4 am. I just had a dream. A nightmare. Singapore is hit with an earthquake. I'm at Tampines mall with my sis when it happens. Concrete blocks and ceilings are falling down everywhere. I lead my sis to a more open area where there's no ceiling right above our heads. We dodge the debris and we all fall to the basement. We easily climb our way out and now I'm standing in the middle of orchard road area. I thought Singapore is 'earthquake free'. It's so graphic. Just like apocalypse movies. Now all that's in my mind is finding Jessie.
(Note to self- Climbing out of carpark, ravaged city ahead, some green, broken roads, smoke,)
I call her and after the second ring she picks up. She sounds tired, but she says she's fine. I ask her where she is and she says she's not sure. Something's not right. She says she's squashed- trapped. Starbucks. Starbucks at bedok. After a while she stops talking. I cry out her name and fear the worst. I try to hail a cab- there're so many but everybody's hailing for cabs too. After so, so much frustration and anxiety, I trudge through a make shift road made of sand. A boat nearby is causing water to destroy the road. Bryan is there to shoo off the boat. I get on a bus and I tell the uncle to drive me to Bedok. I plead and plead with him. I'm crying. He says okay but there's something in his eyes- he seems to have an ulterior motive.
My eyes fly open. I'm in my room.

The Pumpkin Slinger
So I had a dream- a very very vivid one where I was playing neopets. There was a new 3d feature, and I came across this Pumpkin slinger taking a nap on a Huge tree hanging horizontally. So vivid was this Pumpkin slinger, that the moment I woke up I was struggling to search through my memory banks if I had seen something similar before. Can't say I have. So I plan draw him out. Did VERY little sketches of him just now. Damn, what a wasted day.

We are but tiny specks of dust.
When I first saw images and videos of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan, I was like, whoa. Interesting. Now that more and more videos of the destruction left by these disasters have popped up, there's no longer any fascination. If that earthquake had touched us, I doubt my hdb will still be standing. If the tsunami had reached us, I doubt my hdb will still be standing too. And if those things can 'never' happen to us because of our geological positioning, there's still that mega volcano that could erupt in Indonesia. And Indonesia has a lot of volcanoes. If this is how forest fires all the way there impact us, imagine volcanoes spewing toxic gases. We'll just choke to death in our little hdb flats.
All dreams and aspirations will die, just like that.
We are but tiny specks of dust. At least I'm reminded of that.

I'm so glad I went for all these open houses. Their giving me the right motivation I need to push myself. One day I'm gonna be just like these guys. I want to be so good that I don't have to do factory work animation. Imagine big time clients asking me to draw for them from home. Wheww. Draw draw draw.
