Wollobo Day 9: How Car-Sickness Came To Be
We didn't have a prayer meet in school this week, so I decided to get that Ian McEwan novel I've been eyeing for months. Atonement. He is really a good writer, and currently my favourite author (you know how these kind of things are highly susceptible to change over years of maturity and exposure so for now he's number one author for me).
So there I was, happily going to the bus stop after class. And guess who I chance upon.
Stanley. (not Standley)
Stanley was a guy I met during orientation. He wasn't in my OG or anything, but during our camp briefing he was sitting next to me, and we exchanged things about one another.. we were sort of acquaintances.
So I said hi, and I sat down next to him. And we began talking about stuff, he told me about PID and me about what modules I took and am taking. And suddenly I realise he was one of the people in the prayer meet too, he was from Dilys' church. In fact, he's the guy who brought Dilys to church, and thus the latter got led to Christ. HALLELUJAH!
Since he was late, he decided to hail a cab and so graciously offered to drop me down somewhere in town. *Inserts personal note* I get car-sick very easily, and since this driver was driving and stopping and driving and stopping 1289314176934 times during our trip, I was really nauseous by the time I alighted. Anyway that's besides the point. The point was during our trip, he told me alot about what was happening to him, tonnes and tonnes of it. He just poured everything out. I guess maybe because I know a few people that were in relation to his problems and story, and I was a brother in Christ too, so he told me all those stuff. I tried my best to listen and relate to him (while the driver CONTINUES to drive and brake multiple times).
So hopefully, we can go out some time and I can follow him up. :]
Other than the novel, I got 2 CDs from trumpet praise. Namely Jared Anderson's Where To Begin and Relient K's new CD (it's out, it's out, it's out!) And this makes me reaally glad :]
Tomorrow's our presentation, I still got loads to prepare.
The CD reviews and Mosaic Music Festival coming up soon...
Goodnight :]
