Careful on what u wish for...

On and off, we tend to wish things to happened and these wishes should not be made too casually or else, you may not be able to handle its consequences.

This happens to a friend of mine sometime ago which teaches us a lesson or two after that.

It was a chill nite by the sea where a few of us were hanging out with some drinks by the sea bay in town.

As we were talking, our topics of conversation drifted to women and jobs. My friends were talking about they problems with jobs and also with their other halves be it girlfriend or their wives.

"I just wish I got a a slim and pretty lady for a wife" a friend of mine wished.

I cautioned him that such things could not be made a joking matter and moreover, in such places. He throws caution to the wind and says its nothing and continued his words. Complaining that his wife nagged him alot and he felt stress and so on.

At that point of time, we were listening to his usual grouses and my eyes were wandering around the beach line hoping to see something "unnatural". Somehow, a blur shadow caught my eyes and I signal my friend to stop but he did not understand me.

The shadow was standing at it's original places for quite a long time and I've too been watching it observing it for quite some time. Partially listening to my friends grouses of their lives, I was thinking what is that and what has it encountered.

However, those questions did not find their matching answers and before long, I returned to the conversation actively and we're now talking about cars.

The night is quite late and we decided to end the gathering to go back to rest. We then returned to our own cars and drove back to our respective homes.

On the way back to my home, that particular friend who made a wish called me up for help as his car was stalled halfway and it wasn't far from where I was now. So I turned back and head to him to help him as I do not wish for a friend to be stranded in the middle of the night. As I reach, I saw his car with the double signal light of the car blinking by the side of the road. I park my car by the other side of the road and proceed to where he was. He was quite relieve to see me and tells me what had happened to his car.

The two of us then check on the engine for clue of any malfunctioning parts. Suddenly, we heard the car door slammed and our normal reaction is to check on who entered the car. But then, There was no one. My friend check on his car and find nothing wrong or missing. It was weird. I had a bad feeling.

As we do not finds obvious clue which might indicate a faulty part, so I suggested him calling a tow car after two previous failed attempt to restart the car. Somehow, he wanted to try again. Well, I let him so.

Surprisingly, the car did start and it seems like nothing has happened before and everything work well. We were puzzled.

"How would this happened?" I wondered.

Anyway, as I was too tired to dwell on this matter, I just forget about it and bade my friend farewell while i return to my car. My friend drove on and I too drove away from the spot.

Everything was normal and I did not feel anything strange until the second day where I saw my friend again. He looks tired and listless and his eyebag are really black.

To be continued.

Last may when my brother was admitted to Tung Shin Hospital. I was there day and nite looking after him. This include sleeping and eating there. I was there fer 1 week of 6 days and the first three nite was quite eventful, I experience sumthing and this occur to my brother as well but he was afraid to say. Below is wat I've experienced:

1st nite: I reach the hospital around 11 sumthing and me and mother rushes to the lift after enquiring which floor and ward my brother is in. The moment the lift reach and the door opened, I can see a black figure flied out of the lift with another shadows attached to it. I was quite surprised and in the lift, I told my mother that someone had just only passed away. My mom was like " how u know??"

I didn't answer her. When the lift reached the floor where my brother ward was, we rushes to my brother ward. In the ward, I saw a old man standing at the end of the bed where my brother feet lies looking at him motionless. i can sense some hostility from the old man and wasn't very comfortable abt this. Therefore, I woked my uncle up who took care of my brother and requested him to send my mum back to his place to rest. And I'll take over the place at the hospital. I noticed that the old man was still looking at my brother and my brother was pespiring. Seems like having some bad dreams. As I was quite tired after 3 hours drive, i fell asleep after a while...

Nite 2: I was sitting at the beside my brother bed chatting with him in the evening while waiting fer dinner to come (me mum tapau from me and my brader eating hospital food). Suddenly, the door opened but there was no one coming into that room. The door opened 45 degrees and paused I tot someone was holding the door or stuck so I went to check it out of curiousity. I see nothing and the door begins to shut close itself. I was quite shocked when I see this but then I didn't really bothered much. I then proceed to the toilet which is attached to the ward. Do my small biz, then wash hand. Suddenly, i felt a chill at my back and I had a feeling that "something" is standing behind me.

Thus I started to chant my prayers and I heard "I mean no harm. Please ask your brother to get out of my bed. Thatz my place."

Me still looking downwards washing my hand (dun wan to look u coz there's a mirror in front of me and I dun really wan to look at such things as I'm in a hospital.) replied to him "He is now having the bed and let him rest fer a few more days. He'll leave when time is up and you can have the bed fer all u wan. Please dun try anything funny or I shall do something abt it" And I start to chant my prayers softly. He just dissapear. That chill is gone too.

