4 hours and 30 minutes!

Dearest,

Same brekkie routine, and today I would not be late to Katrina place. I forgotten where is the entrance and I walked around like silly girl both door twice.

And funnily, I could not press the level number. And the elevator went up, a girl enter and I asked her for assistance and I am getting confuse and confuse. I was out of first floor yesterday entrance. I tried to re-enter and I managed to press level 8 this time.

Confusing  moment passed, serious time has come. Before we started to chant, she shared another passage to encourage me =) I feel so warm in heart. Thank you so much Katrina! You are just as nice as Jamie! Appreciated so much being supported by you guys. She has not had her lunch yet but chanted an hour with me first.

Our objective to end at 6pm today as I don't mind anytime. During 4pm I am getting hungry and I could not concentrate very much. I was invited to eat croissant before but I wasn't hungry at that time but I feel like having one for a short break. She made me coffee too to boost up my energy =) She asked if I play any sports, as she likes badminton but no kaki, so do I! We have common interest and religions. We should find a time and 2 more kaki to startup the activity.

After short break recharge energy, we continue our chanting to 6pm. I managed to end up with 4 hours and 30 minutes. Thats the highlight for today!

Katrina is going to buy some cups for tomorrow meeting use as there are nothing much at her place. She need honey too because our throat are very dry and slightly sore after long hour chanting. Also, she unable to found it at Woolworths.

I am leaving with a happy mood and we make appointment to do the same at next Saturday too! Sunday she's gonna do cleaning at VCC probably that is the only rest day for me next week to catch up more assignments.

XOXO

Amazing Saturday!

Dearest,

Woke up late at 10:30am because it is Saturday! Tired to get up early during weekdays.
Milk has expired and no quick oats for meal today. Going to finish the chocolate sponge rolls and my daily Nescafe energy intake! woohoo~

Finish last episode of 拳王 紧张时刻...

After finish watching, leaving home to station. Unfortunately, I missed the train I planned to catch. >.< The next train does not go loop and have to catch opposite train back to Southern Cross from Flinders. Boring weekend public transport!

Informed Katrina that I will be running a bit late and by the time I got there I almost lost in direction. I found out I was walking in the long way, through Etihad stadium on another exit from Southern Cross is much quicker. And the building has two entrance one at Level 1 on the main road, another at Level 4 gym and Etihad stadium area. So confusing. She has to come down and fetch me up. On the other hand, she's waiting her bro to grab stuffs. 

When we are about to start chanting is already 1:45pm. We are going to end chanting around 5pm. In total 3 hours and 32 minutes daimoku campaign accomplished for today! =D By the end, I was running out of voice. 

Katrina share short passage from the guidance book from Singapore. She is such a nice person. The place she's staying right now has beautiful view facing Dockland, it will be so beautiful when all lights on in the night. But it is costly too! $500 per week is not something you can afford without stable job. She sent me down when I leave to show me the way to Southern Cross at Level 4. 

I  had a missed called from parent on Skype in the afternoon around 2pm. There will be no electricity tomorrow for old klang road area therefore they called in advanced. We have been chatting for two and a half hour while having my Maggie dinner LoL

Me jeje called me while I was cooking maggie and cracking eggs lol. She told me to catch up with sis on Tuesday. Bro cannot make it thats okay. Hmm... Oh well, this make me harder because I find it so hard to talk to sis. Called her twice she's not picking up phone. Then she finalize to meet up and then I called bro, he confirmed to come as well which make it easier for me. So hard to communicate with them. Texted me jeje again and she wanted to be early as 6pm-6:30pm =/ Have to informed them again and re-confirmed with me jeje~ She told to ask us decide what to eat on that night. I can't wait to collect all my stuffs as I need them so much to recharge my mental. >.<"

Mom is so lovely and I always admire her abilities almost every perspective view. She is an amazing woman, housewife, mom that contribute and sacrificed a lot. 

Dad is always in a straight face scares me all the time. I realized that our conversation has become less and lesser. =( 

Tomorrow about the same time, I will be at Katrina place for chanting again. Lucia once wrote me an email - enjoy chanting as though you are singing the song of life and its potential!

