 | Japanese products... hmm.. this is a jelly drink... yeap... Jelly drink... it's like drinking jello (peach flavour). Damn nice to add to that. Feel like going to the store to get more but so lazee. But yet another cool Japanese product. This one was sweet though, which is weird, maybe it was the american version so they make it sweeter, cause stuff in Japan all don't taste sweet much (no wonder friends complain when they get here). Ahhh I miss them vending machinese in Japan.... They have alot of variety of stuff, it's amazing. Like think of the weirdest combination of food together, and they probably have it. But it actually tastes good though! |

yeap... like dat. |
Alrites.... so now like down to erm... the actual point of the post....
Dreaming in another language.
"Dream in Japanese, Dream in Japanese, Some language i don't even know how to speak"
-Moshi Moshi, by Brand New-
That line by Brand New always got me thinking. Is it really possible to dream in another language? I don't think so. That's why i also think it's not too possible to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't speak the same language as you do, since you can't really dream in that language, how you gonna dream about him? wuahaha, yeap that's my stupid rationalization.
Anyways, i don't think it's possible. Because 1) You don't even know the words to begin with. 2) Dude man, i can't even figure out Japanese grammar while i am CONSCIOUS, what more while i am UNCONSCIOUS! really!
Butttt.... my arguement that you can dream something foreign if you're too saturated with it... I wouldn't doubt that if you don't know a word of swedish and you're stranded in Sweeden for weeks, I'm sure after awhile you just keep hearing sweedish in your dreams, you know, whether it's ACTUALLY swedish or not, i wouldn't know!
Now that brings me to what's been happening these days. I've been dreaming alot. I also think it's cause i've been sleeping alot. And i've also been listening to that Pillows song, Strang Chameleon, yeap the song being played on the bg of this blog if u can hear it, ALOT, and i do mean ALOT... It's a 6 minute song and i've played it 80+ times in the past 1 week. But anyway, I keep dreaming about the song and i keep hearing the song in my dreams... Annoying, abit anyway, cause i mean it keeps playing in my head even when i am awake and now even when i sleep! BUTTTTTTTTTTT that's just normal... cause well, it's a song.
Then there was last night's dream.... I dream about.......... RAINBOW BRIDGE...
yeapppppppp, that's rainbow bridge.
Anyway i dreamt that me and Chad went there... Actually somehow i was in Tokyo... and Chad was there, we went for dinner (we went for lunch last week maybe dats why), and so after that he drove me around, and i could remember seeing tokyo tower between the buildings (somewhat like how i saw it when Rie was taking me around sight seeing)... And then we came to Rainbow Bridge and i told him, "HEY!!! CAN WE JUST DRIVE THROUGH RAINBOW BRIDGE???" (cause i had wanted to do this... due to an Asian Kung Fu Generation fantasy). So he said sure and we turned into Rainbow Bridge (of coz at this point, u shud know that i have never seen Rainbow Bridge like upclose) But anyways, there was a toll to go through rainbow bridge (in me dreams) and Chad was like "ouh man do we have enough money?" and i was like "it's okay, i do," (i had like $40 with me)... Anyways, we stopped the car to count our money and then we didn't know how much it was so we thought "let's go enquire"... well chad didn't want to go, so i told him i'll go ask the dude by the toll...
So i went out of the car and went around "summimasen"... first lady thought i bumped into her and so all she said was "summimasen" back to me. Then after that i decided to go to the dude at the toll booth. So i bowed and said "summimase"... then he greeted me IN JAPANESE YO. and i was like in my SWEETEST voice ever "ah... (pointing to myself) Amerika kara (from America) ah... Rainbow bridge errr.. wa... go on..." wuahahhaa.. damn my japanese! should stop skipping classes!.... "err... ikura desu ka?"... somehow he understood what i was saying because i was pointing i wanted to go on the bridge then he came towards me and was like "ah ah... *says something in japanese* (dude i can't write it down now cause dude, i didn't really understand it in my dreams but i know it was japanese!)... san sen en" ouhhhhhhhhhh... mentally in my head i paused for a few moments... san sen en...... Three hundred yen... okies! and then Chad came out of the car and i told him it's only 300yen to go across... which is $3.... then i was like ok, lets go... Then the guy said more stuff in Japanese (he even had this map thing out) and I had no idea what he was saying, i knew it was japanese, but i didn't understand much of it, but then, like actual situations where people do speak to me in japanese i usually have no idea what's going on 75% of the time but as for the other 25%, i usually understant the gist of it, so i understood that he was saying something about some else that we had to pay or do which was a problem cause we cannot do it when we were coming back through Rainbow Bridge.
Then i woke up.
BUT YOU SEE, he WAS speaking in japanese!!! and i understood as much as he said San sen en... Which is weird cause i can never catch figures in japanese cause they sound the same don't they???? Anyway, i think i know why i was dreaming "sen" and "yen" though was cause i was thinking about the Kanji (for the test) before i went to sleep. hmmm
BUT IT WAS STILL IN JAPANESE!
***************
hohoho... i would love to take a drive on rainbow bridge like the Asian Kung Fu music video for Siren...
yeap like that.... actually i really like the Siren video... I don't like the superimposing thing abit, but i really like the whole essence of the video cause i think it captured the feel of Tokyo quite well... i think!
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo TOKYO tower! actually the last time i saw tokyo tower was almost that far away... Except i was on the train of course and heading the other direction away from the tower.... zannen!
