Cleaning and tidying things has always been a tiring job. That was what Emma and I did today. We had to clean our flats. It happens every end of the semester. Em cleaned the fridge. She took out all the stuff and wipe the drawers. It was so clean after all the cleaning. She wiped the mirror in our bathroom as well. So, what did I do? I am supposed to remove all the rubbish and clean the cupboards and shelves. I vacuumed the living room and mopped the floor as well. I did my room as well. So tiring. After all these, Em and I decide to reward ourselves by going out to watch movie. =)
The fridge that Em cleaned and it is so tidy now.

Well, you know what I just found out. I went to this Christchurch Chinese Church Young Adult Group. This topic came up.
Catholics are not Christians.
I cannot believe my ears. I was thinking, what the hell did they think? Sorry for the language but I was really shocked. They were saying that Catholics are not Christians because we worship Mother Mary. What the heck did they think? I answered them no, we don't. Then, they said, but Catholics, in general, do that. Erm.. I didn't know how to answer that cos my family do not pray to Mother Mary. I know there was a session before mass starting on Saturday vigil but I have no idea what is it about. We do not go to that.
Then, Em said that I am not a true Catholic and why do I still call myself Catholic. Well, I don't care and I want to call myself Catholic. So what would you call yourself? Just Christian? There are many kinds of Christians.
Also, I wanted to clarify, so they call us Catholic not Christian and they are Christian themselves.
And we Catholic call ourselves, true Christian and they are the Protestants.
This is what I get the idea from both sides.
This is like war. My goodness. Why not just accept the fact we are all Christians and don't say anything else in front of other Christians. Just keep your mouth shut.
I feel really hurt by what they said. Ish..
Now, just leave this issue aside and let's not say anything. I do not want to hear anything said about this in front of me. ME. If you want to say anything, go ask others. Not me.
Sorry for what I just said but I just want to let out my feelings. LET OUT. Understand? You don't have to say anything else.
I just want to say my part. I guess I am not like others who likes to say what is on their mind immediately. I tend to take my time thinking and then said what I think. I didn't want to hurt other people's feelings. Once again, am I just too nice or what? Now, I know these people I said won't ever read my blog but who cares. At least I let out my feelings. I don't need them to know what I thought now. It doesn't matter.
Now, I repeat. This is my blog and I want to say anything I want. If you don't like it, too bad. My blog is meant to be private. It's only for relatives and close friends. I did not privatise it cos I thought some friends of mine do not have blogger or gmail accounts.
Case closed.

first, i look like im posing in that picture. but i was not. just to clarify :D
secondly, i am seriously Very Sorry i hurt your feelings. but this is what prostestants believe. the thing that u wanted to clarify is also true. ok we won't talk about this anymore. this was why i didn't want to ask you questions before. this is a sensitive issue.
thirdly, ya u are being too nice. same as in the post that sherp commented. sometimes its just good to tell people what you really think.
nite nite
Labels don't matter, you are who you are and that's what's important.
hah? which post did i say that? forgot already lo
Maybe I was being too nice, but there were too many of u and u guys keep saying instead of listening so I guess I cannot say anything as well.
Thanks Lawrence. =)
What post, sherp?
sherp, i think its 2 previous post. i was too lazy to comment on that post so commented here.
jas, yeah that is true. i am really sorry. i would hug u but u dun like hugs :( wen u want a sorry hug from me than tell me k.
Oo.. I will come for hug later. Hehe..
Yea.. I dun like hugs, ask Sherp or Ivy, they know.
Hey, Jazz, interesting about this issue... you know i have come across this problem before between/ What i reckon is Cathlolic is Christian.. and Jazz, just stick with what u believe.
I feel like saying what i feel if its OK Jazz, i reckon ppl have it wrong. Catholics don't worship Mother Mary... she isn't God so we don't worship her. You only worship God- thats from 10 commandments right? But all the same, we honour her role in Jesus' life. And we pray to her because she's like a Mother to us. I mean, praying is talking and u talk to ur mother right? That's not the same as worship.
Hey Anita,
Ok, I will stick to what I believe in. Thanks.
Seriously, that is the first time I heard ppl saying that Catholics are not Christians. I was so shocked that time. At the same time, I cannot stand the tension and I wanted to know more. Sigh...
