Man, my sister is SO annoying... *sighs*
She is now, downstairs, giggling and squawking in such a high frequency that I hardly believe she is human anymore. I thank my room for its protection it offers me from such a terror and pray that my 5 months away from home will give me my much sought-after peace... =__=;;;
Anyways, I'm just done with Mekakushi no Kuri aka Land of the Blindfolded. It is one of THE MOST AMAZING manga that I have ever read. Guess you know what I did for the whole of Saturday yah? Ohh, my logbook, the neglect!!! XD

The story is real good, though the summary probably sounds cheesy and cliche. But I urge you to ignore the summary and go on reading it, cos I started it yesterday and couldn't put it down till I completed the whole thing this morning. It goes something like this: Otsuka Kanade is a girl who is able to see a person's future, occasionally, if she touches him/her. Namiki Masahiro, similar to Kanade, is able to look into the future though it requires much effort on his part. Naitou Arou, on the other hand, is able to always see one's past upon contact. How will this romance/supernatural novel unfold as these 3 protagonists' paths cross and encounter events that bind their fate together more closely and teach them the lessons in life that they need to know?
Sounds corny right? But it's all good, trust me. And the artwork by Tsukuba Sakura is incredible! The characters can actually be told apart -unlike my own artwork, as proven by Liu Jia- and the strokes seem effortless but it all comes together in the most perfect manner. Ahhh... Let me drown in the talent of this wonderful mangaka...
Ok, what was my purpose of posting this post...? Err... ... *scratches head*
Ohh yah! A dream!!! I had a dream, a vivid one too. It was weird, like all my dreams are... Umm, something about me traveling in this foreign land and buying phone cards... I know I know, who uses pay phones in this age? But it was strange that I was wondering around this desert town -everything was tan/brown in colour with dust, no greenery, no plants- and approaching this shop to ask about phone cards. I remember: the different cards had different amount of $$$ in them and served different purposes, like the $15 one was for long calls etc. A woman was explaining it to me.
Then I was suddenly looking at computer keyboards, and I wanted to buy one but it was too bulky. The scenario switched and I was making my way out of the town, and it reminded me of a RPG game where you choose different paths to take but they all seem to lead to the same way. I recall loads of sand and rubble and rocks...
And that's it! Heh, hen no yume... It doesn't have anything to do with my current situation but perhaps, it's telling me that I spend too much time with my electronic gadgets. Ahh well, I like noting down my dreams. Waste of time and waste of space.
*blanking out*
