29.1.04
woke up to a really dark room...
the rain was so heavy that the sun was really blocked out...
11am seemed like 6 plus in the morning...
toughie...
coz sam and i was planning on hitting the water this afternoon before going for gym...
plans fail...
like alwaz...
under the hands of the weather...
do weather have hands?
*shrugs*

but it's good too i guess...
have time to myself...
maybe will head down to the library...
need more books...
ryan, my bro's best bud's bro, told me the LOTR series aint such a good read...
so i need more books to last me thru these couple of days...
he's quite a witty guy actually...
so when we talk...
we out all out to outwit each other...
and end up laughing half the conversation away...
dunnoe why i'm in the reading mood now...
no explaination...
but nevertheless...
it remains a good thing...

was at the airport's bus terminal yesterdae...
you know the soft yellow lighting??
i dunnoe why...
but it gave a very surreal feeling to it...
plus the fact that it was raining and therefore, cool...
it felt like i was out of sg...
rather, in some dream-like place...
i HAD to convince i'm heading to the beach for training and not anything else...

i've alwaz had the dream-like feeling whenever i'm out of sg...
esp during my trip to perth with my primary sch when i was younger...
when i was in this huge toy store with my pals...
i guess it happens becoz everything around seem so foreign...
DUH!??!?
just the not-familiar feeling...
it was the same in thailand too...
though we were treating the area like our own neighbourhood by then...
walking ard alone...
going to the net cafe...
sending our laundry to the nice ladies in the back alleys...
buying our favourite cheese dogs and meiji milk from 7-11...
or chatting/smiling-when-we-dun-understand with uncle mi...
the fruit seller who gives the thai wsfing team free fruits...
our taking the mini-bus down to threpprasit road's nite markets...
it felt like we were in another world...
like when we were drinking in Hollywood...
this club everyone seems to love...
except sam with tissue in his ears...
me planted motionless on the barstool...
and loony mao-ing the nite away...
MAO: thai for drunk...

i was practically floating in that place...
must be the alcoholic influence...
the deafening music...
the pumping bass...
and the blinding lights...

but back to the dream-like feeling...
ever had a dream that was so real u swore it was???
or an experience so unbelieveable you had trouble convincing urself it was??
really a thin line that separates these two...
wouldnt even be a line actually...
just a blotch of grey...
i like grey...
but thats not the point...

does the dream-like feeling oni apply in situations that is pleasing to the individual?
if so...
i dont mind living in dreams sketching out my entire life...
having everything going my way...

i guess when they give something to you...
...they take something from you as well...
