Sthing interesting happened last weekend (on top of the fact ma WHOLE fam stayed over at ma place in KJ) when we brought Zafran for a swim in the condo pool.
We made a deal to bring Zafran for a swim in the condo pool when he came over. The water was not very clean however, but since it's not TOO bad, we let him play around for a while anyways. There was another lil boy playing in the pool with him too. Was pretty fun.
After splashes of water and maybe around 10mins of fun in the pool, we took zafran out to dry him up and feed him some tit bits.
Then came a lady in short hair, with dark brown robe..with a handsize cross hanging on her chest and a bible in her hand. I was like "woh..." what an entry. Suddenly she just stopped beside us, started yelling on how she cant understand why we were swimming in the dirty pool and going on and on about skin desease and this and that. The lil chinese boy who was still in the pool jump out of the pool immediately. None of us responded to her. So she walked on..stopped again started to mumble again..then just stared at all of us.
With all due respect, the message was there. Even we knew that. And on some level we would give her some credit for pointing that out. But it was the way she said it. She was literally just yelling at all of us! This is a lady who was dressed up in such a way to portray how holy she is, but when she 'preached' she was just literally yelling at us. Who the heck is even gonna pay attn to you that way?
I mean seriously, the intention was good. But no matter what the message is, it is important how you deliver it. Portraying yourself as religious as that has weight to it too. You carry your religion's values and beliefs with you outwardly (just like how muslims in hijabs). You can't just go yelling at strangers to get your point across!
She then sat at the patio by the pool and read her bible. Aini was saying "maybe she's guarding the pool now.." :P
