My spooky tales part3- bei gui ya

Hi i am back after a certain period of absence. Hate me or like me, i am going to continue to deliver my heart stoppin stories to my readers. And each one promises to be better. Tonight's eerie topic is bei gui ya (to have a ghost sleepin on top of u).

In case u do not know wat is bei gui ya, i would do a brief explanation here. When u r sleepin and u r about to wake up or u r in a case of semi-unconciousness state, u suddenly feel a presence lying on top of u. U would not be able to move ur limbs or any part of ur body, let alone the strength to scream out in shock or in fear. U would be rendered helpless while the presence continue its attack on u till it's willin to leave. Some claim to hear its breathing or able to feel its touch, while some can even roughly see a vague figure on top of them. All these has not been scientifically proven. No empirical evidence can be taken except for accounts of the supposedly victims who has been through this horrific scare.

Science offers a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon, arguing that the 'victim' has been too tired. This results in the victim being mentally awake but not physically awake as the brain is unable to send signals to the body, commandin it to move. Well, this is very true, cuz i have experienced something like tat before, but trust me, i believe i can differentiate wat's tired and wat's not. . .

Ok. . when i was in jc 2, i got this bizzare experience which i can probably say its a "bei gui ya" ba. I was in my wonder world of dreamland, and i was dreamin about me goin to chapel in SA, which was rather weird, considering my frequent absence from chapel during j2. =P. Haa. anyway, when chapel ended in the dream, and i was about to leave the auditorium, i was told to stop in my tracks by a female voice from behind me. I turned around, and was faced with an unfamiliar face smirking to me, and sneering softly, asking why i was in a haste to beat a retreat.

I was suddenly rooted as if electricity struck me. A spasm overtook my entire body and i was jolted, waking up as a result. I found myself being stuck like a veggie and i could sense an eerie presence somewhere. I was unable to shout out loud, i was unable to wriggle my limbs, my body was clearly pushing the panic button but there was no life guard, no buoy to help me when i was practically drowning in fear.

I remembered my chants taught to me from somewhere i cant divulge. I quietly ignored my cold sweat that was breaking out and i juz continue to chant in my heart. As if a miracle somehow happened, i found the pressure on my body slowly releasing, and suddenly i was able to move after a period of probably 5 minutes which seemed like eternity to shellshocked me. .

I related this account to my elder bro back then in the next morning and he was visibly shocked too. . as if lightning could never strike twice, he encountered the same spook in the same bizzare fashion as me. He was in a dream where his name was being called out by a female voice and the horror replayed again. He told me later in the week that he could see vaguely a shadow on top of him when tat happened, and when he chanted his prayers, the presence seemed to lash out at him by becoming fiercer till he managed to break free.

What a scare for both of us tat time!! anyway, my bro was complainin that whole week tat he felt a unclean presence goin around the house. Eeee.. . .

I am gettin goosebumps every minute i am penning this true tale again. It shudders me to think of it. And oh ya, recently, i got the same unbearable experience again except it lasted only for a short while this time. I woke up to a jolt again, and this time, i clearly felt someone pullin both of my legs. It was definitely unmistakable and really scary!! when i broke free, i could feel something watching me from the corner. Brrr......

Hmmm. dunno wat u gotta say, those who manage to finish readin this story. feel free to leave any comments if u ever experienced the same thing before. I want to know how u feel like when u r being pressed by the unrelenting presence.

Be horrified. My upcoming tale is about toyols- the ghost child that lived one level above me.

黑與白1

小黑: "風來了."

小白: "對. 風的確來了. 可是它要走時, 又有誰能留的住它呢?"

小黑:" 難道它只是帶來了虛偽的暖意和短暫的清爽嗎? 難道它就不能體會我此刻的心情嗎? "

小白:" 起碼我不這麼認為, 短暫的快樂也還是快樂. 如果風走了, 就必須再忍耐. 如果它真的不再回來, 也必須堅定的活著每一天 , 因為快樂不會真的離開."

小黑:" 你總是那麼的樂觀, 總是那麼的開朗, 總是那麼的陽光. 為甚麼我就是做不到呢? 唉. . .

小白:" 快樂畢竟很難真的跟悲傷脫離,就像是在太陽底下, 影子一定會出現. 可是只要往好的方面想, 人就一定獲的跟堅強和快樂!

