(They Long To Be) Close To You - The Carpenters

Listen to this song. Just listen. There are no words to describe it, just warmth.

Why do stars fall down from the sky ev’ry time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.

I dreamt this morning. Everything was so surreal. I could actually puppet myself and the details were just unsurprisingly real. The colours so vivid and the characters so vibrant. It's probably the first time in my life that I could remember every single detail in that one particular setting.

I was a passenger in a car. A blue Land Rover to be exact. There were red fluffy dice balls hanging in the car. As we cruised along a canyon, an oncoming school bus or was it truck rammed into us and we swerved down into the deep pits below.

It wasn't fatal. We crashed into an odd looking house. I stepped out of the car and realized my driver was never there. I explored the structure and realized that it was a Chinese temple. There were faded photos of faces everywhere. I was in a cemetery.

Uncomfortable, I walked out of the cemetery to find myself in the woods. There was a clearing and as I came nearer, my blurred vision suddenly turned HD. I saw the wreck of an old pirate ship. It's mast collapsed into its stern. A dead whale strewn across the vast clearing and a boy, a shadow perhaps sitting on a nearby cliff with a hat on, fishing into nothingness.

As I observed my surroundings, I realized that this canyon was once a lake. It dried up milleniums ago and flora and fauna soon flourished in this beautiful setting.

The boy stood up and beckoned me to follow him, but, alas.... a phone call woke me up. I looked at my clock. 3:28pm.

I woke up to a cool and cloudy day. I couldn't understand why I was tired. It must have been due to my hectic schedule this past week. I decided not to swim today. There wasn't any class today anyways.

I walked to my balcony. I breathed in the fresh air. It's been a long time since I did that. Just marveling the wonders of our lives. Taking a breather, let time stop.

=)

I had my haircut today. After so many years, my fringe is now gone. Hahahaha. Oh well, what's done is done. No point complaining, I'll just try to love it.

Island creamery with the gang and Serene and Levin were drawing -.- We had a mud pie and I had cookies & cream and there we took another group photo. Third time we did that as a group. More to come!

Cine again after Ice-cream and we had Long John Silvers. I met Ning Zhen and Sabrina there. It was great catching up again. They were complaining how ugly I was being black and I looked better as a fair princess. AND, oh, Ning Zhen grew shorter. HAHAHA!

Decided to go home but at the eleventh hour, Gary and Anavil had no plans. We watched Simpsons in the end! OMG! It was a SUPER GREAT MOVIE! Even my two companions who never watched a series of the Simpsons were laughing with stitches. Ultimately is was an astounding cartoon comedy, environmentally and politically satirical.

Home now and I felt cheered up anyhow. Looked up at the stars just now. The skies so beautiful. Has anyone really stopped to marvel at them before? Have you?

It's a mug of milo and i'm off to bed. It's swimming again tomorrow and I'll be up fresh and happy.

Good night world. I love you all. AND, oh yes, it's five months to christmas. WHEE!

I'll stop now then.
We'll meet when we meet.
Promise?
=)
