He Who Makes A Beast Of Himself, Gets Rid Of The Pain Of Being A Man!

Thursday, September 21, 2006

Have u ever had nightmares every time u shut ur eyes while hoping for a good night rest? Well i did, everytime i sleep at night in my bunk. I don't know why but there may be another occupant, i think. I really couldn't sleep quite well these past few dayz after coming back from taiwan. Not like before my trip, slept like a baby. There was a story before my trip and i mean this happened for real! Well, it was during sometime before a month duty near the ship yard. That particular night a few of us could not sleep that well. That night we were preparing for the next day parade. Usual routine, kiwi shine our boots. But hafiz was the last person to go to bed. He said while he were walking towards the toilet he saw sha & zan chating on their cellphone. But the creepy part was while he was sitting on the toilet bowl, playing with his handphone, he heard a person came in and use the squart toilet bowl 2 doors from his. When he went out to wash his hands he notice the door was half open. Luckyly his handphone rang when he's about to check it out. But still, he kept wondering who the person is course while he was returning to his bunk, he counted every men present in each bunk. Everyone was in bed. Wana know sha's story? Much more creepyer than hafizs'. What he told me was while sleeping he could hear his handphone droped no the floor. Then when he was about to pick it up he saw me not sleeping yet sitting on the edge of my bed looking at the window. But then when he was about to return to sleep, he saw me sleeping on my bed but the silluete of a person sitting on the very same spot. That alarmed to the max. He then cover himself with his blanket. When ever he pips, he would see the figure looking back at him. But then the next day he never told any body. Wana hear my version of the story?Well that very same night, i went to bed as per normal. The one thing that really freak me out was when i heard the similler voice of my buddys' beside my bed saying, "oi ada hantu... Oi ada hantu.!" (oi got ghost... Oi got ghost!"). Then i realise something. Why would anybody wana say that in a calm maner when there's a ghost and not panic or shouting. And then i felt that something was wrong with the picture. The air wasn't right. So as cowardly as i am, i glance a bit having my eyes half open. I force myself to sleep. But then still feeling that the thing is still there, i just said some prayers and fell asleep. The next day when i started asking my buddy beside my bed if he did woke up at night or talk in his sleep about ghost, he said no. But then the othes guys started spilling the beans. And thats how i get to know that somethings in this world does exist and may happen at any moment. Like what happened to that night. I just hope its a good thing though!

*Taxi ride!*

The other day i took a taxi ride from hougang to chaichee. Without knowing where chaichee is i told him that he could use the TPE expressway goin to changi airport. After we past sengkang/punggol, he pass pasir ris then to tampines. I only notice where he's heading when we reach expo. Damn he took the long route to bedok. The expressway route. Finally i told him to drop me of at the taxi stand/bustop. When im about to pay his service i ask him, "Uncle arh how come u go the long way ah?" Then he said "But u said go by TPE going to changi airport mah!" Then i ask him if he knows where's chaichee. Then... He said he dono! Aiya uncle ah why u never ask me? Although we both made a mistake, we never argue on who's right or wrong. The way i explain to him that if i were already 'tulan' i could've made complain but i didnt. I told him the shortest route & told him that if ever he is not sure of a place he shuld ask or clarify the destination. He smiles & return me a few bucks saying thank you. But hey not all texi driver know all roads. GEMS.... Service with a smile or assisted service with a smile. Its a 2 way thing!

2weeks... 2days... of life-time experiences

Been a long time since I updated my blog (*sigh). Well for once I don't have to sit infront of the computer to think of what my entry's gonna be. This entry is about what I noted down during my time in Taiwan. Some parts are fun & some are boring. But what intrigues me is that I had the motivation like I never had back home. It feels like home in Taiwan. With a language problem yes. Although I'm not that mandarin educated but some of the gestures I could somehow understand.
