Second chance

I went to an "indoor bbq" this evening, it was a welcome event organized by a local community church. It was good, everyone in there are very friendly and nice. We talked and laughed; it is kind of heartwarming especially when you are in a four-season country with cold weather now.

This friend of mine, PC, I met her in a theatre performance two weeks ago. She invited me to this bbq event. She is also a Christian and she shared with me some of her thought about Christianity. I am kind of a freethinker person; I grew up in a family with my mum and dad both has different religion. My parent adores and love and respect each other and we kids can always go to both temples and churches. One thing my parent have we kids know is that all religion teach and guide us to do good things and have kind heart. Nowadays the problem is some of the extremist interprets the holy text to the wrong direction, it is really up to how a person interpret the knowledge in front of him/her.

I didn’t really learnt about Buddhism or Christianity back at home. There was a chance for me to get to know more about Christianity in my first year undergrad, but I was too nervous back then. Imagine everyone is speaking fluent English and they discuss about lines in the Bible and they sing and dance (I am a very nerd kind of person, wearing a spec, not confident, did not have sweet next door gal look). I dropped out in second session. Now, here comes second chance, this local community church has service on every Sunday morning. They invited me to come if I am interested.

Well, I think I will go. You know why? It is because I am curious about all this philosophy and knowledge behind the religion. Have you watched a movie call Life of Pi? The main character Pi wanted to understand god and religion, I supposed and he practiced all this different religions. Well, I am not saying I will practice many different religions, but I will give it a try into learning the knowledge about it.

To be continued tomorrow. Cheers.
