Episode 70: I need more time.
Alright! I'm back early in the morning.
Drinking my soya milk and eating my bread while typing this out, feel like I'm an author, except maybe I should be dinning in a European cafe.
Hopefully the few who are eagerly awaiting for the thing I wanted to share will be happy for my return.
And to respond to that, I'll keep my promise and speak up.
It's actually about a dream I had a few days back.
You know how sometimes in dreams, you can experience things you've never experience before?
For example, fighting with swords, riding a motorboat or throwing cards that explodes? (Yes, these are some things I did in my dreams)
It makes me wonder, how can I do these things If I don't have knowledge of doing it?
I fancied studying abit Oneirology, but I guess human dream is too profound and complex for present-me to understand, so I'll just leave in to future-me.
Anyway, In this dream that I am going to tell you, I did something I have never did before in reality and it's the first time I did it in my dreams too.
Retelling the whole story would be pointless because.. it just is.
I'll just extract this important moment, which is when I kissed a girl.
So how did it happened? Guess I still have to tell part of the story.. =_=,
Apparently there is a group of people including me, sitting around a round table.
In the centre of the table there is a baton, we seems to be playing some kind of game.
The rule of the game is very simple and illogical.
Random person X will touch the baton and others will have to touch it quickly too.
The first person who touch the baton after X, will get a choice to hit X with the baton or to kiss X.
What puzzled me most was why would anyone want to touch the baton first and be X. Because X seems to have no benefits at all.. except the chance of getting kiss.. or unless you're a masochist.
Anyway the game is played for a few runs, I wasn't X or the 2nd player throughout.
No one kissed anyone, and there was lots of beatings throughout, turn out to be a pretty violent game. =_=,
Suddenly, I unconsciously (literally, cause I'm sleeping) became the 2nd player to touch the baton.
X is a girl, and I can honestly tell you who the girl is.. I don't know who she is.
It''s weird, because the real me would have just hit her lightly on the forehead.
But somehow dream me thinks differently, he thinks that it's a good opportunity experience how kissing feels like. What a chancer. =_=,
Anyway so we kissed, mouth-to-mouth and the game ended.
Seems like the game was made so that we kissed, or maybe there is a unspoken rule that states that the game ends upon 2 players kissing.
So the kissing was really something, something I never felt before.
I woke up and tried to put my finger horizontally between my lips and it felt different, not that I have a clear impression how how it was in the dream.
Makes me wonder if I really felt what a kiss is like.
Anyway, that wasn't really enough for me to want to share it on my blog.
What's amazing is that after I woke up I feel lazy to actually 'wake up' but yet too awake to go back to sleep.
I grabbed my phone which is just pillow-distance and open my harry potter e-book app and started reading.
Guess what I found in the first page of reading?
Harry Potter kissed Cho Chang. Coincidence or what? Coincidence I guess, but it's a pretty close to the line that divides coincidence and fate.
Harry Potter and Cho Chang. Actually At this point I wanted to blogged about the Harry potter exhibition I went with COLCLL but stupid KEN haven't whatsapp me the pictures. Guess it's a good excuse for me to skip and save it for next post.
Few days later I had another dream.. Really interesting, but too embarrassing to tell.
The same thing happened after I woke up, although not immediately.
I was watching Two and A Half Men and Charlie did the same thing as I did in the dream.
I'm like a seer huhs? But one who can only see the unimportant things that he is going to see the next day.
That is pretty pointless, but nonetheless amazing.
Anyway! There is something that is a million times more important than what I just shared. Maybe I hundred million times, cause what I just shared wasn't very important!
Today is my brother, Kuan Liang's Birthday!
Maybe you thought, I didn't wished you happy birthday on your exact birthday, but I did (I meant I'm doing it now) and it's just up to you on how soon you realise that!
Happy Birthday Bro! Hope you have enjoyed a great birthday, and if you didn't we'll make sure you have fun on the birthday celebration on 6th!
You have been such a great friend, brother and teacher throughout the years since we known each other.
It's funny that I mentioned teacher right? But it's true.
You've taught me so many things, from fashion, to relationship, to soccer, to gym.
I can still remember clear how each of this teachings come about, maybe I'll share a little since it won't take long.
Fashion
I remember it was during Sec 4, ten brothers have been formed, and we became closer friends. There is this one time where I had to get a new look, because I was supposedly going out on a important date. Maybe I didn't tell you exactly the reason why I needed new clothes, but you just agreed to help me regardless. Brought me and the other brothers to bugis street, and I got my first skinny jeans and shirt (don't wear them anymore). The date didn't turn out quite well, or you can say it didn't turn up at all, but since then I know I got a friend whom I can always depend on. Also pretty much thanks to you, I know how to navigate through the streets of town.
Relationship
Also during Sec 4, I know of two relationship kings (los, basically, they have a considerably long relationship). WM and YOU! It was great that I always have the both of you to consult to. I remember we would take 185 together, stop at your house bus stop and then wait for my 198. During that time, we would talk and you would give me advices, not sure if they are great advice los, things didn't end out well (story of my life? =_=,) and we were 16, how good advice can we give? Still, I'm very grateful I can confide everything to you. In fact I'm very lucky to have a few people like that in my life, and I hope I can do the same for them.
Soccer
It's funny for people to start watching soccer out of the blue at the age of 18, but it happened to me and I enjoyed it very much and it's all thanks to you! It all started at Sec 4 again.. You were very sulky one day, so I asked you why, and you told me Arsenal drew with West Ham.. (2-2 I think), so I teased and said I should support West Ham from then on. Who would have known that I really became West Ham till I die fan now. But I did not start watching soccer from then on, I only started after watching world cup 2010, in which we watched the final together with JUL too! The next day 3 of us went to school together and we took a polaroid picture together.
Great times! Best polaroid picture I ever have, although I only have 1. Anyway, there's Arsenal VS Olympiakos tonight! Hope your birthday luck can bring them a win! ='D
Gym
The story of how I started going to gym was a classic random story. I was on the MRT on my way home, and suddenly I had an epiphany that I should start working out to grow stronger. First person who comes to mind was KL immediately, los! The best Gym guy I know, and also one of my best friend. I knew you would help me and sure enough you did. Throughout my gym days (which is going to end soon because of NS) you've given me so many tips and advice (this time I'm quite sure they are good advice) and I really appreciate it. Thank you for everything, you've been such a good brother, probably the best! =')
Wow, apparently I was wrong, that took quite awhile.
I've been typing that since your birthday till it's no longer your birthday, it's 1+ now. Brother right?
Los, just want to say what you did for me and the other brothers are deeply appreciated.
That there's nothing more that I can say other than thank you and let's be friends forever (even if we're not, we're still brothers, because that's a non-severable tie)
Well, I can also say Happy Birthday again and Arsenal WIN WIN WIN! =')
Also I want to remind myself on this blog of that moment we started singing Apologise (when there is a thousand other songs we could have sing) at the same time with no pre-hand coordination. That is just amazing.. Daebak.
Alright, that's alot of dungeons and dragons. (Metaphor for stories and.. well details?)
So I shall return to my lair now and rest in peace. (Lair = Bed, Rest in peace = Sleep ≠ Death)
By By & Xia Soon.. maybe. =')

Blogger the Tumblr of the day, Hell Yea!

I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.
