Good Karma Music Stories

Today is the first day of my school holidays. As I am learning housekeeping, I help my mother to put in the mattress linings and mop the floor. I feel good because not only have I helped my mother do housework, the house is neater and less dirty. My family members can now walk around in the house on a cleaner floor. I am also happy that my mother praises and thank me for my help.

While at the water cooler to get my drinks today, 3 young girls from Singpapore Polytechnic suddenly came up to me and asked me if i wanted my laptop cleaned. I just stood there stunned for a moment until they continued to explain it is for a school project that they are doing where they are given $5 and with this $5, they are supposed to collect more money for some CLS Needy Fund. I thought it was quite interesting and invited them into my office and asked around if anyone wanted their laptop cleaned. In the end they managed to collect $6 altogether from my friend and I who had our laptops cleaned and another friend who volunteerily donated $2 when she heard of the cause!

My company management has been putting a lot of pressure on my friend & colleague. He wants to retire early, but at the same time, he could not bear to part with his salary. Today, he told me that he would resign afterall. I told him that it’s indeed a good thing to do. He could spend more time with his family & children. I see him brighten up and I am happy for him. We had tea chatting about life.

I simply spend my day staying at home, which i didn’t really do so in the past 2 months. I talk to my mother to let her know that I really care about her. I also sent my girlfriend home and hugged her. It’s just really happy today that I have done the right things. =)

Dear Master Heng Sure,I enjoyed your use of the song Amazing Grace in your melody to In Praise of The Buddha. The Amazing Grace touches my soul every time I listen to it. And I understand the melody came from African natives who sailed across the ocean to serve as slaves in America back in history, and the melody can be played using just 5 black notes. I can feel their anguish coming to an unknown land and yet, uncontrollable of their destinies. I love the melody, and I love the song whatever lyrics that may fill it. May the people of the world be blessed, and may freedom ring…Yours Sincerely,Frank Feng

Wake up early to take a cab to attend a charity marathon. Reached the front of the queue and manage to get into the cab alone. Seeing that there is another 3 person behind me waiting to go to the same destination, I just let them hitch a ride 🙂 Nothing really any great act of kindess I suppose.

I made it a point to only buy those packet tissues from the less fortunate on the streets I saw rather than buying from regular stores. Recently, I started a small fundraising project on my own hoping to raise fund to help the Villagers in Northern Thailand.