Be blessed.

XOXO

Boring day

Dearest,

Nothing much happening today. I was suppose to go get my vacuum cleaner today but Immy 'put me in flight' situation and therefore no vacuum cleaner to be used yet! =.="

Just done an hour and 20 minutes chanting at VCC. Toshi and Kyoko-san leaving to Sydney tonight for conference so I must leave around 4.30pm-4.45pm.

XOXO

Chanting night @ Parkville

Dearest,

In the early morning, I texted Katrina wonder if she would join tonight chanting session at Mel place. She called me during Rocco class to confirm. And I texted Mel to confirm both of us will be there tonight so she's noticed. Friendly Mel invited to catch train at 6.25pm from Melbourne Central =p but I will be going from Footscray so it isn't that convenience for me to travel to city.

Had a rush day in the afternoon because I missed the tram to Maribyrnong after class finish.
Fortunately, I still manage to chant half an hour at VCC and then go home to finish the leftover pizza on Tuesday. Somehow, there is still some time for me to rest awhile before heading to station.

When I reached Flemington Bridge station, I met Katrina, we are actually on the same train. Never thought that Mel has already got home. Both me and Katrina were waiting inside the shelter to wait for Mel. There was a black guy grab my newspaper from my knee without asking. He is ridiculous rude! And I kept starring at him! The woman next to him take it over and hand it back to me but I rejected politely.

Never thought it would happened in this area. How unsafe! Sanshoshimasu for him =.=:

Turn on my GPS app on iPhone and start tracking the map to Mel place because we are first time here. Initially, I was in the wrong direction and have to U-turn. By the time we get there, we have to search the house number in the dark because the lights are so dim. >.<" Carl Suen is back after we got in not longer. Mel is so fortunate to stay with SGI members with Carl Suen, Dave. Met another member, Fiona. It is 7:10pm when we started chanting session. It was tiring but enjoyable an hour session.
In total, my accomplishment daimoku for today is one and a half hour =)

Katrina wants to leave after short catch up because it will be late for her to get back. I stayed with Fiona because Mel and Fiona gonna do buddy meeting for session 3 coming meeting on Monday night. Since I have never do it before, I am interested to do it with them. I have not read the passage yet because I don't own a copy of Indigo. Therefore Mel is gonna email me the PDF file. Thanks to her, I got to read it before Victor email me as usual before the meeting held at Epping.

Fiona know siblings and she told that both sis and me does look alike. Bro is no longer active in activities, no idea why. The only thing I could do is pray for his faith to back. She caught tram and I have to wait 17 minutes for train. Called parent on Skype to make sure I am safe and to catch up happening on both of our side.

Finally, train here. So busy to chat in Talkbox with Jack. Eventually made me missed getting down North Melbourne station and transfer train at Southern Cross. =/

By the time got home is about 10pm something.

XOXO

An unusual routine

Dearest,

Another minor happy news to everyone. I scored 18 out of 20 / 90 out of 100 percent for Charles class - Develop and Implement Strategic Plans assessment 2.

Why I titled as an unusual routine? Because I went to groceries shopping after finish an hour chanting at VCC today. I shop at the usual Vietnamese convenience store to get some maggies as I am running low of stock. I also bought a pack of Genmai tea and sardin tin from Ayam brand Malaysia. I cannot believe I still can't live without Malaysia food.

To simplify my dinner - Maggie will be a quick and easy solution. Eggs and steamboat meat is my best supplement to accompany with ms.Maggie XD

XOXO

$2 Pizza Hut

Dearest,

A new assignment has been assigned in George class. On the other hand, I have received the result for major and I scored 37 out of 40 percent. I must say that I am proud of myself to be successful in this difficulty time with all teacher support and encouragement.

This is my highlight for today.

After Tafe, I went to VCC and manage to did an hour chanting. On the way back, I collected Pizza Hut - BBQ Bacon Mia at Ballarat Rd. It is very troublesome to wait for tram and pizza turn cold but is cheap! =/ I bought a few voucher from Living Social deal $2. The most terrible thing is you can purchase up to three vouchers only! ARGH! Every pizza save you $3. $3 x 3 = $9 x RM3 = RM27! See the differences when you compared?

