit-chat. Penny and May have to leave early so I was left with Bryant and Xue Yun. The crowd cleared bit by bit and by 3am, we were the few people left there. Bought Breezer and we chatted until late in the night around 3am. Took Night Rider back home.
Night view.
Emptiness.
Beautiful exhibits along Esplanade link.
Spastic us.

17th, Saturday ITAC institution meeting was a successful one. I did a skit-presentation with Weizhang, Xiao Long, Jocelyn and Benjamin. Though i'm not sure of the exact turnout, +/- 30 i guess inclusive of ics, but most imptly was that everyone present was able to be involved in our discussion. Wan Xiang came despite that he had to rush for work right after the meeting. His presence definitely encouraged us.

When Roy did the round up, he brought up a point that brought tears to my eyes. He emphasized that our institution is particularly special because of our diversity. Thus, although we may not be from the main stream universities & institutions, yet we possess the same life opportunities and buddha nature as everyone else. It is the society that perceives us as the 'inferior', but to Sensei, we are all the same. I was really touched. It further strengtened my conviction and mission of coming to ITAC.

That night, I also had my Soka Women Glorious Victory Day meeting. Brought Shu Ling from La Salle as she wanted to find out more about our religion. Vice WD chief attended and she shared her love experiences with us. Very inspiring indeed.

I still dunno the word "die" how to write, so i went for A2 chalet AFTER THAT. (what a busy Saturday!) And i regretted going there, cos we played "zhong ji mi ma" and i got forfeited 6 times! Shan't described the unglam rest. Yet the next morning, with only 1+ hours of sleep, i still went to morning gongyo with Darren and Ghim Seng while the rest are still sleeping soundly at the chalet. If you want to know the exact description of PIGS, you should see them >> knocked out completely.

18th, Sunday So the 3 musketeers went to morning gongyo half-asleep. Darren fell asleep while chanting AT THE STAGE. I dunno abt Ghim Seng, but i managed to pull through the gongyo and chanting. Once GD started his speech i zzzZZ. Jerry was talking so loudly beside me which got me very irritated that i shut him up a few times. But i rem GD showing us the draft of our new multi-storey kaikan, it is simple yet innovative.

Went home straight after MG and K.O at my bed till 3pm. Went to 2nd Chingay training like a walking zombie yet the training turned out to be as great as the 1st, although it rained. After that went to Golden Mile food centre for dinner with Xue Yun as she wanted to buy a pair of track pants. I was craving for the rice dumplings there too. Tasted as heavenly as last time korkor brought me there.

19th, Monday Spend whole day in library rushing my Sociology assignment. Didn't go for SYC duty as i cannot finish my work in time. One person was running in my mind that whole day.

Max Weber. (zzZ)

20th, Tuesday Went PS for dinner and jalan-jalan. Took another self-obsess picture with Takuya Kimura.

It doesn't matter if i cannot be seen, HE is what matters. Haha.

21th, Wednesday Was late for almost an hour for Student Peace Lecture as we rushed down from school. Didn't really understand what the speaker presented but i did had a good laugh during the Q&A session. I'm glad i went.

22nd, Thursday Had mcdonalds for dinner with Elleen and May @ AMK Hub. Before that, May and I had a super yummy Taiwan snack from the Food Fest. there before Elleen came.
Looks YUMMY right??
After dinner we went to Toa Payoh to "38". Talked crap and soon we became cam-whores.
Take 1.
Everything looked fine. Until...
It all started with her.
Getting warmed up.
Climax.
Totally out of control.
Blue blue.
Elleen. Stella. May.
May got tired of posing.
Toot us.
Final show-down! (my ugliest pic of all)
Thanks girls for the wonderful night.

23rd, Friday Went TBSC for Chingay Prayer Mtg. The turnout was disappointing! Less than half of the participants were there. Trainers began by singing song, followed by a video clips of our audition & 2nd showcase, then encouragement by Louis. He was quite funny yet his intended pointers were brought up well, in another word, he is pretty eloquent. Abit like Leonard Koh. Haha.

24th, Saturday Last CIC training of the year. As usual, instalments of NHR were shared by, this time round, ITAC + SMU + RP. After which was a panel of sharing by Wen Sheng, Siew Hoon and Shuyi. Followed by updates by Shuyi regarding Kenshu. All institutions are supposed to be in-charge of different episodes of HR and present it during the Kenshu. ITAC & NTU are in-charge of Emerging from the Earth, a chapter on how Toda Sensei met Makiguchi Sensei, and how Ikeda Sensei met Toda Sensei, and much more. This is going to be interesting & engaging (:

Watched HERO at Marina Square after that. A rather good show with interesting plot and yet with low production costs. Haha. Takuya Kimura is still so charismatic! d*-*b

25th, Sunday ARGH! Overslept so didn't go for morning gongyo. Broke my chain of almost 3 months of continuous MG. The sleepy bug inside me at fault! This is also when my next big challenge comes in. I was still in bed at 11+ when my hp rang. Yongjie da jie da. She told me that Min Ling and I are appointed as ITAC ywd "Campaign Queens" for our 50 dialogues and homev by dec 07. I was very excited upon receiving the call. Damn kan-chiong, yet i felt very happy to have the opportunity to achieve a final victory before the year ends.

Phoned Min Ling immediately to arrange for a meetup. We studied for a few hours before going to AMK Hub for dinner and to discussed our plan. Sent an email that night to everyone to start the ball rolling. We were both thrilled and hopeful.

26th, Monday Together with Yongjie, met up with the SIM new friend whose mum had just passed away. Had a heart-to-heart talk where all of us shared our experiences and at the same time offered one another encouragement. Was glad that the ywd is looking alright and coping well with the loss. Yongjie and i gave her Sun Of All Seasons, Sensei's Speech to YWDs and also Tuesdays with Morrie. Intended to meet her again for dmkk on the 1st. Will be sending her lots of prayers. Hope to meet up her again soon.

14 ywd CICs

MUST WIN!

JIAYOU ITAC!
