Finally after so long I start to blog again... this holiday almost ending and I find it very useful for me as I have learn a lot of things.

1.How to treat people well?
2.How to become a better person by saying sorry, thank you, welcome and other good manners stuff.
3.How to be a great leader.
4.How to get things start a new day of life and
5.How to end a day happily.

All this things are learn from my ICs and other people in my association and my friends...
During this holiday there are a couple of things happening...

Like the following:
1. Volleyball camp
2. Flint chalet
3. Exchange SSA with SGM
4. Hiking with the chief from Macritchie to Bukit Timah hill top.
5. Eileen’s wedding
All this things are learn from the ICs and friends in all sort of level. I really need to thanks to them giving me a chance to change over me and making me a great leader.

(1) During the volleyball camp, I learn one thing: that is everybody must have the teamwork in order to finish the task. The chalet there is a part where everyone will be spilt in to groups and we are going to play amazing race. This is the 1 time I play amazing race that I need to go and take a bus to reach the venue. Most of the time we play in particular place and the game will end very quickly. From the game I have learnt how to care about group members. When someone is wrong as group members or group leaders we can’t blame them instead we teach them not to repeat the same mistake this is what I learnt from the camp.
During this holiday, Everything I join or I participated in I will sure learn something from it. So I am very happy what I joined even thought I joined a lot of things until my mum scolded me but I very happy to learn a lot of things and I can reflect myself.

(2) Just after my volleyball camp, just the next day I have my flint chalet and this chalet is the first time I being an organiser. Being an organiser is not so easy you must know when to have the game and where to have it. This is a great challenge for me to know all the people’s character at the same time so that I won’t offence anyone when playing the game.

During this chalet there are a lot of things happening. One of them is my problem. This problem always can’t solve in me since I am born. That is when my friend go with other friend I will get jealous but I won’t do anything to hurt that person neither my friend. And that person a lot of people know is Dillon.
He is the only friend I won’t hate. In this chalet really I learnt a lot of things from him and I know him much deeper. He is really.... some sort of guys. I won’t say anything out...
But from this chalet, I have learnt a lot of things not in Buddhism neither in friendship or other things... but something we need to learn that is helping each other even thought that person is not close to you.

(3) The exchange with SSA and SGM this is one of thing, this holiday I am looking forward to. In here, I and not only I learn a lot of things like my ICs and other flint students learn a lot of things. But I think I learn the most.

Just now I told you I jealous when my friend get to another person. From this trip I learn how to deal with this problem. When your friends get away from you there is a reason behind it. During the trip someone (I am not going to say that person). First day, he was very close to me then after that he kept me from a distance and go with another friend I know. From here, I learnt that when this kind of situation the only solution is to change your prayer and pray hard to the Gohonzon when you are chanting.

This trip can say that we learnt that their spirit of theirs really touches us. And how they treat us with the kindness really want to make us cry in front of them. When we left we are so sad and still want to stay over for 1 more night but next day everyone still needs to go back to school or go to work. So there is no choice but to go back to Singapore.

(4) The second last thing I did in this holiday was going to hiking with Ghee Han our FD chief. I thought this hiking will have a lot of people taking part but on that day just 4 person including Ghee Han turn up for that event so quite shocking. This hiking really let me know more about Ghee Han and Sam.


(5) The last activity I joined this year was this. I can said that a lot of roles in Soka I have played before only this for so long I want to open today come true. It is to open the bustdan. I always enjoyed people opening and closing the bustdan but I want to try to open it. It is very fun and interesting to open when people are chatting to open their Buddha world. This is my very great fortune to do that.
So I told you all my holiday is very interesting and packed with a lot of happy and sad things as days go by. And everything I learnt from all the activities I learnt from there I will make use of them and my starting chapter of my life that is 2008 and merry Christmas everyone.
Hope to have a wonderful year in 2008
