G..g..gh...ghost!

So it was a normal Sunday afternoon yesterday. I went grocery shopping with York and Janet at Market Square, afterwhich we proceeded to the noodle shop to eat at Pinelands. The hotpot there is pretty good, except they only have sesame sauce for dipping, and not our normal satay sauce that we usually have elsewhere. Yuck.

Apparently it's because that's how people eat hotpot in some parts of China, and that was where the owner was from, following only the traditional way of serving their kinda hotpot. If you do go there to eat, order the plain soup instead of the hot and spicy one, because surprisingly, the soup is really sweet and yummy compared to the hot and spicy one. Oh, and the spicy lamb satays tasted really good as well!

Anyways, by the time we finished up and was heading back home, night fell. So Janet was the one driving today, and I was going through my bag looking for my garage control. When I looked up as Janet was turning at a corner, I saw this image of a really small woman standing in front of me.

As we got closer, I immediately saw that she was this petite, frail looking, very very old lady with bleach white hair standing in the garden infront of me next to a small tree. When I could see her face (I need to get closer since I'm not wearing contacts), I saw that she was actually grinning and looking straight at me!

Now imagine me looking for my garage control in my bag and then looking up to see her, all this happening within two or three seconds span. Man, I got the shock of my life! You know how when the person driving is turning right, the front passenger would be closest to the edge of the road? Yes, I was the closest to her, she was freaking in my face man!

That was it, I started screaming...

"Oh my fucking gawd, did you see that freaking ghost, what the fuck man, aaarghhhh!!!"

All of us turned back to have a look only to catch a glimpse of the hose she was holding on her other hand, and I realised that it was just my neighbour a few doors down who was watering her plants in the dark and trying to be friendly, hence the smile on her face. Are you kidding me?

-_-"

Man, you should've seen York and Janet laughing the shit outta me. Hahahaha, hey man, that freaking old lady just suddenly appeared in front of me after I looked up from my bag, of course I was surprised to see her! 0_o

Come on you old ladies out there, please don't ever grin like that again at your age, it is scary okay. Especially in the dark while watering your damn garden. It is not a very pretty sight. -_-" My heart was still beating really quickly when I got home. Yes yes, I admit, she did managed to scare the hell outta me!

Scores for today:

Old lady : Devilishaz

You won woman -_-"

Glowworms Cave

Hey, look who's here.. I'm back! I know I haven't been blogging in ages but I tell you, all that time away ain't no vacation! I've just finished another semester approximately three weeks ago and now what? Uni begins on Tuesday, already. Argh! No i shall not whinge.. *shuts up* Before I forget,

Happy New Year Peeps!

Lets hope that our new year will be a successful and fun-filled one. Hope you guys can stick with your new years resolution! I'm gonna have to try sticking to mine, which would be to study harder and get over and done with my last year of uni.. that is if I don’t fail though. >.< I will not bludge, no no, I mean I will try not to bludge no more!

I spent Christmas at the Gold Coast with my boi and a couple of friends. It was a three nights and four days stay, low key but relaxing tee hee. We kinda spent every night drinking in the hotel, then going to the beach, Dream World and walking around surfer's paradise in the day.

Oooh, let me tell you my experience to the glowworms cave..

One night, while all of us were drinking, one of my friends decided that we should go pay a visit to the glowworms cave. We were all tipsy and tired by then, but the idea was rather tempting, so we left quickly before one of us could have a chance to change our mind. The trip there took about an hour. Throughout the whole hour's ride, we all took turns telling ghost stories.

One of my friends mentioned that we shouldn't look out of the window while driving to the cave as it has been told that people who did saw things they didn’t want to see. Another one talked about how there was this tourist who slipped and fell, hitting his head on one of the rocks in the pond in the glowworm cave. As there weren’t any other visitors, he died there due to excess loss of blood. This never got to the news as they did not want to scare people away from the cave, thus it has now been said that the dead tourist now haunts the place and tugs at people's ankles to pull them into the pond if they stood at a same spot for too long to take his place.

I shivered listening to all the stories that were being told. I know there was a possibility that some of them were trying to bullshit me but I couldn’t help being such a scaredy cat.. hey not my fault, I was tipsy therefore feeling vulnerable. Once we reached the place, the guys whipped out their torches and we proceeded on our way to the cave.

There was this twenty minutes walk we had to go through in order to reach the cave. The sky was pitch dark, and the pathway to the caves was extremely narrow.. the place was like a forest! We huddled together walking cautiously down steep slopes. The eerie sounds of the crickets and birds weren’t much help in calming my nerves. I jolted every time I heard a rustle, squeezing my boyfriend’s hand tightly as we walked.

One of my friends was being really sweet to me, warning me not to look back as I walked for fear that I might see some very “nice” looking spirits around. We finally reached the cave, but we were all so disappointed to see how small the cave was! The glow worms looked really beautiful, but I couldn’t stop bugging my boyfriend to piggyback or carry me so that no one can grab me by my ankles :P

I was contemplating whether I should take pictures since it was such a long journey down to the caves, but one of my friends decided for me knowing how much I liked taking pictures. “Eh, are you sure you’re gonna take pictures? You don’t want to see an extra person there in your screen instead of just the glow worms!” Instantaneously, my hand automatically threw the camera into my bag and I grabbed onto my boyfriend dying to leave as soon as possible. After they decided that they’ve had enough of ogling at the glowworms and trying to touch the glowworms to feel how they were physically like, we finally left and went on our way back home to the hotel.

Boy was I so glad to see light after our ride back to the city. Why cant they have street lights on the way to the cave?! I was happy that I’ve been to the glowworm caves but I’m positive I’d never want to go back there again!
