hope you did. i know 1 call isnt much, but if 1 out of every 4 singaporeans called ONCE, there would have been a million calls... ok so i was 1 of those who withdrew my monthly donation to NK*. i did that once i knew of the 600k "peanut" issue. since so little of my $$ goes to the patients and most of it to 1st class airline tix and gold taps, why bother. i rather reserve my $$ for events like today's. yeah i was really touched when Venerable Min Yi broke down... really admire his courage and strength in each year's show... trust me, the 66 storey crossing REALLY requires guts and determination.
well ok detractors will question how much of the $$$ goes to the patients... but i trust a Buddhist mission, well definitely much more than a company with a greedy CEO and board of directors... the charity environment has really been affected by the NK* saga... wasnt surprised Ren Ci din meet their target of 600k calls. well 488k is at least closer than the amount at 8.30pm. luckily the numbers shot up thereafter...
hmmm congrats to Ren Ci for hitting their target of $5 million. not too bad afterall. hope i can contribute more when i really start earning $$$. anyway im not a particularly devout Buddhist but i recognise it as my religion. and i dun eat beef anymore. quite a long time since... hmmm no harm being more devout yeah? but i cant be a total vegetarian... thats quite unthinkable for me now... ok talk later. tata
