heeheehe....
1st let mi share something which impact mi alot...
rem i said tiew leng came to home visit mi?
she did asked mi did i consult anyone b4 i made d choice to come to east london...
i told her NO!!!
but... now i know WHY I M IN EAST LONDON!!!
i am so touched when i heard this from my assistant district leader here...
she told mi when she home visited mi d following week...
she said that when Sensei was here in UK... he went to Queensmary University to give a speech and donated some books to the University... n also a plaugue (did i spell it correctly?=p) was presented to the University....
n Sensei said in his speech that...
EAST LONDON WILL BE WHERE PEACE WILL SPREAD!!!
when i heard this... my tears almost dropped!!!
it really made mi realise my mission here in EAST LONDON!!!
though i did not consult anyone b4 im here...
but i CHANTED for MY MISSION to be in UK!!!!
so now i know deeply understand why i m in EAST LONDON!!!
seriously speaking... after tiew leng asked mi tt qn... i really pondered over it and chanted for it....
n finally i got myself an answer!!!
HOW MYSTICAL IS THE LAW!!!!!
it made mi realised again... when u r in rhythm with the Universe... everything will go in ur direction!!!
SO... BASED URSELF ON D MYSTIC LAW!!! U WILL DEFINITELY GO ON THE RIGHT PATH!!!
now i am 'fan-ing' my er-jie to buy more CHOOSE LIFE and LIGHT OF EDUCATION for mi... so that i can donate to MY university to let them know abt SENSEI!!!
i duno how m i going to do it... but I AM GOING TO DO IT!!!
i oso emailed SGI-JAPAN n they replied me that NO UK institutions has conferred Honorary Doctorate to Sensei before!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN U BELIEVE IT????
n SGI-Japan told mi it going to be a tough road ahead of mi!!!
I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP MY RESOLUTION!!!
i will fight to the end to convince my university to confer one to Sensei when i finished my studies in UK!!!!
i duno how i m going to do it... but I AM GOING TO DO IT!!!
im now chanting for the right person so that i could share more of Sensei's works with him/her... so that they can promote Sensei to my university...
not going to be easy... but I WANT TO TAKE UP THE CHALLENGE!!!
so... 2008 is going to b another tough year ahead!!! JIA YOUs!!!
I AM SO HAPPY!!!
I WAS ABLE TO DO D 1ST NEW YEAR GONGYO WITH MY FAMILY... TOGETHER LEH!!!! via MSN video call.... (of coz singapore time!!!)

i oso got myself a tix to TAPLOW COURT again for the NEW YEAR GONGYO!!!

i juz go get d tix without thinking how m i going to travel there... bec itz expensive to travel there...
then in d end... REALI GOOD FORTUNE!!!!
someone is going to DRIVE MI THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!
n initially d place she said she's going to meet mi is not a place im familiar with n itz quite far from my place... so i cont chanting so that i will get to d place she is saying...

hmm... for my studies...
OH!!
heehee...
sometimes still get lazy to do my assignment...
heehee....
can spend d whole dae doing nothing...
heehee...
but i will find myself reading sensei's guidances or on ssa website to watch GD guidances...
heehee...
MISSED GD SO MUCH!!!
heeheee....
but honestly speaking...
im feeling easy studying!!!
NO STRESS!!!
NOT FEELING PRESSING OF TIME n so on...
juz enjoying...
heehee...
(guess wat?
my garlic bread got BURNT!!!)
hmm... nw got to do all d washings myself...
like dishes... clothes... (ALL HAND WASHED!)
got to go marketing...
think of wat to eat daily...
got to cook myself...
got to handle everything myself...
to be frank... I M ENJOYING ALL THESE THINGS!!!
heehee...
all in all...
i feel myself sort of enjoying my life nw...
heheehee
I PERSONALLY FEEL WHY M I FEELING THIS WAY IS BECAUSE OF MY DAIMOKU N MY FAMILY'S DAIMOKU... N THOSE OF U WHO CHANTED FOR MI!!!
N SENSEI'S GUIDANCE MOST IMPTLY!!!
i feel that I AM ALWAYS IN VERY HIGH LIFE COBDITION...
i feel tt because i know my MISSION for being here...
tts y everything seems to be going on smoothly...
i deeply know Y I M HERE!
MY MISSION HERE!!!
likewise for u guyz who r studying...
where is there to b stress?
if u reali know y r u studying...
understand d deep meaning for education...
think u will b able to enjoy d whole process!
rather than stressing to do assignments or presentation...
for those who r working...
if u understand y u r in a particular company...
undestand d meaning of work...
(of coz not just for $$)
think ur working life will oso be a good experience... NO MATTER WHERE U R!
so everything voice down to having HIGH LIFE CONDITION!!!
in order to have this... DAIMOKU!!!
im so happy tt i have been hearing good news from my family...
heehee...
im oso very happy tt i am still able to encourage ywds n ppl who r in sg...
LEARN HOW TO APPRECIATE THINGS HAPPENING AROUND U!!!
things dun juz happen for NO REASON!!!
when u understand tt everything happened for a reason... (which is to make u a better u)
ur life will be much better...
dialogue... to understand others...
n learn from their strong points...
all in all... ITZ HUMAN REVOLUTION!!!
i got a flatmate who is a 'PRINCESS' (ttz wat she called herself)
always complaining!!!
n she hopes to marry a celebrity to have GOOD LIFE!!!
she is a muslim... though she's from south africa...
she got cheuffer to drive her to anywhere when she is home...
so imagine... HW GOOD HER LIFE IS!
so now i m trying to make her realise n appreciate everything tt she is having!
everyime i see her... she will b complaining everything ttz happening!!!
even staying here in campus she is complaining tt ITZ SO FAR TO GO FOR HER LESSONS!!! when itz oni 15mins WALK!!!
n i told her i need ONE AND A HALF HOUR to go to my school!
so wat is there to complain??
n she was like... quiet?
hope she is reflecting...
so... more to do for this girl...
ok... going to chant together with my family le....
TAKE CARE!!!
cheers...

