Sensitive entry

Type-R steering wheel cover

This afternoon, i continued my search for car accessories. Went to Carrefour (suntec) followed by Giant (Marina Sq). Although I couldnt find a suitable car seat cover still, I did manage to get a set of Type-R steering wheel cover + a pair of seat belt cushions, which is one of the promotional items for today. I bought it at abt 30% cheaper than the usual price, yeah! The grip for my steering wheel is much better now + the interior looks nicer with the matching blue colour.

This afternoon, I get to recall an incident which took place when i first joined NUS. A snr whom i know from engin orientation has invited me to his home for a chill out during one weekend. While i was lying on his bed, he switched on his PC and asked me to read a mail sent by his cell grp member. In the mail, this guy (someone i know also) wrote about his years of experiences in meditation. Unfortunately, he felt that he couldnt gain much from Buddhism and eventually received Christ. Since then, his life has improved tremendously and he wrote the mail to thank my friend for introducing Christianity to him. As a new buddhist who was the pretty much enthusiastic abt the Dharma, I felt offended and gave him the black face. He quickly shut down the mail upon realising my displeasure .....

Last week, I went back to NUS for a jog. When i was in the SRC bathroom, I saw a big grp of guys (abt 7-8) by the benches, getting changed and preparing for sports. I found many familiar faces in them, with abt 3-4 of them are actually from my batch, in addition to the snr whom i mentioned above (who is 3 yrs our snr). They all belong to the same cell grp, and have weekly gatherings in NUS for sports-together followed by their cell grp sessions. Wonderful. I may not be able to comment much abt their religious teachings, but at least i can see that the support they have given to one another is obviously there... and its still going strong after so many yrs of knowing one another. In comparison, the fellowship and spiritual support found in my religion is seriously lacking.

I know its unfair to compare. One is like giving u sweets, the other is giving u medicine. Obviously sweets are more appealing to medicines. Although the former could temporarily take away ur agony and pains, the latter is still eventually what we need to 'recover'.

I apologise if i have touched on sensitive issues and offended any of my friends/readers here. Its really time to ponder if all along we have been doing things for the sake of doing, or jus following blindly.
