For a change, I'll post something about my daily activity. If you've noticed, I've never really posted anything about my daily life, cuz I think no one needs to know what you've been doing. Anyway...this has some interesting stuff, so read on.
Yesterday I had a sec school class gathering at east coast beach, so me and my group of friends decided to cycle around east coast through the night after the barbecue. So we went around here and there, and about 2-3 am the 6 of us cycled towards Bedok Jetty. Then we noticed a floating light up in the sky. It was way too big to be a star, and it was way too high to have come from a building. And it wasn't a plane either; planes move. This was stationary. Anyway, it was there for a while, disappeared a while, appeared again. then disappeared for good.
So we kept quiet about it and continued our journey, passing a pond. There, 2 of my friends had a slight accident(bikes had a small collision). When we started again, we heard a really loud screech coming from the pond. Yes, from the center of the pond. It was a short screech, followed by a really long one.
"Sorry bird, nothing to feed you..." said one of my friends. So I thought nothing of it, continued and reached the jetty at about 4am.
"Anything we have to say, leave it for daybreak," said another friend.
And so we sat there, reminiscing about our secondary school days. Which were the best days of my life, really. Giving names to teachers, making a nuisance of ourselves, doing stupid things...those really were the days.
And so, it was daybreak. We then talked about the things that happened.
The malays believed in something called the "tuju tuju". According to them, it is something bomohs(medicine men) send after victims. It is usually an egg shaped, glowing object. It will smash itself into the victim, and the victim will be possessed by the demon egg. It will hover around, then give chase after the victim. Although, my friends said, the light probably wasn't a tuju tuju; it was too far away.
The source of the screech, we unanimously decided, was definitely no bird. It came from the center of the pond. And no bird would be in the center of the pond at 3 am in the morning. Much less make a screech like that. Now that I think about it, it was almost like...a laugh. Anyway, my malay friend said, they believed that if a ghostly noise was very loud, it was usually far away. If it was really soft, however, it was close. Real close. So close, in fact, my friend said it could be right above your head.
After we cleared some of the things we saw up, we went for a toilet break. My legs hurt like hell from all the cycling, and so I was quite far behind the rest. It was then that I thought I saw something among the trees, follwing me as I cycled along. And there was some noise like beside my ear. A soft noise. If you remember, soft noise=real close. I cycled like hell despite my aching legs after my friends.
And so it was finally bright, we walked to some hawker centre for food with my legs hurting like crazy, ate, and we went home.
