Western VS Eastern

What we Asians considers of a supernatural sighting? A vision of a dead. But for the westerners, an orb are considered as a supernatural sightings. It's because the orb are a concentrated energy of the spirit and thus, instead of a shape of a living, it's an orb.



I never taken it seriously in the past and tonight, after I copied my photos to my computer, I was surprised at what my camera has got. An orb, or perhaps its just a reflection of the snow from the flash.



Aniway, the judgement is yours. Take a look of the below picture which I've just taken earlier:

Yes another experience.

howdy... been long since my last words in here. You know, although this is called "Strokes of inspirations", it's nothing about me writing something artistics or whatever. I just need a name for this so that I've got a channel to present my experiences.

Anyway, let's get to the point where you guys are here for. here goes.

It's has been raining for so many days that I've forgotten the feeling of those hot ray hitting upon my skins which, I had it last week, was more comforting compared to the cold water fallen from the sky. Reports of floods shocked half of the Malaysians and Johoreans are totally stucked from where they are now. Going to and off work are not and easy task now as major roads are either flooded, congested or slightly damaged due to the rain. Everyone is cautious when they're on the road.

I was, as usual, driving to town where I live after sending Jess just after midnight. It was still raining and the road was kind of lonely, it seems stranded with not much cars passing by. I wasn't paying attention to that, rather, I was enjoying the fact that I've got the whole road to myself. Not to risk anything, I still drive the way the road was supposed to be driven, maybe a lil' fast, I admit. It was drizzling after a whole day of consistent heavy rain.

Suddenly, I see a lady by the side of the road standing waiting for something. Maybe a cab or whatsoever. Her existence was imminent as she was not really by the side of the road, but on the middle of the left lane (so dun say "gal mar, u sure can see one"). The gal, I assumed as a Malay gal, are of average height, shoulder length hair with a bad bad bruise on her knee wearing a yellow or green spaghetti straps tank top and a jeans or some sort of it. With the recent happenings of rapes, robberies and etc here, I decided to do a good deed, thus, slowing down my car and ready to stop.

As I get nearer, she don't seems to be what I've saw earlier. But then, something different, different than any other girls you would normally see or noticed. She was floating. Yeap, not very high, but then, it was noticeable that the legs which are without any shoes are not touching the ground. On that instance, I decided to speed off, not risking myself or anyone. After all, it's late.

However, I saw her waving. Not to stop me, but to bring my attention to something beside the road.

"Weird, what should there be at this time of the hour?" I questioned myself.

Overcame by curiousity, I decided to investigate. Stopped my car and went down with an umbrella to check out. She approached me, but stayed quite a distance away due to the amulet I'd with me. I was kept safe at this point if she was up to no good or something like that.

She was pointing toward the bushes indicating that's something inside and urge me to check on it. Her faint facial expressions indicates that either something inside needs urgent attention. So, I went deeper.

There she is, lying down facing downwards in the bush, either a victim of robbery or attempted rape. That explained that wound on the knee. The soul must've gotten out of the body as her only thought is to get help and not realising that her soul has left the body.

Wasting no time, I forced the soul to the body immediately as the body still has the heat. Shortly, she resume breathing, much to my relief. After that, I woke her up and get a few details to make sure she are well. Then, I sent her to the nearest police station.

As it was late, I left the police station leaving her to the care of the police with a good feeling of able to safe another life.

Cheers.

Hantu Galah.

Why itz called Hantu Galah. Thatz is because they are so tall that you don't actually see them at all. All you see is their legs. Encounter as follow:

It was abt 5++am in the morning as we're abt to set of to Pasir Gudang for an early assignment cum research in Pasir Gudang so I was at their home since the nite before. We were outside the house preparing, smoking and chatting before setting off. Being a group of 5 late teenagers, I admitted we're a noisy bunch and there's always laughter when we're around. And itz so hard to control.

As I was tying up my bootlace, I noticed that there's two thin rods was moving up and down on the road as tho there's someone walking on stilts and also there's no more chattings as they change their focus too. As I look upwards, I noticed that the "legs" are tall, curiously, i went outside (where the roof of the porch ends) to see even clearly. Before my fren can warned me, I learnt that itz a bad decision.

As I look upwards, The leg grows longer and longer towards the sky and I can't lower down my head. My head is stuck looking towards the sky for a few moment until it's gone from my sight. Then only I felt my head is free to move again. And I felt the stress on my neck after that. The feeling lasted me a few hours on that day.

