Day 345 - i dreamed

So, today i dreamed a fun dream. I'll talk about it later. Lemme explain the pic first.

Mom wanted to make some chinese onion pancakes (蔥油餅). And we didn't have any place around 40C to let the dough ferment... Being smart, my mom remembered my burning laptop and decided get me to sit in the kitchen warming the dough pot for her.
That'd be my accomplishment of the day xD

-----------------OK, so here's the dream... have fun reading =D
It all started when i decided to go get a standing lamp and a clothe rail stick from IKEA. This ikea spammed about three floors up a twin slender skyscraper with bridges connecting in between. Their lucid gray shine gave a slick business feel. Once inside the 1st floor, I walked around looking for the products i've found on the online ikea catalog. But however many times i walked around the crowded 1st floor, i just couldn't find the silver clothe rail. I ask one of the workers - to only find that he couldn't do anything besides smile, laugh, and re-shelve misplaced products (and he took my standing lamp so i had to get another one). Disillusioned, i decided to walk some more, and cheer myself up by explore the magnificent insides of the skyscraper.

There was no way up except through a very peculiar elevator. It was round shaped, sort of like the huge round gondolas you'd see in a skiing resort. But instead of the cheap plastic look, these skyscraper gondola-elevators were made out of a deep gray steel frame and thick translucent glasses. Each carrier could fit about 25 person and you could see through the glasses underneath your feet. You could see the shrinking houses on your way up, the miniature cars and buses running on the shoe lace-sized streets. The elevator itself also rotated around the building so that you could see the whole city on your way up the elevator. This elevator itself was quite a thrilling ride =D

Once i stepped off the elevator, the typical white marble floor of malls greeted me. The little shops were packed in the way no more different than contemporary malls: each decorated with neon lights in hope of attracting more customers. Walking down the path way, i suddenly remembered that i should've been on my way to meet my brothers and go to this amusement park. And because i've already spent half of my day in the 1st few floors, i was half a day late!!

'This is urgent', i processed the following logical statement in my mind, 'this is more important than my ikea clothe rail'. Soon i saw myself sprinting towards the upper floors of the building, where the amusement park was located. As i got close, i've began to hear the shrills from collercoaster-lovers. Oh no... i need to hurry. The park seems to be packed. I trotted close to one of the roller coasters and saw my brothers waving at me. *phew* i guess i made it in time to get into this crazy-fun looking ride with them.

Suddenly i hear BRRRRR.... BRRRR.... oh no.. machinery malfunction? I looked up and forced my eyes open: it was my cellphone ringing the 9am call, waking me up before i even got to the front line of the rollercoaster ride...

Grumpily i turn my cellphone morning alarm and fell back asleep. I've surely missed a few good rides with my bros, because by the time i got back into the amusement part, some people were announcing that the park was going to close soon.

Looking up, i saw rollercoasters making their last zooming in and out of the building. And i felt a few drips of water on my face. A water ride? Oh we gotta hurry before the ride closes!! Carrying a sense of urgency... i climbed into the entrance of the water ride. Strangely the entrance was an obstacle course that involved climbing up a wooden tower made up of foamy floors, while buckets of water splashed down the floors. People around that tower could also chuck waterballoons at you or just use designated supersoaker... And LOTs of pple were racing up to reach the water ride before it closed.

I turned and climbed and slipped and ran. Dodging the vicious waterballoons, standing the soaked clothes sticking to my skin, i finally reached my price: line towards the little white submarine-cars that could carry its passengers into a thrilling water adventure. And a worker closed the waiting like right behind me and my brothers. I saw the disappointed eyes of the racers who were a only a few seconds behind me... They'd have to come back some other day.

Safely in line, i was ready to enjoy the last rollercoaster of the day. My bros and I took the time in the waiting line to play some games, comment about the amusement park and laugh at the drenched passengers getting off each fatty white submarine-car. As we approached being the 1st ones in line, the platform shook. More accurately, I was being shaken. Cerebral stroke?

"Wake up, soooof, brunch time", a motherly voice that sounded extremely like my mom spoke. "Get up!! it's pasta time!!". I mumbled..."No wait, i haven't gotten on my last water drive!!". "What??"
And i woke up. My body and mind was entirely out of my fantastic dream that came to nothing. I missed out on the most thrilling parts of my dream >:/
