In and out of dreamland

Song of today: None
___________________________________________

Oh no! It’s “Somewhere Out There” again… This song evokes thoughts of you. Sigh… I am being moved by this song. Oh well… Stay strong, stay strong.

Well I woke up later than I had anticipated and thus missed mom before she left for work. That meant that I missed the opportunity to ask her to get the PC on. But thank goodness with the “SOS” message, I managed to get it on. Hmmm, have been stuck at home the whole day today. Sigh. It ain’t fun. =(

Ah, dang. Looks like another moody day. Suits the weather fine, its raining, or was at least. Not sure now. Okay, just checked. Its stopped. Yay That means I can run later on. Haha, mom came out of her room at like 1 last night and didn’t see me in bed. I was outside, yuh huh. And she started to panic, haha. She thought I went outside for a run.

Well, I’m gonna run today. It sucks that we have to do this silly reflections for Character Development. What the heck am I supposed to write about? *Scratches head* Its silly… Oh well, I gotta do what needs to be done, so I gotta go ahead and do it. Think, think.

Anyway, it was fun to talk to Uncle Jerome today. Mad conversations I have with my uncle (L, for the record, we did NOT even touch the subject of his work area. ;) Is that an achievement? Haha.)… He was suggesting I find more hobbies since I’m bored to death sticking around at home. Something about art which then went to how I use my money and how to save. He thinks I should get a piggy bank to store my coins.

Okay, let me take you into my dreams. I stay in a house… A double story bungalow house in a temperate region. It is nice to have a garden once again, I am surrounded by plants of all sorts. The interior décor of the house is stunning. There is a brick wall, the colour of the room is brown and it reflects a country look. I walk down the room, touching the teak furniture, feeling the smooth contours of the chair. The parquet flooring adds another dimension to the room. Sunlight streams in through the open window that looks out to the garden.

I proceed to the kitchen where a huge wooden table sits in the centre of the room. The kitchen is full of appliances – microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator. The wooden floor looks old, as does the kitchen. There is an ‘old’ feeling to the whole house. I move upstairs, up the archaic ascent of the stairs. I reach the landing and look over the banister. Its been a long time since I’ve stayed in a double storied place. It feels wonderful to have an upstairs again.

Into one room. It is beautiful and a melody comes off from the CD player. It soothes me, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere. There is a large kind sized bed in the middle of the room. A futuristic computer at one end of the room looks oddly out of place. The dresser on the other hand, complements the room magnificently. Old oak cupboards line one wall, I rub my hands along the door of the wardrobes. It feels nice to touch the wood. A light breeze blows causing the curtain to lift slightly. My attention is drawn to the window. I move towards it and gaze at the expanse of sky that lies before me. The view moves me to bits – I can see the peaks of mountains, pine trees lining the sides, the river the meanders around, great pastures of green. Splashes of blue, green, purple… Its so picturesque. Its now time to leave my dream and come back to reality.

I want to escape into it again. But I can’t, I’m being drawn out and I slowly realize the familiar pattern on the comforter of my bed which I now sit on. The neon green covers of the pillows are an eye sore. The pallid peach cupboards stare at me, at least a decade old. I wonder how many people have used this room before me. I don’t like the thought. I push it away. The yellow light from the ceiling shines down, illuminating the room. The evening sunlight can’t penetrate through the thick curtains, the room looks dank. I turn around and look out.

The sight isn’t gorgeous. I see a carpark with several cars parked, shades offering shelter from the blazing sun. Puddles are spread all over the gravel driveway. And across that a basketball court in its newly painted hues, blue, red, green and white. A mess of colours unlike those from view I saw from my dream home. Beyond that, a high multi-story technical institute blocks any further view. It is a grey building and as it stares back at me, I began to feel uncomfortable. It’s a depressing colour.

I escape into another dream… Its just you and me, living together. We are happy. I see you laughing, I laugh along with you. We are in a house, almost similar to the one described in my first dream. I step out onto the front porch and look down the road. Houses line the street, but I don’t mind. The neighbours are friendly, I am happy with you and my house. I stoop down and pick the papers up. Turning around, I see the house front. I smile, liking the fact that I actually own this piece of magnificent treasure.

We sit down to breakfast, its not those Asian kind, but Western. It is just nice to be near you. I enjoy your company immensely. Words cannot describe this feeling. But all too soon I am pulled out of this dream too. I fight to return to it, but the thoughts fade yet again. I am disappointed… I liked this dream too. Will I get back into it? Probably not… What a waste, what a pity.

I am tired, I’d better get some sleep… I will update this later. I gotta go call Jon Soh first. Sigh. I want to dream of you more…

Damn the rain! It started to pour again. I think I shall have to run tomorrow morning if possible. I can’t possibly come back dripping through the prep area and all the way back home. Just stop raining! I want to run. Sigh…

When I look at the stuff I eat, I just realize how unhealthy it all is. Why don’t I just give up eating at this rate? Haha. Hmmm, I wish I could plan my diets better…I wish I were more athletic than I am. Why don’t I just do the I wish list?
I wish…
I could plan what I eat better.
I were a more athletic person.
I could reverse all the years of eating junk, eating too MUCH junk that is.
I could lose weight easily, I am seriously heavy and I wanna drop my BMI. I made it to 68kg from 78kg, I hope I can drop more. I know I can.
I had a better body.
I hadn’t got these pimples on my nose.

Thank goodness the pimple cream is working, those pimples were frightfully big but have shrunk now. My skin stings a bit tough. Eck! That’s what happens when you don’t watch yer diet mom says. Right, poly food is fattening! So you expect me to take a fruit everyday and eat that and that alone? Maybe I should. But then there’s the whole deal about eating proteins and carbos as well. How is an apple protein and carbo? 0_0 I sound very messed up don’t I? Poor me. Ah, I’m going into self-pity now am I? *Whacks forehead*

I’m just going crazy I think. Since when did I become such a health nutter? Goodness knows. But now it seems kinda important. Okay, I shall stop my mad muttering here, before I bore anyone to death.
