A little story...

Once upon a time, there was a man who wasn't a good person but not a bad one as well.... He was living a good life until one day he passed away.....
Soon after, he was summoned by God. The man was stunned and appalled that God might send him to the hell, since he hasn't done much merits during his lifetime. Yet, knowing he wasn't a bad person, God let him go to the heaven. The man was excited and there he went to the heaven.

During the first couple of weeks being a residence of the heaven, the man feels the serenity and beauty of heaven. He enjoyed his time there very much. A month later however, he started to feel bored. he started to ponder why in the first place is he here? what did hell look like? Floating deep in his thoughts, he then saw an angel passing by. Soon enough he went to the angel, thinking of chatting with her to kill some time. So there he goes...

Man: Hi... Hi... Ms Angel... I'm bored. is there anything I can do?
Angel: Go and calm your mind.
Man: I've done that.... but I am still bored... Hey.. by any chance do you know if there is any shopping centre here? Let's go shopping...
Angel: We are not attached to such things here.
Man: Ow.... then what about some fancy food? Let's say Hamburger... I haven't eaten that for ages..... Shall we? Shall we?
Angel: We do not serve such food here.
Man: Pfftt.... what the heck is this? Why do I have to get stuck on this? I am not a saint or what.... I want life.... Shouldn't have came here? I should have gone to hell....
Angel: That's up to you.... That's the road to hell. We purify our mind from all worldly thoughts here.

Pissed by the angel, the man walked away and decided to go to the Hell for a little sightseeing. On his way,he saw the signs to hell and huge welcoming banner, which said:

"WELCOME TO HELL!!!!! WE'VE GOT ALL YOU WANT HERE.... CASINO, SHOPPING CENTRE, FANCY RESTAURANTS, BAR, CONDOMINIUM.... ANYTHING YOU COULD EVER THINK OF.... ENJOY YOUR TIME HERE WITH US!!!! EVERYONE IS WELCOME"

After looking at it, the man got excited.... He told himself.... Who would have guessed that hell would be a place with heaps of FUN.... It didn't look like the one described in the bible. There wasn't any flame, agony, torment, spike or whatever is written there.... Should have come here since the start... Wouldn't have wasted my time in the heaven.... So happily he made his way to the hell.... he walked faster and faster and eventually he arrived.... the gateway was massive, made from gold and diamonds..... he knocked on the door and the attendant opened it for him. Without saying anything he went through the door. As the door shut, what he saw was exactly the place depicted in the bible..... Screaming was heard everywhere, torment, devils, Agony....

He was shocked and couldn't believe what he saw. Soon he was taken away by one of the devil.... He cried and cried, but no one seemed to be bothered. He then gather up his courage and asked the devil....

Man: Why did you bring me here? I want to go the casino, the shopping centre not this place....
Devil: There isn't any here.
Man: You liar!!!! It was clearly written on the banner on my way here....
Devil: Oh... You mean that? These days you need a bit of advertisement to run the business.... Welcome to the REAL hell
Man: NOOOOOOOOOO


p.s So... things that look fabulous aren't always good ones. On the contrary, Dull stuffs may turn out to be the better ones in the end. Don't get too excited.... they may be fraud.
