Met up with Mickey for lunch yesterday at Marco Polo Restaurant, located near where I worked If you didn't know.. I work for the World's Most Respected Service Brand - American Express, and its KL office is located in Menara Weld, Jalan Raja Chulan). I never knew that her office was like a 10 minute walk away. Anyway, it was good to be able to catch-up with a friend after such a long time. BTW, she's a part time model!
So, pretty much everyone comes up with a new year resolution, every year. But do we actually strive towards achieving it, or is it just for the sake of coming up with a resolution. I know, for the past 24 years of my life, I've never really had a "New Year Resolution". But this year, I am came up with one. Odd? I'd like to think of it as destiny's call. Ha ha ha. My resolution for 2010 is to 'focus on more philanthropic activities'. Why? Because there are a lot of people in this World who need help, but there's just too few people offering it. I hope to make a positive difference to other people's life. That's the least I can do, after all the blessings that I've received in this wonderful life.
Although it is hard to truly understand Buddhism, if we try diligently, we will do so and thus receive the benefits. However, if we merely study Buddhism, we will miss this rarest of opportunities. ~ Venerable Master Chin Kung
