Ghost Story (Old Tekong Sch)

It takes a second to notice a person, an 1hr to fall in love with the person, and one life time to forget this person. This sentence is definitely nothing new to everyone here. But i disagree with it. To me, it probably takes many many life's time to forget this person, esp when your karmic link with her/him is very strong.

爱是彩色糖衣包装却没营养的药药!药药! Perhaps the song writer of Zhang Shaohan also feels that Getting in Love is just like Licking Honey Off the Knife. Haha.

Nowadays, I am more open to share my blogs with my friends, especially after i told myself to avoid and reduce writing abt my reflections on buddhism. SOmetimes, i cant stand my own 'self righteousness'. Many a times, I find my own reflections very fake and not sincere. My blog entries for the moment will be focussing more on superficial ramblings, or reporting on incident(s) that was/were most impactful to my life for the day.

The most impactful incident for today wud be the sharing of a ghost website by Jimbean. I read a story on an old abandoned malay primary school in tekong, which is used to house visiting soldiers who come to the island for ATPs (rifle-shootings). Personally i have stayed in this old malay sch myself before. We wud leave the sch early in the morning at 5am to head for our shootings, and wud only return back late after midnight when our range ceased. Hence, my memory for this place is always in complete darkness - there is no electricity supply.

I remembered there was only 1 miserable toilet on a small hill top. To save time, i went to the back of the toilet which is facing a large patch of field, and use the taps there for bathing. As i was bathing, i saw a greenish object in the middle of the field. Initially, i thot its a dustbin. But upon 2nd thought, i wonder why on earth wud the govt wanna place a dustbin in the middle of the field of an old abandoned malay sch in tekong. I took a 2nd look and realise it looked more like a piece of cloth/rag hanging in the air. Perhaps its the laundry by some residence nearby. But wait... there was no one living there! Its an old abandoned malay sch! Freak.. in no time i felt a sense of icy spasms gushing down my spine. I knew at once what i saw. I quickly clad in my underwear, rushed down the hill and went back to my allocated classroom to sleep. I didnt think much.

The next day, one of my indian subordinate who has the 3rd eye told me wat he saw in the old tekong sch. He said there was this very old and ugly looking being, with big gorging eyes, long sharp teeth with body like a piece of rotten rag, lurking around. I knew its wat i saw - and also wat many other soldiers have seen as reported in the website.

The next evening, I went to sleep with my men in another classroom, as a snake was caught crawling over our body in our classroom the previous night. Nothing spooky on the 2nd night, but there were lots of soldiers complaining to me the next morning. Abt 50% of them could hear Qurans and children singing malay songs in the wee hrs, and also another 50% felt their nose being pinched during their sleep. But i was in neither of the 50%.

Years later, I was walking to fongseng with my extA neighbour when we chat abt this old malay school at tekong. He told me tat during one of his night's stay , he was walking with his buddy to the toilet on the hill top when he walked past this classroom (which was supposedly allocated to me yrs back then). He saw a man hanging on a rope by the ceiling, swinging gently around. He didnt react violently but quicly walked away. He later verified with his buddy who also saw the hanging man.

Haha, I wonder if i wud get to stay at this Old Tekong Sch in the future for my reservist. I really hope not. But its indeed a very interesting experience for me. Ah. .i think i am a big fan of ghost stories and movies. In fact, most of the movies i watched are horror ones eg. Juon1, Juon2, Ring1, Ring2, The Maid etc.
