...Religion Change...

I was reading an article from Straitstimes the other day...
talking about switching religion...
hmmm i was wondering...
why does the other religion forbits their followers to hold joss sticks of buddhism and taoism?
one of my cousin brother, converted to a christian just a few years ago...
he was previously a taoism follower, together with his family.. then he converted to christianity...

i mean, personally, i'm ok with him converting... cos it's his wish...
i just often wonder why they wanna change/convert...

hmmm i was born a buddhist, had not much wishes or desire to convert to another religion whatsoever...
i mean, probably earlier on maybe a slight desire to convert.. but after which, it die off... haha

i had christian friends preaching to me...
kept asking me to join them in their church events, prayers session, etc...
i kinda dislike that...
cos i'll only go when i feel like it or when i really have the interest in it...
and i really do not like the fact that they keep saying the God will give you food or something...
and whatever you do, it is actually God who helps you...
i mean.. no offence again... i really still cannot bring myself to believe this yet...
maybe in the future but most certainly not now...

no offence to my now-christian friends, in fact 2 of my close friends are christians... but then again
when we're together, we do not talk about our religions...
there is no point to spoil a friendship just because of the religion...

i respect mine and i also respect theirs...
most certainly i hope they respect my wishes in staying as a buddhist...
i enjoy the beliefs of my religion, in fact i kinda like the theory of it... and yes, Buddhism does have a theory of its own...
Christians have their Bible, Muslims have their Koran...
and we have our scriptures...

*ahem* not that i read all of it.. there's a huge collection of the scriptures...
my brother had the JIN GANG JIN placed beside his bed...
me on the other hand, prefers to read books based on the teachings and beliefs of Buddhism...

（′∀｀）

i also hope to hold joss sticks and pray to my ancestors... and hope to bring my future kids to pray to them as well...
you can call me stubborn... but it's each to its own isn't it?

Singapore's founding father and first  Prime Minister had passed away peacefully today at 3.18am in Singapore General Hospital. It's hard to believe that he had passed away. Most of us Singaporeans had hoped he would recover and join in the celebrations of SG50 during this year's NDP. His passing is the loss to Singapore. Without him, I believe Singapore may still be a third world country, struggling to be a second world country or maybe we had just started on our journey as a second world country. He spent his life contributing to Singapore, made our country the way it is now. Singapore is now a well known first world country, with boasting economy, striving population because of him. Yes, we may have a lot of foreign talents here now, but hey, Singapore is made up of multi races to begin with. But yes, as much as I am also not too happy that we're a bit over populated now, but we're at least well fed, have a roof to stay, go to school, have a job for majori...

I don't post as many as I used to be. Perhaps, is because I am lazy, or maybe is because I do not know what to share.  I enter a different age group today.  I am still Single but I am happy.  Who says you need a better half to be alive? If fate comes knocking on my door, I'll accept it, if it doesn't, I'm cool. I mean life needs to goes on right? I should be graduating this year! #prayingdamnhard My dog has left me for 2 years plus, this year marks 3rd.  We thought of having one more dog but it's hard finding the one that you know is the one.  Why? Because no one can replace this lovable boy.  Work has been crazy, since when it's not right?! Promotion may or may not comes, I don't think I have much say on this.  Sigh... is it time to move on? Sometimes I feel it is, sometimes, the lazy bone pulls me. We'll see.  OK. Bye.