My spooky tales- The radio

Its my fav bedtime story again. Yes after the prelude, i am back wif another true tale to tell. I urge my readers to take my story with a pinch of salt, even thou my stories are true and factual accounts to begin with. Its understandable that not all people believe in supernatural stuff, disregarding them as far fetched and deviates immensely from the realistic world where science reigns. Haaa, if u are one such reader, just treat my account as ur fav horror movie and armed urself with ur bag of tidbits and pop corns. For the others who rather gives the benefit of doubt, thanks. Well, lets not whet ur appetite anymore. I shall commence on this short story, "The radio".

I remember quite vividly this unnatural tale that happens around 3 years ago. I was still a jc student, with my regular mushroom haircut, hair dry and dark like ur ordinary mob that can be found at the corner of any well equipped bathroom. It occurs on a saturday and it happened around 11 plus pm, close to midnight. Well the timing does not come as any surprises, as such unnatural events tend to unfold only at night. It is only normal that we expect any supernatural occurences to happen around a ungodly hour at least,, but when it occurs at your own house, wat do u say about that?

Well, the incident did occur at my house, my own living room. I was watching a chinese show alone. My parents, auntie and all were tucked snugly in bed, enjoying the pure fantasies of wonder dreamland. My brother was still outside with his gf, if my memory still serves me. Anyway, this is not the main point. The most amazing thing happened when i am watching this show alone with the lights off, and only the tv still blaring.

When the show went to commercials, my ancient hi fi which was situated right behind me, decided to give me a surprise. And it came as a freaking big shock! This hi fi at that point of time was still in working condition, its condition similar to a old horse that has slogged its guts out in its hey day and was enjoying its well deserved retirement. In any case, it was bought 10 to 20 years ago and it was seldom used at that time already as we had purchased a new stero system then.

SOo wat did it do? It suddenly came to life and music came out from the speakers. The music was almost inaudible and the sound quality was poor with a quite a lot of interference. It was a never heard of chinese oldie and sang by some unfamilar female singer. If i could ever remember the tune, i would hum it out to those that are interested in the song, but sorry, i couldnt. It was freaking me out and i remembered that the power to the hi fi was never on in the first place, so how could it defy my sanity and convention?

I braced myself and feigning as much courage that was left in my body, i whispered to myself how come this could happen. Searching for a voice to comfort me. i even bent down to check for the switch that was connected to the hi fi. NOO! No power was supplied to the hi fi at all! I stood up and looked at the hi fi again. My goose pimples raised. The hi fi as if in sinister glee, reflected that the power was still on and the music still reached to my ears. What a welcomin sight! !

Haa, not to be beaten, i sat down and continued to watch my show, justifyin the phenomenon as a sudden surge in electical flux or magnetic flux, careful not to insinuate that some strange stuff was at work here. After some while, the music managed to die off, which was lucky for me. .

After this fateful incident, the hi fi could never be used again. It is finally resting in peace. However, it was never thrown away and is still at the same spot as a mantel piece. HAHA. Hopefully, it would not rise from the dead and deal me a greater surprise. Even now, at this moment when i am penning this tale, my goosepimples are raised and even without any breeze in such a hot night where the air is still.


Hmmm, did u ever experienced being slept on top by a ghost "bei gui ya"?
Stay tuned to my next tale. . .

My spooky tales- the prelude.

Before i formally begin, this is not for the faint hearted. The story that i am goin to relate is not of gore or violence, and they would be no explicit content. Just take care not to read it at nite or even alone. U do not want any frightening nitemares. And take care not to peep too hard into the computer, well u noe. . . All the cliche stories of ghosts comin out from things that they should never, like the famous movie" The Ring" U would not want one to pop out from ur pc. Stare hard enuf, and u may see something. . . . .

Oh so u have pressed on. Welcome my dear adventurer. U hav shown guts and valour. Oki, to the main story. Well, the area that i lived, which is Queenstown, is one of the oldest residential estates. The disconcerting thing is, the area was formerly a burial ground before it was cleared for housing development. This is probably a reasonable explanation for the atonishing number of churches built around the area. Well this is my own hypothesis, and it does not take into account the views of professionals or any other plausible reasons. If u do not know why churches are a valid reason, i can tell u that churches are considered holy and it can help to supress any supernatural beings that still roam the area. About 5 to 6 churches reside around my area, and they are within 2 km away from another. A rather huge number, considering the proximity. I guess this does indicate something, isnt it, my readers??

