It's Easter!!!!! Ok, no...I'm a leetle bit late, past the day by 48hours, but better late than never right? Heh...

Christ has died,
Christ is risen,
Christ will come again!!!!

I just had a spate of embarrassing encounters. In the morning, this guy thought I was tailing him. And he kept looking back at me every time he turned around the bend going up the library floors. I'd looked behind, to see if he was looking at anyone. But no. There was only me, and me, and me. He must have thought I was stalking him. Oh, for goodness sake! I ran to the ladies after that. Then, just now I met with a lady coming down the stairs of the library, and I waved to her, cuz she looked very much like a friend I knew. She waved, cautiously, and lo...she started to tail me to the Loans Desk 1 floor down, and chased me, just to ask for my name.

Lady: "I'm sorry...what's your name?"
Me: "Oh...wait, aren't you from CSS? (Catholic Student Society)"
Lady: "No no. I'm not. I'm not catholic. I'm Christian"
Me: "*quizzed look* Thinking, "Aren't catholics Christians too?"
Me:"*embarrassed* =) I'm sorry... I thought you were someone I knew"

AHHH! Oh my goodness.
Firstly, I'm always making stupid mistakes like recognising wrong people...It's that kind when you start waving at a friend who is walking behind a stranger and the stranger waves back. OR, it's that kind when you get a wave, but you don't know if you know the person, and you look back, only to see no one...so that means that bugger knows you. And I'll get a whacking and scolding for not recognising thereafter. Worse yet, if I happen to be in the place of the stranger and wave back when the person was waving at someone behind me. AIYO!!!!

Next, I was thinking, why do majority of the people I meet think that Catholics are not Christians and that Christians are not Catholics. Sigh. Christians are believers of Christ. And Catholics are believers of Christ too...just as Protestants, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians...!

Hiding back, safe behind my laptop in sheer embarrassment...I feel like an ostrich who just buries its face in the ground when danger comes and leaves its body exposed.
I shall now continue my quest to self-redemption.

-Yours truly ;
