There are some soft shells here scattered like silences across the fields, where the daisies are afraid of being treaded upon. There is no wind, only the memory of one, and so we know, this is a dream, of course. A dream we share, a dream of us. A private space we inhabit, one we cannot possess when we are awake. We are not together, don’t mean we cannot be together. We keep telling ourselves this. It’s a mantra, it’s a reminder, it’s a prayer. It’s our hope. One day, we tell each other, one day things will change and we’ll get our chance. There will be no cages, no traces, no colours, no others. One day we’ll be together, just as we are, in this dream of ours. You can tell yourselves these things, when you are dreaming. But when we wake…
Who will wake up first, we wonder?
.
For everyone who has ever told me they were in love but in despair also;
Here’s a prayer for you: May you be find joy always.

Bliss indeed. My baby just popped a slice of juicysweet orange into me mouth. Bliss indeed. Hehe.(Neither of us prepared the fruit platter though; we’ve have a visiting couple on their wedding anniversary and the lovely missus just raided our fridge. Thank God cos we’d never clean it out otherwise.)
Also we all just returned from Genting with modest but joy-inducing winnings. Anything is better than losing money, no?
Why do you have to wake up?
» Kookymonsta
Good question that. Any takers?
Kenny,
Thank you.
Does it really matter???
Aww, that’s so romantic. I wonder who will wake up first with me and my love. ahaha. Oh my, I just want to spend the rest of my life with him
I need sleep badly *yawn*

I will know the meaning of wake up when I get the chance to sleep.
Thanks for the prayer. I hope everyone will find joy and bliss too.

» Jennifer

So sweet lar all these romantic dreams…..
I get nightmares coz I married Chucky. (think scary faces every night)
» cumi&ciki
… and stay united!
» Lyrical Lemongrass
So the Bald Eagle is now Chucky? Aiyoyo kavadalei…
Such bliss! It is also ok to day-dream like those kids in the classrooms. A little (alot) of optimism is necessary in this bleak days.
Sleep is over-rated.. no? =)
Sleep also brings 2 together..yes? =)
haha.. i wanted to say.. oh it’s but a dream.
oops, i just said it.
» Chin
A little (a lot) is right!
» daphne
No. And yes. Lol.
» keropokman
Oh but it’s not… Hmm.
Yes we all are, but see sometimes we are with someone but we know deep inside they are not the one we wanted to spend our whole life with. Maybe we love them but not enough to settle down with them.
Am I confusing? 
» equilibrium2008
That’s another question methinks: How ever can we be sure that someone is that the one we want to spend our whole life with?
(Methinks we just know.)
Will you wake up internationally to find out who woke up first? Hahahahahah!
I need my sleep!
» tigerfish
Oh I think this is a dream no one would wanna wake up from…
oh… nearly 1 hour into work, glancing into this post, makes me wanna go home and sleep and not wake up!
I am such a lazy bum! (btw, I slept at 9-nish last nite some more)
» keropokman
You slept at NINE-ish last nite? Wowsers. I’m officially… bedazzled. Lol.
How on earth could you still be sleepy unless you woke up before dawn itself??
I had a nice long sleep till around 6.15 when the body decided that’s enough of sleep. Was wide awake, and then I browsed this page and all the comments talked about not waking up.
oh, the subliminal message….
» keropokman
Well, this blog has caused various ailments in its readers… Drowsiness… now that’s a first. That boring meh?
This is good advise to all those already with the one and never knew it
this reminds me that i have to wake up to reality next wk. seems like i’ve been walking in dreamland for the last 3 mths, and now, it’s time for me to wake up.
i so dun wanna go back to adelaide!!! :((((
» backStreetGluttons
… and never knew it. Wise sentiment, that. Too often we don’t know what we have despite it being right in front of us.
» Jun
Oh we all I have to wake up sometime, dear. Best see it as awakening to something even better, as growing and learning.
And Adelaide’s not too bad, is it?
Hi! Thanks for dropping by my blog. Yours is fantastic! Gonna come here very often.
what if one party ‘wakes up’ only to find the other party ‘not waking up’, forever?
i always hope to be the one in a deep sleep.
in contrary, I was having trouble closing my eyes after a horror movie yday. gee, how to have sweet, romantic dreams leh? =P
» Legolas
Thanks!
» Nic (KHKL)
Dude, I think you’re one of the few who sees things the way I do. The fear inherent is that if these two parties are unable to be together in the waking world and only share this space in dreams, then the one who wakes first, risks losing it all…

“…I was having trouble closing my eyes after a horror movie yday. gee, how to have sweet, romantic dreams leh?”
Uhm, imagine your beloved chasing you? Minus the bloody axe, of course.
If he’s not tossing and turning and yanking the duvet, he’s snoring like a rhinosaurus. Sigh, how?
» argussimo
In your case, dear, I guess the fun part is in waking him and when he goes “Whuh?” half-sleepily, you answer sweetly, “Oh it’s nothing; I just wanted to sleep” and proceed to dream and snore yourself.
» argussimo
P.S. “RhinoSAURUS”? That bad, huh?
we need a new post sir…
this one’s making us sleepy. haha….
» keropokman
Okay, okay, okay… I am in the middle of planning a wedding here, y’know?
Will have one up latest by tomorrow, tonight if we’re lucky…
Ha ha, Kenny, how in the world do you spell rhino in full? Rhinoserus? Rhinosarus? Rhine-O-serious? Rhino Neal? Ryan O’Neal? (German has warped my English.)
I don’t have the heart to wake him up ‘coz oftentimes he has trouble falling asleep or staying asleep on account of thoughts reeling over work and other things.
Erm… I need my sleep. Been waking up every night in the middle of the night.
» jason
I believe it’s spelt R-H-I-N-O-C-E-R-O-S. But I could be wrong. I have had the German-warping experience before, but mine mostly involved apfelstrudel (which, to be fair, isn’t strictly German — more Austrian, ja?)
And you’re sweet. My baby would drop-kick me off our bed if I so much as wheeze.
» jason
Here’s hoping no more insomnia for you, bro!
