My liang po po

When my grandmother passed away roughly 5 years ago, I was furthering my studies in Melbourne. I got one of those calls, from my Dad in Malaysia telling me not to worry and I didn’t have to return to Malaysia. Many thoughts crossed my mind, but I just said okay and found friends to console during this period.

My popo is always watching over me

I notice half the time, my dreams are visualized as I’m about to wake up and yesterday was one those times. As much as it was me worried about work, and being stressed it, the last bit of my dream left me awoken in an emotional state.

The last bit was arms wrapping me from behind and a whisper from an assuring voice I recognized very well, my grandmother. While others have their passed relatives shared 4D numbers with them, my grandmother just said:

Don’t worry, everything will be okay.

I woke up in a state of tears. Not only because I loved and missed my grandmother very much, it really gave me the feeling she’s always watching me.

Thanks popo.

A Geek’s Nightmare

Seriously, this morning’s dream was weird. Now thinking if I’ve been spending way too much time at the computer or in my work. Because I had a dream of falling victim to some stupid email scam, accidentally! WTF?!

Stress is distracting

In my dream, I was in the flow of doing my work and it was something I had to rush. Previously, the email marketing company I used did an exercise of requesting members to change their passwords. And, password change verifiers will be sent via email.

Because I was expecting to receive that email, I saw another email which was formatted pretty similar. Not in design but layout. It was a 1-column with text and a text link at the bottom. Now, I think here’s where I made my boo-boo. I didn’t read the text link and assumed it was for me to click and verify my password change.

Nightmare starts

I was suddenly involved in some dispute. My parents contacted me saying there was this person who said I owed them a huge sum of money. Reason being I had subscribed or purchased something from them. Obviously being spaced out, I denied it was true.

Until they asked me if I clicked the link an email. Uh oh!

Thankfully it ended

By the end of my subconsciousness, my parents said it was resolved. Though I vaguely recall in my dream, I told a friend I could sue the other party for having misled and not confirming my purchase first.

Nonetheless, it was quite scary being caught up in such a weird predicament. And do hope it doesn’t come about as a deja vu, ever.

Plus, to make sure I read all my emails before clicking ANY links!
