Everyday I'm dreaming

Ok....I'm a little concerned here.
I am beginning to notice that I am having a dream almost every day since last week.
Must be coz when I am still dreaming and half-awake stage(you know,when your dream gets interrupted by the damn alarm or sunlight), I realise I can remember a fair bit of the dream.

Well,last night I had a 2 part dream..sort of.
The first part consisted of me playing some golf on a course, and finding golf not too easy at all.
Perhaps it's coz I was using just an iron for all my shots, with a jet black club-head and shaft (I thought it looked real cool in my dream)
Naturally, I struggled with my game, and of course as a gentleman of the game, you let other golfers who've caught up pass you by while you slowly make your way to the green.
Mind you, the chaps that passed me were quite courteous.No condescending remarks at all.
Just a "thank you" and walk by.
This thing about this dream is that I could really feel the weight of the iron and the action of swinging the club and connecting with the ball to land it near the pin. Very real dreams indeed.

The 2nd part is a little more vague.
perhaps not much mention needed...but what happened is this:
Scene: Bunch of people gathered around a desk, with a whiteboard behind it. Now this whiteboard will show you your numbers and who you will be rooming with (for what I don't know)
Guess who I got?
NICKI MINAJ! ahahahahah!
Now I attribute this to the fact that I was viewing her videos on youtube an hour or so before sleeping.
So definitely, my recent memories have been included in my dreamworld.
Fascinating stuff isn't it?

Any dreams you've had lately folks?

dlogs (like, for Dream Blogs yo)

what better way to start posting again than to have an online archive of the weird crap that happens when the eyes close and the mind starts going into fantasyland

This is one from the night of the 26th I think
I dreamt that I was in highschool and recess time is almost over (hitting 2pm), but I haven't eaten yet.
so are 2 of my classmates. But one of them says, "nah, let's just go eat. If they catch us, then we'll say we're sorry lor"
So there we were off to recess.
I went to the store that sorta sells the "yong tau foo" kinda stuff.
and boy did I take my time selecting my stuff.very indecisive then
finally when I did get my food, I went over to where my friends were sitting. They were already digging into a bowl of curry laksa each.
The End

This is one from the night of the 28th
so yday I dreamt I was at a pals wedding at some place, and I was commenting that no one's after me. then the person I was speaking to at my table mentions there's someone eager to talk to me and points left. To which a cute girl is there looking like she's bursting to tell me something. So when I chatted with her,suddenly I'm taking her flying ala Peter Pan style.
seriously....anyone good at deciphering dreams?


This is the night of the 29th
so yesterday, I had a completely random dream again
but I can't remember much
Involved my sis n I running through abandoned terrain to our car, parked in a multi-level car-park..to put money into the damn parking meter.
We were just outta time by the time we reached our car.
like, literally just meters away, the damned thing started blinking *countdown to 4:02..4:01..4:00(starts blinking)*
care to explain folks?


let's see what I come up with tonight!

Exile in New Zealand: The triangle of life

There are a lot of disasters these days.

None more so than the shifting of tectonic plates (Earthquakes folks)

We Malaysians are absolutely lucky to not have many natural disasters.

But that does not stop us from reaching out to those that may suffer from them.

Please share this information.

It could save lives.

EXTRACT FROM DOUG COPP'S ARTICLE ON 'THE TRIANGLE OF LIFE'

My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI ), the world's most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.

I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years, and have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous disasters.

The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under its desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene -- unnecessary.

Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them - NOT under them. This space is what I call the 'triangle of life'. The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings, on television, count the 'triangles' you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building.

TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY

1) Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' when building collapse are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a bed, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different 'moment of frequency' (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

8) Get near the outer walls of buildings or outside of them if possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

Spread the word and save someone's life...

The entire world is experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!

'We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly'

In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul, University of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside. Ten mannequins did 'duck and cover,' and ten mannequins I used in my 'triangle of life' survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions , relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck and cover.

There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the 'triangle of life.' This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe, and it was seen in the USA , Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV.

Exile in New Zealand: The triangle of life

The Tragedy of Humanity

It is perhaps the greatest tragedy of being human when one convinces oneself that the person they love is indeed not in love with them at all.
And thus, one remains silent about it, leaving feelings unsaid.

