Slumber Stories

Between 12-6 am 29/6/2007

Ok this was scary. You know how people go "Ooo.. aaa.." when they watch ‘Transformers’ or the trailer. I do to.

But unconsciously it scared me shitless.

I was going to this mall and I saw this life sized robot exactly like the one in ‘Transformers’ walking into the mall. The entrance was empty and I was hidden behind a wall so he didnt see me.

But serious as frikkin hell I was so afraid.

You know how sometimes creatures walk this kind of menacing walk and you just already know 100% for sure they want to bite off your limbs? (Example: alien from video of birthday party in the movie ‘Signs’)

Yes, that’s how I felt. I ran into an elevator, hoping to warn the mall security, but the elevator was so SLOW. Practically didnt move! So I just pushed the open button and got to the floor where there was an opening in the middle (like for a stage or promo). I JUST opened my mouth to scream, suddenly one side of the mall burst and the transatanformer i saw earlier had grown mall size and was terrorizing the mall. Everyone was screaming and running and it was just havoc, chaos everywhere!!!!!

There was a Habib Jewels store. Ok this H.J freakishly had more diamonds & was shinier than usual. Weirdly, in the midst of all the thrashing and breaking, the most fragile of shops with the most valuable items didnt even tremble, and didnt have a single scratch.

What else man??!! I hid in there la! I sat behind a counter, praying hard, looking into the mirrors to see if the robot came my way, my heart pounding, pounding, pounding…. then I woke up.

I dont know what to make out of this dream, especially when I’m going to watch the movie tomorrow.

Last week of June 2007

I won’t lie to you. I’ve been having dreams about Puteri Mahsuri & my sailing friends. Many times. It’s my brains way of blowing off the missing feeling I have for them.

I don’t dream of anything interesting nowadays and the same goes to my Mahsuri dreams. I dream of our usual routine; waking at 6, morning exercise, colours, happy hour, mast climbing, laughing, blabla.

But a few nights ago it was horrid. (no monsters! keep reading)

Suddenly I was on tween deck. Everyone was shuffling about, panicing. It was our last day & our cabins were being inspected for the last time. I think only Abg Kiddo was inspecting because Abg Jack was lying on floor half asleep like a cat in the sun.

Izhar appeared from one of the cabins followed by Abg Kiddo. Abg Kiddo said

"Awak punye ke ni?" (shows teaspoon)

"Ye,ye"

"Abang jumpa dalam laci. Lepas ni kena tau"

"Aa ok ok"

They both left, walking in opposite directions. Izhar disappeared from the rest of the dream. Abg Kiddo went on inspecting cabins. I think I saw Ridha go past me. Abg Jack called for us, but only a few came (among them Eleena) we walked into the saloon. We sat with Abg Jack on the floor. I think about 10 of us.

Abg Jack was talking about something in a way he always talked right before he laughed out loud. But this time he didn’t laugh. He went on rambling about the inspection as usual (cannot leave trash la, hair la, dust la). Some one asked Abg Jack

"Kalau tak (follow instructions) camne?"

"Kalau tak, awak kena kerja dengan DBKL, jadi pengutip sampah for the rest of your life"

*Shocked faces from everyone*

"Yes, that’s how it is"

And it ended. I tried to interpret this dream, but couldn’t figure it out. So my conclusion is, in my dreams, I wish for Izhar to work as orang kutip sampah.

No offence kecik, you’d make a ‘hensem’ DBKL guy.
