My Story: It's about some incidents years ago, from a fren of mine, let's call him, H. The stories went like this;
While he was waiting for the feeder bus somewhere in Jurong, H was alone. You know waiting for a single bus down there takes lots of patience and plenty of guts, even in the early evening. Half hour or so passed still no bus, and suddenly, a loud monstrous shriek greeted H.
Half shaken but still managed to calm down, he wondered who or what could that be, prankster.. may be?!! H endured. No later than few minutes and its the last straw,.....one big, a really big healthy tree branch dropped next to the bus stop missing him by two metres.
"What the *@%!! is happening here", he thought, dashing away for his life. No strong wind, lightning or whatever and that's no coincidence with the shriek H heard earlier.
Another incident took place at a country club in Pasir Panjang. Frustrated at being left out cold by the company transport, H couldn't imagine having to walk out to the main road to the bus stop.
The eerieness of the road path was enough to make you shiver, whatsmore walking alone out there. Surrounded by big trees, bushes and dimly lighted, its just perfect for the unknown, but H got no choice.
With mouth muttering the holy verses and the legs a bit trembling, H managed to walk half way without any incident. THEN just as he passed a big tree, H felt a sharp pain on his head as if something just knocked him. A bit dazed, he scanned around but nothing!! So just like everbody else,....he dashed,..sprint,...run or.. whatever adjectives u can think of... for safety.
The funny side was, on reaching the bus stop, H just flag down any bus that comes first on sight, even it doesn't takes him home..who cares !!
