Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

found out last night that sat wasn't valentine's day.
phew.
i was thinking too much into it anyway.

we had area meeting on sat and ms lee introed the team to the proj servants,
among whom i have come to meet some interesting characters.

one such character is john, brother of james, son of zebedee, brother of joanne from grace bible pres.
we played soccer on sat and when we were resting i chatted with him.
a couple of weeks before, we had already met at rom trail and already i had taken a liking to him.

i wore my university of the nations shrit then and he asked if i was from cambodia. LOL
i said "yea, i'm from cambodia. i hunt lions during my free time..." heh.
he smiled, then he saw my shorts,
"did you just come from soccer?'
lol. i laughed again...(and he asks it with such a look of conviction.)
i told him that i came from home and he had this look of "oh i see.."

but this isn't to say that he's ignorant or anything( i wouldn't know for sure though)
that night he became the first person i'd ever met who could point out that i had two pens with me all the time(one for spinning and one for writing)
*applauds*

on sat, his revelation shocked me even further.
"i took double maths and physics for my a's..." (he's waiting to go to the U btw)
o.o
"i love maths....F maths is so fun..."
0.o
"yea...it's an adrenaline rush whenever i do maths...."
0.0
"you know what kind of questions they ask you in f maths? you know pendulum right? calculate the period of the oscillations....fun right?"
(for lack of creativity, insert expression of utmost amazement here using imagination)
no wonder he going into some engine course in U. something about turbines and stuff...

totally blew my mind. never thought i'd actually meet such people. now, i can expect anything...
made me realise. in this world there are people like that,
and then there's me:
having a jolly good ride in school thanks to the dreaded subject...
so that's john, brother of james, son of zebedee, brother of joanne, from grace bible pres(i actually call him that)
heh, and he's not bad at soccer too. : )

another proj servant i've come to know of is jeremy.
i don't really know jeremy that well.
met him personally for the first time on sat during area meeting,
but apparently he knew of me even before that...(ms lee hadn't introed us yet)

Me: "hi, sorry, but i don't really know your name yet..."
J: "oh, i'm jeremy. you're ernest right?"
Me: "!? how you know !?"
J: "they say ur soccer is good, and your dressing is infamous..."(i was wearing a t-shirt and shorts)
Me: "!?!?....uhhhh...."

and such incidents are not isolated.
my name has been circulating among the proj servants apparently. sam and east..

i would walk out of the lift and enconter some sam proj servants.
Me: "hi."
PS: "hello"
PY: "oh, this is ernest."
PS: "ohhhh, so YOU'RE ernest...pleased to meet you.."
Me: "uh, ok..pleased to meet you.."

or

Me: "oh, hello. eh, you quite familiar, i like see your face before...'
PS: "um, i dun think so."
Me: "haha, issit...lemme think.."
ET: "this is ernest"
PS: "ohhh"
Me: "huh, how you know me?"
PS: "oh, pei yun got tell us about you before.."
Me: "issit...i know liao! i saw you..."

so weird to meet people you don't know but who know you...
chinks and tham also lidat i've heard...
