Will U Devote Your Life To Religion?

-
I was asked this question by mum just now as my brother was saying that one of his church preachers was devoting his life to Chirstianity for a nominal salary of $300 per month.

If I were to be given the opportunity, I guess I would not be a preacher as :-

  1. I am not a person who is so crazy about religion. My mum always had trouble to drag me to her Singapore Soka Association meetings as I just do not feel like going and I can't click with those people who are in my age group. I am also not so crazy about religion too.
  2. I don't think I have the power to convince people to convert into my religion if I were to become a preacher.
  3. I don't think one can survive on a $300 salary per month. It is worse than NS. In order to survive in S'pore (if u r single, u may need about $700-$900 a month, if u r attached or married, u may spend about $1.5k per month. That does not include children's expenses if u have children)

Do you guys agree?

depends on how a person thinks about money.... if he doesn't mind getting the salary low and is willing to spread the good news, then i think it's worth it... to you i respect your point of view as a brother.....

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
