Shadow ghost

I went to have a drink (yamcha) with a group of friends in the dead of night (around 2 am) and on the way back to campus, one friend, D, told us of a supernatural thing that happened in his friend's hostel room.

The owner who stays in that single room took a random picture with his camera phone and found a humanoid shadow on the wall that wasn't supposed to be there. D and the other friend who were there in the room thought he edited that picture but there's no way the owner could have done that with the camera phone. I wasn't sure about the whole story but D mentioned that they used another camera to take the picture which got the silhoutte in it also.

Anyway we were curious and we went to that owner's room ( All of us live on the same floor) . The owner wasn't sleeping and he let us see the picture. It shows the back of D, who was using the owner's laptop and beside him, there was a silhouette on the wall. It is black in colour and does not look like normal shadow. And there was another video taken the next day which shows the silhouette moving, kinda like an inanimated object, actually. He tried taking more pictures of the room but he didn't get the silhouette.

Our university campus maybe haunted because there were many locals who were tortured and killed by the Japanese army during the war at the woods where the university was built.

There's a small possibility that both D and the owner were lying and put the silhoutte in the video and picture. But why go through all that trouble? D didn't seem comfortable talking about it either. He's just as creeped out as us. And the owner still sleeps in the room as long as that "thing" doesn't disturb him.

Wow, either way, that was the first time I saw an actual picture and video of a "ghost" on camera. Not those on media, but on real life! I searched the net prior to writing this post and I found that shadow ghost is a supernatural phenemenon that happens worldwide. Some people can see it from the corner of their eyes, and more captured them on film and camera, like the case of my friend. And that incident happened at the night of Halloween!

I don't think I'm gonna get and post the camera phone picture. It's up to the owner and the ghost pictures on the web are already disturbing enough.

Seeing A Rainbow

On my way home back to campus last Sunday, I saw a rainbow on the sky from the moving train. Interesting, I thought, as I had just posted the rainbow poem two days before. What could that mean? Am I gonna "Oh gasp!" get lucky somehow this week? Hmm... nah. It means nothing. I was sceptical, and I was right, kinda.

I believe I have a twisted mind nowadays, or at least a twisted sense on love. I'm having a weird crush on this straight guy in university and I didn't feel anything wrong or sad about it. I say weird because I enjoy being with him, I enjoy talking to him, the feeling of just seeing him, being with him puts me on cloud nine. But I can't say whether it's really a crush, love, or anything. Sometimes he felt more like a little brother I never had. Haha. It's different from the first crush I had on a straight guy in secondary school. This university guy is more approachable and we got to be more "friendly" with each other. I mean, good friends, with things to talk about.

The thing is, I don't expect him to like me, I don't expect him to be gay. I don't need to. And this is good I think. Perhaps this is the Ego in me talking. It would hurt more if he's gay and he wouldn't like me due to my unflattering appearance and personality. And then he would get a boyfriend because he is hot anyway and I'm just gonna be lonely and depressed.

Suffice to say, my state of mind nowadays is not in a state of the pretty rainbow, but this:

My boring Life

Everything's the same for me these days, lectures and mundane school university coursework which I'm procrastinating. Everything except the entertainment I enjoyed.

I was addicted to Rise of Legends since I installed it last Sunday. Been playing it non-stop until the third and final campaign when my old laptop starts having troubles rendering the graphics and sounds smoothly without being stuck for 1 minute intermittently (I swear the laptop was about to burst out of exasperation if I keep running that intensive game)


Model for the latest oldest GUESS watch

Now as I'm blogging in the middle of night (almost 3 am in the morning) I just wanna shout "Deperate Housewives rocks!!!" I had a wonderful time watching the 7th episode titled Bang. Never have I watched such a thrilling, shocking and yet, at the same time, hilarious drama that entertained me so much that I completely forgot all the stress from my piling courseworks and upcoming exam. Ah, I can safely says it's one of the best episode I've watched so far, and it's worth the trouble to download the season 3 episodes even though I can only do that in the weekends when I'm at home, with a private internet connection that doesn't ban bt.

Anyway, towards the end of the show that I was so engrossed on, suddenly there was a scene, or rather, a dialogue, that hits right into my heart.

Lynette:...What's the matter with you?

Carolyn: Have you not been paying attention? My husband cheated on me!

Lynette: Who cares. Who cares!!! We all have pain, everyone in here has pain but we deal with it, we swallow it, and get going with our life, but what we don't do is go around shooting strangers!


