Day 222 - 224

Day 224 - went to work at 12pm. went out at 7.00pm to attend gosho meeting. it has been ages since i went for gakkai activities. glad i did tonite. all thanks to my leader Vikki who never stop encouraging & reminding me bout meetings. went to the meeting place by bus together with Wendy(M'sia), Satomi(Japan) & Vikki(Scotland). learned a few gosho passage of 'writing letter to my brother'. some inspiring notes that i would like to share:

1. the purpose of faith is to pass through the valleys of hardship.

2. the process of changing karma forges & polishes our lives to the highest degree.

3. trial(obstacles) will prove(test) your faith.

4. you may hate this world but you cannot escape it. so, face it!

5. you must neither show nor feel any fear. you must grit your teeth & never slacken in your faith.

6. be the master of your mind, don't let your mind be your master.

Day 216 - 221

just received an email from Mendy. its my birthday card from my dear Andy. thx sis 4 the photo! Day 221 - about 7am, suddenly there's a man came knocking on my unit's door. i guess it was the same guy who did that stupid thing 3 times before over the past few months! i didn't care about it but it lasted quite some time. in the end, my flatmate came out to check on it & i came out too. i told her quitely that this is not the 1st time this fella came. it seems that he's looking for someone. we can't ask 4 help coz the reception only opens at 10am. his knocking began to be more hard and he uttered vulgar words. so scared till cannot continue sleeping. previous 3 times i was just alone and u imagine how scared i was. he tried knocking hard, turning the door knob, kicking the door, shouting .... etc. luckily this time my flatmate is around. i better standby a knife by my side!
