As I fell asleep in my uncle place, I had a dream. It was an unbearable dream. Fascinating and intriguing which I straight jot it down once I awake. Here’s the dream goes…

In the dream, I just moved into a 3 storey house with a porch garden at the sides of the house. In front of the house lies a huge parking space which could accomodate up to 3 cars. The place was very serene. Then, I walked into the home and suddenly, I saw G. She came down to KL with her friend, Miss A. Appearantly she decided to drop by my place without pre-notifying me of her arrival.

At the same time, my mom was on her short break from her monthly confinement job. I told my mom that she and Miss A planned to had a sleepover at our place since they didn’t book any accomodation yet. This time around, her aunt also came along with her to KL. So, my mom decided that she need to rearrange the beds so that it could accomdate the three of them.

G slowly pecked me on my cheek, right cheek to be exact and her action caused me to feel disturbed. It actually trigger my mind that it is a very disturbing message she is sending to me. Therefore, I grab courage of myself to ask G why. Why she decided to peck me on my cheek? Later, I found out that she was still feeling unsure and disturbed. She was confused about as of her direction. Her sense of direction in life.

She then said that she remembered that I told her before that there’s some spirits / ghosts stayed on top of the building which I am currently staying. These supernatural stuff where hiding above of the lot. However, unrelated to this was that I told her that I liked to spend some time alone with her above in the swing. I notice that the dream I had is quite similar to the typical setup in the Hong Kong movies/dramas whereby the rooftop can be converted to a studio type. In my case, in this term should be known as dream, the rooftop was converted to some mini garden with a swing.

I said that I didn’t go up there for quite some time. It has been a while and I felt kinda afraid to go up. Hence, she insisted that she wanted to go up there to seek some answers. I was thinking, seeking answers from the supernatural stuff? The ghost? What kind of answers she was seeking? I was curious in which I asked her what answer?

As we know, dreams often ended up suddenly, without a proper closure or endings. In this dream, it was left there and there.

I shall never know the answer to her question. Kindly note that I had this dream earlier this year. Looking at my journal book, it stated the date of April 29th 2007 dated 12.47pm. Yes, I do have my afternoon nap.

Replacement. Getting a new to replace the old. It’s all caused by the commercialised world. Do we ever notice that things are no longer repaired. The work and labour of getting certain things to be repaired is a lot more than purchasing a brand new one.

My housemate just got his laptop ruin. In order to get it repaired, it is going to cause him a bomb. Then he seek for the consultation from the local computer hardware shop; the recommendation was to get a brand new laptop which seems viable and acceptable. I was talking to a patron from my friend’s shop. Appearantly, this old guy did seek out from the local electrical shop and what they suggested to him was to get a new dvd player instead repairing it. Getting a new one as compared to repairing was like the 60% difference. Not much though and most of us will get tempted for paying a little extra to get the newer one; in which it has more functions that we might or may not use it.

Come to think of it. Is it because we human like brand new things or is it because that the manufacturer excelled in concealing the knowledge so that there won’t be many people knew how to fix it. Therefore, when no one knows how to fix they ought to get a new one? Of course there are things had their “Meantime Between Failure” (MTBF) and “Meantime Between Repair” (MTBR) which nowadays the MTBR does not applies anymore. A friend of mine sold of his Honda Civic because the motherboard was causing some minor problem. Knowing that not everyone is capable to fix it and these minor problems shall remain he quickly sold it off just in case in future there might caused him further headache in terms of monetary in the sense of maintenance.

Looking back, there wasn’t much stuff that was send for repair aside from the car. I had a 10 years hi-fi system which I don’t think there would be anyone wanted to fix it. The cost of getting a brand new set is about the same for repair. Maybe the replacement parts is also the killing factor. Electrical and electronics. Sigh* Not everyone knows what and where to solder. Therefore the best way was to get rid of it and purchase a new one. Maybe if we are lucky enough, the meantime between failure happens during the warranty and we can exchange it instead of waiting to be repaired.

The other friend of mine whom dealt with the handphone shop once told me that for certain mobile phone model, please pray hard that the screen won’t spoil. Once it is spoilt, the cost of replace the screen will not be cheaper by 10% of getting the same unit brand new. So, how many things that we are being coaxed to buy and replace instead of fixing it?
