Short filming

AAH.
Just came back from a short filming, in which I had to wear this princess costume XD. But its a variety show targeted at young children... So its alright. :D

*Why so serious* look (I only applied light eye makeup. This time using a BIT of mascara instead of fake lashes.)

Ok. Will try to smile more next time. This photo isn't really very flattering.

The filming venue:

There were alot of students (basically the whole class) who attended the show! Hence, we have live audiences. Haha.
Seeing them made me miss my primary school life. Their laughter, sabotages and everything. Haha.

When the show finally started, (I thought the two hosts look kinda familiar as I had seen them on TV before.) one of them kept forgetting his lines, which was hilarious.
I am not sure when this would be broadcasted, but you will be able to see me in the Okto channel if you have the chance to! It is the first official time my face will be on the TV in your house. LOL. (Remember to tell me if you spot me, as I seldom watch TV now.)

There was a mother who came here with her daughter for the filming, and she asked which level in secondary school am I in. I almost wanted to laugh out when I told her I am a poly student already. Well, she told me it was a compliment, though. =p~

And just when I was leaving, I noticed a small group of students who had attended the show earlier seated outside. They recognized me and I heard comments like "Eh, this one is the one just now act that one," and "its the princess right?" LOL. I am not sure if its my imagination or anything, but I thought I heard the word "lousy" being spouted. Or is it pretty? HAHA. Wishful thinking. I would prefer the latter though :(

Anyway, I was caught up in a frustrating incident this morning while I was on my way to the filming location.
A middle-aged guy stopped me in my tracks, and handed me something randomly, saying "Come,little girl. Uncle give you this."

Wa lao eh. The tone sounded so pervertic that my heart skipped a beat. ( I thought he is those conmen or tricksters that had something up their sleeves.)
And after hearing so many stories about looking at a specific object or into the person's eyes that will cause "hypnosis", I immediately looked away and said "No, thanks."

AND THEN HE STARTED ASKING BRIEF PERSONAL QUESTIONS, AND TOLD ME HE IS ACTUALLY A PASTOR/ PREACHER.

When he knew I ain't a Christian, he tried to preach me indirectly. But couldn't he notice my disinterested face? I had no choice but to spend about 15-20 minutes entertaining him because I had to wait for the filming crew- and there was no one there at that moment. (I shouldn't have reached the venue so early!)

He kept telling me about the creator of man, and life after death, bla bla bla. My mind was set on insulting him but I had no absolute time to.
On top of that, he even took out a bible book and forced me to read the lines aloud. I did speed reading for him till it became unintellgible.

Well, I am alright with it if he is just "preaching" or whatever you call it. But the most terrible part comes in when HE STARTED TO SHOOT OTHER RELIGIONS INDIRECTLY.
And he still had the cheek to tell me that we weren't going to talk about religion.

He started saying stuff such as the gods inside temples are just statues, and there are no actual gods, etc. And they are just spirits, bla bla.

PLEASE. ALTHOUGH I AM A FREE-THINKER, BUT I HATE IT IF YOU BAD-MOUTH ABOUT OTHER RELIGION(S). Do you think its fair to those who has a strong belief?
Since I do not belong to any religion, I have the FREEDOM to choose my belief. I had went to churches and temples before, and yes, I do think that Christians are mostly nice and gentle people.

But please, can you guys stop bad-mouthing other religions? Do not say stuff like "this this doesn't exist, bla bla." (Seriously, he is not the first Christian I had encountered that said stuff like these!) Don't you know the word "offensive"?

I am SOOOO pissed off. And this is what makes a bad impression on Christians. Do you see other religions going around, "preaching" uninterested people? Forcing people to create a strong instant belief in your God or whatever you believe in? That was what that guy tried to make me!
I felt so silly, mumbling and repeating what he was saying. I did that only to entertain him. He said he was trying to "guide" me into praying to God.

Hello, did I say I believe in all those stuff you'd said?
Irritated, I told him, "Why should I say this? I am not a Christian!"

And he replied something like I need not be a Christian in order to pray to God.

BUT PRAYING NEEDS SINCERITY, OKAY? You cannot force someone to do this and that!

I am sorry if I offended any Christians through this entry, (but there are alot of Christian friends whom I knew of are really good ones.) I do not detest them. I only show disrespect to THOSE who disrespect other religions FIRST..

If you want others to respect you and your religion, you have to do the same. How will you feel if someone from another religion starts to go around and badmouth about your god/church stuff? Don't you think its a bit unfair and selfish?

So far, I have never heard of anyone from other religions who badmouth stuff about Christians. Won't it be nice if everyone shows the least bit of respect for each other? You believe in yours, and I believe in mine.

Please don't ask me questions like whether God exists or not, because my answer will always be "50-50". I respect each and every religion(s) in existence. And I sincerely appreciate all those who had tried to talk me into your religion. I can only say "Thank you for your time," and that I will always stick to be a free-thinker. I will leave everything to fate, and there is no need for you to "preach" me or whatsoever.

Because... no matter how hard you try, I will NEVER,EVER be talked into it- unless I am willing on my own accord.

Don't. Force. Me.
