I decided to change blogs because I got sick with freewebs. Firstly, I couldn't change the template into what I wanted, instead of the ones they've provided for the users. Secondly, whenever I opened my blog, "Error on Page" would appear at the bottom of the window, and I would have to refresh the page a few times to get rid of it. Thirdly, I got lazy trying to update my photo album(it was very laggy) Anyway, back to my topic... This morning, no wait, it's yesterday already...Anyway, I was on the MRT on the way home from Pergas. I was sitting. There was this Chinese man(standing) who kept staring at the book that was on my lap. The book is a Hadith. I looked up at him, but he still continued to stare at the book, trying to figure out what was written on the cover. After looking up at him for the second time, he smiled at me and asked whether the book is written in Arabic, and how I came by the book. I told him that it is in Malay and that I got it from the school. He then asked whether it is about Islam. I nodded. And then he asked me whether I could tell him about Islam in 3-5 words. I was stung. What truly IS Islam? The first thought that came to my mind was that Islam is about peace. I told him so. He said something like, "Good, only one word," and nodded. And he said something about keeping what I've told him in mind. He alighted at the next stop. I kep running through the question over and over again in my head. Eventhough Islam is about peace, it isn't the whole of it. I should have told him that 3-5 words aren't enough to explain Islam. I should have said Islam is about life, meaning how to live a life of a proper Muslim, like respect your elders, how you should carry yourself, and what is allowed and what is forbidden. I should have said Islam is about your sense of belief towards your religion. This action of thinking of what I SHOULD have said reminded me of my oral examination days. In the spur of the moment, you tend to say things on impulse without giving it much thought until after you've said them. This is because you don't want to appear flustered by wasting time. So, whatever comes out of your mouth is not really the answer that you wanted to give. The bottomline is, I regretted saying what I've said to that man. I shouldn't have given him an answer that is frequently mentioned in the newspapers. Oh well, what's done is done. Now on to the second thing that happened yesterday... This time, it was on the bus. There were this bunch of guys who were talking about Singapore Idol and American Idol after watching a TV commercial on Gayle being sent home. They first started talking about Singapore Idol, and blah blah blah, I wasn't really listening. But they caught my ear when they started talking about American Idol. One of the guys asked the others who was the first Idol winner. They all didn't know. And then, one of them said that the third Idol winner was Kelly Clarkson!!! And that Ruben Studdard won during the fourth season!!!! I was sitting there, thinking WHAT?!! They don't even know?!!! A real bunch of ignorant boys man!
