This blogpost is going to be mainly about a dream I dreamt few days ago. and because its two days ago, I can barely remember what it was, and most of this might be exaggeration.
As you all know, I’m a guy who loves to travel, to see new things, to experience new cultures, and to meet new people, but somehow, this time, it was different. I didn’t enjoy being where I was, I hated it, I despised it, I resented it, but it was a family vacation, and we wouldn’t be a ‘family’ if I wasn’t there.
So there I was, somewhere up in the northern Europe, and this is strange that I hated it, because I’ve always dreamed of going to that part of the world. Earphones in my ear and all focused on my smart phone, checking tweets and facebook statuses, ignoring the scenery, ignoring the people, the culture, basically everything, but then a little kid ran passed me and his hands slightly hit my knee, and all my attention was turned to him.
I was pissed off, thinking who the heck this kid is, disturbing my private space and touching me, but all my frustration and anger just fluttered away when he turned. He was so freaking adorable, and cute, and chubby, and small and cute. Well, we all have those moments, when we see the ‘perfect-little-kid’ walking around the mall, or our friends/relative’s kid.
As soon as he hit my knee, I made this ‘tsk’ sound, as a sign of my frustration, and he immediately realized and turned around to apologize.
“I’m really sorry. Won’t happen again~~~~”, then he ran off with his arms wide open, thinking he’s an airplane.
My attention was literally just him, for that few moments, then someone ran pass me quickly as well, chasing that kid. She looked really rush, as if unprepared for a job or something. She was holding a few bags, maybe one for herself, the other two might be the kids’ food and whatnot.
I couldn't catch up to them because we were passing through this alleyway, and I heard the tour guide saying that this wall is a famous landmark around here because, people would usually take pens, markers, or even spray paint, to do some graffiti on the wall, and the pictures drawn represents their dreams. In other words, it was a ‘dream-wall’.
The alleyway was sort of narrow, and everyone stopped and stared at the graffiti, but it wasn’t of my concern at all. All I wanted to do was just find both of them.
I came to the end of the alleyway, and it was a junction. I couldn’t see them either on my right or left, so I took a chance and went to the right. My earphone was playing ‘She’s got you high’ by Mumm-Ra, even though it is good and awesome music, but given the current situation and intensity, the song was rather annoying, so I kept my earphones in my pocket, to search for them better.
Reaching the end of that way, it leads to another junction as well and that was when I gave up. I decided to walk back to find my parents, before they realize I’m missing and start panicking or whatnot. Deep down inside, I really hoped that the kid and the girl is part of tour, so I could get to know them more, but reality was that we return to the hotel for rest-time before going out for dinner.
The hotel that we stayed in, wasn’t SUPER impressive, but it was… comfy. I shared a room with Sean, he called dibs on the bed that faces the television, but I didn’t bother arguing because I really wasn’t in the mood. A comfortable bed, suddenly felt uncomfortable, due to thinking of what happened earlier. So I decided to go for a dive at the pool downstairs.
The pool had a simple setting, it was in a shape of an eight, no slides… simple. I dipped my legs first, before jumping in, and out of a sudden, SPLASH.
I was wet, from head to knee, and was really shocked.
Someone tapped my shoulders, and as I turned around, it was her. That girl.
and as the random jumper came up for air, it turned out to be the kid as well.
To be continued, cause I'm tired at 2.44 am.
