This week wasted 3 days of my life attending ACTA course...and till now I still don't understand why I have to attend the same course and being bonded 2 times for the same course...even the trainer also was puzzled why I was there when I showed him my certificates...any it was fun listening to his "talking rot" session and you know what...from conversation with him I found out that he is a laspse Catholic...came from a family of 12 and a devout Catholic family...I asked him whether does he go to church regularly...he told he has stop attending church but all his siblings does and you know what? Of all the churches in Signapore...it has to be the Church of the Holy Trinity! What a small world...anyway the good thing in him is that he still believes in the power of prayers and he told he just rely on prayers to secure the next job assignment (He is a free lance trainer). He does not advertised or even a maintian a web page...so all his job assignments are solely relying on the word of mouth...and he has been doing this for the past 10 years...So I think God is still with him even though he has stop going to church...which means that I still have hope...
Through some of the conversations that I had with him over the period of 3 days..he relate to me his experiences of conducting a 10 day course on customer service to group of young, sexy and beautiful ladies (mainly from the airline industry, I am sure you know which airline) gearing up for the F1 event in Singapore...they are being groomed to be ambassador role during the 3 day event...and from his facial expression the way the way he describe the girls, I can see that the girls he handle during course must indeed be very extremely good-looking and that is ultimate the society wish to see in a woman...and he actually remarked that never in his life (he is about in his 50s already) he has ever been surrounded by so many beautiful girls (about 200 in total-20 different girls on each day as it is a one day course)...at the end of the conversation...I FELT SAD...and here is why:
The way girls are being used to lure, promote the event or even to entertain some privilage spectators goes to show our world has degrade woman to such a level that is so senseless and immoral even to think of....call me conservative, old-fashion whatever...but this is certainly God will regard is as something not quite right.....To me it was an eye opener conversation as it clearly demonstrated to me how sinful this world is in today's era...has the world become more sinful compare with 30 years before...I don't know coz I was not there but certainly it is indeed sinful...I am sure some of us must have read the papers recently highlighting the grid girls for the F1 event and all seem so well...but do you know that there isn't any article written against the use of women to promote the event (at least not that I know of, correct me I am wrong)...why must it be sexy young women use to promote the event?why can't it just be a decent sporting event?....As Catholics, are we (myself included) commiting the sin of omission i.e. having doing nothing about something when we felt is morally wrong and not right? I don't know, I am not sure myself too....St Therese please enlighten me on this...Mother Mary please guide me thru in this thinking....!