Hmm, and my pathway back to my block from the mrt which is just a 5 min walk is rather dark and eerie when walkin home at night. THE light is juz bright enuf to illuminate the pathway infront but it does not allow for clear vision though. And sometimes, the lights are juz too freaky buggy and they would be spoilt on the odd nite home. To add to the mysterious and uncomforting part of taking the doomed pathway back to home, there is a huge tree wif all those vines comin down from the upper part of the tree. I believe the tree is really old. And i always feel there's some mysterious force at work whenever i pass the tree. Furthermore, pple set up an altar over at the tree to pray there. It just makes me nervous whenever i smelt the sandalwood that they are likely to burn at night when i take the pathway back home.

. . . Hmmmm.. . i got more spooky experiences to share but now is the time to stop. watch out for my spooky tale- part one, "the radio". Publishin soon depending on my crazy schedule.

I am a Chihuahua!

Took a test at http://web.tickle.com/dog/ to test wat breed of dog i am and the test says i am a
Chihuahua.

The below is a brief description on wat i am like. If u are interested, u may find out for urself wat breed of dog u are, as there are only 15 qns and takes quite fast to finish.

No bones about it, you're an energetic, devoted Chihuahua. For your breed, size definitely doesn't matter. After all, sometimes the best things (diamonds, car keys, Godiva truffles) come in small packages. Honest and straightforward, you're never afraid to speak up for what you believe in, especially if it's a cause near and dear to your heart. Having such a passionate personality can come with a few drawbacks, though. You can be moody at times, and people often find it hard to live up to your high standards. But once you make a friend, it's for life. Saucy and intense, your energy and unfailing loyalty make you a great companion. Woof!

Mad about this song. . .

大城小爱

乌黑的发围盘成一个圈
缠绕所有对你的眷恋
搁着半透明的脸
嘴里说的语言完全没有欺骗
屋顶灰色瓦片安静的画面
灯火是你美丽那张脸
终于找到所有流浪的终点
你的微笑就输了疲倦
千万不要说天长地久
免的你觉的我不切实际
想多么简单就多么简单
是妈妈告诉我的哲理
脑袋都是你
心里都是你
小小的爱在那城里好甜蜜
念的都是你全部都是你
小小的爱在那城里只为你倾心
让我大声的对你说
i'm thinking of you
那回城的票根你留做纪念
不必害怕面对离别
剪掉一丝头发让我放在胸前
走到那里都有你陪
相随
oh~~念的都是你全部都是你
拉拉拉拉拉~~~~~拉拉拉拉拉
那一种寸步不离的感觉
我知道就叫做缘

Tiger tooth

OH todae weiqun mentioned that i got a straight set of teeth. Happy to hear that. i like my smile actually. i got the corny and wry look when i smiled. Yeah. and the main reason why i so 自戀狂 is becos of my "tiger tooth" "老虎牙" on my right side of my upper set of teeth. Fish Leong got the same tiger tooth too. It makes one look childish thou. But i dun mind that, cuz I have one similarity to Fish and that matters! Yippee. =))

THE CAGE

Drats. Participated in a futsal competition organised by NUS todae. The soccer competition was held at kallang- THE CAGE, which boast the first ever local indoor pitch for soccer lovers. Haizz. but the competition ended for us at the group stage with only a point out of a possible 12. THat is disappointing. HAHA but at least the result doesnt really reflect our standard as a collective unit. Luck and the lack of a finishing touch sums up the whole performance.

Anyway, the most entertaining part of the competition is the women's tournament. Woa, look at all the svelte babes in jerseys galore. Yeah. . . Haha dun mistake me for a pervert, even thou i unmistakenly is. . . =p. Some of dem are realli good. Perhaps i should start a women's league. it would be definitely lucrative given the amount of supporters that are present. And somehow the idea of women playing the beautiful games thrills the guys. Yepxx, the beautiful game should be played by gals, cuz some probably have to agree that the fairer sex personifies the more beautiful of the 2 sexes. A lot of guys would attest to that too!!

A few gals make it to my inaugural hall of fame for the tournament. The ranking is not in order. But i got my fav player.

the 1st one is weiqun’s cousin. Oh she’s one hot babe that pull no punches. The captain of her team, she is very verbal and organizes her team’s play.

2nd one is zidane. Made a mistake in the original post by quoting that she's in the same team as weiqun’s cousin. Thanks to Henry and NHSS 2E4 for pointing out the mistake here. She has wonderful balance. Haha juz like zidane. Perhaps she’s a ballerina??

3rd one is No2. she’s one big woman. Remember a incident where she fell down and she pulled her opponent down wif her. Its really comical.

4th one is JAS. Jas is a sweet looking gal who has great ball control. Her movements are sleek and graceful. And she can bamboozle the whole defence with her dribbling. Scored a hat trick in one match.

