Bloody Dream

January 16, 2012

I had a vivid dream during my afternoon nap yesterday. I was drifting in and out of sleep with many scattered dreams – if I remember correctly, I was at a concert and walking about at some European city, etc. when suddenly, images of slain men in prussian blue boxers lying on a slow moving truck trailer appeared. They were all bearded men and they all looked alike! Even the positions of their limbs lying on the trailer were identical, except they were laid a little haphazardly.

I was looking at the trailer from a bird’s eye view. As the trailer was moving along, I saw more dead bodies but this time, I saw their hearts were all hanging out from their bodies. As if they knew I was curious and asking, “Why?”, a voice in my head said to me, “This is to make sure that they are dead!”.

A whiff of zinc pierced my nostrils, I knew for sure it was the smell of blood. There was a man mopping up the blood on the trailer’s floor with two more other people, seen cutting open the corpses’ chest to lay out the hearts, as if they were butchering some dead cattle. Then, they looked up, at me. Their stares sent chills to my spine. I felt suffocated and I woke up, breaking in hot, afternoon sweat.

Klutz!

My friends were asking WHY I never join them for diving. They went last weekend to get certified and had a blast.

Firstly, I don’t think I want to sprain my brain worrying which wet suit would fit me. Secondly, I think I will look like a beached whale in a wet suit. A friend who is quite fit lamented that, she needs to lose her tummy to fit into a wet suit, otherwise, she would look terrible in a wet suit. I stared at her and then shook my head. I need to lose HALF my body weight to even get into a wet suit. Hahaha! And, I feel very "geli" when it comes to fishes and things under the sea. I don’t even eat sea cucumber ok! Haha! So I jokingly told my friends, no.. I am good. I think I shall "dive" by switching on Nat Geo HD on Astro and wear goggles in my living room. Now my Astro got HD ok.. don’t play play! LOL!

Well, actually, I think I didn’t want to go diving mainly because I am such a klutz! Super clumsy! I remember going for an orientation on the first day of work, I almost knocked down a filing tray while extending my hand for a handshake! It was quite hysterical! Luckily, I managed to salvage the tray before it toppled over! The people there must be thinking my surname is Klutz!

I remember vividly when I was walking to the bus station after tuition with a friend, my knees suddenly went limp when getting down from a pavement and I actually fell on my face! It was a lucky thing that my friend was there to help me! I was so embarrassed that I decided to skip tuition for a week!

Once, I accidentally put in my credit card bills in my boss’ incoming documents folder. It was a lucky thing that he didn’t ask me.. and merely passing it out to me.. Hahahahaha! Maybe I was thinking, how nice it would be if he offered to pay my credit card bills. LOL! Dream on!

I could even banged my elbow on the glass partition when I was getting out from my boss office carrying a pile of documents. *Shake head in disbelief!*

I was lucky though when I went to Taman Negara. I was NOT the klutz.. but somehow, being labelled as one because of my size. Hahahaha! When we were all stalled from proceeding further in the cave – the participants behind us kept cursing me for holding them up, when there was actually a skinny girl in front of me, too afraid of the dark and was crying when negotiating the narrow paths with gaping dark ditches… If I were a klutz when going through Gua Telinga… I think that’s it lah.. I won’t be here writing this!

So, to save everyone from worrying about me, it’s better for me to sit this one out. Haha. Glad you guys got certified! Woo hoo!