Ever since then, I learnt my lesson and will not raise my head to watch it if I ever noticed two rods moving again.

Cheers.

In Cherating

There was once when I and a few frens went to Cherating Beach fer two days or so. On the way there, one of my fren have to answer to natural calls but then there was no public toilet or any petrol station to be found after covering a distance, thus we stopped by the roadside and build a temp toilet for her.. Then we resume our way to our resorts.

We reached the Resorts around the evening and we then proceed to have dinner after checking in to the resorts.

Suddenly, this fren of mine requested to go somewhere else which was like at the other side of the town and when the passangers of the car tried to joke with her, she turn aggresive and furious. This scared the drivers and call our handphone fer help.

Then we turned back to the resorts without having our dinner. After that, I then bring her back to the room and the rest went to the resorts lounge to take their dinner as it was quite late and most of them is hungry.

In the room, I asked wat happen to her and why did she wan to go to that place and she says that someone is waiting fer her there... AFAIk, she has nvr came to Kuantan and has no relatives other than those in JB.. Thus, I continue to observe her with a lil' more detail.

After a while, when I called her name, she didn't reacted. When I call miss, she looked at me. Then I knew wat happen oredy. Immediately, I took out my amulets and then chant some prayers. She was shouting the moment I started chanting and tried to attacked me.

And as she was approaching me (seriously, I was thinking of whether to whack her or not if she attacked me coz she's after all a lady and my fren leh.) she fainted. I was relieved.

I called her name very very loud to wake her up and also put some talisman on her to ensure some unwanted things are rid off.

I was waiting all the while with a rumbling stomach(I tell u, thatz one of the worst case scenario lar) and all I can do fer that god-knows-how-long-it-is and all I have to fill my stomach is my trusty Peryllis-Merah-25. And calling her name interval make sure it;s the rite person that woke up... After some while she woke up... And by that time, my fren came back too...

She seems normal to me and after some rest, me, her, and two other fren went to the restaurant fer dinner...

The dinner was peaceful but as we on our way back to the room from dinner, I saw a figure standing outside the corridor and calling out either to her or to me. The gal instantly got freak out and to prevent her from being posesssed again, I grab her by the hands and all of us rushed back to the room.

According to my two other frens, they saw the figure too but wasn't very clear. That nite, the gal shared a room with me with another couple. As my door have sticked on a talisman, I'm quite sure we can have some peaceful sleep after a tiring day.

Alas, I'm wrong....

While we were sleeping, the gal dreamt abt the thing and she asked my fren to bring her to a place. Some place where someone was waiting fer her. According to her (she woked me up in the middle of the nite, sweating and shivering), someone is waiting fer her and she really need to go there. When my fren asked her she dunno the place, the thing replied that she can bring her there and ensure my fren that no harm will come to her. According to my fren, she saw a vision of the place and it's somewhere she never been too. The thing oso said that she'll be waiting fer her until she does so or she'll bug her forever.

Then she woke up and destroy my lovely much needed sleep and tell me the story, Thus I washed my face and peeped out of the window. I saw her just outside the window (mind you, my room is at the second floor with no balcony). I then open the window and asked her wat did she wan. She told me that my fren had promised to bring her to a place and then my fren straight away denied that claim. I then scold that thing and asked her to go herself and she refused. She also threatens me that she'll do something to my fren if she dun do so. I replied that if she is to harm my fren, I'll make sure she dun get a chance to reincarnate.

I asked her to go away and stop bugging my fren while we consider to help her or not. She then dissapear. My fren was shivering in fear this time and I wake the couples up to discuss abt this... They tell me not to bother too much on this and we'll go to a temple to pray first thing in the morning.

Well, i tot it's the easiest way out and we return to sleep with a light heart. Now she came into my dreams and keep bugging me to know watz the decision until I cannot sleep. I didn't tell anyone and I know that she's outside waiting fer me.

I kept vigil until the morning and once the sun hit the land, I rushed my fren to the nearest temple we saw on the way to the resort to do some prayers. As there are no medium there, no one could give me any talisman thus my worry start again.

Then I try to summon the thing to the temple hoping to help her but failed. I then went back to the resort to "find" her. Alas, found her in some dark area and told her that I can bring her to the place she wanted to but on the condition that she is to hide in a umbrella and not my fren body. This she agree.

