Piper & Her Twin

Had a dream that I was back in high school talking to one of my dear friends during recess.
In the middle of the conversation, her twin sat down beside her and joined us.

Wait what? I didn't know she had a twin. She never told us, and I never see her at school! I was so confused when her twin sister showed up.
(FYI - she doesn't have a twin in real life.)

"Who the fuck are you..." I thought to myself. But of course I didn't say that out loud. I have manners after all, even in my dream.
I looked at her, squinting my eyes. "I don't think it's polite to stare," my conscious nagged.

They looked identical, with the same beauty mark, big doe eyes, and a hair cut so short the hair merely reached just half an inch below the ears. But somehow I was able to differentiate them. And I didn't like her. She was too foreign to me.

"Is she... the evil twin?" I thought.
"Stop being dramatic, they're sisters!" My dream conscious chided.
"... Fine. I still don't like her." I continued staring at her.

And then I woke up, confused for a few seconds, then chucking to myself once the dream sank in.
The dream is ridiculous, as she had looked exactly the same as she did 10 years ago in my dream. I'm pretty sure she has long hair now, always wearing her signature winged-liners and definitely no twin sister, especially given that I've just seen her last month.

God. I guess I miss high school? That'd probably explain the bizarre dream.

Love ya Piper, I hope you don't have a twin stashed in a corner somewhere. x

Not so awesome dream

I usually have wonderful dreams like hanging out with my dream crushes Tom Hiddleston, TOP (from the Korean boy band Bigbang, not TOP the laundry soap powder), Johnny Depp and even Lady Gaga. I don't really have batshit scary and crazy dream (except one that was kinda like Corpse Party parody wtf) but few days ago I had the most bizarre dream ever.

I was with my friends as usual and there was someone new whom we just met; she joined our big gang and we ended up hung out for quite some times. But she (or he, not sure... Everything were fuzzy when I woke up) turned out to be a spy for an alien species. She betrayed us and sold us out to the aliens and in the end we became slaves of the aliens as they dominated the world wtf. And I was forced to work with the aliens as some kind of police officer.

So one day one of my BFFs Tami and my coursemates had a mini truck where they'd load some goods from time to time and had shipment to the city. The truck was parked at an illegal spot and they didn't even have a business license for what they were doing. My alien superior wanted me to write them a fine and had them arrested but I defended them and said, no they're my friends! You can't do that!

The alien said, it's either you or them. I stunned. I didn't know what to do. Tami was begging me, and the alien superior scowled at me as if he ( or is it it?) was daring me to not take any action at all. And the words kept repeating in my mind, it's either you or them, you or them, you or them... And in the end I wrote the fine wtf. (Heartless tsk tsk.) I got up my superior's car and I looked at the side mirror while Tami yelled and cried on the very spot wtf so dramatic. And I woke up.

So there's that. The conclusion is, I'm a heartless asshole. The aliens are assholes too.

Week #23: 端午节快乐!

1. How time flies! 11 weeks have passed so quickly and that concludes my bench work for my final year project. Which means, it's dissertation writing time. #nofun

2. Tiramisu from Tous Les Jours as supper because YOLO. (Do people still say YOLO?) On a side note, Master Chef (US version) is back, yay!

3. Braised beef glass noodle @ Fong Lye, my favourite Taiwanese restaurant at the moment. Feels good to have good food after a hectic week.

4. Look at this precious furball! <3 (I think he's a Bengal cat..?) Isn't he the cutest? Spotted him at Bangsar while we had our usual banana leaf rice.
Living inside a box must be torturous. He was constantly looking at a stray black kitten outside, as if he's jealous of the kitty that obviously has more freedom than him. Or maybe I'm overanalysing everything. Humans.

