Dreaming a Dream in my Dream
Ohaiyo, mina-san!
It's been like, centuries since I manage to sleep late and wake up late as well. It's like, about 11am right now and I just woke up(God, I'm such a pig). But nevertheless, it's certainly a pleasant thing labour day falls mid-exams, or you would've seen Sae look like an obese zombie.
Had a really, really weird dream last night. I dreamt that I was dreaming another dream. Yes, when I "woke up" from the dream I was dreaming in my dream, I asked people around me if I was dreaming, then they said no, as I saw them in the dream that I was dreaming in my dream. Finally I woke up and I realized I was dreaming, my dream's dream. Sounds totally insane. I shall not elaborate on the details of the dream because it was rather personal, I actually dreamt about being back in my home country and meeting people :/
And, it's like the fourth maid my grandma has now since last year. First one sent back for being too sickly, second one simply because grandma doesn't like her(but everyone got real attached to her). Third one for being er, stupid and forgetful(or so they say). And currently the new one seems pretty good so far, reminds us of the second one. Sometimes I honestly question is it the quality of the maid that is the issue, or is it the overly-judgemental attitude my family has? If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't change at all because I'm thankful to have people actually cleaning up the house and acting like an obedient servant who does all the chores that many people refuse to. My family is constantly in look out for bad traits of the maid, anything negative and they are blinded by it, regardless of what strengths the maid has. I personally thought it isn't just my family, many other people, in the world. What is it that makes them happy?
Sometimes we have more than enough to be happy with, yet once little issues pop up, life is all rotten roses and tears, simply because the other happiness they have in life seem so insignificant already. I believe it is not because life is sad that we are unhappy, it's because we neglect the happiness that life is sad. Why let unhappy issues take control of your life? It is your life, you live in - not anybody else. So maybe, happiness is really just a decision.
Yesterday night, I was on the way the Junction 8 from my grandma's place when I sms-ed Jeanette. I said, "Hey! There are stars tonight!" And to my surprise, Jeanette actually ran down her house to look the stars! That silly mama, but I can understand, stars are really that so common in Singapore. I asked her why and she said because stars are really gorgeous, the way they shine. That was when I thought about Thailand, where you see stars in seas, literally. I do not know why, but throughout the whole trip to buy supper back for grandma, I kept thinking about stars, why is it that in Thailand they aren't such a big deal while it is in Singapore. When there are too many stars, it becomes insignificant, nothing particularly stands out, it's just, beautiful. But in Singapore, the stars become really significant, because there are only a few, but that only makes them appear even brighter. However, when it rains, stars become rare. And I was thinking, when a person has a few friends in life, they become really significant, simply because you cherish them a lot. But when one has more and more friends, like the stars, does those whom you cherished lose their significance? People tend to forget about those that really cared, because they don't stand out anymore, we took them for granted. And that can be quite hurtful to them as well. You don't realize it until it rains, where only a few stars remain shining on for you. All your "friends" leave when problem comes. The world can laugh together with you, but few would stay and cry with you.
Oh dang! Meows x3 I thought I'm going to write random short posts but alas, that was not to be! So sorry! I guess I got pretty carried away. So well, yesterdays revelation has taken me a step further to understand the importance of these people in my life. To all, I love you.