When all is done and we are ready to go, I gave two of my fren a amulet/talisman each to protect themself against the thing. The journey was quite peaceful as she is quite co-operative and stood to our agreement.

When we reach the area, I put the umbrella in a dark place and tells her not to bug us again and we leave the area.

I then went back to sleep and then enjoy our holidays as planned.

My Penang Trip

Ever year, I'd make a trip to Penang to visits my auntie, a short holiday as well as perform some prayers at the temples there.

Last year when I'm there, I was told by my cousin that one of my distant cousin was possesed and the family is very worried abt her. He asked me whether can I do something to help her.

When I asked wat happen, the stories goes like this: This 15 yo gal was a quiet and fillial daughter who are quite an introvert and the family and frens/classmates loves and adores her very much. Six month before this happen, he got a boyfren and when she tried to breakup with her due to their differences of lifestyle, her bf was quite reluctant to do so and threaten her that he'll do something to her... Since then, her attitude changes and she became quiet and aggresive sometimes. her appearance turn to be very messy and seems listless.

Therefore, I agreed to take a look at the gal. For the first meeting, I asked me cousin to arranged a simple dinner somewhere outskirt and dark so that I can "see" the gal. Wat I noticed is she keeps looking left and right as though guilty of something.

Whenever I stared at her, she would not dare to look at my eyes and would evade my stares. Then things was getting interesting. After the dinner, I went back to my aunt's place and had explain to my cousin wat I've seen.

The next nite, I arranged to go to her place and asked the parents to take her out while I checked out the house. The moment I enter the house, I felt quite uncomfortable thus I didn;t really went in the house but check the house from the main door.

Seems like the house is a lil' "dark" and can see "things" passing by very frequently as though they stayed there. Even though there was a Goddes of Mercy which they prayed but there is no aura of the Godddes.(In chinese, the Goddess/or any god they prayed to has not been visiting or abandoned this house or coz of various purpose)

Seems like the house is cursed with something. Thus I prowled the 5 foot way to look fer something weird or farni... Happen to let me saw a coloured stone hidden among some vases and the moment I touched it, I felt a mild shock as though I've been electrocuted... And I dropped the stone again. This time, I summons "something" to my aid and protect me...

I summon "something" to neutralized a stone which I found among the pots and vase on the five foot way of their house:

When "it" appear before me after that, I asked fer "it's" help to neutralized the stone and once "it" done that, I can feel that the surrounding are "clearer".

he then tells me that this is some bad curse but not serious. Thus with "It" around, I enter the house and take a seat where I'm between the door and the path leading to the back of the house.

After a couple of minutes, they arrived home. I had myself being posessed by a deity and when the gal saw me, she dare not enter the house and was looking fer excuse. In the end, she sat at the doorstep with her mum. From wat I know, I was looking at her and she dare not see me and only glance at me. Suddenly, I felt light again and then I saw a black figure rush out of the house so fast and I gave chase... But I lose it, afaik, the deity too gave chase but then, lose it.

Knowing that the "thing" which posessed the gal would not come back as long as I'm there, I chanted some prayers hoping that would protect her from being possesed again. btw, that young gal is cute lar...

We want back home after that.

The next morning, my cousin told me that he dreamt of a young man warned him not to meddle in the gal problem or else he'll suffer oso... We then went to a temple to get a talisman fer my cousin. In the afternoon, we went to pick the gal up from school and I noticed that something is following her which makes me very curious... (Walan eh, the secondary school damn pack with leng luis in uniform lar...) I thus go get her and also to inspect wat is following her. That thing dissapear when I was abt to hold her hand. (Dun think farni hor, limpeh hold her hand to chant prayers).

We went to the Kek lok si temple and did some prayers until 12 somehting in the morning before sending her home. At her home, I was all ready to "catch" that bugger oredy but wat i know is that problems shud be solve at the root. Thus, I went to look fer the ex boyfren(no choice lar). I had quite a lengthy talk with the boyfren and interrogate him abt this issue. He denied fer a while until my temper got the better of me and I almost wallop him fer not getting the answer from him coz I can sense the truth is still not out yet. then only he told me the truth.

I lengthen my stay to two days and I gave the young man 24 hr to settle this issue or else, I'll make sure he suffer 10 times wat he did to the gal and the person who help him will end up more miserably...

