Seeing Stars and Hokkien Service

I was at a MRT station yesterday and I saw this blind man walking a distance from me. I saw two young girls went up to him and started talking to him excitably. I was wondering why he looked so distinctly familiar when I realized that he was the winner of the whatever singing contest that was.

Well, he seems friendly enough, judging from the way that he conversed with the girls.

Yet another girl was gushing away about him when I was walking away from the station.

"Oh my god! He was on the same train as me... blah blah blah!"

I think she has quite a squeaky high voice and her excitement made it worse!

I really think I have problem recognizing local celebrities. I have this Kelvin Tan right in front of me and I didn't know who he was. I had have Rui En and Taufik walking pass me and I didn't have a single clue to who they were until someone pointed it out to me.

Hmmm.

Maybe I should watch more TV.

I walked past a church the other day.

There was a banner on its wall stating the various time and language of services.

I didn't know they did services in Hokkien and Cantonese too!

Since God is also known as Heavenly Father, I was wondering if the pastor would start a sermon by saying: "Lim pei ka li kong..." (And Father(God) said)
