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…

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…

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.

Being an agent in the sales industry, we have to meet the sales quota directed by the company.One of my colleagues was pessismistic about reaching the target.I urged him not to give up and to believe in his potential to succeed. This advice motivated him to accomplish his goal.

I went 3 days to a punk music festival last holidays. At the beginning of the 2nd day, one of my friends broke his glasses. But with it, he couldn’t see anything…So I gave him mine until he had bought a new pair.

On Friday morning, on my way over to my part-time job, the sunflower plants at the farmers market were 5 euro for 2, or 6 euro for 3. So I just got 3, even though I only have space for one at home and another one at the office. I’d find a destination for number 3 somehow. On Friday night, I left the 3rd one on my office desk for the weekend, asking my co-worker S. who would be in to water it every once in a while. When I came in on a very gloomy Monday morning, after a weekend of torrential rains, there it was, in all its…
