Day 513 - fine day. cold.
Called M'sian Embassy to ask some questions. email-ed Immigration PIC and he told me he'll give me 3 months of permit in order to give me time to get my Police Cert. very prompt and kind service. you definately won't get this kind of service in M'sia! all you see in long black faces.
finished class at 12pm.went to buy internet credit. went to get a letter from my apartment & faxed to Immigration. Nigel's parents came to say hi in the evening.

still sorting out how to get 'Letter of Good Conduct' frm M'sia. headache. took 1 hour time off to go Immigration office to submit my Attendance & Performance record from my previous level. the PIC of my case is very helpful.
Seiko san came to pass me a gift from Ikeda Sensei. i though it was for all YWD or something. but to my surprise, it was from Sensei to ME! i always hear people getting direct guidance from Sensei, and can't believe i can get it too! sensei responded to my letter and determination which i sent to him (wrote a thank you letter to him for the photo he choose printed out in Seikyo Shimbun). i am so touched, happy and speechless! i will need to fight more in order to repay gratitude to Sensei. i must win!

Day 508 - 510

Day 510 - 12.7.2010 fine day. cold.
its 1st day of class.can't believe i can actually continue my Diploma level. guess nothing is really impossible after all. as long as u continue striving and challenge yourself beyond your own limit. life is going to be tougher from today onwards. have to cope with studies, assignment, work and gakkai activities. can't afford to not work a day as i still need to earn for my daily life and for future use. finish class at 12.30pm and had to rush to work. monday to friday ....... same thing.
1st assignment-----intermedia! have to create shots for a ad using 'large format' camera! 3 choices~Cola?Nike?Chanel? i think im going to choose CocaCola since im a big fan of it. for those who have been to my house, im sure you're aware of my worldwide collections. got 10 weeks to complete this project. i can still go to work till night for the next 2 weeks i guess. then have to start shooting.
finished work at 11.30pm

Day 508 - fine day. cold cold cold. 1-2 degree only!!!!
today got no practice so slept happily till 2pm. went shopping for stationery with Wendy. Justin invited us for pasta. i guess he is too lonely without Nigel being around. reached his house 6.30pm. after dinner, more than 10 of his friends came to play 'Werewolf' card game. those who were killed by the werewolf or die in any situation must take a 'shot'. so many hard liquer in the middle, u choose whichever you want. girls have to the option to mix with sprite. my alchohol tolerence is getting better, thanks to Angie who always ask me to drink in order to keep me warm. yes, it really keeps you warm in winter. went back home at 2.30am.

Day 507 9.7.2010

fine and cold! max 16 deg min 2 deg

full house for tonight. a group of Malaysians came to eat. later found out that one of them is a 'Yang Berhormat' from Terengganu. 15 of them came to do research for a bridging program with M'sian Uni. so, its their 'official' visit i guess. they covered the bills of other 'Malay'sian students who were eating at that time. lucky night for them. when the students were about to leave, they were given $100 each! omg ..... look at that! this is where tax payers $$$ go.
i hope my blog will be discovered by the Govt. other wise, i'll b sent to jail :P

finished work at 1.30am.

Thursday 8 July 2010

Day 506 8.7.2010

fine day

finished work at 11.30pm. mendy told me over facebook that i owe U-Mobile RM500!!!
what the hack!!!! 2 years ago i sign up 2 accounts at their promo counter. the salesman said that the SIM card is free because U-Mobile has just started. he said that if 3 months time i do not use the service, they will automatically cut off the service so that we don't have commitment. damn! 2 months before i was about to leave to NZ,i asked my auntie to help cancel the account because they keep on charging me monthly fee. damn ..... now mendy told me they sent a letter 2 me asking me 2 pay balance RM500 and notify that the account has been succesfully terminated. stupid idiot company. lesson: never sign up anything from any promo booth!!!!!

Day 502 4.07.2010

Rainy day. tired

woke up 7.30am. gotta b at kaikan by 8.30am. Masao san came and pick me and Wendy. we did D&G together and shared our determinations. had a short warm up and get ready. got a message that Koji san's car broke down and i had to cover the event first. luckily i decided to bring my camera and flash. but i forgot to charge my battery, smart rite? i chanted in my hear that my battery will last till the end of the meeting. yes ..... i really managed to pulled through. so lucky. managed to get a few shots and rush back to my position. we played 'World Kosen Rufu' & 'Human Revolution'. then, i went back to my photographer job again. like a crazy woman. hahaha .......
watched Sensei's video on his receiving award from QingHwa University, China. its was touching as always. The President of the Uni even said that Sensei has always been his idol. wow ...... nowadays, many Chinese still hate Japanese because of World War. but through Sensei's sincere dialogue & actions, he has broke the ice! Sensei encouraged us to learn from China. China has influence many cultural factors in other Asian countries. Why is China so rapidly growing? its because they are unity, they work as one. 'itai doshin' as we always hear in Gakkai. i was awaken by some of Sensei's guidance. 今から始める! Start Now! Courage leads to Wisdom. We must have courage.

finished by 11.30am. went home at 12 something. had a short nap and went to work. so busy today, just like Friday night's situation. finished work at 2am.
