Significance of dreams..

We sometimes dream when we sleep.. but we often don't remember all our dreams when we wake up.. some say dream is a representation of what is important to you, some say it is a reflection of your innerself, some say it is a prediction of future, some don't believe in any of it..

When I was young, I always dream the same dream.. I dream that I was in a white room, being chased by a giant "roll" of threads.. it's always the same dream, I do not know the symbolic meaning of it, and still do not know although the dream has stopped occuring. Often, in magazines or articles whereby objects or events in dreams are interpreted, I cannot find one for my dream. It would be nice to know what my dream meant..

Another dream which always haunt me is a dream of the ground I am walking on suddenly starts to collapse.. it was a dream that often came into play when I was sick, esp fever. I would dream that I was standing on a balcony and it gave way and I start to fall, or I was walking across a pedestrian bridge and it collapsed all of a sudden... either way I would jerked up from my sleep...

But as I grow older, these dreams slowly disappeared.. I still dream, but I can never remember much about them..

Had a terrible day at work?

We all have bad days at work, don't we?

You must have encountered some bad days at work before, you know, those that drive you nuts, makes you wanna walk into your GM's office and tell him that you quit?

Well, I've had a terrible week at work.. (thank God it's Friday, almost thought that Friday wouldn't come). I have tried many a times to pen down my thoughts when I am frustrated at work but it never seem to work. Either I am too frustrated or too occupied wth work to write my blog.. when I am finally free (usually after work or weekends), I don't feel like dwelling into my memory bank for those frustrating moments again, just to write my blog..

Someone told me that there is no such thing as a terrible/ horrible day at work. He maintains that it is all in one's mind. To a certain exent this is true, but I maintain that there are worse days than others. Recently, I am feeling it more than ever.. I don't know if it's a sign that I am not enjoying my job anymore, or is it just a passing phase.. I am still trying to determine.

To quote a friend, "If you enjoy your work you do not have to work a day in your life.."

Ironies...

Pondering over some thoughts... maybe you have answers?

Why does it always rain when you are wearing your favourite shoes/ dress?
Why does it always rain when I do not drive to work/ forget my umbrella?
Why does the phone never ring when you want it to?
Why does the phone always ring the moment you step away from your desk/ when you shower?
Why the person that you secretly hope will call never will, but others whom you don't want to always will?
Why do all appointments fall on the same day, as if they know that that's the only day in the week which I am fully occupied?
When you are really busy and feel that it can't get any busier, it always will..
When you are really free and want to look for some activities, either all your friends are occupied or you have no where to go..

I have quite a few other whys as well.. but don't feel like putting them down, how about you? Do you have any ironies to share?

Gotta run..

Happy New Year..!

Happy New Year to all...! It's now 2005..

Don't people always have resolutions for the new year? Though we never fulfill half of them, I suppose it's still nice to have a goal. and a yardstick to measure what we failed to accomplish (yet again) in a year... Well, instead of having big resolutions this year, think I'll just have small baby ones to accomplish.. If you share the same interest/ resolutions, drop me a note.. maybe we can plan some of the activities together?

My 2005 Resolutions (actually it's more like things to accomplish) in 2005)
1) Learn to cook fried rice like my grandma
2) Bake more often (think lasagne, cookies, cakes..)
3) Go to gym at least once a week
4) Make new friends (a whole lot more)
5) Seriously consider a career move
6) Join salsa class (or ballroom dancing)
7) Spend more time with my family

11) Practice singing on high notes (for karaoke sessions.. hehe)
