English lesson

Back in action after I bought my desktop and subscibe to broadband. No more frustrating dial-ups. My desktop set comes with a 19 inch LCD monitor ok? (*smug*) Dont know why I need such a big screen also but Superboy insisted that it is a good buy. However, it certeinly cleared my table space a lot. Now I can put my plates, mug, tissues in front of the screen and eat and goggle the same time. Isn't it fabulous?
Went dinner with a girlfriend last night and out of the blue, she started telling me about her fantasies.. oh well, how often do you get someone who would tell you their fantasies besides your boyfriends? She was telling me how she used to fantasize a Prince Charming rides along and wakes her up from her sleep. I was muffled initially as this is the first time I am hearing this from a girl. The word "fantasize" seems like such a taboo word. It's like associated with the words "porn", "sadomasochism", "kinky lingeries". Then it suddenly dawn on me that isn't "fantsize" similar to "imagine", to "daydream"? So, i checked out www.dictionary.com and this is what I found.
fan·ta·size
: to indulge in fantasy : create or develop imaginative and often fantastic views or
ideas
: to portray in the mind by fantasy
Ha! Then I must admit that I have been fantasizing since I was young! I am always imagining myself striking the lottery, score 50 points in a basketball match, Aniki Jin picking me up in a pub, or what would my life be like if I were born a Hollywood star. I guess "fantasy" is just a simple word for imagination but somehow it was made different by men. I don't know what's wrong with men but most of them time I guess their so-called imagination are filled with romping with a pair of supermodel twins or having sex with at least 2 or more girls, and preferably in tight see-through school blouses and ultra-mini pleated skirts. I don't think women are able to come up with any thing that creative except for biceps, triceps, a firm bum and a washboard tummy. So, do dreams considered some kind of fantasies too?
dream
: a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the
mind during certain stages of sleep.
: a state of abstraction; a trance.
: a wild fancy or hope.
: a condition or achievement that is longed for
: one that is exceptionally gratifying, excellent, or beautiful
I had a dream few years back that would make every girl envy me. I dreamt I was having a sensual session with the God of Men, Aniki Jin! The feeling was so real that I actually blushed when I woke up. Oh by the way, he was on top and I was just lying there enjoying the fantastic reverie...
