Time to renew our vow. Time to start afresh.
School's over and it's time for all of us to move on to our greater mission in life, wherever that is. Kinda disappointed by myself. I'm surprised and ashamed I have no concrete plans.
After the recent chalet, (Junwei's 21st) I really pondered hard about it. Where do I go from here? Rochelle and Yingting are working hard to try out different routes. (be it job interviews or university applications) Christine's got a job. The guys are waiting for NS. Some of the girls are already hard at work. Where am I? What have I been doing? Only I know better.
Fortunately, SYM (SSA Youth Musical) and YOG (Youth Olympic Games Opening Ceremony item) came timely. Every comrade is striving hard towards a common goal. To create value in their lives and others. And I don't wanna be just a spectator. Thanks to every single one who has been encouraging me thru showing actual proof in your lives. :)
My Comrades. My 'Pork Soup'.Watched 4 musicals in a single weekend and I try so hard to engrave every line, every word in my heart. As if Toda Sensei and Ikeda Sensei are speaking to me personally, entrusting the mission for kosen-rufu (happiness for all people) to me.
To Vanessa, I'm really indebted to you. After writing and recording New Dawn, thanks for writing such an inspiring theme song for SYM too. It has been a huge source of motivation to me and I'm sure, to many many others too. And the songs written by the music team for the musical are really encouraging. Hope the OST and DVD will be out soon..
To all the cast (mandarin and english) and the stage crew, logistics, costumes, props, makeup and admin...thanks for all the efforts!
After watching the audience laugh at the love confession scene, cry when we can relate to the experiences of the SGI leaders and the mentor and disciple spirit of Toda & Shin'ichi..every single effort put into the musical has been paid off. You've accumulated good fortune for yourselves, infuse joy and hope in the lives of all and shown the greatness of Soka's M&D spirit by your own actions!! :D
YOG. At first, I grabbed this opportunity to join, plainly for the fun of a cultural performance. Then, at the first audition, the youth coordinator shared with us our mission for this item. As one of the opening acts for such a grand-scale event, we will be watched closely by all international media. Which means our families, friends and comrades around the world will be watching it. It also means my beloved mentor will be watching us too. I want to be his pride. We will do our best, Sensei!
Our item's Playing Fire. The core SSA group is made up of hundreds of upper primary, secondary to tertiary students holding fish props. It's really no easy feat carrying the fish poles, especially the younger kids. Besides moving into their formations, they have to depict a beautiful school of carefree fishes - gentle, yet vibrant. Another hundred of us are going to take up another form of challenge, fire. At the last training, professional trainers came and show us an awesome display of fire props - fire poi; fire staff and fire fan!! I can't wait for the next training!! :D
Yea...Action. I need to take some concrete action for my life, with a fully laid-out plan.

NEED MORE DAIMOKU!!
