So this is it.

After like 5 years of anticipation, I am finally flying off to Japan for Tozan.

WOOHOO!

Words fail me to describe the feeling i have right now. The sense of excitement, joy, anticipation, anxiety. Wow. I am like one big pot of mixed feelings.

This Tozan is significantly different from the Youth Tozan 5 years back. There is a sense of seriousness in it. Unlike Youth Tozan whereby the whole group is a bunch of young and restless brats whose main objective is to have fun, this Tozan has members from all walks of life whose main objective is to repay debts of gratitude and join in the commemoration of a significant event.

I guess the air of sincerity is heavier this time.

But to me, the joy of being able to step into Taiekiji is enough. I am sure many other members echo that too.

However, before i can experience any joy, i got to overcome one big hurdle in front of me.

I have not finished packing yet.

And i have less than 24 hours to do that.

AARGH!
