Today, I was with Elena and Alicia at somewhere in Subang Square and we were approached by this monk-looking guy. He gave me a card with the image of Goddess of Mercy and some scripture. I said ‘thank you’(mom never told me not to accept things from strangers) and opened up a book. He gave me a pen and told me to write my name in there followed by the amount I wish to donate. So I thought, why not? so I wrote RM2 (yeah all I had was RM10) but he said the least I should donate is RM5!! I gave anyhow thinking it’s an honest alms giving anyway. Then later in the day, it strrucked me that it’s not the money that REAL monks ask for, so you can donate as you wish! drats.. I got cheated again. Do I have that easy-to-cheat look? *sigh*