5. 端午节 is most probably my second favourite Lunar festival (Chinese New Year obviously being the first). Why? Well. I mean, look at all the yummylicious but sinful bakzhang. Mooncake festival used to be my second favourite but the mooncake crave kinds of worn off throughout the years. However the sad thing is till date (this year) I have not eaten even one bakzhang as I'm away from home as usual. I miss home atm. :( 

6. I guess there's no turning point once you broke a glassware. More are coming after you broke the first one. Same goes to dropping your phone. Some of my friends managed to last for a few months before they dropped their precious iPhones. And once the first accident happened, more followed. It's like a curse. Anyway what I'm trying to say here is that, since I was working in the laboratories for the past 11 weeks, breaking glasswares were quite common for us. However I managed to maintain my record... Only until week 8 where I finally broke a beaker. Then a glass rod. Then another beaker. And then a flask. -_- But still an achievement nonetheless. Like, 4 glasswares, pft, I'm sure with my clumsiness I can break more but I stay at 4. Right? You know what I'm saying? Ok? Ok.

6. Still have not watched Edge of Tomorrow, X-Men and How to Train Your Dragon, boo. :( Sorry my Goddess Emily Blunt, I promise I will support you in theatre.

7. Currently playing: Richard & Alice, an indie adventure game. The plot is intriguing but I was scared at some point all thanks to the mysterious and unknowing atmosphere. I know. Wuss.

8. Remember that I mentioned Corpse Party last week? I had a dream few days ago that was similar with Corpse Party but took place in my university laboratory. Corpses lying on top of benches... Yeah you get the idea. 

8. I'm attending the first prom in my life next Saturday! So excited! I have already decided what to do with my hair  and makeup but the dress. THE DRESS! The most important thing is still missing! Well that's just me being last minute, as usual. No surprise.

9. Novel I recommend this week: 《帝王业》by 寐语者. Fast pace, very well written and the plot line is very fluent and well executed. It is available online (FOC) so just Google and enjoy! Probably the best online fiction I have ever read. No wonder the writer is dubbed as "Queen of Romance Fiction" by the Chinese keyboard warriors. I will definitely check out her other novels.

10. Currently listening to Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow (album). One of the things I love about indie is that it always makes me feel infinite. If you know what I mean, you're awesome. Brofist. ;)

Week #22: Mentally and physically tired

1. Prolly my last donation in campus. Can't believe this is my last semester here. :'(

2. Grilled eggplants and whatnot @ Sumi-ka. BEST. YAKINIKU. EVER!!! Like seriously, I can't get over how the beef melted on my tongue once I put it in my mouth. Every item we ordered exceeded our expectations. All the proteins are juicy and tender and even the eggplants are oh-so-delicious. The beef ribs were so good I nearly teared the moment I tasted it. Not exaggerating at all okay. I think I may have found my one true love. 

3. 31% on 31st. Peanut butter chocolate om-nom-nom!

4. (The bottle is so pretty.) Anyway this is how I spent my Saturday night. Let's just say that I woke up with drawings all over my hands and feet.

5. This week was so happening. Long story short, a series of events happened on our floor, (involving a mentally unstable woman, pink toxic fumes and roofs that fell from top floors into the balcony below us as well as the lake) for a second I thought that we might be cursed.

6. Managed to watch Maleficient this week as well. It was surprisingly amazing, I was actually expecting some cliche plot but nope! Disney surprised me again. Angelina Jolie is truly good in what she's doing. X-Men, Edge of Tomorrow, The Fault in Our Stars & How to Train Your Dragon next! Can't wait! :D

7. Had a dream that Johnny Depp was in our lab, sitting beside me, eagering to try my food samples. (Sadly Amber Heard was there too.) Why thank you Mr. Depp I'm deeply honoured to have you as my panellist.

8. Currently watching - Cry Plays: Corpse Party. A horror and gory Japanese game. It's a bit long but the interesting plot worth it anyway.

9. A random thought - What if Prince George and Harper Beckham have a play date? That'd be cute... And scandalous. *smirks*

10. Coming to the last week of my bench work. What I need the most now is luck, God.

My brain produces awesome random dreams

(Source: 1 & 2)

So last year I had a dream about Lady Gaga. My dreams were usually awesome but unfortunately I have forgotten to record it down every. Time. Urgh. But luckily I managed to save two in my Dayre last month. So yay!
Ayway, remember in Inception, Dom told Ariadne that there is no beginning in every dream we have? (Or rather, we don't remember having a starting point at the first place.) Well in my dream when I open my eyes I'm already in the middle of whatever story my brain constructs.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, I present you... My brain.