And my last on the list, and the one I like most is Debbie!! Yes its her again. if u dunno who is she, take a look from the link under my frenz's blogs in 2E4 black book. It can be found under the just for laughs section in file 001 tittled "Who's Debbie?" Played soccer wif her bf at nus and shes realli good. This sweet and petite lass can execute a loopin volley with perfect ease and technique and she got close ball control too. Debbie Debbie Debbie!! 3 cheers for her. Lookin foward to play soccer with her again if my team got the chance.

無名

我還以為我已經得到解脫.

我還以為一切都沒發生過.

可是我依舊心酸,

我的眼淚從來都不吝嗇.

難道我的快樂只是一齣戲,

難道我的微笑只是一種委屈?

我很怕不明不白的被悲傷吞噬掉,

但是我總是停留在時間的交叉口.


原來永恆是無法被時間磨滅的.

virtual crap

THinkin of karine. Who's dis karine anyway? dun ask me, cuz i dunno myself. . a person can juz takes on different names, juz like the same name can be used by so many people too. wat matters is the essence or the person u r thinkin of. . for example a name that does not mean anything to me can bring back so many fond memories or nightmares for another person. Maybe wat i am saying should not be juz restricted to names. .

anything, any people. . u.

Welcome to the stars in my eyes

the wonderkids session 2 days ago was quite meaningful though 3 of the talk cock gang wasnt around wif me. Sobzz, i was the poor 'o' loner. Haa, juz kidding la. I wasnt alone, i had the company of all the other volunteers and the kids wif me.

Entrusted wif the task of accompanying john, who is probably the most difficult to handle among all the other children. He wasnt naughty, he wasnt noisy, he wasnt really even quiet. He juz happens to live in his own world, one where no one exists, except his wonderful world of wonderbros and his passion for drawing. WHY wonderbros? i dunno. I guess he may be enchanted by the colurful shows, the interesting animations or something else? anyway, He wun even look at u, he wun even respond to u if u talk to him. juz give him a pen and paper and he would be totally engrossed and be drawn into his own fantasy world.

HE's got a knack for drawing. i think he's juz 6 or 7 if i am not wrong. and the things he can draw is amazing for his age!!! this particular session, he was drawing the logo of wonderbros. U can see how observant he was wif the details as he can remember the words on the logo and including the tm that followed wif it. (if u dunno wat the logo looks like, u probably dun live on earth. but i welcome martians or other aliens anyway). And he was a perfectionist. he would stop drawing every now and then to view his work, using both outstretched hands to hold his picture like an experienced artist. then he would add in the most intricate and delicate details till he was satisfied wif it. Being such a perfectionist, he drew 3 of the same drawings until the last one where he smiled to the picture wif an unaffected grin. He was obviously pleased wif his work.

Haizz, for all his talent, he was juz too withdrawn and altruistic. but he's gradually improving. wat heartens all the volunteers over at wonderkids is seeing that the kids are showing signs of improvement. IT may be litte, but we can still see the glitter. THey would always seem affable to me, even john too...

would like to end this post wif wat john wrote when i told him to write something on the whiteboard. wat he wrote led me to deeper thots too. "Welcome to the stars in your eyes".

Can u see the gliiter or sadness in my eyes even tho my words come out dead?

MOod: still convalescing. .

Ur friendly neighbourhood service blog

Got to my second dae of work todae and everything is goin on fine except for a one or two minor blips. Haha it is a vast improvement as contrasted to the first dae where i bungled on several occasions. Hmmm at least i can see that the number of errors that i made should be decreasing at a rapid expotential rate. Hahaha, hopefully it would not become a sine curve instead. And something worth a note of mention is the praises i got from my colleagues. Yeah! ! Even big boss said that she was very impressed wif me after a short questionaire to test me on my service skills as a cashier. Yepxx, crapping is my talent.

A short note on my friendly colleagues. They would be happy to serve you if u ever go SPC Queensway. We are the friendly neighbourhood service station staff!! =)

The list goes in order of their seniority. At least from wat i see. . la lala lalala

1. Big Boss

Oh i dunnoe her name at all. Onli saw her todae. Hee. . She seems quite friendly la, and also rides on a wave of confidence. 30+?? i tink soo. haha heard her mention to a station manager of another spc kiosk that someone mentioned to her that she looks like Zoe Tay. ER.... dun tink so la. but she dun look bad.

2. Station manager

His name is Alvin. Hey he may be not as tall as his average counterparts, but he packs a punch. Can be friendly to his staff, but he is very clear about drawing the line. Very unassuming and assertive in delivering his duties. Think he is one of the youngest as compared to the other station managers who came down to our outlet todae for a trainin session. Haa and he is the spc new face of the year. dunno wat that implies oso la?

