Dreams Episode 11

Day of dream: two nights ago
Setting: NUS High School
Story:
Not much of a story here... But it is a beautiful and blissful one! ^^

I finished my studio art pieces, done with them forever and ever. They had been moved to somewhere, and were no longer in the dirty and dusty studio. It was a day of joy and bliss.

I walked to the canteen. The area behind the theatrette, where the fitness corner is, was replaced by a hill. In my dream, I thought it had always been there, but nobody did anything to the plain old, muddy hill. But that day, the hill was planted with sunflowers. Those big ones that can turn the brown hill to a warm yellow. It was so beautiful, I ran into it and sat there, among the sunflowers, and felt bliss as I stare and did nothing more.


Note: I was trying to rush out art pieces and finish everything this week. Always, this dream came before the marked exam papers did.

Dreams Episode 10

Day of dream: this afternoon
Setting: swimming pool
Story:

There was canoe polo training and I was slightly late. I arrived, seeing some new players who are joining us for fun, including Margaret, and Lynn. They, with Yingzhen and coach, were at the side of the pool where I came in from. They were just hanging around and seemed like they were practising rolling too (Yingzhen only). I asked them if they were. Yingzhen asked me to get into my boat in her cheeky tone.

While I was getting into my boat, coach asked me to take a ball and shoot, with Lian Han as the keeper, and Lian Han will try capping me. I was like okay, since I had been thinking about practising recovery. Got a ball, and sort of drove in. The next scene was a blur. I either got capped really hard, and managed to get up, with the ball still in my arms. Or my boat collided with something (probably the keeper) and I kinda had a concussion.

Anyway, I ended up on the other end of the pool, feeling quite faint (I have no idea how that can happen in a dream). Yingzhen got out of her boat and checked on me. After awhile, I recovered. Yingzhen told me that Fiona joined us then too. So I paddled/swam toward the group (every was there), found Fiona, and poked her...

Scene 2 --
After training, a friend and I decided to go swimming. My friend was swimming at the swallower end, while I plunged into the depper end, with my kayak. After swimming for awhile, I noticed the water level at the deeper end was dropping. It turned out that the depth of the pool was determined by steps, gigantic steps (the deepest end was really really deep). I had to climb the steps (without my kayak, thank goodness), to reach my friend and get out of the pool. It was difficult, but I kept climbing... Although I did not see myself reaching my friend or getting out of the pool.

Scene 3 --
A visual image of the design of the pool. The water for the pool came from the ceiling. It just so happened that I am in the water-pathway, when I was climbing. The pressure alone could have crushed my skull...

Torturing People Part 15

Plaster Facial

Suggested materials
1 pink fluffy couch-bed
Cleansing foam
Incense -- rose
Tissue paper
Plaster power
Water

Steps:
1. Convince your victim to lie down on the absolutely cozy pink fluffy couch-bed, which shouldn't be too hard. (If you fail this, you should really reconsider visitn this blog for tortures again.)
2. Brief your victim on the scheme: a unique facial. (whihc is true)
3. Cleanse your victim's face with cleansing foam.
4. Prepare the mask: Prepare a bowl of water, add plaster powder a little bit at a time, until saturation (plaster powder no longer sink).
5. Light the rose incense.
6. Place a layer of tissue on his/her face.
7. Gently apply the mask on your victim's face. Ensure that there is a layer of tissue between the skin and the plaster.
8. Leave it for 3 hours (the longer the better).
9. Remove mask, and convince your victim the dryness on the skin is the desired effect (which is true, for you, not your victim).

Note: The dry feeling your victim will feel is real. It's the itchy, dry, and I-don't-want-to-touch-it kind. It is REALLY subtle. ^^ But don't worry, it'll heal... in time...

Dreams Episode 9

Day of dream: last night
Setting: Brent International School's swimming pool
Story:
It was suppose to be canoe polo training (because everyone, including coach, were there), but we don't have any canoe, or canoe polo balls. We were practicing swimming. That is not the weirdest thing, although we don't usually waste precious pool time on swimming, but it does help build our stamina. Anyway, the weirdest thing was that I was wearing a bikini (I don't have one at the time being, and I would NEVER wear it for 'heavy duty' like trainings and serious swimming). Okay the second weirdest was... Well... the top just slid off... (that was just PURE embarrassment) Anyway, the inside of the bikini is this horrible bright blue (triangles) and striking red (circles) DON'T ASK, which I personally feel, at that point of time, are two terrible colors and one horrifying color combination. And the worst thing was, I kinda jumped out of the pool without my top... Although nobody saw it (I think... I hope... Let's believe so).

Okay so much for the embarrassment and the worst parts of the dream... I got the top back on, and got out fo the pool. Everyone else (most of them anyway) were at the edge of the pool. I practiced my diving, but did this extra little flip (no jumping), and achieved the diving flip that I always wanted! (Which I think is the best part of this dream) Then my coach, who was at the edge of the pool as well, said that to do those fancy diving stunts, that was the way to do it, and I just have to add a little jump to it.

