Day 5
30 DAY POKÉMON CHALLENGE
Day 5 — Your Favorite Season Soundtrack/Song
Of course I don't have to think about this one. I feel like saying "DUH" to this question but that sounds so weird because I never say "duh". I remember in primary school the word "duh" became an airborne disease (source of disease: Archie comics, which almost everyone read back then) and suddenly everyone was saying "duh" to this and "duh" to that and "duh" to every-freaking-thing. And once, in P3, this girl Annabel "DUH"-ed me after I told her something. Let it be known that up till P5 I was still clueless as to what "duh" meant. At that moment though, I felt so insulted because her "DUH" sounded so rude. It's just one word but it seemed to imply, "You are so stupid how could you not have noticed that," and "Why are you so dumb to state the obvious oh and by the way I'm smarter than you." From then on, I hated it whenever someone used the D-word (by this I mean "duh", not "dumb") because although I didn't know what it meant, IT JUST SOUNDS SO RUDE.
BUT I DIGRESS. AS USUAL.
My favourite Pokémon song is the most famous one - the theme song for the first season. I wanna be the very best / That no one ever was...
Hear it here on YouTube. Just in case you didn't know, this song is very aptly named, er, "Pokémon Theme" LOL.
This song is a legacy. Honestly, I think it's the only one most people remember. The short clip accompanying the song is really sweet too. All about trainers and friendship and Pokémon awww.
It's especially sweet how Misty and Brock appeared alongside Ash as Jason Paige sang "Ohhhh you're my best friend / In a world we must defend" (Okay Team Rocket and Gary Oak appears 2 seconds after that but ignore LOL) and how Charizard flares at the trio, Ash hugs Squirtle as it runs up to him at "Our courage will pull us through / You teach me and I'll teach you" can't stand it too. Sweet.
30 DAY LETTER CHALLENGE
Day 5 — Your dreams
When I first saw "Your dreams", I honestly thought it was referring to the dreams you have at night. But after a second I realised it's probably asking for your dreams, as in what you want out of life. Because what I want out of life is too complex and tedious to be explained here, I am going to write about the dreams I have at night instead.
Since sometime in Sec 1, I have been recording the dreams I have at night on-and-off. Dreams are really important because they are indicative of your present state of mind in life and they tell you things you might not have known about yourself.
Just look at Stephenie Meyer. Had she not dreamt about a girl and a vampire, she wouldn't have had the base for the Twilight series, and she wouldn't be this rich/famous today. I guess that might be why the first book of the series is really the only decent one. That was the one her dream inspired.
I am always looking to my dreams for inspiration. (But so far, nothing has come out of them yet.)
It's always fun to think about your dreams. It's also really amazing and amusing because anything can happen in them.
Something that is rather noteworthy is this: when you're happy with life, your dreams will most likely be happen. The same goes if you're sad - sad dreams.
I once dreamt of my ex-boyfriend. At that point in time, I was still crushing on him and we have not gotten together yet. I know I mentioned this in one of my speeches in SpeechComm but what I said about the dream during that speech isn't exactly true - I embellished it to make the speech more interesting. I'm not going to reveal the exact details of the dream here because it's personal and something I want to keep to myself. I have told some of my friends about it though, a few days after I had it. The dream was a happy one, and at that point in time I was a happy girl. I remember it so well and I even remember when it appeared in my sleep - 15th January 2009 - because I scrawled the date on my school desk the next day.
Near the end of 2009 sees me in Taiwan on holiday, heartbroken and depressed over a breakup that happened nearly half a year ago. Just then, apocalyptic science fiction film 2012 had just been released for a few weeks. I pondered about life and how things would be like if the world really were to end in 2012.
Guess what? One night, deep in slumber, the setting of my mind painted a world where the sky, azure and brownish-yellow at the same time, was cracking and about to fall to pieces. The ground shook and trembled beneath our feet. Everyone was running amok as buildings crashed. I didn't feel afraid at all and I kept running till I found my ex. My hand reached out to grab his arm and when he turned to look at me, I asked him if he still loved me. He looked me in the eyes for a while before turning away and then I knew he felt nothing for me at all. The final images were of how he looked at me, cold and unflinching; his back as he walked away from me; how my heart sank and my knees felt weak as tears filled up my vision. And light and pain pulled me to consciousness.
Okay, that all sounded very emo. I hope he does not read this because it will make things even more awkward between us than they already were. Um, if I am in the unlucky situation that he really manages to read this, I just want to make it clear that I am not depressed like that anymore and I am happily attached to someone else right now LOL. And, hello!
All right, shall go listen to the Pokémon Theme and hope I dream about Pokémon lalala
