Episode 64: If I had known earlier

Hey! I don't really know how to start, but I really wanted to blog, so I am doing it.
Why am I not like that all the time. If I was things, might have been very different.
Even when I am in my dreams, I hesitate whenever I come across something I'm not sure of.
So this is where I share the dream right? Right!
Fresh in the mind, because I just woke up. So once upon a dream...

...Something something happened, and I had to buy something. I was walking towards this building which has lots of police around it and I asked this female police for directions. She said she had to buy something too, and it can be found in the same place where I can buy my something. She brought me to the place, I bought my something and she bought hers too. I give my thanks and rush off as if I have a bus to catch or what.

Indeed, I have a bus to catch, and it was already moving. I ran after it like how I ran to complete shuttle run in 9seconds. Manage to catch up with it, open the back door (surprisingly there is a back door for a bus) and jumped in.

Some familiar faces on the bus, ADEL and others whom I can't remember who. I started looking for a seat, and manage found one beside KL. I was very happy because I haven't seen KL for a long time, LOS! For some reason, the seats on the bus are actually like those in the lecture theater. So KL and me were arranging our seats in such a way we can both rest our leg on a table. As simple as it may sound, we have a hard time making it work.

Adding some picture so that you can visualize my dream better! =')

When we finally achieve the master piece that allows leg resting on table. We took notice of this group of foreigners behind us, one of them was on the phone crying. I said something (I don't think I said something mean, because that is just not me) and the girl who was on the phone gave me a deadly stare before she took up two things, a whip and a measuring tape.

This is the kind of measuring tape I meant, although it has a lighter shade of pink. ='3

Next, she jumped like a ninja to the back of the bus and aim her whip at me. With my dream common sense, I used a table (a Westwood table appeared from nowhere) to defend. The impact I felt from the vibration of the table was really strong. I was scared... not of her, but for those innocent people who doesn't have a table like me, so I tried bringing this nonsen to another place. I escape from the bus via the front door, but before that I got hit twice on the leg. ****ing pain.

I ran and ran, and suddenly I was back to the building where the polices were. They were all pointing their guns at me, but then they switch their target, when they realised that a women with a whip and measuring tape is of much more threat. That XIAO ZA BO, finally back off a little, but it seems like she's still in the vicinity waiting for me. The police girl whom helped me earlier said I should stay in the building for awhile, until the coast is clear.

The vending machine that you will hear about later. It is the cup drink type.

We went to into the building to get some drinks. We talked along the way, and only this time, I took more notice of her, she's pretty, fair, has beautiful eyes and she was 19 years old. In that few minutes we were getting along well. I really wanted to ask this girl out, but I don't know how and I was waiting for the right moment (which I have no idea when is that). We got to the vending machine, I got my drink, she couldn't get hers, as the vending machine is experiencing some technical faults. As an engineer, it's my chance to be a hero, fix the machine, and I could ask her out after that, right? NO! The dream ended and I woke up, tried so hard to sleep and to get back into it, but it didn't happen.

Maybe you'll think that the idea of sleeping to get back into a dream is really stupid.

Because even if the outcome of that dream changed, it won't change anything in reality.

But that is not true, it changes a lot of things... Okay, actually it only change 1 thing.

It change me, I meant, dreaming it's an experience. You learn from experience, and you change from learning.

In the dream, you can feel and sense things, although it may not be as clear as in reality, but it maybe better that way.

You may end up doing things that you don't dare to do, and you will wake up as a braver person.

If I had known earlier, that the dream was going to end before I have a chance to ask her out.

I will, I definitely will ask her before its too late, I would learn something from it I guess.

But it's too late now, but never too late for regrets and that's why this dream thing took up about 2½ page on Microsoft Word.

Anyway, the holidays are here, and I'm quite proud to say none of these days are wasted.

Very quick summary of what I did ever since I graduated.

*Wednesday*

Completed my final act in school, IAP Presentation.

Had lunch with ALEX!

Night out at Zouk with ALEX, KEVIN, DARREN and KEVIN's friends whom I can only remember the surname TAY/TEY.