I did not relate anything to anyone and just kept it to myself. We spent the nite chatting happily and reading magz. I noticed that "it" came in every once in a while to check if the bed is empty. However, I can sense some hostility everytime he came in and it get stronger and stronger everytime he came into the room. I was quite worried by then n was thinking of a solution to overcome this. Knowingly that my brother can easily be hurt as he's still recuperating from the earlier operation. I then pass my wallet to my brother (contain three amulets which are enuff to protect a being from a non being) and ask him to hold it until i get back with the excuse that I've got things sensitive inside n bla bla bla. He accepted my excuse and held it stupidly in his hands... haha

I rushed to my car after that with chant of prayers running in my head hoping that fella will not follow me or harm my brother. when I reach my car, I took the buddha statue which I had "mount" on top of my third brake lights and held it on my palm and once again rush back to me brother ward. During the short trip, I again chant prayers to "charge" the statue. Normally I'll play a CD which is some chanting fer my car. Coz got two mar, one fer the front and another fer the back.

After reaching me brother ward, I placed the statue on the wall shelf facing the room. protecting my brother "territory" in the ward. i can feel that the ward "glow up" instantly and my assurance that the thing will not come back afterward. He spent the nite sleeping peacefully, while i roam the hospital fer some special sightings. hehe

i couldn't sleep coz of the overdosed caffeine in my blood system after consuming abt 6-7 cans of Nesafe mocha... therefore, I took the opportunity to roam the hospitals. I started at the receptionist asking the nurse (some of them quite pretty and a good chance to break the ice... hehe) I asked them if they know of any spot which are quiet and chill so that I can rest there as my brother are quite hot. They were quite reluctant to say at first until i tell them that I'm really very tired. They then ask me if I'm afraid of anything in the first place?? I act blur and asked them scared of wat type of things?? After all, I'm there to sleep only, not to explore...

Then they ask me again which I replied by inviting them fer tea/coffee at the canteen... they rejected coz their are on the shift and cannot leave the reception. "So, how??" I asked. They then finally revealed that there is a chilled spot in the hospital and the temperature is the same of a mortuary but then the floor has no aditional aircond but the central air con. No one including the guys dare to go there. I enquire more and they refused to say, so the only way to find out is to explore on my way. I thank them and then proceed to the floor they mentioned.

"Ting" the door of the lift open and I see nothing and the room are not that bright but certainly not spooky. I exited the lift and then observed the floor and the corridor but finds nothing which I can quench my thirst of curiousity. But then, I heard a sound of a fallen chair somewhere not far which I think it's just after the corner of the corrider. I was quite excited to hear that sounds and walked there at a fast pace hoping to catch something.

But to my dissapointment, nothing. I then heard again the same sound at the same distance and I again rushed there at the same speed and nothing again... To the amazedment, I noticed that the chair are all bolted to the floor and there is no way the chair can be overturned.

Thus, something is definately wrong somewhere. I recited a chant and hoping that would force the thing to appear before me but then nothing... Thus me explore the floor, inches by inches... peeping into every rooms from the tinted windows. I noticed that the rooms are darked and empty but are well maintained and the condition are just like someone has been tidying them very often. Suddenly, from the side of my eyes, i saw someone pass by seems like pushing a trolley... I then chase it. As I exited the corner, I saw an old janitor sweeping the corrider. I then dismissed that and as I'm abt to turn back, I noticed that his leg is only thigh and nothing below that. AH HA!! I was quite glad and then I approached him, pretending that I dunno wat is he... Upon getting nearer, he turn to look at me and asked me where I was going, I then tells him that I'm walking around coz I couldn't sleep and me in return asked him that y is he sweeping at such hours... he told me that the other cleaners are not doing the job well and are disgusted by them.

We chatted almost an hour and it's seems that he doesn't realised that he's dead... Poor soul. He must've died in a accident in the hospital.

I then excuse myself and race to downstair hoping to find some facts on this old man but some one stops me. A nurse... A old, short and has a grumpy face. She asked me what I was doing there and I told him that I was on the wrong floor. Cilakak!! she gave me a lecture and my patience is running thin as she goes on and on... I think got 20-30 mins, non stop... Imagine ur mum lectures u fer so long... I then walk away but I felt like my leg is numb and couldn't move. sh1t!! she cast something on me. I recited some prayers and then walked away. She shouted at me and I can see that she's really angry from her expression and that really prompt me to get away from that floor thus me summons "some thing" to help me.

