A compromise we should have in music

Music is promised to be a gift from heaven, that eases and relaxs the heart of man to enjoy melody that makes life magnificent an enchanting serenade. I believed most of us enjoy music, and some of us may even cry to God that music will continue to be bestowed upon our humble Earth. Well, I understand that music is an integral blessing of a commoner's man life. Music is understood to be a remedy to the soul, and truely also a fountain of joy to the heart.

Today's Earth is a myriad of music, fusion of good and kindness, as well as some unacceptable non-mainstream selection. I believe our choice of music does makes a man understand his personality, and for this, I hope that as money and energy is an essential part to create new music, I feel, based on our resource limited Earth, we should only attribute good music array to our Earth. This wisely guard the heart of man. Therefore, I feel all of us, citizen of this globalised world, have a role to play to make Earth the pristine jewel of nature we knew is possible in altruistic contribution. A compromise we should have in the musical field, is to create tunes that are truely healing and inspiration to us, and keep the respect and goodness in the meaning and feel of the lyrics and even in the melody for the musically attuned ear, as well as wrap up each masterpiece song in a seamless grace, for each component needs to pass the quality test for a human creation to be truly reverential.

At our current situation, we can only pray to God every day, for good music to be allocated by God's responsible musicians, for the rest of humanity. I have a few tunes that I love, like Elton John's ballad, Celine Dion's divine inspiration, Josh Grosban's love tunes and Jacky Cheung's blessing. I hope budding musicians and composers who heed the wish of good music, is ready to grace the world with faithful songs of love.

Longevity is a wise choice

Man have five accolades to garner for, being health, talent, wealth, respect and power. These five pinnacle of success place man on a benchmark of measurement, which are worthwhile qualities to refine and acquire in a lifetime of development.

God in heaven, being the honourable father of love, gave me a heavenly message in a moment where the understanding of life's beautiful reality comes into play. That was truly a casual moment for me, though I understood the magnitude of that message for a humble commoner like me. God through the Muslim Ulama mentioned to me through aerial broadcast, "If you chose to play your guitar everyday of your life, you may live up to 90." My mother, dearer to my heart mentioned, "Embrace Warren Buffet ideology, which is to love oneself and refine one's being as the goal of life." I chose longevity in health, talent and a proportion of wealth. Humble Brian understand his Karma here, that if I show love everyday, do good every day, be calm and respectful everyday, cherish life everyday, I may live to my good ninety. For me, being ninety is my ideal and worthwhile longevity. I knew being 90 is enough for me. For Brian, a man learning to steady his path of peace and respect, learning to live gracefully, blissfully, joyously, humbly and earnestly in God's holy grace. To me, longevity and the enjoyment of life as a commoner is a life aspiration, for God has told me that I should choose my health, refine my humanistic, scientific and business talent, and learn the art of wealth. Well, talent, service, love, respect for the elderly, character development and good lifestyle are the recipe for a good, healthy and long life. I understand the art of living as loving family holistically, service society in the name of the greater good, do charity regularly, and pray to God lovingly and altruistic are the joys of life. Wealth is a artistic barometer here, for the true man love God and man, money is just a tool for charity and life. Invest a good proportion of your money into family needs, especially your childen. Live modestly like the monks, priest and pastors of the various religion, and give the rest to causes like the needy, humanitarian causes, charity drives, religion organisation and peaceful and clean science. The cycle of blessing should come around and the money should be distributed like honey in a nectarine according to meritoracy and needs.

For a business man dream, a good altruism is to keep the quality of service bright and cheerful, and be faithful to your family, especially parents, wife, children, and most importantly, love God. On a personal note, love nature, developing a love of animals, embracing vegetarianism, loving your parents dearly, developing a sweet, pleasant, humble, faithful and humble quality promotes the grace of life. I wish you success.

The passing on of a cherished grandmother

A compassionate month of soulful adherence to my aging grandmother proved to be a process of a swansong good bye, for my Ema bowed down to God and passed on from this world in a graceful and dignified manner, through the joyous acceptance of exacerbated sleep. I knew from this fact that my Ema accept her fate peacefully, in the enlightenment of an afterlife with our loved family. In my last meeting with Ema, I felt the accepting heart of a person with a naturally radiance of motherly smile. I understood she embraced life beautifully and endearingly. For this, her life, a modest 79 is like the refinement of a diamond, with a faith in Kwan Yin, sturdy and truthful, and a jewel that will passed on to the next life. For this, I have joy. I understood in God's eternity, there is a room in my heart for Ema, and we may be closely related again by heritage one fine day.

While my Ema has breathed in the resting heaven, the Earth move on perfectly well, uplifting my griefing soul, and from this, I feel the love of God, who is eternal in nature and stature. Well, I thought of Ema, who is safely in Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, and I feel a comforting condolence in every goods that faithfully suit the cherished soul of my Ema when I go shopping with my mother. Her lasting words in my heart, is one of my favourite life motto, "live peacefully with good works".

Home is a place for rest

After spending a meaningful and compassionate time in Indonesia, nursing my grandmother, understanding that love cures, but the process is still arduous when we want to claim the peace called health. Well, I came home, feeling like a man, who tasted both salt and suger, in a place where my dearest Ema calls home. Indeed, the truth of life is that a fairy tale life does end, though we can always relive the life of hope and promise, and rekindle the candle of life. My grandmother survived, albeit better with my humble support, and I can feel the soft hope that is true strength in her eyes, that she wants to live on, to witness a lifetime miraculous wish, that my father can eventually have a business that is favourable and good both to family and society. In my heart, I hope she can succeed. At the same time, if my Ema can live two more years, I promise from the bottom of my heart that I can bring home the respectful classification of a first class honours degree to enliven the great love my Ema has for my education and life success. Inspirationally, a tender motherly heart belongs to my Ema, a woman of faith and care.

As I took the flight of Lufthansa from Indonesia to Singapore, I felt the grace that is in my Ema for me. In Singapore, I knew, the value of life in a family, that we must constantly shower love for a flower to blossom even if the soil that we are blessfully provided with, is fertile. I understand my love for Ema have to continue on, like a candlewax, that continues to fuel the holy fire of life. The passion for life, akin to a blessitude of pristine water, is the elixir that support life. The supportive environment, like the water, supports the body, while the holy fire fuels the heart. A gentle heart-felt connection, from me to you, that is the gentlenes and the liveliness of a fire of peace and light that radiates the colour of love. This careful balance of fire with supplementation of water nurtures a rose. I understood my Ema is a liver, and will live well again and again. She is a good person.

Home, Singapore, is a place for friendly citizen to respect each other compassionate for the faith that is in the light. This infirmy of brotherhood will be a torch of hope and passion that extends shelter and support to each other. Thank God for Singapore. When I reached home, I feel the grace of my mother, and the love of the nation for one of its citizen on me, a common grace accorded to a commoner who humbly just wants to live in light. I went home, felt my German Shepherd and the cosy terrace house, and knew this is well enough for me, with comfort and peace.
