Dreams and what may come...
Dreams have always fascinated me.. Do they hold meaning in the waking world? Or are they as some people claim "images from the day that passed put together in some order that we can understand?"
Today during CG.. basically Aunty Nancy, Michelle and Joylyn shared abt dreams they've had .. or for Joylyn what Adrian had..In dreams we can have fantastical (to steal a phrase from a lit text last time) images and things which we know is not logical or possible in the waking world, like a car that seats 5 ppl in the front and 5 ppl in the back.. or you asking someone to kill you.. but in the dream everything seems to make sense such that we can't distinguish fact from fiction..
Well I wish I could interpret dreams and stuff.. I dream of weird stuff from time to time..

Random Thoughts
Been wanting to blog for a while, just that haven't really had the time. Been busy. My mid-sem exams are starting beginning tomorrow... hence I will be sleeping soon..
Random thought 1:
People in general have similar dreams.. most common would be a) flying b) loose teeth (yes its true), u dream that 1 or more teeth are loose c) falling d) dying.. I'm trying to think of what common thread these dreams could have.. since everyone experiences them..
Random thought 2:
Car accidents are scary. Met with 1 last week. Could have been worse. Thank God the damage was not extensive although I have volunteered to pay for the repairs. There goes a chunk of my red packet cash. Oh well, have to be responsible.

Interesting thought
During service yesterday, the speaker made a very interesting point. He said something along the lines about how reading 1 chapter of the Bible is equivalent (lengthwise) to reading not even 1/4 of a headline article from the newspaper. And while we can read the paper everyday , most of us don't find time to read the Bible.
