Alvin was staring at that orangie string around my left wrist in awe. 'So, that is your traditional religion huh? i thought you are a christian! ' Gosh!! since when i got baptized? i don't even wear a cross. he was not the first one who think so. my name must have been quite misleading. I do have plans to convert into christianity for i love churches. in fact, i wanted to walk on the aisle with a few lil cute flower girls on my wedding day. Mr tall A had once told me to understand more about my own religion before making that drastic decision. Don't ask me about buddhism. i don't know anything about buddhism until that pathetic moral class 2 years ago. Then, there i was falling in love slowly with the teachings of buddha.
Buddhist are supposed to follow the 5 core precepts.
1) DO NOT KILL
that means that i should not harm and cause any sufferings to other organisms. wait... i don't remember how many ants and cockroaches i had killed mercilessly. i have baygon in my room and i spray that insecticide when i see cockroaches crawling in. i had used my room slippers to smack at those ants which make my life miserable. then, i had used the broom to hit on dragonflies. the gigantic davidson is also a good source for killing insects. fast and painless :p
2) DO NOT STEAL
hmm..... i have stolen things before from the mall. owh... that was in standard 2. my eyes was glued to this particular pencil and i wanted it badly. And when you take bisacodyl from the ward without a prescription, do you call it stealing?
3) DO NOT LIE
i had been teling a lot of white lies...... 'oh kf, your spaghetti tastes so finger licking good!!! '
a buddhist is not supposed to gossip. owh!!! i gossiped almost every single day!!! so how? i hope God doesn't cut my tongue in hell.....
4) DO NOT MISUSE SEX
adultery is forbidden. owh... i shall skipped this part since i am not married.
5) DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL
oh no!!!! i just had a bottle of 5% vodka a fortnight ago. it was nice seriously. how do people survive without a lil bit of alcohol??
Anywayzz..... HAPPY WESAK DAY TO ALL
i have gone to ask for forgiveness in the temple this morning. i shall try not to kill insects and gossip anymore. i know its almost impossible to do so. there goes my job as a CNN reporter. sob..
i'll try to be a good girl buddha!! no worries!!