May not be the best night, but definitely meaningful and memorable. The next morning is definitely the worst day I ever had.

*Thursday*

Had my worst hangover, ate teban bar chor mee for the first time in a long while.

It was nice, but not nice enough to cure the hangover.

Walk around, sit around and lie around whole afternoon...

Until I decided to go for a run at night.

Ran to pioneer MRT station to look for KEN...

For money to buy 100+ (just remembered I haven't return you the money)

Sat around to talk, before taking the MRT back.

*Friday*

Went out to meet JUL and KEN at JE.

JUL and I took away Nasi Lemak from the Ananas Cafe there.

Decided to eat outside beauty world, but realised we only had one spoon. =_=,

Saw a bird died. R.I.P.

Went to the magic shop for look-see and also get ready for Sunday's game.

Ran in the night again...

And took MRT back again. (I know it's stupid, but I don't like home run (running home), that's why I don't watch bowling. Home run is from bowling right?) ='0

*Saturday*

Shopping with KL and CS, bought some shirts from G2000.

Still have a few things on my list unchecked, dark blue jeans, dress pants, some T-shirts.

Need a job, if I really want to buy them, all my ang baos are torn open.

Bad thing about today, is that there is no exercising.

*Sunday*
Exercise! Basketball in the morning before I head to JUL's house.

Finally got some accuracy back, the last time I played basketball with JUL, I was so horrible.

Played with a stranger 1v1, won 3-1. I am bragging, but it felt really awesome to win.

Went to JUL's for magical gathering with JUL, KEN, MAO and JUL's friend.

Great enjoyable and relaxing day. Phew~

*Monday*
Gym with KL, DAV and CS.
Good work out, and I'll make sure there is plenty more to come.
After the work out, ate at the new Subway at Gek Poh with KL and DAV.
The roasted chicken breast was terrible. It's either too dry, or it's not chicken.

If it is not chicken, I hope it ain't beef/human meat... (Cause I can't eat 1 of them, and I don't want to eat the other 1)

and cats and dogs, and all the other cute animals.

Saw an egg there. <--- Wonder if I can understand this after a few years.

Went home, slept, woke up, blog and do push ups (doing now)

Only could do 3 my arms are failing me. Failing is okay, but it's hurting me as well...

Which is also okay because I'm a man!

That's alot of sharing I did there!
Have to go now, going to send my applications for the different university before I sleep early.

As I'm prolly going for basketball tomorrow, and then dinner with my IAP colleagues.

By by good readers~
Xia~ =')

PS: Was looking for pictures for this post. Stumble across this other person's blog. No idea who she was, but she seems to be leading a life much more exciting then mine. But there's nothing to compare, we are different people. Anyway her name is Stacy, and that is why in the bottom corner of the vending machine picture, you see a line which have her name in it. Anyway found this song on her blog, talking about dream. Coincidence or what?

The girl in this video looks really cool. I think I like cool girls, but cool is a really hard word to define. Hahas.

Men have in their minds a picture of how the world will be. How they will be in that world. The world may be many different ways for them but there is one world that will never be and that is the world they dream of.

A dream is a wish your heart makes.

Episode 63: The meeting

Hey! I'm trying to blog here.

It's not like I've never blogged before, but yea, just saying...

Things are in a bit of a rush recently, with so many reports and presentation to be due soon.
Life's a mess and I hope I can survive it once again.

Recently I come across this quote, which I think I can and cannot relate to, both at the same time.

It goes like this... Well, I should just post the picture...

The sad thing is, I can only relate to the mess part... I meant, I'm just not a chess person. Los!

Anyway, usually I can't relate to the having a gf part...

...

BUT! Yesterday I had a dream, and it's a very interesting one.
I had lots of interesting dreams before, and I didn't write down every single one of them.

I regret that... and that and that one too, and I don't want to regret it this time.

So here's how it goes...

Like many of the times, the start of the dream is always blurry, I can't remember it well. It started of with something like me trying to get this girl. Her name was Yvonne, which actually rings no bell with me of anyone I actually know. Well, if you were to ask of my impression of the name now, I'll think it's someone slim (not skinny) and have a cool character. But let's not get off topic, I'll continue with the story and you'll continue reading from the next paragraph.

