Water tales..

I won't be taking part in the Dragon boat competition next month.. These days, i seem to be having a lot of funny encounters with water.. Firstly, i dreamt twice about losing my loved ones in water. The first dream was of a tsunami washing my grandmother away. The second one i dreamt that i lost K in the sea where the Volvo Ocean Race finishing line is. In the second dream, i was with the spectators at the finishing line. Everyone was cheering for the racers, but i was crying my lungs out.

When i told my sister about my 2 dreams last week, she said it might be a sign that i shouldn't touch water or play water sports this year. When she said that, i had not told her i was going to go dragon boating next month.. Some of my friends said the dream might be a symbol of wealth. Since the Chinese believe that water symbolizes wealth. Maybe my Grandma or K will strike lottery since they got "washed" away by the sea. = ) Then K said my 2 dreams might be a sign that i should go and learn how to swim. Haiyah, i also don't know who to believe. Anyway, i decided not to take the risk and withdrew my application for the dragon boating. Plus the fact that last year, some Singaporeans just drowned in the sea during dragon boating in Cambodia.

Then recently, K and I have been hearing loud water noises in our bathroom in the middle of the night when we sleep. It's so loud that it sounds as if someone is using water in our bathroom, which is just next to our bed. Usually, we hear similar sounds when our neighbours upstairs are using water and the water runs through the pipes. But the recent water noises in our bathroom are super loud. I don't want to scare myself, but so far it has occured at 130am in the morning. Will see if today it happens again (provided i am still awake!) And as usual, K thinks nothing about it..

The one where my niece is a baby genius

I had a strange dream yesterday night.. I dreamt of my 1.5 year old niece, and in my dream, she's a baby genius!

I told my sister about my dream, and she said that i may be pregnant. Apparently, the old wives believe that if a married woman dreams of a baby or children, she will get pregnant soon!

The one where I dreamt about a Tsunami

Since i love to watch "Friends" so much, i've decided to try and title my blog entries the same way as the episodes in "Friends"... = P

Yesterday, i dreamt that i was at the beach when a Tsunami hit. I was with my family, my uncles and my grandmother.. I lost my grandmother (and my huge Winnie the Pooh soft toy) in the Tsunami. The rest of us managed to escape, but ended up being chased after by bad guys on motor bikes..

Somehow, we ended up at a small shop and hid there until the policemen came. My dream ended with us realizing that the policemen were also bad guys, and so we had to find a way to avoid going back to the police station with them.

Damn, i wish i could read dreams and interpret what they meant!!

Just another day..

I did not go to the office today.. woke up feeling totally crappy with minor cramps, and slight flu. Must be the flu vaccination i had yesterday. So ironic, one of the side effects of a flu vaccination is flu. So in order to prevent flu, i need to first suffer from it!

So then i decided to work from home. There was nobody around in the office anyway, and i had my laptop with me. I also wasn't really in the mood for make-up today. It's one of those days when you just want to wake up, not shower, not smear on make up, not comb your hair, and just start your day. Basically, it's one of those days when i wanted to be au naturale (i.e. look ugly!) =- )

I stayed at home for most part of the day. Did some work, cleared my mails, did accounts and sent out a quotation for Vivatech.. I even went online to apply for the 2010 US Diversity Visa lottery. This would be the second time K and I tried our luck at the lottery. Hopefully, we will get it this time round!

The whole laziness vibe got to me so much that i didn't even head out for lunch. Instead, i chose to dig up some ingredients from the fridge and ladder and made myself some cold pasta with celery, tuna and crab sticks. Tasted pretty good! I prepared too much, so will bring the leftovers to office for lunch tomorrow. So far, my resolution to lead a healthy lifestyle for the next 2 weeks has yield some results. For one, i feel much healthier and lighter. And there are no new pimples on my face!

In the evening, i met up with mom and sis for dinner and also to visit my grandma in hospital. Initially, they wanted to eat at Han's restaurant, but i rejected the idea, citing that the food there was too unhealthy. We ended up eating at the coffee shop beside the MRT, and i had vegetarian Kuay Chup. = )

We missed the free shuttle bus after our dinner, so ended up walking to the hospital instead.
Uncle David was there when we arrived at the hospital. Grandma looked perfectly fine now, just not very mobile. The doctor did a review on her condition 2 days ago, and mentioned that she had early stage dymentia. Which i'm not surprised, since she had been calling us all by the wrong names. She would call my sister my uncle, me my cousin etc etc.. There was a short discussion on the alternatives for Grandma once she gets discharged: Nursing home or get a maid. We sounded Grandma out on the idea, and it was not surprising that she preferred to get a maid and stay at home.

Grandma told us that she had a dream last night. It was funny yet disturbing at the same time. She said she dreamt that a deity had brought her to the community center below her block, and asked my uncle to bring her home from the hospital. The deity and her were eating at the community center. When we asked her what they were eating, she said they were eating shit. I'm not sure whether she was talking in a literal or metaphorical sense, but either way, it's disturbing.. = (

Mom and Sis took a cab home after that, whilst i walked to the MRT station. Along the way, i decided to do some grocery. Ended up buying two packets of egg biscuits, one box of cornflakes and a packet of high calcium soya bean milk for the flakes. That will be my breakfast tomorrow. K reached home an hour after me. By then, i had cleared more emails and booked my Basic Theory test on 26th Nov. K and I went downstairs for our run shortly after. It was a good run. = )

I'll be going back to the office tomorrow. Hopefully, i will not find any excuses for myself to not go to the gym (either during lunch or after work). I'll be flying off to KL this saturday, and then it'll be another weekend of "feasting" and "lazing", so i better work doubly hard tomorrow and lose all the fats and calories i can !!

My dream..

I had a silly dream last week.. I dreamt that my colleagues pissed me off again, but this time i did not conceal my anger but let it all out, right in front of them..

In my dream, i was supposed to have a tea session with my colleagues on a particular day in the afternoon.. i had baked cookies the day before and brought it to the office.. even made tea 30 minutes before the time for tea. Then at the exact timing for time, nobody moved.. everybody were kinda like occupied with their work, like they had forgotten that they were supposed to have the tea session as committed in their calenders.. then someone suggested that we cancel the tea session.. That became the last straw for me, so i threw the plate of cookies i had in my hand and smashed the tea cups (which were filled with hot tea) on the floor.. Then i ran away crying. My dream ended with my worried colleagues searching for me in the vicinity, and me hiding from them while queing up to take the cable car.. = )

They say all dreams have meanings. I wonder what my dream meant??