Around noon the next day, I received a call from the young man telling me that he'd solved the issue oredy and I straight away call the gal to meet up. I took her to a shopping centre and three of us had a very nice talk and when I verified with my cousin, he told me that the gal is back to normal and then I brought her to few places fer a makeover which in the end of the day, she bcome a young SLL... hehe

At A bust Stop

There was once during my secondary year where I had a Red Cross Duty at a charity show in the Spastic/rumah org cacat.

it wasa round 11.++ pm when we are ready to leave. As usual, I left with two of my junior from other school. To hike a bus or sumthing, we are too walk 5 mins to the T junction and walk another 5 mins from the T juntion to a bus stop.

Opposite the bus stop is a malay cemetary and the road has no street lights or nothing and the only light source is the moon light has also covered by the trees branch.

We stop at the bus stop and rest hoping fer a bus to pass by and bring us to town. Meanwhile, I was chatting happily with my juniors and suddenly, I heard someone sitting on the long seat beside me at the bus stop.

Then, I felt a light pat on my shoulder. My juniors was dumbfound when I went quiet and as I turn my head to see who pat me, I saw a very very very old lady staring at me... I tell u, I was shaking oredy. How could there be anyone in the vicinity although there are several houses along the road.

Shortly, the very very very old ladyopen her mouth ans says "Cucu, masa ini sudah tak adaaa baaas."

The tone was very listless and immediately, I grab my juniors hand and run all the way I can. Never paused or turn back to see who is that...

They too follow and ran all the way fer abt 15-20 minutes until we reach a school and so happen the school has a St Mary Statues facing the gate and we just collapse in front of her gate... After that, we just took a taxi and went back to one of my junior house and spent the nite there...

NOte: Nothing happen at my junior's hse coz her parents were not at home fer a overseas trip and hope that we could keep her company after that scare. And I suffered coz sleeping at her house sofa and it was damn uncomfortable...

The End.

Walking Beds

My mum used to sells those hotels bar soups during my teens and I would often help my uncle to deliver them to some rural district sometimes.

As we had quite a tight schedule that day delivering soaps from JB all the way to Kota Tinggi (KT).

Weh we reach KT, it was quite late and we decided to spend a nite there at one of the hotel in KT which we delivered the soaps too. As we were too tired, we slept once we landed on the bed.

The room is arranged such in a way that the two parallel single bed actually against the walls and a telephone table was in the middle which stands a table lamp. The opposite wall is the TV and a rack with a dressing rooms. Overall is quite cosy minus the creaking sounds from the lousy bed frame...

Well, when we were sleeping, we heard some "knock, knock, knock, knock"... Due to the fatigue after a tiring day, we ignored it. And continue to sleep...

After a while, "knock, knock, knock, knock". This time, out of frustrations, my uncle went to the door to check who it is as the door do no have the peekhole. To his surprise, there's no one at the door. And he went to sleep.

After a few while, "knock, knock, knock, knock" comes again. this time, I'm gonna get the farker who is playing a fool on us.I took a few hanger and bind it together with a face towel and return to sleep ignoring the knocking just now.

After a few while "knock, knock, knock, knock", we then springs from our beds and open the door ready to pounds on anyone who disturbs our much needed sleeps. Again, no one at the door despites that...

So, we again went back to sleep again. After a few moments, again we heard "knock, knock, knock, knock". Argghh... We give up, we went to sleep and ignored the sound and continue our sleep. As far as I know, the sound goes on and off in a few interval thru the morning I guess....

I was sleeping soundly until my uncle woke me up in a panicky tone and when I open my eyes, his face tells me that something has shocked him so much and he has fears in his eyes. I tot something terrible happen thus springs up and asked wat happen, all he told me was to hurry up and leave.

Thus we left the room without washing our face or a bath. I took one last glance at the room coz of curiousity n stored the layout in my brain with that quick glanced...

When we was back in the car, driving to a nearby coffeeshop to wash up and have breakfast, I was still wondering abt the layout of the hotel room just now.

I asked my uncle wat happen that shocked him so much.

"The bed... It moves." He said in a fearful tone.

There, it was confimed of wat I was wondering just now in the car before bfast.

Wat happen is that the dressing table, and the TV rack has change place and they are at the location where the bed my uncle slept used to be last nite. while my uncle's bed was moved to another spot where it faces the windows...

After that, my uncle swears not to go to that hotel again. But went back after a few years...

THE END.

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.
