Out of Penang - Week 1

hi guys.

time to update you guys bout my where about.
im currently at Bandar Baru Bangi working as a video/photographer for 3 months while waiting for my trip to be confirm.

Day 1 to 3 is like hell. miss my family & friends. i enjoy my work very much but i had to sleep at my office ALONE. i was sleeping in fear. i keep on chanting to calm myself.
The appearance of my shoten zenjin/good fortune. i found a SGM member who was willing to give me a place to sleep. sincerely thank you Sua Fun & family. without them, i would have sleepless & unsecure nights. at least i have a bed to sleep rather than sleeping on the carpet. boss & male colleagues like to come at bout 10pm to chit chat & smoke. I HATE IT! i only get to sleep at about 2-3am & wake up at 7am. at Sua Fun hse, i get to sleep with security & i have gohonzon to chant to. she is kind enough to borrow me her car as coincidently she bought a new car. i oso get to eat auntie's cooking after back from work, so 'hang fook'. although i have to travel bout 30min to office & my cost of living will increase but security first than money. i think these are all the good fortune i ccumulated all these while in kosen rufu. i'm now joining the Puchong district meetings. had the opportunity to help the Graphic grp on 19.9.08 to set up the paintings for an exhibition at GCC.

i though i would spend my birthday alone but im so touch that my Penang comrades 'so ngam' came to KL for FeiYang concert & they celebrated with me. again on the same day, Suet Liang & Siew Ling oso celebrated with me.
im coping with my work very well. my producer is so surprise that i can finish my whatever assignment in a very fast manner. "Angie, cepatnya u siap!" .... haha ..of coz la ..... im a SGM member leh .... work must be fast & perfect. must show good example. so .... i get to learn more in just a few days time. im the videographer, photographer, editor, music director etc.

Hideaki & Paola

last 2 weeks, 3 Soka Gakkai Japan members came to Penang for vacation. there are naoki san[Professor in Soka Women College], hideaki san[mechanic in a big car brand co] & paola san[wife of naoki san;teaching Italian in Soka Uni]. very fortunate to get to know them (thx Mendy, MJ & Winnie for encouraging me to approach them). after few days, i took them to tour around Penang & ate seafood at Tambun. but too bad naoki sensei had to go back to Japan to teach. glad that i can practice my Japanese with them. hahaha ..... at least we can communicate better rather than just showing our hands & legs.
paola & mom at New World Park
hideaki san, paola san & mom at Botanical Gardenour Tambun dinner bill came to RM90. asked how much it will cost if we ate all those seafood in Japan. its about RM300 counted by them.

I LOVE PENANG!!!!

25.8.08 performance

it was suppose to be a 2.9 performance but suddenly receive a request to perform on 25.8 for an impromtu meeting.after having a quick decision making mtg with all SC, we decided to take it. headaches came on sat morning where SC has to decide whether to take the risk to play 2 songs or change 1 gakkai song or just 1 song??? at last we decided to remain 2 songs (And The Fire Raged & 1st Suite in Eb) but after the Sat evening extra practice, ah pa found out that we are not ready to perform 2 songs. so made the decision to stick to 'And The Fire Raged' only as juniors will be joining us.
Sunday morning we had a thorough training to polish our song for the last time.

2 b continue .....


thx Mr Koe for your golden advice! we will work harder!

anticipating

just called oppa this morning.
oppa said he has sent my documents to the university & they are going through my application. it would take longer time to screen through as there has not been a Malaysian applying before. mostly Japanese & Chinese(China).

i should be getting the call either from oppa or university by tomorrow or day after. i must chant more. nothing else can help me. i still can't exert myself to chanting long hours with full determination. i have so far done 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day, but i know that is not enough. serene & victor can do it, why can't I? must also show actual proof of gohonzon. must make my family, yb & gakkai proud.
Korea has always been a land where nobody wishes to go. even my teacher discourage us to go because it is so difficult to survive there. he loves M'sia so much & many Koreans are coming here. smiling in my heart, i said to myself ..... hehehe ...... good! then my opportunity 2 make full use of my Korean, contributing to the society in M'sia will definitely be there.

something happened last few days. i gotta cope with it! must overcome it with full of wisdom & open heart; as the WLS(Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra) says the purity of our 6 senses. purity of heart.
BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!!