3. Assistant station manager

She is Lillian and she is perhaps the most experienced of all the staff judging from her grey hair. NO OFFENCE tho, she is really very nice and understanding to her staff and she got a knack for remembering details. During my first round of interview, i told her the days and the hours tat i would be able to work. Haha, when i was about to leave tat dae, i needed to confirm wif her when and which dae i would be workin exactly as i got STM. woa she remembered all. And this wasnt a one-off incident. She displayed her amazing memory again. She could remember exactly the number of packs of cigarettes being sold yesterdae and for each individual brand and type too. Awesome!!!

4. Assistant shift manager

Named Serene, she is one meticulous person. She is adept at handlin all the minute details and she is considered my mentor. Haha she taught me the most and i was praised by her for being a fast learner. Haha at the rate i am goin, watever scarce humility that's left of me would be gone like the wind. Anyway, i observed that she got quite a short temper. She can get quite exasperated when teaching me stuff. haha

5. Assistant shift manager

She's Linda. She's easy goin and i find it very comfortable to strike a conversation with her. She has 3 sons, pri 3, pri 1 and 3 years old. Hmmm. . she's lookin for a tutor for her sons, and it appears she's quite ok wif me to teach her sons. Great! another source of income..


Haahaha. there's still many more but this is a few first lor. tired to write about so many too, and the others i didnt have a chance to talk or work wif dem for long. Hehe. . ok ending off soon. . Goin later to UAN (United Artiste Network) for a face to face evaluation. Another source of income???

(ps: TO MONEY CRAZY me, keep my options open)

The Untittled Track

Organising my tattered thoughts that was formed out of the miraculous thin air back on track during todae's twilight run. Haa now currently playing the organised untittled 'track'. Dedicatin the below lines to all my frenz, be it old or new, close or distant, happy or sad, fat or thin, male or female; those who do not just know me as a great man, but me as a great friend. HAHAHA. Siao la, stop my crap. Throw away all the randomness, the verbal atrocities, the monstrous animosities, and the dripping
sarcasm that was not intended for the intended audience. Okie, frenz, the below lines are for u!

I am contented to hear your voice, juz to know that u are fine,

thinking of you, seeing you come online.

I know that u are juz like the air,

u would always be there.

Becos of you, i can be strong like the Wind that blows,

Becos of you, i can be calm like the Waves that flows.

Let me say this 3 words to all my frenz, I love U.


(ps: i juz love the last line, it can be as disgusting, yet as sincere as can be.

等待. . .

等待可能是一種苦痛, 也有可能是一種快樂.

等待可能會帶來辛酸, 也能意味著幸福的來臨.

它也許只能換來一次又一次的失望, 但它還是會為人們帶來一絲絲的希望與陽光.

它有可能是一個無情的結局, 可是也是一個更美好的開始.

就像門已被冷冷的铨上時, 另一把鑰匙與門又將為你而打開.


不論世界發生什麼事, 我一定會把這卡片寄給你的. . . .

矛盾的心情

窗外放晴了, 屋內仍繼續下雨.

我微笑, 並不等於我快樂. 我撐傘, 並非只是為了避雨.

你永遠都不懂我在想什麼.

我想擁抱每個人, 但我得先溫暖我自己, 請容忍,

因為我已在練習容忍你.

(ps: 我雖是悲觀主義者, 但是我也是樂觀愛好者. . . )

Aiyah, contented as long as i have a job and a stable income liao, even if the money may be peanuts. I dun mind really, haha unless i am really literally working for 'peanuts.' Starting work tomolo. Hope it would be a defining moment for me. YEah!! =)

Got a lot of stuff tat i wanted to blog about dis few days but found myself busier and busier. . or rather the lack of commitment to write in my beloved blog. Hahaha. Anyway i got to use this outlet to stamp out my lack of time discipline. Here i mean my perpetual lateness. .

Got so many reasons to cover myself that i am startin to wonder whether they are geunine, or that i never even make any conscious effort to be early. I think its the latter anyway. Okie, here i aplologise to everyone who has ever waited for me. From now onwards, if i were to be late for more than 10 min, i would treat the person who waited for me a 2 dollars worth of food and beverages. Subsequently, every 10 min would earn the person 2 dollars, rounded up to the nearest tenth. But a catch thou, the person must mention to me that he is aware of such a strange condition and get me to pay up.

Trust me. I wouldnt be late again. . .HAHAHAHA
