popcorn thoughts
i've had this experience of thoughts and memories, shards and pieces everywhere, just popping up at random today.
i think it must've been started from a dream. it came so unexpectedly that i myself was caught aback by it. the dream reminded me of something i had almost forgotten in the short term, yet it struck my heart as the topic was really something i have always kept dear to my heart since it all started, 6 years ago.
yes. i dreamt of you. and that has brought back all the memories.
pisceans are known to be a dreamer. i think i fit perfectly into that description. i'm not a dreamer because i'm a piscean, but because i believe in the reality of dreams. they give you a direction, something you wish to possess or happen. yet sometimes, it merely ends up as a dream. the more you dream the more you tend to despair if it only remained a dream. easier said than done, we really can learn lessons about ourselves, our character, if we see beyond why we dream of the things we actually dream about.
popcorn. everything's happening all at once. there's this sad atmosphere developing within council for we know that our current lifestyle will have to change soon. or should i say, it's ending within a month's time. council elections reminded me how i dreamt of becoming a councillor even before stepping into jc. back then, i wasn't even sure if i'll be studying in which jc, but i was already convinced of the experience and friendship that council has to offer despite the hours of toiling under the sun and the moon and the stars. i was determined to fulfil 'this' dream, for i had failed to secure the the research projects that i had initially tried to obtain. many events failed one after another. i decided i'll still run for council even if i'm going to do it alone. i was inspired by my senior engtee, and he made me realise the advantages and disadvantages of running for council alone and as a group. initially, some girls from my class formed a group and there was no room for me to join them as they already hit the group limit of number of members. fine with me i thought, although i was the first to initiate the idea of going for it. luckily, thanks to my dear S6 dramafeste '04 friend, ann, i somehow ended up forming a group with karen and eunice - we called ourselves 'Just Sponge It' ( we drew inspiration from spongebob squarepants).
JAE results was announced during the march break, right after i completed my final hike with Tahan to Mt. Ophir a.k.a. Gunung Ledang. boy, i sure miss tahan. the type of bonding and encouragement you get there is very close to that of council, also having a string of seniors known as 'lau lau's (oldies) ok, the release of JAE led to my class losing about 10 of it's original members. *sigh* the council election group from my class was disbanded, the remaining member running for council joined another group but she didn't get in in the end anyway. till today i remembered very clearly how me n eunice stayed at karen's house till 10pm or so to finish our video the night before elections, how we managed to scrape through our then 'nominee's intro', our interactive posters bearing our faces and a sponge, us giving sweets to each S6 class, and QnA. i remembered every single question fired at me. i remembered the agony of waiting for the election results, and my outburst of joy upon receiving it. like popping of corn: it's uncontrollable.
if you've cooked popcorn or seen how it's done, you'll know that the corn 'pop's randomly. ( oh yeah, you can create orange-flavoured caramel by pounding grated orange zest with sugar and probably some vanilla, then pour it over the fresh hot popcorn so that it'll melt onto its surface ^-^ )

Dream dreams, but don't let them remain as dreams
Popcorn pops randomly, but there is a beginning, a climax, and the end. yeah?
