During the wee hours of the 26th of August 2008
The newspaper headlines read
“PRIME MINISTER RESIGNING TOMORROW”
So naturally, everyone was shocked. I remember seeing my eldest sister’s shocked expression. It was kind of chaotic too. Nothing too serious though.
Interestingly, he was going to resign to work at the border patrol. In my dream, I was picturing him in a navy blue uniform with a helmet and talking to illegal immigrants in a car, at night. He was smiling.
About 2 weeks before Syuhada’s return to Malaysia (winter at Aussie)
Me and the Pumpkins were in this wide, open space that was white. There was piano in the middle and we were playing around with it; Adlina and Lina trying out different songs. We were all laughing and having a good time. Suddenly I saw Syu and immediately hugged her and went all “I miss you! When did you come back?..” bla bla. She just kept quiet, nodded and smiled. I was like “This isn’t real isnt it?”. She replied, “No..” and shakes her head.
“And you’re not real either?”
(Purses lips and shakes head)
“So this really is just a dream?”
(With sorry face) “Yes..”
(Frowns) “But I’m gonna see you in a couple of weeks right? You sure you’re coming back?”
“Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry about that..”
“OK…”
We hugged for the last time.
And I woke up feeling very, very sad.
