Final Countdown
At a cafeteria. In front of one of the stall was seats, the type of long benches. There was a table and two long benches, able to sit four people on this table. At the stall, there was a small stove with a bowl on it. At the left hand side of the stove (or of the stall), there was a plate of Yong Tau Fu. I was waiting for my food to be served. Richard was not here yet. The man was very tall, tending to the stall.
Sitting at the table outside the stall was HL, Richard's friend... I sat beside him, while awaiting Richard to come. Suddenly a woman appeared and sat in front of us. It was so rude of her. I told her that the seat was taken and not available.The woman was a Chinese and had long hair. She stood up. Before that I told her,"Next time, please ask before you sit." (something like that). Standing up, she walked passed me and we 'chatted'. Next, she asked me for my name. In her bag, she took out some sticky strips. All I need was one piece, but she gave me so many strips.
Later, I discovered myself writing on 2 pieces of broken pieces of paper, one B4 size and another about A5 size. These two pieces of paper were not perfect pieces but torn. On the paper, at first it was blank but with some 'wavy' edges. As I dreamed, I was writing my name on the paper; and many times, I wrote wrongly. At last, I got it right. I had written my name using pencil. Since there were some more strips of paper (all about 5cm by 1.5cm), I asked if she wanted to have the names of the people behind me (HL). But later I realized that he was married... and turning behind, I saw Richard.
Looking at my paper now, I saw a big piece of paper now, the B4 size and is printed on both sides -- chinese words and pictures of boats (so many boats, big and small); just like the newspaper.
Later, Richard and I went upstairs......... At the balcony, I looked down and saw 5 cats of various colours! The land was sandy with scattered green patches of grass here and there. After that, we went back to the cafeteria. On the way in, I saw Lee Hsien Long. I was so surprised. He was a chef, wearing pink and white stripes and the chef hat; standing behind the stall. I was not bothered about him. We went to the same "Yong Tau Fu" stall.
My dream drifted. It was Clara and Cebest! I was so surprised to see Cebest! He was exactly the same as I had seen him in my home several years back. (as I was typing this, some dogs were barking and Isaac said,"Scary... the dog).
Clara was playing and I could not see her eyes........ Next, she showed me a photo album. I saw KBS on the top left hand corner of the album. The album contains 6 'pockets' for putting photographs on each page. KBS appeared on the first pocket on the top left of the page. At first, I was looking at the other photographs and it was some activities of QiHua Primary School. But later when I saw KBS, dressed in light green uniform (like what Boon Lay Secondary School's uniform used to have -- the old and last batch), and was wearing scout scarf (red and white strips). The image in the photograph MOVED! KBS MOVED!
