Day 475 - today is a public holiday (Queens B'day) so i don't have to work. very nice weather after few days of rain. today, the band is having a celebration party for our successful concert at Takuya san house. woke up early to go shopping with Wendy. we bought some crab balls for the party. we were quite early to reach the venue. so, we helped in making breads(ham&cheese and sweetcorn rolls). ooo ... my 1st time rolling doughs ..... some looked like socks, roti canai etc. so many funny outcome but it was really fun. heaps of things to eat eg. sausages, crab balls, sushi, kimchi, dal curry rice, pasta, home made rolls, chips, wine, beers, sodas etc! after eating, we watched our performance video before going home. hitched a ride from Masao san, Yuki & I got down at downtown. was thinking to walk home but since the weather is good, i decided to walk to the habour and enjoy my evening. sat on the bench and listening to my Ipod made my day off so relaxing. then, took the free bus to Borders to read some magazines. it was raining when i walked back home. no umbrella ... luckilly it wasn't that heavy. slept at 9pm. too tired.
Day 474 - attended World Peace Chanting meet. its my 1st day of duty as a member of Senko kai (photographers team). so proud & very determined to do my best to shoot for kosen rufu & Sensei. was again in tears while watching Sensei's video. saw the M'sian troupe in d video too shouting 'Malaysia Boleh' in front of Sensei. Sensei again touched on the mission of brass band, chorus group & Kotekitai. more in tears.
Day 473 - 10am went to Kayokai meeting at Seiko san's house. was asked to take photos of the meeting to be sent to Sensei. it was a great session, heard many experiences & hardship of others. i will never give up as i have gakkai & faith. my dream will surely come true if i just continue fighting. STRIVE ALL OUT Angie!!! together with Seiko san, we went to have coffee with Koji san which is the chief photographer of SGINZ. he related his experience to us which is so inspiring. im very honoured to shoot & learn along with him. went home bout 5pm, clear and empty my room & bomb it. stupid fleas made my legs so itchy & painful. will kill them once & for all. after kao tim everything, i returned the vacuum cleaner to Wendy and then walked to Nigel's house to pass him some Gyoza Seiko san made for us. came home and slept till the next day. it was so so tiring after a long day.

Day 467 - THIS IS THE DAY! its 30.5.2010! its Victorious March Band 10th Anniversary & 8th Joint Concert with Manukau City Concert Band. can't believe im able to play for the 2nd time. i still remember when we were sharing our resolutions last year before the performance started. i said it will be my 1st and may be the last time to play with VMB. everyone especially the leaders encouraged me to chant for the fortune to stay in NZ and they are sending daimoku for me to stay on. true enough ... here i am again! i have made resolution to be able to participate in the 2011 concert & fingers crossed, i will make it happen!
this year, Koji san went to Japan & couldn't come back in time to photograph our concert. so i asked Tiffany's help to do so. thx Tiff for her effort. after the concert, we helped the 'behind d scene' team to clean the centre. after that we had ramen dinner with Masao san, Nigel & Wendy.
... to be continued
