Port Dickson

14th and 15th of October marked our academy R's entry into a new stage of improvement within the organizing committee and most importantly the empowerment of our faith in Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism. It was a marvelous trip, it is the only word that could be used to describe it.

I was one of the committee members and process of organizing this trip is not easy. This trip was not the first attempt of our committee members, we struggled and fought for our rights to organize a trip within our academy with purpose to strengthen the bonds between our young and youthful members of student division. However, so much that we have done, yet it does not suffice to convince the leaders above us to allow us for any trip. Mainly because they do not want to bear the responsibilities of our actions and the name of SGM to bear on any unwanted accidents.

Well, we, the committee members like us just couldn't get rid of our stubbornness in organizing a trip. We just wanted a trip so badly. So we prayed to Gohonzon in the approval and pray for several aims:

- The trip must be approved.
- The trip must be a great success, good weather and no accidents is allowed.
- The trip must be able to create and strengthen the bonds within us.

I have not done much about it but I am glad and gleeful to say that, I finally see the hope of academy R. Everything went perfectly well and even the weather was in favor of us.

During the trip, we played a game of "The Master and Angel". It was such a coincidence that I was a angel of a PIC named Kelvin and I had a angel with a name of Kelvin as well, who was also one of the PICs. Which means, I have shown apparent caring towards one of the Kelvins and another Kelvin had taken good care of me. So funny aight ?! = )

Due to some emergency matters, I was one of the drivers, only girl who drove. I knew it like few hours before the departure, gila sial can! I wasn't driving my own car neither, was stressful yet uncomfortable. But for the sake of the success of this trip, it was all worth.

Love you people. May the force be with everyone of us to strive for a better tomorrow. The past is not important anyway, everyone has a different version of it, stay strong buddies !
