Dream

19th April 09

So this morning i had a dream and I would like to talk about it..

i remembered that i was at home, and i decided to go play ball.. it was raining outside until around 5.30 evening and after the rain stopped, i went out to play ball.. when i reached there, i only saw Chai and another guy..

the court was like beside a coffee house and at that moment, Chai was in the coffee house. then i asked where are other people.. then people start coming in and we didn't play ball in the end. we yum cha-ed.. among the people there whom i remember is rachel, zheng zoe, shawn, kin yip, mun kiat and sook yeen. so we ordered food, and yes.. i think we played scrabble there..

i was sitting beside kin yip and asked him whether he got any target or not now.. XD.. then he told me got.. i asked him to show me her picture.. he took out his phone and started showing me her picture (i actually still remember the picture or the girl.. vaguely, but the image still there.. freaky owhkay..). unfortunately for him, the pictures he showed me is picture of the girl with another guy.. she has a bf.. XD XD

then after makan-ing, time to pay bill.. they all started to take out RM 10 notes and Rm 50 notes.. and put on the table.. and i remember saying 'i know u all got money.. but no need 'tat' me like that 1'.. seriously, there are awful load of money on the table after they took out their money..

then took the money and proceed to the counter.. the bill came out to RM 2000.. sweat.. eat a little only but the payment so expensive.. so check the bill y so expensive.. they charge us for playing scrabble as well.. SWT!!! like 1 word we make RM 150.. (or something like that la.. XD) bottomline is, we need to pay cause we played scrabble... ridiculous right?

anyhow we paid and left.. zoe followed me to my car to take his umbrella.. the car where i parked was near a night market and after taking the umbrella, me and zoe went to night market.. that's all i remembered when i woke up.. guahaha..

Since i just read about dream in my biopsych book.. might as well flaunt my knowledge a bit right? because my prefrontal cortex is inhibited, my dream is pretty much without restriction (cause prefrontal cortex doesn't come and say 'wait that's not possible').. therefore explaining the charge for scrabble and the court beside coffee shop..

when i woke up, i felt a sense of emotional connection cause long time didn't see my friends dy.. my amgydala might be responsible for that cause during REM sleep, amgydala is stimulated..

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

April 6, 2009

Today i watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was a movie full of growing up, growing old, and especially filled with deaths. This movie would be a great movie for a developmental class. hahaha

I am going to select a few scenes which i particularly remember.

The show started with Daisy, an old lady, who is the lead female character. She was laying on the hospital bed.. dying pretty soon. Her daughter, Caroline (hopefully it's the correct spelling) was there with her. Caroline looked at her mother and asked her "Are you scared?"

Daisy replied "I am curious.... I am curious at what's going to happen next". And that got my mind thinking a lil..

In another scene, Benjamin finally found his biological dad. Benjamin was abandoned when he was little and halfway through the show, the dad told him that he was his son. When Benjamin's dad was about to die, Benjamin brought him to a lake where his dad used to see the sunrise when he was little. There his dad died and Benjamin pondered upon these words

"You can be as mad as a mad dog. And curse at fate. But when the end comes, you have to let go"

And he's true. we have to let go when the end comes.

Realization

Suddenly they woke up one day and start to think what they have done their whole life. This sudden realization might lead to a change of mindset, realizing that they haven't really done anything. This realization would lead them to rethink about basic assumptions that they have about their own life. No longer is money important.. of course money is important to sustain life, but you will realize then that you cannot bring money to death (Goh, 2009)

I once thought to myself "if i die now, would i have any regrets?" the conclusion i came to was pretty much a 'no' cause to me i think my life is quite satisfactory. have lived it the way it would be. so if i were to die now, i would be pretty much contented.

but this morning, i woke up with a totally new perspective. maybe it's a revelation from God. hahaha.. yes, i might be happy and satisfied and die with no regrets if i die now... but what if it's not me who is dying? what if it's the person i love who is dying.. would i regret then? for not spending enough time with him/her? for not treasuring the moment i have? the conclusion i came to is 'yes'.

so i guess i shall take my time starting now to appreciate the person around me. i am starting it now by saying 'hi' to my msn contact whom they are there but i don't normally talk to them. Maybe you can start it too.. :)

God Bless~
