If you let me have my way, Nur, with regard to how your dreams will come true, I'll let you have your way, with a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y everything else.

Most fondly,
The Universe

P.S And in the meantime, Nur, in case you're curious, there's little else you could do to maximize my efforts the most, than moving in the direction of your dreams, however small your steps.

Sometimes I wish I could just transport myself somewhere exotic, peaceful and magical. Like that Sookee Jewellery, the Star diamond advertisement. It was a long stretch of road. The trees were triangular and a black silhoutte against the starry, purple sky. When I looked at that ad, my senses just tingled. And I had the longing of going there soooo mucho.

Hypothetically, Nur, if you were to begin asking the world - best friends, complete strangers, or natural born psychics - why some things haven't worked out the way you wanted, how other things got so crazy, or what might be wrong with you (oh, please, no), they'd have answers. Oh, yeah.

Of course, at first they'd be taken aback, but they'd hide this so as not to hurt your feelings, quickly accept the authority you surrendered and talk their little heads off with reasons, rationale, and insight. Glad to be recognized and sincerely happy to be of service. And you'd both be further convinced that you have "issues."

So, let's not ever invent such opportunities.

Always beside you,
The Universe

P.S. You could always ask them about the square root of pi, or something, Nur.

If you could spend 24 hours with a celebrity:

Who would s/he be?
Where would you expect him/her to bring you?
Where would you bring him/her to?
What would you like to do with him/her?
What’s the one thing you’d been always wanting to ask the celebrity?
If s/he didn’t treat you well, would s/he be your favorite celebrity?
What would you give to him/her as a gift before saying goodbye so s/he’d remember you?

1. WOW, I can just DREAM about this man. I have two celebrities I REALLY REALLY want to go out with and the first one is obvious- TAUFIK BATISAH! and the other one is OPRAH. I want to spend time with Oprah. Yupp

2. I expect him to bring me to his studio to watch him record his songs, then we will go and eat somewhere that I don't know of. Then he will teach me how to play the guitar. The list is endless really.

With Oprah, it's all personal and business at the same time. She would take me to her workplace. And I'll ask her this bugging question: HOW DID YOU BECOME SO SUCCESSFULL! She is so rich that she can make a difference in this world. She can touch lives by helping to rebuild them. She is a WONDERWOMAN. A very inspiring woman. I want to be like her but it is once again, just a dream.

3. I would bring Taufik to one of those Netball matches...haha. And to SPH I dunnoe really. Anywhere my heart feels like. Oprah will be taken to the Esplanade.hahah. Dunno why. And SMU also. haha. Let her see the campus and see if she thinks it's surreal too.

4. I think this part is stated above already.

5. Oprah: How did you get so successfull? What did you do?
Taufik: How far do you want to make it in the music industry? How are you going to make that happen?
And I'll tell them that they have really, truly touched a part of me and changed my lives, in a way.

6. I believe they will treat me well because they are nice people. But if not, they will still be my favourite celebrity, just not my favourite persons.

7. What do you give Oprah who has everything??? I will give her a pillow with my face on it. haha. so corny. and decorated with lace and pearl beads and ribbons.
I'll give taufik umm a teddy bear with a dog tag on it that has my name and his name and the date we went out. and must have my face on it's t-shirt. hahah. so funny.

The most visible creators are those artists
whose medium is life itself.
The ones who express the inexpressible -
without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar.
They neither paint nor sculpt.
Their medium is simply being.
Whatever their presence touches has increased life.
They see, but don't have to draw...
Because they are the artists of being alive.