Hmm... yeah, that's what I do, I deal with my pain, I swallow it, and get going with my life. But sometimes I think too much and only end up with self-inflicted mental anguish. Nevertheless, I'm dealing with it and I hope I'm not gonna go crazy. Of course, I think I should be alright as long as I'm aware that I might go crazy (Read an article about someone being told by a psychiatrist that he's not going crazy as long as he thinks he's going crazy, or sth like that). Speaking of guns, why is it that americans can still have guns in their home given that so many tragedies happened because of that? Now I'm wondering whether Annie has a gun in her drawer. Ok... I'm thinking too much.

Anyway, I guess this pretty much sums up my boring life, with not-so-boring little stuffs like games and shows to occupy my time.

Yawn~ Goodnight.

Rainbow In the Sky

Searching
for a rainbow in the bright blue sky
with wings to fly
so high

But Why
comes torrential rains
that knows no pain
like a deluge of acid
splashing shards and flying fragments
swirling and blowing to a violent cyclone
devouring everything

No
It's there but I can't reach
the colours of the wind
distorted, disfigured

Tears
flooding sea
Blood
freezing glacier
amid the calamity
I'm not sure
It's still
All that's left is no more
All that's desiderated
All that's gone
With the rainbow in the sky

Urban Myth #3

Overstressed high school male students

Strip a guy a day

Pictures!!!

"The mountain looks kinda low", I thought. How wrong was I.




Oooo, waterfall.




Some guys frolicking in the water, too bad I can't join them.




But I can shoot them.




Another waterfall. yawn




And lots of trees.




With creepy crawly roots




Yay, Annie, I can shoot blurred trees too.




Rapid stream after a heavy rain in the evening. So warcraft-like.





Gasp! Snake!




I reached the peak only to see this tablet thingy.

Torturous Hiking

When the dawn began to break in the salubrious Saturday morning, I hopped onto the bus to take part in a mountain hiking trip. We hit the road up the path as we passed by several cascading waterfalls with the deluge of water collapsing on the massive boulders, sending dribbles of water to fly assunder. There were people swimming in the icy cold water but we marched on as we ventured deeper into the forest. The sunlight was penetrating through the canopy of gigantic trees that stood rooted to the ground. I took a deep breath inhaling the fresh air, as the thunderous roar of the waterfalls and rapid stream can still be heard in the distance.

Then there were more trees...

more water...

And the path became steeper and more perilous...

I panted breathlessly.

I stretched my right leg up and "piak!"my short pants tore. Had to climb with my legs closed as I wasn't wearing an underwear before I finally decided to seize a chance to stop and wear the long pants I bought surreptitiously.

It was after 5 hours of rigorous climbing that we managed to reach the campsite. And the journey is just halfway done. We took a rest and had our simple dinner before we continued the treacherous trip at 1 am the next day to reach the summit and see the sunrise.

This took us another 6 hours to reach the top, and I cried a tear of joy but as fate would have it, the sun was obstructed by the haze and I found the peak of the mountain plain and ugly. We could see nothing but haze from the top, although the cold ambience was refreshing.

At that time, I was terribly exhausted. My legs were sore, my toenails were painful, and I was drenched in sweat and dirt, but I had no choice but to descend from the mountain with the group after only one or two hours of resting.

I didn't know how did I muster the strength to climb down the mountain. It was easier to climb down but it was also damaging to the legs expecially the kneecaps as we had to pratically jump down step by step. The cold and blustery morning came to life with bees and ants coming out but I felt as if I paid for the trip to be tortured in HELL.

We had hiked for around 20 hours in total within two days and all this while I had to carry my heavy bag and some other stuff like the tent and rubbish along the journey.

As we descended the mountain we saw a troop of (cute and hunky) soldiers climbing up the mountain and the ranger said they had to reach the summit within 2 hours from the camp site as they carry a gun and rocks in their bag. I have another friend who was in the scouts and he climbed another mountain with was so much higher than mine for 3 days.So from another perspective, the suffering I endured was not as great as them, but I survived this ordeal with a sorethroat and a fever and limping legs. Every step I took I was in my mind moaning "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch..!".

It's wednesday now and I got a bit better but I am still sick and uncomfortable. I wanted to get a new experience by joining this hiking trip but apparently I wasn't fit enought for this and it was so much more physically demanding than the national service that I attended.
