A Case Of De Ja Vu

recently i joined the nus lion dance troupe, and i got to know a fellow team mate at the annual cny celebratory steamboat dinner last night. he was sitting opposite me so we were kinda sharing the two pots of soup.
apparently he's one year my senior from nj.

but the creepy thing is,
he totally reminds me of jing liang...
i mean , not only do they look really alike, but they talk the same way, and they even have the same offbeat-yet-endearing cheena sense of humour...

and if that's not bizarre enough, he even has a qiu jie!!!
it's this guy who's like his classmate since sec 1, his buddy all the way through to nus lion dance...and this guy looks kinda like qiu jie, and dresses like qiu jie too!!! (the whole collared buttoned up shirt thing...)

i never thought i'd ever say this in this lifetime, but thank goodness they're from chinese high...

know what his name is?
jinyao.

...
ok enough with the twilight zone soundtrack.

anyway i was trying to make sense of all this, and i kinda realised where it's all heading.
i was feeling quite fed up after i joined the troupe because i felt really alone and out of place there. i was really sick of always having to try and make contact when they seemed to have absolutely no desire to make conversation with me. -twirl lock of blond hair- i mean, like, the guys weren't talking to me because, like, i'm a girl (oh boo hoo hoo)...and the girls...well...they just weren't talking to me. basically i couldn't get past two sentences with any of them. and the only person not ignoring me was hong kai, i suppose just because he was the one who pulled me into the cca.
thing is, i guess now it sort of makes it a lot easier to talk to them. call it a false sense of familiarity, but i feel a lot less intimidated about having to make the first move and approaching any of them.

somehow, i feel like i'm back home.

now, i fully understand when they say that God has a sense of humour.