And that concludes this dream.

Dreams Episode 8

Day of dream: last night
Setting: ice caves, Arctic
Story:
It was like a virtual television, showing Martin Mystery, and I am experiencing it too.

Martin was off on a mission to investigate a case at the Arctic. I was certain it was him because of his jacket. Anyway, it started off in an ice-cave, beside a water body (cold, obviously), and he had to dive into it. A certain species was dying off/disappearing mysteriously. So he dived in, with his jacket (I can feel the chill too), and swam (I have no idea how he managed to hold his breath for so long.

Suddenly there was a lady in diving gears swimming around, to see if there were any intruders. So Martin hid behind some rocks. When she was gone, he continued swimming. After awhile, another diver was swimming around, with this gear in his hand that can detect a human presence (by their auras?). I felt Martin's panicking as the diver swam closer...

The diver swam past, and Martin emerged from the bush of jellyfishes he was hiding in. I felt the texture on my skin, the milky-white jellyfish' soft cotton-like touch. And then disgust, when Martin realized that some of them seemed like they were rotting. Those 'rotting' ones were black, the leaking-crude-oil-kind of black.

Martin continued swimming, and reached this place where there were plenty of ice-columns. And there were quite a few people standing on each. These people were beautiful, at least they should be so once. Some of them looked a little wobbly, a little out of form, but their skins were really beautiful. Turned out they were made from the assemblage of the white jellyfishes.

There was a metal platform that seemed to connect to land above, and continuously produced the black jellyfishes, a few at a time. The black jellyfishes were strong, and they were feeding on/polluting the white jellyfishes. That was why the white-jellyfish-people were a little wobbly and out of shape, because they were infested with pollutants, and thus can no longer hold their shapes.

Somehow, they can teleport themselves to another part of the world if they wanted to, although most of them were reluctant, even when the black jellyfishes were already overpowering them. One jellyfish-man had to force-teleport another to save his life.

Well at least there was a happy ending, and I remembered it. ^^ The agency came in time, controlled the black jellyfishes, and caught the masterminds for the black jellyfish production. ^^

Dreams Episode 7

Day of dream: last night

Setting: hotel + NUS High hostel hybrid

Story:

All I remember was my family and I were being held hostage by this terrorist (for some unknown reason) in a hotel room with two queen sized beds, and a window on the right. After awhile, the terrorist guy killed my family (I think he went crazy). He did not kill me, but continue to hold me as a hostage. I was terrified (I mean, who wouldn't be, after seeing your family killed in front of you, although I did not really 'see' it). I was tied up, with hands behind my back.

Finally, the police found the terrorist and me, and they barged into the room (at this point, the corpses of my family were no longer around). The terrorist tried to slit my troat, but he did not, although I thought he could have killed me if he wanted to. Can't remember what happened to him...

Scene 2 -- I was rehabitating in my hostel room, which looks like a hotel room, with one queen sized bed, a desk, TV, fridge and all. The window is on the right, showing the school. I was on the bed, in a crouched position. Some bell rang. I was suppose to be in school to fill up the numbers for inviting some important guest, but I did not go. I merely looked out of my window. Then for some reason, I took a few stuff and went out of the door. The corridor was similar to that in a hotel, walled and carpetted. I think my room was weirdly positioned. My door was facing the row of rooms, 90 degrees to the other doors. I distinctly remember the doors for the row of rooms. Right at the end, furthest to mine, was Ms. Irene's, the cluster captain. The strange one is the door next to hers, it was smaller than the other doors, like a sub-door to the room next to Ms. Irene's...

That is all I can remember...

Dreams Episode 6

Day of dream: last night
Setting: NUS High School grand stand/field
Story:
NUS High School was suppose to have this celebration thing, and I think we were suppose to be performing. So everybody got teamed up with another person to do a stunt (similar to what Nobel House Cheerleaders did in 2006 cheerleading competition). I got paired up with I-can't-remember-who, but because I was absent, I had no idea how to perform the stunt. I just knew that I was to be swung up (somehow) and end up resting on my partner's shoulder.

There is so much more to this deream, but I can't remember much....

Dreams Episode 5

Day of dream: two nights ago
Setting: a tunnel (a little cartoony)
Story:
Somehow, I ended up in a concrete tunnel, with two or three people. There were a niches along eah side of the tunnel. There was this particular niche sealed with a metal door. We explored every niche, and were especially intersted in the metal door, because it was locked.

The niches and the metal door seemed to have something to do with Zeus (the Greek god). Every niche holds an object that Zeus created, and hid form the evil forces. If whatever behind the metal door was released... (I have no idea what will happen either) ^^
