a sea above the sky.

this drama on suria is about, from what i understand anyway, two girls who didn't really get along in school, til they are forced into the same family when their parents decided to remarry each other. well the song is nice.

so anyway, yeah. hadn't been able to wake up early to meet with zee syamirul. i hadn't gone out at all in fact, just to maccy d with my younger bro earlier. truth be told i think the filet o fish is pretty much slackened. it doesn't taste as good as before.

hey isn't that amazing? i'd talked about three different things in one paragraph. but no kids, that's not good. when you're writing letters be it formal or informal, each paragraph must have one main point, elaboration and an example. not like that douche above.

yeah let me be an English guru for awhile here. speaking of which, have you read my all-out English lesson post before?

so i'd continued with Mystifying in bed this morning, and i've two more stories which i really liked; "The Master" by Diana Wynne Jones and "The Whisperer" by Vivien Alcock.

i've no idea how to summarize the former without leaving any spoilers (if you want to read it, that is) but the latter is about how a girl seldom brings friends over for tea because of a ghost haunting her house.

this girl always goes to her friend's place for tea, so one day this friend of hers asks to go to her house for a change. reluctantly, the girl gives in and brings the friend home. 

it was a sad one, really. you should read it.

and, did you know that some folks believe there to be a sea above the sky?

once upon a time, a sunday; because people were coming out of church when this happened. they saw an anchor on one of the tombstones in the cemetery.

the cable from the anchor went all the way up to the sky, and where it came from nobody could see. just as they were looking at the strange sight, wondering what to do, the cable started to tug.

tug it did, as if someone from above was pulling it. they were all so sure that there was a ship full of sailors where the anchor and its cable came from.

the anchor wouldn't come loose because it was firmly clung onto the tombstone. eventually a sailor came down on the cable, and tried to loosen the anchor.

by the time he managed to loosen it a little, the church people had managed to grab hold of him, not allowing him to go back up.

then they saw the cable falling from the sky, as if the sailors on the ship had given up and just cut off their anchor. the sailor who was held back had died; as if he had drowned.

another story that contributes to the belief of the sea in the sky is this man who had gone on a voyage or something once, where he had dropped a knife overboard.
some time later, when he was home, that exact knife had fallen through his window. it had happened in the same kind of weather and around the same time of the day that he dropped the knife when he was on the ship before.

so there you have it. well, it's amazing indeed, but it's up to you to react in any way you like. i think it's got something to do with christianity, because it happened in church, and it was an anchor; you know how there's a hidden cross in an anchor?
