  • I had dropped into some shops and boutiques on the street, but each shop was a standalone. Went into one asking about whether one had seen some crime in the neighbourhood, and she commented on something and mentioned that NNUptown next door (which for some reason was also a detached one) closed early for the day. I had wanted to see if they had all been hit too. Someone near the neighbour had given me a punch, which had resulted in a bruised eye. Eventually, I ended up in a building, where the culprit was, and was just chatting with him (to get him to admit his crime) at a safe distance before the police came to arrest him. He reminded me of Jamie S (and maybe was). Apparently, he had a moment of insanity and had killed someone. The police had been convinced that he had done some other related crimes and had done it with intent. But from my conversation with him, it didn't seem that way.

    So, I persuaded them to let me talk to him at the custody jail, with me wired. Going in, I ended up speaking with the front desk in Cantonese, so others didn't know I was wired. I was also allowed in with my BlackBerry, so I was able to record the conversation (for my records in case the police decided to snip pieces of the conversation). Yes, he admitted to one crime on an act of impulse, but no, it didn't seem like he was capable of the others. He also wasn't the guy who punched me in the face or doing some of the crimes in the area.

  • Armageddon

    I recall a scene where we distinctly knew that it was the end times and Christ had returned. Someone asked me why I didn't tell him about it earlier, but I told him that I had tried to tell me, but for naught. Oddly enough, those who knew Him were allowed entry into a room, while the rest stayed outside. Still strangely enough, many people were Asians and from NT. Our comission was now that Christ returned, we were given a second chance to share the good news - hopefully that those who saw would believe.

    Last night, perhaps from overhearding the news of the Costa cruise ship sinking, I dreamed that we were on a ship and were practicing the emergency evacation drill, in real life. We had to get our life jackets, and actually had to jump from the ship into the frigid water. I didn't really want to do it, knowing that I couldn't swim, so I thought about not going through with the drill. But, my sister (who also can't swim), was calm and at peace about it. I prayed for the same peace and stood in line behind her. After I jumped and the ship was evacuated, we learned that the drill was actually real; the captain had known that the ship was sinking, so he decided to call the drill [maybe to prevent the chaos?].

    So, I woke up to Google more about the tragic story about Costa Concordia to find out more details and what happened.

  • I remember seeing a old classmate, Randy Park, from elementary school performing in a (Christian?) band...and then afterwards, tried to find them to say hello.

    Someone was with me and we even attempted to take the public transit to see if we could catch them. Anyway, shortly after this person remarked that he was disappointed that Randy wasn't in the band anymore, but instead was working for the US government; his face even showed on the website. I had the feeling that his disappointment was not in the area of work, but in terms of outreach in the workplace.

    Somehow, I had was sitting in a room with a bunch of PR folks waiting for the president to give a speech and DID actually bumped into Randy. And I had the impression that he was doing meaningful work. As we were catching up, Mr. President Obama came in (and yes, the audience actually greeted him as "Mr. President"), with his wife.

    (woohoo, not only do I bump into old friends in my dreams, I bump into Obama as well).

  • April is the month. We know so many couples that had a child in April this year, which is probably why I've had at least 3 dreams relating to pregnancies lately:

    zc had a son, but strangely enough it wasn't through his wife (made it seem like his wife couldn't so she was okay to use a surrogate mother, which was oddly someone they both knew);

    jas gave birth to a baby girl and even though it was her first, labour was within 4 hours!

    and i was with mel33 when she came to me and her devastated look on her face told me that she had just lost her baby (miscarried) - i guess she must have seen abnormal fluid like blood. i'm not sure where m was, but in my mind, i was wondering if we needed to go to the hospital to get her checked out.
