La Nouche's Dream Journal-Chp 32 (Mikbutashi)


I named my dream that because that's the first word that came into my head as soon as I woke up. Anyway...

• I remember being at home

• I was talking to the maid about something

• I seemed to have caught her cold or something because my voice suddenly changed and I was coughing a little

• Then I remember being in a sort of school

• It's almost like a Japanese school, with students talking to me in Japanese, and I seem to understand them partially

• I found out it was some kind of art school and we learn the basic subjects a day while the rest of the day is dedicated to art of whatever major we are taking

• I seem to be new in class coz everyone treated me like one

• The teacher looked comical, almost like Nube from Jigoku Sensei Nube as he teaches the class

• During lunch hour/recess, we were eating in class and the teacher suddenly wanted to teach a new word to us (but I think he was targeting more on me who is a foreign student)

• He randomly picked someone's lunch, tasted it and asked us to repeat after him what kind of dish was it

• I only remember it having the words "chili" and "merah" in it, no idea why

• I recited while I ate, and everyone is wondering who is the one saying it when everyone had stopped recited it and I don't seem to be moving my mouth to speak but more towards eating

• Once the teacher left to do his business, I asked if anyone was curious who was reciting and told them to come closer to listen while I recited, using my ventroliquist skill that I always use to make my cat meows with my mouth closed, and demo how I'm still able to recite while eating

• My classmates were impressed, some shocked at my gift

• Then, halfway through lunch, we heard a commotion

• I went down to check it out, prompting others

• We saw that someone had committed suicide and when we leaned over to see the body, it was a child no older than 10

• I was shocked and I couldn't control myself from crying

• I looked up to see where did the kid fell from and caught a glimpse of my mom there

• I quickly ran away

• Since that incident, things have changed around me and the teacher started to view me as a odd case

• He gave me a nickname Sunny, not sure why

• There was one weird incident where when he was trying to teach the Japanese language, everyone seemed to feel so groggy and fall asleep except me who is trying to pay attention to class, but unfortunately I'm still struggling and technically have no idea what he is teaching because he's speaking in Japanese

• The teacher assumed that somehow I managed to suck their life force or something whenever I try to concentrate on a subject, like my brain needs all the conciousness I could get

• During another recess, I went out and saw that a new Batman movie was coming out and debated whether to watch the premiere first instead of watching it with Joe

• I was tempted by the cheap price and bought the ticket for the premiere

• Then I went out shopping, bought some stuff and mixed them to eat, where I caught a glimpse some of my primary school classmates who were working as cashiers

• While I mixed my food, I heard them talking and whispering about me, as if they were surprised to see me there and thought I had gone to study in KL or something

• I came up to them and chatted with them, telling them about me being in the Japanese school

• When they asked why was I not in the school that they assumed I've went to, I told them that I initially did, but not before going back to Taiwan to get my certificate, no idea why I said that, then I said that school didn't feel right, so I switched to the school I was studying now

• It was clear that they still didn't change; they could only converse in Malay and have limited knowledge in English

• When I realized it was almost time to watch my movie, I saw the ticket and the showtime was already long over because I thought I bought a 6.30pm show when the ticket said 10am

• I grumbled over it for a while before letting it go, telling myself it only cost me $3 anyway, nothing to cry over it

• I went back class and hung out at another class where there were some students that I seem to know

• I hid out of sight from that class teacher to chat with this particular friend of mine when that teacher got a call asking if she had seen Sunny Pal, which is a nickname given to me so as not to confuse me with the friend I was talking to, which was also named Sunny

• I quickly crawled back to my own class before the teacher went over to check whether my seat was empty and pretended to be doing class tutorial exercises on the school book, which was at the moment teaching English

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...

I've Learned...

Written by Andy Rooney, a man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words. Rooney used to be on 60 Minutes TV show. I've learned.... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. I've learned.... That when you're in love, it shows. I've learned .... That just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes my day. I've learned.... That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world. I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. I've learned.... That you should never say no to a gift from a child. I've learned.... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in any other way. I've learned.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. I've learned.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
