whoppee... i can't keep track of the no. of days i have spent holidaying. when you don't really know what the exact date is, it's just bliss. anyway, i had the strangest dream last night. i dreamt of 2 church elders and how i was in a counselling session where i had to counsel people and i was like some counsellor on probation with these 2 church elders watching my every move. the first piece of advice was brilliant crap but then i got nervous and my second advice was just crap. i think this dream didn't mean anything. could just be that i'm nervous that my cell leader wants to talk to me about something.. sigh what else could it be? but anyway i just worry too much. everyday till friday, i keep telling myself that people want to talk to me about the something because they care about me.. and not just talk About me. ya.. i'm sure to have wierd dreams to friday.

anyway, had another excellent day and started with fetching my husband to work and then heading to marine parade for morning coffee and a good read of my Tale of Two Cities. Dickens is amazing. i am so in awe of the way he writes as if every unique and profound phrase was coined instinctively and intuitively by him.. so effortless! but i guess i'm not as good and i do struggle hard to find the right words and sometimes, don't find them at all. anyway, just to share a few phrases with you that really impressed me from his book. it's taken from the chapter where monseigneur is in the city and there is this description of all the aristocrats and hypocrites.

"Unbelieving Philosophers who were remodeling the world with words, and making card-towers of Babel to scale the skies with..."

but this one phrase still haunts me. "The leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance upon Monseigneur". i think this relates to our lives.. my life.. more than we/i care to know.