Just nice, when I reached the lift, the lift open and the door is closed the moment I enter the lift. hehe... It;s the "some thing" which I summons which helps. I thank "it" n went back to my brother ward... satisfied to end the day after some "adventures". That time, I'm really satisfied with all those encounters and reminded myself to ask the nurse on the old man and the smal fatty nurse.

After I went back to the floor where my brother ward was, i straight away went to the reception where a nurse who happened to be in the reception and set a time fer bfast with her with some excuse and she agreed... Then, I went back to take a short nap as the appointment is just a few hours after this.

The morning sun shines thru the canteen and I was sitting near the windows so that I could get some decent puff of smoke after not having them fer the whole nite which is quite a torture to me.

The nurse reached shortly after that (and honestly, these white angles are dead gorgeous, will be damn grateful if anyone can set up fer me with one of them). I then starts the normal protocol of getting food, bla bla bla... Then once everything has settled down with empty plates on the table and half filled cups of Kopi and Teh, I begin my interrogation. I asked her a few things but she was really reluntant to speak but I know deep inside her that she knows the story and somehow are asked to keep the secret. Alas, I managed to dig everything out from this petite and lovely lady in white.

She told me that the janitor had a fatal accident a few yrs ago at the street few yrs ago in front of the Hospitals after working several shifts in the hospitals. His legs are crippled and had infections in several ocasions which in the end, the doctor had to severe them. He then lives in misery and despair and commited suicide one nite by jumping down the building. Since that nite, the floor which I "met" him and where his bed was often has farni noise and cleaning tools are always missing.

Then, after several months, the "Head of Nurse" was blamed fer these missing items and are put in charge of accounting them then record of everything used and one nite while she was doing her rounds on that floor, she saw him taking those things, she didn't realised that he wasn't mortal and starts scolding him non stops with abusing words. He then dissapear into thin air and that gave the "Head Of Nurse a bad fright where she had a stroke on the spot and are admitted to a ward. She had been hospitalised fer a few months (quite a long time, closed to a year according to the nurse). And weird things does happen to her, she will have nightmare every nite and whenever she woke up, she would says that it's the old man who is disturbing her again. She then pass away too in fright and heart attack/cardio arrest one nite in midst of her sleep...

"Wah... interesting."

Although I've some doubts with her stories but I guess this is the best I can get and I better be satisfied with it. After all, these stories are bought with promises to her that I'll bring her out to bfast and a nite out at a later date... After that, I requested with my mum to go to my uncle house to sleep as I was too tired mentally, physically and spiritually and wouldn't wan to spend another min here since all I need to know or done has already settled... Thus, I switch shifts with me mum and uncle. In the evening when it was my turn again to be in the Hospital, again waited eagerly fer the right time to arrive and do something which I've decided to which is to set things rite where it shud be.

I spent my evening "interviewing" the nurse abt the histories of the two person I've "met" last nite. It seems that the previous nurse are truthful and told me the fact and nothing but the facts.

Thus, I proceed to the same floor which is considered "Restricted Area" to the nurse and no ones will attempted to go there at nite or even at daytime when the skies are dark...

"Ting!!" This time, the lift bells sounds more like a warning to me rather than informing me that I've arrived where I wanted to.

I as usual, exited the lifts with calm in my heart still yearning to meet both of them and also hoping to see the "others" if they existed. Everything is very calm, after one round thru the corridor, nothing happened, no sightings. nothing at all.

"Weird!" I was wondering y and took a seat at the plastic chair by the corridor and wait. Knowing that something will happen or come by. True enuff, I heard sounds. Just the one I've heard last nite...

I inspected the row of plastics chairs again to ensure that they are bound to the floor with nuts. Yes, they are. Therefore, It's impossible fer the chairs to have movements which can produce sounds so loud. I immediately walked to the area and indeed, the "janitor" is there again sweeping the floor.

hahaha.

Glad I'm to see him again. This time, i called him as I'm walking to his directions and he turn and surprisingly, he recognised me. he greeted me back and we chatted while he was sweeping the floor concentrating on his work.

His face never once tilt up to face me but on facing the floor for any rubbish or stains to be cleaned. After a few minutes of walking, I suggested to him that we sit down n chat but he dun wan to and only agrees to it after some persuasion. He was real stubborn fer a mild mannered man like him.

I tried informing him that he's actually no more a living soul thrus hints and indications but I guess his IQ weren't that good and can't capture wat I've said which makes me real mad. He noticed it n asked me why. I didn't tell him.

