My eyes are feeling sore.. Waiting for my dear boy to call me after his parade.

Well.. Had a really miserable day. I couldn't hardly believe what I heard abt FBT shorts today. Wore a pair of FBT shorts to my granny hse today after my tuition. A few aunties came commenting that my shorts are too short, it's not appropriate for the occasion.
(FYI: It's some Taoist praying kinda event.)

They commented that I'm not showing respect to such occasion etc. I felt damn helpless, pissed off and then upset. It weren't any simple comments that ends with a full stop. It's endless, with other aunties at the sides, kaypo-ing what's happening then there goes their comments also. Firstly, I felt damn helpless as there is nothing I can do at that point of time, where on earth can I find a pair of pants? Secondly, I'm kinda pissed by those ppl who adds in their comments like this is an aunties' conversation. I'm definitely sure that they never learnt to put themselves into others ppl shoes. Cause they just keep commenting as it's FREE and I'm just like a nobody sitting there for them to comment abt until they're happy with nth else more to say. Thirdly, I'm truly upset. I made the effort to make a trip down to the event after my tuition, from Hougang to Jalan Bukit Merah. Yet, this is wat I deserve ultimately.

Tears just flow out from my eyes uncontrollably while I took a cab home myself.
Isn't it most important that worshipping to our religious comes from our hearts and not based on our attire? To some extend attire may be as important.
Think about it, how about a poor beggar who wish to enter the temple to pray? Would you chase him out because of his attire? Sometimes, we may be caught at situation in which we can't do anything about it, would the poor beggar wished to be dress in his torn clothings? Would I want to be in my shorts if I've a pair of pants with me? How about a rich man who dress very formally to pray in the temple when he doesn't have any intention to worship his religion deep down from his heart?

Comments may just be words but it can hurt you unknowingly. Only when you're the one receiving it, you'll then get a taste of it.
I may be upset but I've learnt sth: Speak with care. Always put yourself into others shoes before you judge and you comment. =)
