SMILE
And that's the reason why I missed school yesterday morning.
OK I know I'm not the most keen student out there who zealously attends every single lecture but that's totally beside the point.
If I have to tell you why I skipped class, it's definitely because of the dream. It's the best I've ever had, because it's so good that it ended right at the very best part, and the moment I woke up realizing it's just a dream (I don't know about you but I can rarely tell a dream is just a dream while I'm dreaming) instead of having that sour feeling cuz it's over plus why wasn't that real, how disappointing etc etc - I actually put a big smile on my face. Literally.
And I don't really recall something like that happening before to me - waking up with a big smile.
Of course I wanted it to continue. By falling asleep as fast as I could of course. Maybe it'd lead to something even nicer. But sadly the dream didn't go on - at least not that I can remember now - the dream just ended right there.
But truth is, it's still a dream that I can still recall 2 days later, and can still smile when I think of it, and that's good enough for me.
And this bliss all came from two words - "It's OK."
And then a gesture following those words.
How I wish that could come true. I really mean it this time by saying I want this dream to come true.
But I look at this world when I'm not dreaming/day dreaming nothing has changed.
Nuff of that. I'm also happy cuz of the stuff I got today:
Haven't watched the whole thing yet but I have to say it's a really great show. It's packed with surprises that make the show the greatest comeback show you could ask for from these 4 lads. I thought they might just belt out all their hits, with some choreography - but the show actually offers much more that that.
This CD was released in 2005, and I've never heard of this band until recently I heard their song 'How To Save A Life' and liked it enough to decide to sample their album, and I like the samples enough to actually buy it. It sounds VERY Hot AC radio, VERY guitar/piano rock, VERY 'Grey's Anatomy/*insert your favorite TV show here*', VERY Switchfoot (that lead vocals!) - basically an album I wish Switchfoot would make earlier on - more piano, more melodic, less noise etc.
Perhaps I'll call this a rather macho way of crooning. Unlike Coldplay - because Coldpay is not macho.
All in all a rather solid album that I'll like for a while. I discover that I've been listening to too much Europop recently I need some AC stuff to balance it off a bit.
AND, while I was preparing to pay $99 for the album at HMV, I saw a one and only copy with a $89 copy in the pile. Exactly identical to the $99 copies. Same US version, same FBI warning, same tracklist.
Sometimes things like this can actually make you happy.
Today went to visit the little girl whom I've known since she's born. I saw her at the hospital, she was so small, but so big at the same time - because she's above 95% weight and height ever since she's born.
As part of my assignment I need to visit her every year to see how she grows and what impacts she has on her family etc.
Last visit was a year ago. She could cruise around a bit. She made a lot of sounds. She's one curious kid. She liked playing with me. She handed me a lot of things, because she likes to share. She even shared her nappy with me, after fetching a clean nappy from her own green little bag which she knew contained her precious, unused, clean, probably quite comfy, nappies.
Today I visited her again. She's now 4 years old. And she can talk. In very complete sentences that's quite articulate and very understandable and coherent. It's unbelievable what influence 1 year's time can have on a child. The first thing I asked her was whether she remembers us. She said 'Yes.'
And from that moment on I knew she's grown into a really charming little girl. She speaks a lot. She introduces her toys to us. She plays with her toys. She builds and destroy things. She fetches a sketch book and start sketching things. She takes out her books and demonstrates that she does know a bit of alphabets although she did confuse small cap 'b' with 'd' and 'q' with 'p'. But she has no problems with 'B' and 'D', 'Q' and 'P'. She's a smart little girl who said I'm a 'sor gwa' the reason being that I have moustache (I don't want to use this word because this sounds like I'm growing a beard but I'm not. But what other vocabs can I use?). I lift her up as high as I could and she enjoys this 'flying' experience. She asked me to do it again, and again, and again, and again...
She's still very eager to share. This time not her nappies though, but her books instead. She tells me she knows English, Chinese, and PTH and mathematics. But I bet she doesn't really know PTH. And oh, she told me she's big and she eats a lot and poo a lot too. After saying she poos a lot she giggles. I said she's a 'silly pig'. She giggles some more.
She definitely knows this world. Her mommy says she sometimes refuse playing with a few children saying she 'doesn't like them'. She also refuses to play with those who attempted to pull tricks on her when she was 1 year old. Maybe she remembers what happened, maybe she doesn't. But somehow she knows how to use her instinct.
It got a bit too late and we had to leave. Mommy asked her to give us a kiss. I asked 'can I get a kiss from you then?' She said, 'Of course'. Then she gave me a kiss on the cheek.
To her maybe she's known me merely for 2 hours. Or maybe she knows she's know me a 'life time'. But she's really one special kid.
it's all an illusion there's too much confusion down down down with your heart find find find the secret turn turn turn your head around baby we can do it we can do it alright do you believe in love at first sight it's an illusion i don't care do you believe i can make you feel better too much confusion come on over here can we get together i really i really want to be with you come and check it out with me i hope you i hope you feel the same way too...
