Racism

it is strange enough to dream about one of my fellow colleagues from the NSU and to make matters even more bizarre, the dream is about racism. this colleague of mine is OB, it is short for Ongston Bhearto. he is an indonesian who had been studying in the UK for the past 5 years. unlike the tua bui in my class, he picked up the British accent. he talked like a British, with the slang and all. his friends are mostly British. i am one of the lucky few Asian friends he has. =D

anyway, it was like a scene from harry potter where harry potter would peep into Dumbledore's pensieve. the pensieve stored most of Dumbledore's memories. i am not harry potter but imagine that i am in his position whereby i peep into my own pensieve. hahaha.. ok ok, back to the dream instead of wizardry tales.

OB was playing some table games with another fellow indonesian friend. they were then approached by a guy (i can't be sure of his nationality) and asked a fairly racist question. i tried to recall what was the question but the next part of the dream brought me upclose to a screen fixed on the table where OB and his friend were sitting. they were playing computer games and in the game, there were several boxes with different actions. OB hovered the mouse icon to the first box which says "one punch". the next one is something like "super punch" and as he moved further, the degree of punch gets more and more severe. of course, by hovering passed the actions would technically mean that he would want to punch the guy who asked the question. i guess he is trying to get his indonesian friend to choose which punch he should give that bloody bastard.

as usual, i didn't get to see the ending because i woke up with a startle. phew.. am glad i didn't see the ending or else my impression of OB will be affected. he is one hell of a cheeky guy in person.