In other news
I was strolling in pavilion today looking to grab some bread for my teatime and I was looking forward to a spicy meatfloss bun from breadstory
Now,I couldn't find it, and neither did the other store, Lavender have it(lavender had a spicy meatfloss roll.not as nice i think)
where have all the meatfloss buns gone?are they not in production anymore?it is scandalous to think that they are discontinuing the product which has brought much joy and satisfaction to yours truly.
bollocks.
I settled for a sausage bun and a chicken roll bun.not half bad.but nowhere near as blissful as TWO spicy meatfloss buns. what a suck day.

Rounding up the weekend.
I washed and polished my car with my own hands (well,mum and dad did help lots)
ZOMG. Yep. Hard labour.
Did it.
Actually thought it was quite nice.
Will I do it again?
Well,next weekend I should wash, polish and wax.
I'll pay someone to do it, unless I can get a waxing machine.
Coz boy,polishing my car takes a bit outta me, and even then I didn't get a fair amount of stains off(not enough elbow grease..bleah)

A friend of mine got married on Sat!
And this time, I went in proper attire,as my last wedding attendance turned out into a fashion faux pas (shorts n slippers. but I did wear a long sleeved shirt!Sorry Alina!)

This just in.
I did a bit of swimming today.finally!
Yes,I do know how to swim. didn't drown or swallow loads of water(just once or twice my timing was off)
It's like riding a bike.
Of course,most of it was the frogstyle(easiest and least tiring)
when I went freestyle....boy does that take a bit of energy!
I am quite out of shape!

Peering into the future.
In Mont Kiara, I has an event for my cardmembers.
Anyone else wanna buy a RM6mil-ish penthouse there?I can hook you up!
you get RM150k Bang & Olufsen electronic products for free!(I am told it is a grand total of 3 units. I guess 2 speakers and a subwoofer.Or 1 speaker, a sub, and a remote)
and pretty damn good home financing from Maybank as well!(judging from the reaction of the sales manager when she heard it)
So buy with Maybank loans.
Can I get some commission outta this?

What's after this?
Well, just build my fitness bit by bit. I am quite in the mood for another good swim session tomorrow.
but my board shorts are kinda wet, and it ain't fun pulling on a wet pair of board shorts when u wanna swim.just kills the mood man.
But I shall see...I shall see...
I should, shouldn't I?

Immediately now
I hunger.
time to pop something and down it all with good ol' water.
Then I tire
Will sleep after this.
Nites!

Dreams are not for the faint hearted

Ever think about your dreams?
I'm talking about the goals in your life.
The BIG PICTURE

Maybe it's a little dream, like "I will get into shape this year"

or a big one like, "I want to be a billionaire"

or an even bigger one "I want to teach Generation Z that books are better than computers"

or a downright funny one: "I vow to be less vague about stuff"

Having a get together with my friends and talking a little about goals in life got me coining this awesome quote that I thought of on the spot.

"Dreams are not for the faint hearted"
(Googled it as well just to make sure. such is the power of Google)

Because, to pursue your dreams, you're gonna need alot of hard work, sacrifice(time, social life, relationships), yada yada yada, especially if you've taken the path of a professional (doctor, lawyer, accountant)
You're thinking that perhaps you may not have it all like a loving spouse, 2 kids, big house with lawn, a dog,excellent social life, and when you have achieved the dreams in your life and you look beside you to find..your cell phone/blackberry buzzing away to tell you that you are needed in surgery/the boardroom..you're gonna feel empty inside.

But trust yourself that those are achievable ALONG the way of pursuing your dreams.
Some CAN have it all.Why not you?
Perhaps those who have it all understand the give and take of life, or those once consumed with work understood that they have achieved enough to walk away from the job to start a different dream.

As I posted a motivational picture before

"If you are looking for the love of your life, stop;
They will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love"

 Perhaps in ways much more different than you dreamed of, I might add

What is my dream?
Well,ask me over a cup of tea, and then I'll tell you my big picture.

Ever think before you speak?

When I heard this from my colleague (a certain fag called Ady)
I told him, this is so going on my blog (welcome 21st century)

Context (talking about his family chiropractor who has corrected him, his dad, his mom)
Quote:he even did my girlfriend!

Bravo champ, Bravo.

Time to make a few enemies

Just watched The Social Network, and I must say it's pretty damn good.
It is very true,that the measure of power is not who your friends are, but who your enemies are.
I wonder how accurate it is though

Perhaps one of the passing messages in the entire movie that struck me the most is, when Mark mentioned in the early part(when narrating) that students go to Harvard to make jobs, not to work in them.

Which of course is easier said than done.

Lets create jobs
