Mimpi Obama

I had another weird dream two nights ago.

I dreamed that Barack Obama was visiting one kampung (village) somewhere in Malaysia, and I happened to be there too. So I shook his hand.

Later on, my mom showed up too, and I told her I shook hands with Obama but she didn't believe me. Just then, Obama, who was mingling at a house across the road, turned around and my mom was surprised to see him there (yup, just like I told her).

Suddenly, Obama's bodyguards started rushing around. There was a commotion, and people were running down the street. I heard some sirens, and saw Malaysian policemen on their white police bikes coming down the road. Obama and his bodyguards were walking briskly in single file along the side of the road, in my direction.

Amidst the commotion, it appeared that the police were there to arrest Obama. I'm not sure if there were 15 police bikes, but the scene was getting too weird, so I woke up.

Another weird dream

I had a weird dream last night or this morning just before I woke up.

I normally don't remember my dreams, so this one has the unusual honour of sticking in my memory. Nevertheless, I only remember very sketchy bits.

I dreamt I was at Pulau Perhentian with a bunch of people whom I can't remember, except for Rudi. We decided to go diving, but I didn't have any equipment. We got on a boat and went to Tanjung Basi dive site. Or maybe it was Batu Nisan, I'm not sure. But it was somewhere off the Perhentian Besar island.

When we arrived at the dive site, we looked for the mooring line. We soon spotted it and Rudi dived in to retrieve it. There were some other boats with people nearby, but none of them were divers. They just looked at us and then went off. The next thing I remember, two guys with their wetsuits and full gear backrolled into the water from our boat.

Unfortunately I was just in my t-shirt and shorts and therefore could not dive. I do not know why I went out on a dive boat without any equipment whatsoever. The rest of us decided to leave the two guys floating in the water while we went to the nearest dive centre to rent equipment and tanks. I think we intended to return to the same site and join those two guys for a dive. As we sped off, the two guys were just floating there, looking lost. They did not descend for their dive. Again, I do not know why. I felt a bit bad for "abandoning" them there. I thought they might get run over by a passing boat if they continued to just float around like that.

And that's as much as I can remember.
