And on to the other stuff

Mishaps aside! I've not been spared by my workload. Grrr it piled up while I was away. Thank God I don't need any of those IN/OUT paper trays, that can be such a depressing sight at times! Cool, I finally got my first lomocamera. The fine folks at the Click Project didn't have any of the regular stock left that evening, but after much persuasion I managed to a special edition version of the supersampler. Nothing special about it though, except for the fact that it's black in colour and comes with a free roll of film. Good thing it doesn't cost extra. Durh hope I wasn't taken for a sucker.

"Well there goes the last of our faulty cams"

Before I 'story' you people about the Redang escapade, here's something that happened to me earlier after the trip.

It's not very often that you experience 2 different dreams in a night. Well, at least for me. The first one had a moral to it. Okay, so it's going to sound wacky, but that's what dreams are all about innit?

Apparently I was part of an infantry unit in medieval Europe, engaged in a battle against what looked like orcs (they looked nothing like the ones from LOTR) After the dust has settled, I stumbled upon what looked like a pretty elegant looking sword still sheathed upon one of the piles of bodies.

I remember fiddling with it, but never got to swing it around due to the fact the hilt was missing. All I remember next was having dinner with the royal family I had served. It wasn't a big one, there were around 6-8 of us at the table, and for that matter I guessed I must have been knight's squire? I really wouldn't know. While everyone was ranting among themselves about the victory, I waved to the prince (looked like Charles!) to grab his attention. As I then presented his majesty with the blade, his eyes lit up, and soon everyone's attention were drawn to us. He then began to explain the importance of this blade and its history, and that one day ages ago it mysteriously vanished from a display cabinet which he pointed to not far from where I was.

Okay so here comes that really absurd twist. Before I could catch my breath upon the blade's significance, the Queen (no shit, she looked like old Queen E herself!) out of nowhere comes over to Charles and bluntly suggests that the blade is to be auctioned off for a ridiculous sum of money, and that the earnings would be shared. She didn't say among who though, but I definately could tell I wasn't on the list. Without hesitating the Prince agreed to do so, to my astonishment! The dream pretty much ended on that note, so here's the moral:

some things are best kept to yourself!

I remember having another vision about the Prince and his spouse, but that one is totally out of the picture. No, there weren't any bronco rides involved, if you know what I mean :P and no, the missus didn't look anything like Ms Parker Bowles or Diana.

The second dream which I had were of current state... sort of. I was on the Internet, browsing my highschool alumni's webpage. One of the pages I went to had a list of essays plucked from exams and other competitions. OKay, so what about them? Actually, it was the title of one particular entry by Teik Suan (Saints 97!) which read "Starchildren".

"Starchildren!?", yeah, and all I could think of at that time was the alias Billy Corgan had used for his band. I never got to download the essay to read it, but I had this gut feeling that it would had been plagarised, should the album had been a 'conceptual' one, like what was done for Machina for example. Mmm... is something trying to tell me to give that album a listen?

Oh there was another interesting essay too, it had something to do with Man Utd. ROFL!

Allrighty enough hallucinating already, onwards to those 3 days!
