家家有本难念的经
For the benefit of those whose Chinese ain’t that good, you ought to be ashamed of yourself!! Haha because nobody’s Mandarin is supposed to be worse than mine! But for the benefit of those whose Mandarin is really worse than mine…. let’s have a moment of silence for our dear brother and/or sister hahaha ok kidding. It means “every family has their own problems.” And rightly so, it is a proverb for a very good reason.
Why am I becoming such a Cheena-piangster? I absolutely have no idea. But the past few days have been good to me. So maybe I just wanted to use some brain cells and show off, can?? Anyway, Momma has to go for an operation tomorrow and it partially worries me. My wrist and thumb has been feeling dislocated the past few days, and I am annoyed with myself for being such a handicapped-useless-fatty-blob. I still remain unemployed with no motivation or drive to search for a job.
But the worst thing that must have happened to me this week: Getting “cheated” into attending some stupiak multi-level marketed travel thing at YMCA by a church lady. Fark sia. I have lost all hope in Catholics these days. I am actually really annoyed now because I took the time and effort to clear my schedule to meet this lady, thinking it was going to be something important as she is the Chairperson of the EXCO at my parish. And when I saw the queue snaking outside YMCA, I knew something was definitely amiss. I could not even find that apparent “friend” who invited me to this weird event. Praise God and the Holy Spirit for helping me to open my eyes and see what a wicked + warped event it was! (Also thankful that YMCA had those television screens stating the day’s events at which level or room)
So I took my departure before it started. I felt empowered. Yet, I also feel a huge sense of rage and disappointment. It is gross for a Church lady to use such scheming tactics and not inform me, despite my constant probing. Utterly disgusting. If people leave the Church, to be honest, can we blame them???? Are we honestly living out such Sainthood lives that non-believers would see God? Or are we merely making use of one another for our selfish gains?
Seriously, this world is a sickening place. And as much as I have said this a couple of times before, even as I try to be the change I want to see, I sincerely don’t see it happening with everyone else. WHY.
- Why can’t this world just have a little more integrity, humility, kindness and affection?????
- Why can’t this world stop being so obsessed about sex, drugs and money??
- Why are people still trafficking HUMANS?!
- Why did that blardy South Korean travel to Huizhou despite knowing he had been in contact with a MERS carrier???
- Why can’t MH370 be found up till today? Conspiracy much?
- Why would anyone want to harm my home, Singapore?
Reading the news these days is so depressing. And to think we have progressed into a new high tech era.
No, really. We are all still stuck in an era where WWI & WWII existed. We are all still stuck in the era when Cesar tried to build the Holy Roman Empire. We are all still stuck in the era where our selfish desires overthrow our empathy towards others.
How then, can we declare that we are a generation of forward looking future leaders, when we are all stuck in the past?
Yours Sincerely,
Grossed out
