Weird Dreams that Involve a Toilet Bowl

So, in the midst my waking my system to a suitable working stage this morning (that involved 3 cups of TEA!!!!!!! How can my bladder take it???), I have just come to realise the weird dream i had. Having received 2 wedding invitations the evening before, i contemplated my actions as a single person and thought " Why am I not ready to tie the knot?" Anyway, that was not the issue. The point was, one of the invitations came from a secondary school friend and i think that trigger off some cue in my head to involve another secondary school friend in my dream. And so the dream goes somewhat hazily like this. I remembered walking into the kitchen bathroom and found the floor totally dry, the toilet bowl totally disengaged from the pipes and lying on it's side,... and i screamed to some chap i was suppose to know but i really don't, not in real life, and he rushed to the toilet only to exclaim that it is perfectly normal to find the toilet bowl on it's side. I was kinda flabbergasted. Normal? Toilet bowls on it's side? And then he continued on, demonstrating with easy, the way to GLUE the toilet bowl back into it's place! I was like "what?!!!!" That part ended and then i went to to meet my old secondary school friend. She then proclaimed to me that she found out her bf has cheated on her and that she has decided to cheat on her bf only because he had done the deed. (This is not real, it was in my dream!!) And this turned into "Beverly Hills 90210". She was sleeping with another friend who was sleeping with another friend who was sleeping with my friend's bf!!!! WTF!!!! This is BIZARRE!

WTC - The Harsh Tragedy

And so, a movie that pays a tribute to the uniformed forces who lost their team members in the devastating tragedy that happened 5 years ago. The collapse of the World Trade Centre Towers in downtown New York City marks just another catastrophe that has been blasted all over the news and papers, gaining possibly more coverage than any other disaster that has happened during that fateful year or period. Great movie that plays at your sentiments. It is about the courage of common everyday people who bond together at the face of death and harrow destruction. Although there were no superheros involved, there was, however the all american recipe of 'faith, hope & courage'. It is hard to imagine that only 20 survivors were pulled out from the rubble of broken concrete, tangled cables and crushed lives. To me, it was very very sad and perhaps at that moment in the cinema, real.
'Incidents' like these do not just happen out of the blue. It is planned, organised and somewhat cruel. No matter the conspiracy, tragedies like these should not be allowed to happen. I am not only talking about america, but everywhere around the world. From the never ending wars between Israel and Palestine, to the unrest of the African nations and religiously fueled propagandas that keep dotting up everywhere, we will finally kill each and everyone of us one day. No one will be left standing.
Anyway, catch the film if you can. It is perhaps not just a piece of entertainment but also a resounding reflection of our lives. Though we have yet to experience something of that magnitude, be assured that it is nothing to smile or laugh about. (I am talking about the pissheads who were laughing and gawking at the film at parts which were not meant to be funny. I mean how callously insensitive can you guys be? And the EXTRA COMMENTARY?! Oh for pete's sake! I really felt like smacking the balls off your face! Yes, I am ranting about the inconsiderate prats who like to pretend that they 'work' as commentators during a film and also to those who love to answer their mobile phones during a film!!!!! Man#$%$^$&!!!)
