Imagine a family owned dimsum shop. I felt hungry, so I ordered their only 2 chicken dishes, some chicken cube thing.. I was told it won't be ready yet, so I kept walking around.
Imagine an alleyway into shophouses next to this roadside dimsum shop. Its indoors, and air-conditioned. Its a different world inside. Outside looks like a dimsum shop on geylang road, inside looks like.. er.. a Gelare outlet. Inside was a McDonalds to the immediate left, and a long corridor leading to a cake/dessert bar. Everyone was courteous, and reminded me to visit the cake/dessert bar.
Imagine a fork in the road at where McDonalds would be. That's a fork that would lead to either the cake/dessert bar, and an unknown. I wandered in that direction. I reached a shop to my left selling roast pork and such. Smells good. *Why is my chicken taking so long for me to pick up?*
Imagine yet another side lane, leading to open air. Like a shopping centre wing connecting to a school classroom wing. Weird, but that how it went. After a row of 5 classrooms or so, There was a river, and a tree. Under the tree, was a cat. And an old woman. I wandered around a lot, and passed by the same places more than once. In and out a lot of random rooms in this "Shopping Complex", like game rooms, dance halls, etc. And all kinds of weird food stalls. Any food you can think of.
I eventually walked past that cat for the 3rd time. It was fishing. The line of the fishing rod led into the lone tree. And at that moment, it jerked on the rod, and pulled a baby kitten flying out of the tree.
The cat saw me. It grew fangs, claws, and its fur became all frazzled. Like a prehistoric feline. It stalked me for a bit, before chasing me. I ran towards the nearest classroom and jumped on the metal grilles attached to the windows. (The old kind, found in many old HDB estates) I.hung by my arms high up the windows, near the ceiling. From there, I inched my way back to the "Shopping Complex" along the classrooms, via the grilles.
With closer observation, it seems that the classrooms contained similar monster cats, albeit very much bigger in size, like an adult tiger.
I eventually made my way back to the McDonalds junction. There, I saw Christian and Ming Li asking me...
"When's your food gonna be ready?"
I woke up.
Welcome.
WANHIN Nurse.

Everything is gonna be alright. (Really?)
"Which would you prefer,
My finger on the trigger or,
Me face down across your floor?"