Roomie was at home while I back to apartment. She's received electric bill and bising bising the bill turn up so high when she seldom at home and I am the only one so it should not cost too much. Well, I was away to Perth for two weeks and her mom was staying together with her and probably cooking costing?! I have totally no idea. I am okay with the bill because is only about $45 per month. Last time when staying alone at Unisity with AGL it cost $50 per month without using washing machine at all! So I find that is ok with Neighbourhood Energy and it save 10% everytime you pay before due date.

Have a good chat with mom & dad on Skype while having pizza. Yum!

Because of this incident happened, Becky took 2 and half hours to get back home (saw the post on fb). Well, this is very brave because the person threatened to jump which makes my eye blink. I have to clap hands for this whoever not because proud of him/her to jump but the courage to make the crowds over the railway network and no news has been reported. I wish I have that courage to jump but I can't... so many responsibilities I have to deal with =/ I know it may sound depressed somehow I just tired of my daily routines. And I still have not realized my mission and value to accomplish in this world. Damiano commented on the feedback, "lee what? you crazy girl. Becky - don't say that lee it not the answer."

I put a hard smile expression on my face when I looked at it. I have a bunch of classmates that care for me. How can I disappoint everyone? Except him. HE would NOT care anymore. I am still undergoing challenge through daimoku! I believe my sis, I believe through Gohonzon and daimoku, I can tell anything I want to HIM. Jamie once told me, "Yes Gohonzon can reach him - also youtube like sending a meditation message to someone mind to mind"

I was told by Toshi, chanting Daimoku has to be consistently, when you chant the future of fortune is building the happiness road; but if you stop, there's no further road to move on and once will be stuck again.

So appreciate all the philosophy I heard and it will be in my mind. I wish there will be a chance for me one day to stand on VCC stage and share my experience and can't wait the day to receive Gohonzon in appreciation.

XOXO

Busy Monday

Dearest,

My busy Monday started after Daniel and I went to get my vacuum cleaner from K-mart. The stupid lid does not close tightly and therefore the lid could be lifted up when one finger =.="

We took it back for exchange and open up one ... follow by two... still the same. The whole batch of it are all like that =/ Depressed me without getting my things done! And my roomie vacuum cleaner has got something wrong and the suction is not good anymore. 

Got myself one duffle coat and knit dress with belt for coming winter season.

Lunch time has come, with no doubt, we went to Nhu Lan to grab Vietnamese rolls. As usual, I go for BBQ Chicken roll. It is cheap and tasty. It cost $3.80 only. Thanks to Kyra, my classmate who brought me there few times before. And I think I saw Johnson and I helped him on getting the plastic bag. =p

Going to attend chanting session @ Flagstaff Lynn's place tonight. Mom called me on Skype before heading out. It was a very good discussion with her about buddhism practice and everything. I am going to wear the lovely pink jacket given from 舅母. Somehow, I am so appreciate that I am a fortune baby and get to know this practice because at the meant time, it is my support, my energy to get myself back to a normal person in this critical hard time after all the incidents happened in the past two months. 

It is never easy to move on without relying on the power of Gohonzon support. Everytime I question myself in front of Gohonzon and I feel all the karma are blowing in front of me and therefore no complaint but chant to transform to good fortune and beneficial. Time will tell....?

So glad that met a few members at Lynn's meeting. And I get to know Mel that Lucia mentioned that she is going to start her own chanting session every Thursday at Parkville. Everyone have to introduced themselves in the meeting, I guess we are all new? When it is Katrina turn, I feel so touching because I have the exactly same feeling how hard time to cope in the difficulties. She's been chanting at kaikan everyday sometime back then where she's the only one there. It is exactly what I am doing for everyday now. I shared my first time, 5 hours chanting session held last Monday with Jamie and also joined Jacaranda to polish myself and my stubbornness attitude problem. 

Katrina invite me to go over her place for chanting whenever. I feel so glad that I am supported by YWD around me. Without them, I believe there is no way I can not stand till now.

My day ended with a good smile and tiredness.

XOXO