Random dream of the day #1:

TOP and my mom stumbled upon a Chinese restaurant that looked like a temple tower. (For some reason we're touring with Bigbang lol.) Anyway we sat down and ordered food. The next thing I knew was TOP busy stuffing himself with noodles, it was so comical I wish I remember. Mom was offended then as she asked TOP to get her a menu but he ignored her because all he cared was his bowl of noodles.

Random dream of the day #2:

Tom Hiddleston asked me to bring him to an orthodontist in Bangsar because he wanted to fix his teeth. 'But your teeth are perfect,' I told him. But he insisted anyway so in the end I sat through the whole process with him. (Best girlfriend ever, am I right? Right?) Anyway just in case you're curious, he still looked gorgeous despite wearing braces. <3 Oh Tom.

Anyway this was the 2nd dream I had about Tom Hiddleston. The first dream about him was so steamy I can't even.

The First Tom Hiddleston dream I had which was beyond words super duperly amazingly awesome:

I was in the back seat of a Black Bentley. When I looked outside I saw a town square and our car was surrounded by paparazzi. I turned my head to the right and there he was, in a black suit looking as gorgeous and regal as ever. He told me we were in Prague. I was mad at him without even knowing why; I only remembered that we had a big fight and I was extremely angry at him. 'Let me out,' I said. He grabbed my arm and said, 'Don't go. Look, I'm sorry.' 'Let me out!' Yelling this time. He then placed me on top of him forcefully and started kissing me. I resisted at first but gave in eventually. I ran my fingers through his hair and trailed his jaw with my lips, able to feel the texture of his hair and the stubbles on his chin even though I knew it was just a dream at that moment...

And then I woke up, wondering what the hell just happened.

Seriously though, what the hell brain?

You dream alot when you sleep alot.

So I was sitting beside Lady Gaga (wtf #1), and she was supposed to write me a song for my album (wtf #2). While we were sitting at a coffee shop or something discussing the lyrics, her backup male dancer was poking me like I was a piece of cooked meat (wtf #3).

I said to her, "Do you mind... You know, your dancer? He keeps poking me,"
And Lady Gaga looked like she just had the whole universe figured out, and sang, "Po po po poking you po po poking you."

(Wtf #4).

Not knowing this was a dream, I said, "What the fuck is wrong with you people."

She ignored me, and proceeded to explain a stage I was to perform with her (wtf #5). It was basically a swimming pool with an open bar in the middle of the pool & we were supposed to sing (& dance) around the bar. And I told her, "I can't do it. It's too fucking slippery!" (wtf #6) She ignored me anyway.

And then we were shifted into a back alley suddenly and someone shouted "IT'S DINNAH TIMEEEE!" and a pack of bulldogs in several sizes including the cartoon version bull dog you saw in Tom & Jerry ran across the alley toward the kitchen while I was standing in the middle of the road. And they stomped past me as if I was a camera in a movie shooting scene (wtf #7).

And then I woke up. Wondernig what the fuck just happened.

A Sunday dream

Had a dream that I was in a public toilet, doing business no. 2 & there was a long queue after me so I decided to put a halt on my business and left. My brother showed up, told me he was looking for me everywhere and told me I should board the plane before the gate closed (at this point I realised I was in an airport the whole time). So I climbed lots of stairs and escalators, not knowing where to go, kept thinking “where the heck is that god damn gate and why the hell am I boarding a plane? Where am I going?!” (It’s a dream, after all) I heard people cheering my friend toward the highest floor downstairs, and I thought well let’s just keep climbing.

And I reached. A jumbo plane to the UK (And the funny thing is, this waiting lounge looked familiar). I kissed my dad and brother goodbye and went forward. Met my friends but they were already lining up and reaching the gate. The queue was too long so I decided to sit and wait.

And I met him. I sat right next to him, he did not recognise me. I whispered a thank you, not recognising him too. And then I woke up.
I should have say hi.

I have never dreamed of him before, this is a first.
Hi my old friend, what are you doing in an airport waiting lounge? How’s the heaven treating you? You did not age at all Danny.
I should have say hi.
