#2.1 Ghost Whispered

"Before I could figure out what was actually happening, a powerful source of energy rushed into my body and I began to shiver and tremble like a leaf. "



It had been 2 months since I came back to Malaysia, being away from all my ass Adelaide friends (Don't blame me, Jamie called all of us that. ) and finally everything seemed to start making a little bit sense to me. Life was easy but dull. Just as I thought everything was getting better in time, the incident yesterday, or early this morning struck me like a lighting bolt, too sudden and too quick for me to escape and worse off, there was no where else to escape.

It was around 3a.m. in the morning, and I had just finished a quarter of my Biology report as I had been slacking the whole day. A few minutes later, I got tired and decided to call it a day. As usual, I went to brush my teeth and wash my face before getting into my bed. Before long, I drifted off to sleep. I dreamt that I was walking on a road and started to feel all dizzy and began to fall to the ground. Then as crazy as it sounded, everything was plunged into pitch darkness and I began to feel a strong force sucked me into the hole of darkness. Suddenly, I was instantly awake and I was 100% sure that I was not in the dream anymore. I tried to move and struggled to open my eyes but I couldn't. All I could do was lying still on the bed. Before I could figure out what was actually happening, a powerful source of energy rushed into my body and I began to shiver and tremble like a leaf. My whole body was shaking and I could feel something inside of me. I panicked and for a moment then I really thought that I was going to die. The energy inside of me was so strong and there was nothing else I could do.

I tried my best to open my eyes, and I just could make out the silhouette of the closets in my room. I knew that something was very, very wrong and instantly I knew I had to do something. Although I lost control of my body, my mind was clear. I knew I had to fight it off and I began to pray. As a buddhist, instinctively I began to say "Amitofo" but nothing had changed. Then, I kept on repeating the word "Jesus" in my mind for some time. I didn't even have the time to fear or think, I just kept saying them and finally when I shouted the word "Jesus Christ" in my mind, I began to feel it slowly slipping away and eventually it left my body. At that very moment, I could sit up and open my eyes. I looked around me and found out that nothing had changed and everything was still in its own place. Rahman and Zaid were still up using their laptops.

Without much thought, I walked out of my room into the study room and talked to Zaid, my roommate, about it. My eyes widened as I heard the words coming out from his mouth. " I've also experienced such thing before when I slept, I think there's something "dirty" here," he said. I called Mummy immediately and at first she thought someone crazy had phoned her right in the middle of the night until I told her what had happened. She asked me not to worry and that everything would turn out fine. As I was wide awake, I turned on my laptop again and chatted with Alvin for a while about the incident.

Seriously, I never thought that such thing could ever happen to me. I had shared a lot of ghost stories with my friends but they were just merely hearsay. I remembered sharing them with Jasmine, Alex and Eugenie in Bradford Lodge, with Mira, Ily and Wan in the Intec Library, and of course with all of my high school friends in Keat Hwa, but usually I just laughed it off and then nothing had ever happened. Ok, I had to admit that sometimes they scared the hell out of me.

Today morning, I received more calls from my family members asking me not to be scared and to be strong and calm. I knew that this incident would really haunt me for the rest of my life and I would never be able to forget it. However, I still wanted to thank God for saving me from whatever it was and also my family and friends for always being there for me whenever I needed them. Love you all lots.