After a while, I leaved him to continue to do his job and fer me to considered shud I deliver him to the place he shud be now... Rather than being here, where he does not belong. My mind is made. I shall help him. I again, chanted some prayers to summon the "somthing" which helped me last nite and passed the task to "it".

I know that "it" could do the job well and help this old man where it shud be. Now, fer the old nurse who are quite aggresive... I wonder why both of them did not met after life leh. I queried myself but no answer. I then forget about it.

After a few rounds of walking and looking around, I still dun see her but ocasionally, I can hear shrieking sounds of screams as though the pain is very terrible. At that moment, it really freaked me off. Sometime, immediately aftter screams, I would run towards the directions to check wat had happened but I never able to get to where the sounds had come from.

Weird... I think I was there like fer 1 hour looking fer her but then, still no signs of her. i tot of giving up but luckily I didn't. After sometime of continuous walking, I took a seat at the same old chair to sat just now to wait. Then, I heard a very soft sound of a very heavy door opens and the seems door is supported by pneumatic springs or absorbers. HAHA!! She's finally here allrite. I waited as I can hear some faint footsteps of soft slippers going to my way as it gets clearer and clearer which each steps. I can sensed some existence too as the footsteps getting clearer.

Finally, I saw her. The same old nurse in her same old outfit (the same stains on her skirts) and the same angry expression on her face... She saw me too and seems like she's not welcoming any guest.. She fastens her pace towards me while I was still idling at the chair waiting fer to reach me. Wonder wat will she do to me. Not something nasty I hope. hehe

The moment she reached me, she once again, scold me. I hate it when such things scold me with such authority tones... I immediately shut her up by shouting at her and told her some facts abt wat she is now and how did she died... She was totally shocked and went quiet. Haah... peace on my ears finally. After that, I just left her alone and went to the ground floor fer my ciggie knowing that I dould not do anything fer her fer now... I did not go up to that floor after that as I was bz with my other explorations with the nurses...

The next morning, my brother were discharged from the wards and I say goodbye to them in my heart hoping they'll end up where they shud belong...

A lonely Drive

The road is dark without any lightings and the only light is from the headlight beaming from the car which I'm driving. Although a little tired I may be but I'm satisfied with the food I had just and It's one of those delicious seafood which needs long distance of travelling into some remote kampungs.

I've been driving for about 30 minutes from the sea front restaurant and i know that there's still quite sometime to go before reaching the nearest town where the road will be easier to drive by. All i can see surrounding me is darkness thanks to the plantations by both sides of the road.
I had my faithful radio for my company which ease my driving and prevents me from sleeping in such a boring drive. Falling asleep will sure spells disaster as this roads is lonely and not much car pass by here.

From time to time, i take a habitual glance on my mirror to keep check of any coming vehicle on the back or whatsoever. But then, no signs of any lighs which would means there's any car that would keep me company. As I was driving, I feel the air conditioner temperature dropping steadily and i slowly fell the cold, then chill.

“It must have been the constant accumulation of cold air brought to the interior of the car that must have result in this” I thought.

I then off my air con as the cold is getting more and more intolerable. However, the chill still persist and it does not seems that long as tonight is consider a hot night. I then notice something wrong somewhere. My hair at the back of neck tends to stands and I felt something is behind me which makes me quite uncomfortable. Nothing else changes though and i keep driving as usual trying to ignore these changes. As i once again took a glance of the rear view mirror, i saw an image of a passenger at the back of my car which makes me look back again.

I was shock to see that and that explain the chill and also the hair raising phenomenon. I do not know what to do but only to drive on until reaching the nearest town which takes another hour to reach. I try to pretend being oblivious of the additional passenger in the car but then it doesn't allow me to do so.

“You know i'm here, aren't you” a deep stable voice spoke.

I was startled and look at the rear view mirror again. I see nothing but a shadow of what looks like a man.

“Yes, I sense you are here.” I answered followed by a brief pause.

“I can give u a lift but please do not disturb my driving” I continued.

It doesn't respond and throughtout the whole drive to the nearest town, the chill remains and I still see the shadow there on my rear view mirror.

“Thank you for your kindness. You shall be repayed in due time” the voice spoke again which once more, makes me jumped. I didn't reply but was just hoping to reach the nearest town as soon as possible as there's only another 30 minutes before I reach.

Shortly, i feel the temperature of the interior begin rising and became normal again which prompted me to took another glance of the rear view mirror. I was relieved. It has gone. And i continued to drive on until i reach the nearest town where the roads are brightly lit.

After a few days, I was told by my mum that she won first price for buying my number for her weekly lottery. I then recall the voice and I thank him in my heart.
