The Land of the Rising Sun

I am in deep sorrow and I mourn for the people of Japan. I had 3 dreams (in my adult life) about tsunami and I felt relieved waking up knowing that there is still time for me in this world. I felt fortunate enough not to experience such devastation and such pain. I felt something therefore I am alive.

The first time I dreamt of a tsunami was approximately 3 months prior Tsunami struck Thailand. On my dream (in recollection) I was in a beach and the water was receding. I picked up my nephew (during that time, I have no nephew yet!) and ran as fast as I can to a water tank as it was the highest point I could think about. Then as I climb with my nephew propped, the water strikes and we were overwhelmed but I hang on to the ladder as strongly as I can. Then the water dropped and my nephew and I gasped for air and I started climbing again until we were safe.

The memory of this dream still etched on my being because after waking up I remembered telling it to everyone. After a few months, tsunami strikes Thailand.


When I was in Dubai, I dreamed of a tsunami again. On my dream, I was in Dubai Mall and there was an actress who seek for my fashion assistance and we have agreed to meet the next day at the same mall. I was with my friends (Kimmy, Perpie and BB) and I was in the window when I saw that a giant wave was slowly heading towards the mall. I screamed at my friends to run as fast as we can to the highest peak of the mall. As we climb at the roof of the mall, sand was slowly building up and covering it.

Please read the link below as proof of one of my tsunami dreams. This was dated September 2010.

Japan, I felt for you. I know the feeling and even if it was just dreams I was scared. I know that it would take a lot of time to get over this loss. I know that a loss of material things is no way near the loss of loved ones. I am sorry that you have to experience such catastrophe. I know it would take years for you to rebuild your country. I know the great loss you will have to endure with regards to your tourism industry. I know how hard it is for the families who lost everything that they have to gather the courage and stand again.

When I dream of such disaster I felt that I was going to die and I felt sick to my stomach waking up. Of course I feel so tired waking up, but the best thing is that, I am awake and I am thankful to the unseen mover of all for giving me another chance to start a new day and reconstruct my life and be the best that I can be.

Japan, I think the unseen mover of all would like to convey his message. I am not a prophet (and no way near that) and I might not decipher any clue but I think you are all strong and courageous people. Therefore, my prayers goes to you and your people. I hope to see your country one day and I hope to see you striving to your peak once again.

May the unseen mover of all bless us and may we also find peace in our hearts amidst the grief that we are all sharing.

"The problems we share are greater than the problems that divides us. And what divides us is of our own doing."
