The Dream of Death
As you look at the shelves of biographies that are showcased
to viewers at the library, most of these biographies explain their personal
experiences, thoughts and success. Yet, there is a minimal probability,
possibly none, that would tell a story on facing death.
I don’t have any suicidal intention but I want to diary this
moment, this dream, which I had gone through a few nights ago. I could not
vividly recall the whole chain of events but that few glimpse of thoughts make
me ponder whether that was the feeling of being at your deathbed.
All I could remember in my dream was that I was on a
hospital bed, pretty weak and sick. I
was unsure of what illness I had contracted. A few doctors were around my bed
and they were having a discussion about something.
The next instance, a doctor actually inserted a needle,
possibly as thick as a mini straw (that’s big and painful) onto my right foot.
That pinch could be felt, as if it was real. In a few seconds, I had
difficulties breathing and seconds later, my heart collapsed. I could feel the
suffocation compared to a few moments ago, where I was breathing regularly, yet
the next moment, I stopped breathing.
I tried hard to gasp for some air but to no avail. Nothing
went into my nose or mouth. My whole body was frozen like an ice cube,
forbidding me to make further movements. The doctors around me became panicked
and were trying to resuscitate me.
The next thing that I knew was I had opened my eyes, finding
myself in my own room. I know it was a
nightmare but it was too real to be true. Then, questions start flooding my
mind. I asked, “Is this how death takes place for each person?”
It is a must for every single living thing to encounter
death, some once, and others numerous times. Yet, that makes me understand more
about cherishing others, as well as myself. Thus, learn to cherish every day as
life is unpredictable.
That’s, what I just wish to share.

24th Birthday
When you grow older, you just realised how swift time past. The months passed like days and the next instance, you got to know that your birthday is around the corner. Yet, I have to emphasize, I'm still at my early 20s, which means, I am still young. =P
On the day of my birthday, messages from Facebook, Watsapp and SMS flooded me with joyous wishes from friends and close ones. Indeed, I felt extremely blessed for the wishing, since I rarely get to see them, and most of us were just casual 'hi-bye' friends. Anyway, thanks for the wishes, peeps!
Thanks for my family members accompany to K-Box that late afternoon, followed by a nice Ashton dinner. Seriously, its been a very long time since I hear my sister sang in front of me and I believed, we did make a good duet when it comes to love songs.
If the actual birthday was something nice, then I guess, the day after my birthday was amazing, splendid, wonderful and blah blah blah.
I met up with darling Shu Yun to Gardens By the Bay. Sadly, the weather was scorching humid that we had no choice but to change the plans for the day. We ended up doing window shopping at Marina Bay Sands. At least, it was fun and we saved money.
We managed to catch a movie shortly after the shopping at Plaza Singapura, to catch "Ice Age 4". The movie was awesome, with lots of funny stuff. Once movie ended, we head to Fish and Co along Penang Street for dinner.
Initially, based on my understanding, it was just a dinner between the 2 of us. However, as I went to the 2nd storey of the two level premise, I discovered there were familiar faces at a long table. First, I noticed Pauline, followed by Teck Leong and getting a glance at the faces around the table, there were Singthesis members! Cool!
I really didn't notice that Jeremy and gang were sitting at the rear end and seriously, I was stunned to see such a surprise. Speechless but was quite happy to have everyone's participation.
The celebration continues with the feast while I tried to be the host, helping them to collate their orders. The birthday cake shortly arrived and my face was covered with a creamy mess. It looks horrendous if one sees the pictures. I would just laugh whenever I see the picture of my eyes covered with cream. Thats how awesome yet scary for birthdays.
After the treat, it was a little drinking session, also known as an ice breaker session as everyone get to introduce themselves to one another. Of course, I was tipsy after a few drinks but still survived, awake and moving.
Thanks to my darling Shu Yun for organising the birthday bash, taking care of me when I'm drunk and the tons of surprises that you had planned for me. ♥
Also, I appreciate the guests for turning up; Singthesis as well as Jeremy and gang. Your presence means alot for me in this celebration.
Well, the aftermath of the celebration came with a little romance between Xiu and Xing. What's the story behind it? I have no idea but all I could say is, love is in the air during the celebration. =)