Anyway, I managed to get her to be my gf. That's the good thing, the bad thing is I have no idea how I did it. I meant, that would be much more an useful information than just knowing I got a gf.. in my dreams. So just on this casual day, she came to my place, we were at my room, lying on the bed looking at the computer. I don't remember what we were looking at, because she was looking at the computer, I was just looking at her. I think I like her, I like this girl whom I have no idea who she was, I just like her no matter what.

So so, I actually went to the living room for some reason I don't know. When I returned to the room, she wasn't there anymore, I looked at my computer, the screen was displaying the windows showing my account information of my private server maplestory character (FYI, I don't play it). I was worried why she left without a word, so I called her, it went to miss call, so I sent a message saying, 'Hey XXX! Why did you just leave suddenly?' (XXX because, I think I prolly used some nicknames or what but I don't remember what). So moments later, actually almost immediately, she replied. She said she wants to break up, because my maplestory character level 34 only. Now that is a creative way to break up. So I'm like okay... but I was not.

It was sad but it wasn't finished, after that I went to the living room again, for the same reason, which is I don't know. But this time my mum and brother was there, and they were talking about Yvonne. My brother told my mum that I have a gf, then I interrupted and said, 'break up le.' And THAT! is the end of the dream. Ouch! It was already painful enough if it had ended in the last paragraph, but NO! The dream director had to stab on my body a few more times, to wake me up, and it did.

So I guess the morale of the story is to train up a maplestory character...

...

NOT! I think it is to not go to the living room for no reason. Hahs? I meant that is so stupid.
Not only you feel stupid, but you also lose a girlfriend.

Well seriously, I actually have a few of afterthought after that dream.

Who is Yvonne? She seems vaguely familiar, but someone who I don't know for sure.
What if I see Yvonne in real life? I think I would still like her despite what she did to me.

What is I see someone whom I think is Yvonne, but is not? I think that is just screwed up. Los!

What if maplestory was a representation of something else? Okays, I just couldn't make any sense out of that.

Enough of the afterthoughts, time has moved on, so must I.
So here I am talking about something else.
Does the two lines above flows nicely and sound poetic?

Maybe it does maybe it doesn't, but I did not try at all...

...
BUT! Here's a 9 chi characters per line poem by me, written long long time ago. I dug it out from TTB blog!

过去

红灯笼微妙地在旋转,

黑沙发上的我在追忆.

快乐新年已经过去了,

但是灯笼仍然在自转.

美好的已时光不在了,

可是我却不能够忘记,

我和你那温馨的回忆.

过去的新年还会再来.

但我能够回到过去吗?

不是牛郎织女的神話,

只是我未写完的故事.

林伟祥

It's kind of random isn't it? But I surprisingly have two actual reasons for posting it.

1) It is somehow related to Chinese New Year and Chinese New Year just passed.

2) I want to write another Chi poem, and this poem inspires some of the content.

So here is the poem I've written, this time it's 7 characters per line. True story.

遇会

魔后可思自温席，
魔前会友渡元宵。
不意遇也忆中人，
绕俦围火识你名,
对此本有深感触。
发辫眼睫如织女，
言惠动触牛郎心。
虽不朝暮公一时，
愿经朱雀桥相会。
上寺见尽下寺续，
此寺终于页会美。

林伟祥

Alright! As usual, it's up to you to interpret it anyhow you like.
Although I must say this one is pretty obvious... if you are me! ='3

Anyway, writing this poem just makes me want to share this Chinese song by a very underrated star 吳克群. It's called 為你寫詩 and it's not my favourite song from him, but still, enjoy! =')

Really happy that I actually blogged, I can't say how much I enjoy it... sometimes.

You know what? I kinda what to keep my blog a secret.

So for those who knows this blog, good for you, but please don't share it with other people. Promise?
Promises and secrets. Most fragile things in life? Yet I still believe in them.

By by! 9~
