^_^ Funny or not ah?!?!? *hehe*
It happened when my alarm rang the first time which is about 7:05am and I snoozed it to continue my sleep for 9mins. When my second alarm rang, I think I turn it off cos’ thinking I’ll be waking up in few minutes time but nope *giggles* All because of my slight headache la… blame it all to the headache.
Here’s how my dream starts.
I was in a classroom (looks like during my high school days with the wooden tables and students in class). Can’t really remember who are those involved in my dream… especially those in the classroom. I was sitting alone and all of a sudden a guy came and started teaching me how to use a machine that works like a duplicator and its bit complicated. Couldn’t seem to understand how it works and I find it complicated, not willing to do the job (this reminds me of sometimes we the Christians don’t accept or don’t like changes at all cos’ we’re too comfy with what we have or where we are now). Later, my mind started to wander around.
Just few minutes later, a friend asked to go out for a break and to catch some fresh air, so I followed. Ideas started to poured out by some of my friends, wanting to skip school and go do something fun or travel to somewhere near. I was pretty excited to hear that and longing for it and I asked, “When?” “Now!” they replied. Without any hesitation I said, “OK! Let’s go.”
There were only a handful of us, including myself and we were in a car driving along the road… don’t know where to head to. Some said go Port Dickson and some said go to some other beaches. Someone mention that there’s a nice resort (can’t remember the name… shucks!), so we drive to that resort to have a lookout.
We reached that place but we couldn’t drive in, so we need to walk to reach the resort, passing by sandy beach. We haven’t really reached the foyer of the resort; we were already amazed by the sands and the sea. Someone called me, “Gie! Come quickly… there’s lots of fishes here.” I was rushing there not wanting to miss it and I nearly fell into the sea. The water was actually very shallow (knee deep only). I remembered asking my friend, “How deep is the water?” “Nah! Not really deep, just the knee”, he replied. I walked towards him and he showing me the fish that he caught on his hand… it was a sea fish, it has blue strips. “Can I try? Does it bite?” I asked. “Nope.” He replied. It was such a delight that I’m holding a fish. I looked around as I let the fish go, the pool is like you’re inside the sea… you can see the different corals and different fishes.
As I was walking back heading towards the resort foyer, I saw a palm size fish flapping its body cos’ it was on dry land. I wanted to take it with my palm but afraid that the fish might stink me so I walked around searching for something to help transfer that poor fish to the sea. I found a thick book and I scooped that fish up, I walk so fast and on the other hand being careful cos’ afraid the fish might drop on the ground. I couldn’t reach the place where I first saw the fishes cos’ the fish was flapping itself towards the edge, I saw there’s a drain look-a-like by the side and I quickly drop it. I was a little worried of that fish that I left in the drain and afraid that it may not survive without food but when I looked down, the drain was filled with other fishes too. I was happy to see the fish swimming again.
After that, me and my other friends started walking towards the resort (we have to walk in a line cos’ the trail is very narrow), I looked in front; I saw the sand was blue in color. I was shocked (partially excited), so I looked back, the rest of the sands were all in blue. Pastel blue to sky blue – like different tone. All of us walked faster towards the resort, and started touching the sand. I was playing with the sand and couldn’t believe what I saw. I was telling myself, “How I wish I have a bottle to keep the sand…” And there, I woke up. When I woke up, I suddenly thought “Aiya… I should have taken picture of the fishes, the blue sand and the sea! What a waste!” Know why I say that… because my mobile is with me all the time in my pocket. *haha*
When I think back of my dream, I still feel amazed by God’s creation. Heart sank by God’s work, making this earth that we’re staying so beautiful and wonderfully made. Although it’s just a dream… but to me… it’s the best dream that I ever had (besides the previous dream about a huge hotel overlooking beautiful scenery). God is just awesome.
Foo, 32, alleges that she saw a group of five men, several of them in Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) uniform, beating a dog and forcing it out through the railings of a locked gate.
“I heard a dog yelping in pain as I was taking my walk, and went to investigate what was going on.
“What I saw made my blood turn cold as several of the men had climbed over the gate into the premises of the locked empty house and were hitting a dog which had taken shelter there,” she said.
Since the gate was locked, the men proceeded to drag the medium-sized dog out through the narrow railings of the gate, she alleged.
“The railings began to graze and cut the dog in the mouth and ear region and there was a lot of blood, and the frightened dog was screaming in pain,” alleged Foo tearfully.
Foo said she approached the men who scolded her for interfering and threatened to compound her for obstructing them.
“They also began to use more force on the poor dog after I had approached them,” alleged Foo, who added that she believed that the dog was not a stray as it was wearing a collar chain.
Distraught and not knowing what to do, Foo contacted several other independent dog rescuers, who immediately called Selangor executive councillor in charge of local councils Ronnie Liu, who advised them to lodge a police report.
Foo lodged a report at the Puchong police station and rushed to the MPSJ dog pound located not very far from the area.
“What I saw there only depressed me further as the dog was locked up in the pound, bleeding and in pain,’’ alleged Foo.
When contacted, MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan said he would look into the matter as well as speak to the relevant officers.
Meanwhile, Foo and several other independent rescuers are working towards getting the injured dog out of the MPSJ dog pound in Puchong to send it for treatment.
Said one of the rescuers, Leigh Chen, who had rushed with Foo to look for the dog at the pound after it had been brought there: “This dog has undergone a traumatic and merciless ordeal at the hands of the council dog catchers.
“Given this, it is only fair that this unfortunate dog be given a chance to live the rest of its canine life in a loving home after it has been treated for its gruesome injuries.”
Chen added that she hoped municipal council dog catchers and their appointed agents would not resort to cruelty when capturing strays.
“We, the animal rescuers, plead with those who deal with strays to do their job with a sense of compassion coupled with the realisation that animals, too, know fear and pain, just like us human beings,” added Chen.

Randomly found this lovely song from a Pro-Photographer website. He did it for his clients wedding montage.
Can't find this song over the internet. Hopefully I can buy the CD at Tower Records or any shop.
Manage to download it in one of the websites. *haha* Naughty me. Well, I did went to look for it at Speedy cos was at Ikano having dinner lastnite but couldn't find. Took me some time to find this song (after my dinner) and also took me awhile to download it - darn slow (downloading it while I took a short nap). Lyrics is really good.
Lovely lyrics...

Song title: On This Day
(Verse)
Here we stand today
Like we always dreamed
Starting out our lives together
Light is in your eyes
Love is in our hearts
I can't believe you're really mine forever
(Bridge)
Been rehearsing for this moment all my life
So don't act surprised
If the feelings starts to carry me away
(Chorus)
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrendered my heart
Here I stand, take my hand
And I will honor every word that I say
On this day
(2nd Verse)
Not so long ago
This earth was just a field,
Of cold and lonely space Without you
Now everything's all right
Now everything's refill
And the story of my life
Is all about YOU
For if you feel the cold winds
Blowing through your nights
I will shelter you and forever
Here to chase your fears away
(Chorus)
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrendered my heart
Here I stand, take my hand
And I will honor every word I say
On this day
(2nd Bridge)
ooh I've been rehearsing for this moment all my life
So don't act surprised
If the feelings starts to carry me away
(2nd Chorus)
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrendered my heart
Here we stand like I God planned
Please say you'll always look at me this way
Like on this day..
** Made a little change on the 2nd Chorus, decided to change "I" to "God". It sounded nicer when you sing. Ahh.. this song is so nice and meaningful... never bored listening to it. Wanna get HF to sing this song on a special day... lovely.. really lovely..