i feel everything is happening so quickly, alomost IMMEDIATELY, is nt bec itz magic!
itz because of my daily prayers that I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO UK KR!
I WANT TO HELP SENSEI IN WHATEVER WAYS I CAN FOR SGI-UK!
ttz y when i started chanting for d members here...
my prayers got ANSWERED!
like what Jasmine says... BASE EVERYTHING ON DAIMOKU!!!
MY COURSE WORK!!!
something related to the course i m doing now...
juz to refresh...
i m doing PLAYWORK & YOUTH STUDIES in University of East London...
ok... GOT IT?
i was sharing with my mei mei on msn on 10oct when she feels that what i am going to share later... is VICTORIES REPORT!!!
so here i m... typing eagerly to share with u guyz...
MY VICTORIES REPORTS!!!
ok... let's start on my fieldwork visits...
ok... so actuali i nid to call n go to playgrounds or play centres in UK... by myself!!!
so after doing 6visits... i nid to choose 1 place which i liked BEST and go work with them for 300hours!!!
n my tutor said that when we call, we NEED NOT mention that we r going to look for place to work... just tell them that we r going there to visit...
bec if we say that we r going to work with them... some centres might nt welcome d idea... n will nt allow us to go visit their centre...
so... mi followed wat my tutor said and call or email them to arrange for visits...
so i went to 2places on Sat, 6oct...
1 to Toyhouse Libraries... d other is Glamis Adventure Playground...
BOTH CENTRE GOT VERY VERY NICE PEOPLE ARD!!!!!!
when i was at toyhouse libraries... d manager of d centre brought mi ard n introduced mi to d place n ppl running d centre...
tis centre tt i went is for special needs children...
and it happened to be run by a girl from d SAME COURSE AS MI...
and she is my tutor classmate!!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????
to cut d story short...
at d end of the whole trip... d manager told mi that...
IF I WANT TO WORK WITH THEM FOR MY PLACEMENT, CAN ALWAYS CONTACT HER!!!
she can arrange for mi to work there...
THIS IS NOT FROM MI! ITZ FROM D MANAGER... (rem i said my tutor said we need nt mention abt this????????????)
ok... den i went to d other playground...
VERY NICE n ADVENTUROUS playground!!!!
d senior playworker brought mi ard n i have to climb all the hurdles... (d next dae my legs were aching!!!)
she share alot of things with mi...
n to cut d story short again...
she told mi...
IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE TO WORK... WE WILL B MORE THAN HAPPY!!!
(rem wat i juz said again... my tutor said tt we no nid to mention anything on this...)
so this end my 2visits to UK PLAYGROUND!!!
GREAT EXPERIENCES!!!
IMPT!!!
before i got d courage to call n email to arrange these visits...
i chanted to Gohonzon that I must find a place MOST SUITABLE for mi... and i CAN learn AS MUCH AS POSSBILE!
ok... den i sent out emails...
but NO REPLIES AT ALL!!!
mi nt disheartened... mi cont to put into prayers...
while i was chanting...
THE FIRST PLAY CENTRE RESPONDED to MI!!!
TOYHOUSE LIBRARIES!!!
bec i reali wanted to go to Glamis... as itz an award winning playground... WHILE I WAS CHANTING... i suddenly thot of another way to email them...
thru their website... which i got difficulty previously...
but tis time round... i got NO PROBLEM!!!
after i sent... IN LESS THAN A MINUTE... d person in charge REPLIED!!!
and we arranged to meet up too!!!
therefore, i was able to make 2visits on 6OCT!!!
PRAYERS!!!
