For some reason, I was on the phone.
Dad: "Are you calling Mummy?"
Me: "Huh????"
Me: *Thoughts to myself* - He can talk, finally. That means he might be able to eat as well!
For some other reason, Dad was suddenly eating congee.
Me: "Eat slowly, chew everything properly!". Repeats: "Pa!! Eat slowly, eat slowly! You haven't eaten for 6 months!"
Me: *Thoughts to myself* - I wonder if those pork/chicken shreds in the congee are too tough for his digestion?
Me: "Pa this time you really must change. You won't be so lucky next time... Sigh."
Dad: *Nods furiously*



Those are what I remember from my dreams last night, about Dad again. Another part of the dream was of me having UTI and I'd rather not think about that.

What is going through Dad's mind now? No one knows for sure. What's gonna happen in the future? That's a bigger question mark.

I can't help to wonder why I keep having dreams about Dad. Could he be trying to tell us something?

It seems impossible that 6 months passed just like this. To me, the trauma 6 months ago is still very fresh in my mind, and I know it will well be for the coming months and possibly, years. Some things just have the very permanent effect.

Nevertheless, we've got to move on. Life is never about dwelling too much about the past. As it is, there is already too much to worry and fight for in our current life.

On a lighter note, I've been drinking so much coffee lately. I don't know for sure WHY I take those coffees (from everywhere - canned ones from convenience stores, machine ones and kopitiam (yum!) ones as well), on some days I wasn't even feeling tired.

I guess I'm just like that. Bored? Grab a coffee. Sluggish? Grab a coffee. Sick of feeling bored and sluggish - get MORE coffee.

It started the moment I tasted perfect kopitiam coffee from Bukit Timah thanks to my generous colleagues who always buy kopi.

Actually it is so bloody unhealthy having all these coffees. If you've tasted black coffee you'll know HOW MUCH milk and sugar is added to give that final nice, brown, sweet coffee mixture. In other words one is just drinking sugar. WTF. I better stop.

Talking about health, Bro 'screened' SUPERSIZE ME over dinner on Saturday nice that totally grossed me out, and if you don't already know what that show is about read this. It's a very nice show with real life interviews and stats and all. Frankly I didn't know that show would have such a huge impact me. Now fast food just gives me the chills.

Though I think it's okay to eat it once in a while, I'll still have the chills each time I order, because I'll think of the show! Oh and fast food portions in America are just... OH MY GOD!!!

Lastly, I'm STILL dreaming of a solitary break-away.
