Dare to dream..

2 weeks ago, while taking a sip of tea in a beautiful cafe in town, I was thinking to myself what a beautiful world is this. I was literally enjoying myself, taking my own pace to savour the aroma of the tea as well as the surroundings. I felt in the mood for a holiday as I saw foreigners came by casually for their breakfast.


How would I realize that 5 days ago, an accident would slap on my path and left me wondering how fragile life could be. I was driving as usual until I came to a huge crossroad when the light was green for me to make a turn, and suddenly there came another car from opposite direction, came out from nowhere and flew like thunder heading towards my car. It was a split second, although it felt as if like the momentum in my life suddenly slowed down that very second.

I didn't have time even to catch a breath but my mind was flashing with so many thoughts. All I could recall was that, why is it me? Then, BaNG! My car was hit and was leaking. I was shocked, total shock. What had happened?

That night when I went back to my hotel room, I felt so vulnerable. I was silent, and I knew it. I just didn't know what to say. I went to the bathroom and took my shower. I went to bed folding up my knees like an infant, feeling so insecure. It was so cool. So silent as well. I closed my eyes, but the thought of it was so scary. I half-opened my eyes looking at my reflection through the window in front of me. What if I was dead by that time? Will I hate myself for not realizing what I have wanted to do all this while?

That, I was sure. I closed my eyes again and crossed my fingers so that when I woke up the next morning, it would only be a dream. That's how I could only comfort myself that time.

Nevertheless, being able to sit here and writing this article today, proves that I have so much to be grateful of.
