Ghostly Encounters.

A few days back, I volunteered to be made up as a ghost to be part of a ‘prop’ in an NUS camp for sec 1 and 2 kids of which Peah’s brother was part of the organizing committee. Looking at my hilarious get up in the mirror, a mishmash of a Chinese ghost’s makeup donning a Malay baju kurung, I couldn’t help thinking that the kids will end up ‘ignoring’ me.

That, in the sense that they’ll laugh me off and move on with their night trail. Boy, was I wrong! hahaha. The night turned out to be enjoyable, even though I at first thought it would be rather horrible. Hehe, I think I have a knack for worrying that things won’t turn out alright.

The kids I ‘haunted’, however, were kinda scared shitless. Hahaha. Syafiq and the NUS facilitator mentioned that my acting was top notched (thanks movies!), what with my appearing from behind the trees, dragging my feet and whispering in a hoarse voice that I wanted a girl from the group.

The first group that I ‘haunted’, it seemed that every one of them either looked at the floor or away when I approached them. When I grabbed one girl, she actually pulled ME with her, not wanting to let go of her buddy’s shoulders upfront hahaha. And when I gave up and finally asked a person to volunteer, I swear it took around 5 minutes for 2 guys to come up. Erk.

The guy who was partnered with me, an 18 year old VJC kid named Syafiq, turned out to be really friendly, chatting with me non stop whilst we were battling ant bites, crouching in the dark crevices of West Coast Park. Haha, not once did I feel ’scared’ okay. SO proud of myself wakakka.

I ended up reaching home at around 2am, hours away from having to grab my ferry to Batam (entry and pictures this weekend!) .

Oh, and how can I forget these two buggers who waited for yours truly to have dinner with her and later on sent her to West Coast Park? Hahaha. Thanks guys for asking me along and having to wait for me as it was rather last minute and I was still sound asleep at the time your invitation came :)

Haikal and I, we still sometimes have those awkward pauses in conversations, but I guess it’s improving. Haha… The three of us are planning a cycling trip from East to West sometime within this month, and I can only pray I don’t die of dehydration, or worse, when my legs fall apart hahaha.

As you guys know, Wednesday was the first day at work for me. Working at a major call centre before, I was really kind of dreading the day. All the customers screaming, the non stop ringing of the phone, the stress in my head having to solve their 1001 problems.

However, again, I had overreacted. Turned out, I was only serving as the IT Helpdesk for CPF Employer Submissions. Throughout the first day, apart from listening in to the live phone conversations, I actually had time for a nap, bloghopping, chatting with my new colleagues and just randomly tinkering with all the new software.

SO much difference from the situation at UOB Call centre! I like! Hahaha. My buddy, however, said that not everyday will be like that. So… I’m hoping and praying MOST days are such! Haha. That way, I can lug my texts to work and study! Woohoo :)

And guess who dropped by for lunch?

That’s right, it’s Faris! Haha. Apparently he said he still owed me a breakfast treat, so I kiddingly mentioned that since it’s his last day of freedom before being transported back into NS, he should come down and spend time with me at Tanjong Pagar during my lunch hour.

To my utmost surprise, he really did came down and was on time! Haha, truth be told, I cannot imagine him doing that when he was ‘together’ with me. But anyway, the point is that, during that hour, we managed to fill it to the brim with conversations and laughter, so much so that both of us didn’t really eat much.

I guess, I have started treating him as a friend. I know, cuz I don’t feel sad or experience any negative feelings like I had before :) It’s good to have him back in my life without any of the baggages and heartaches. As much as I wanted to severe ties with him, I guess the friendship and closeness we shared is just too precious to be thrown away.

As for now, my heart goes dubdubdub for a certain other whom I’m just getting to know. I have a small teeny weeny feeling he knows, but he certainly ain’t doing anything about it, so I guess no hopes for me there hahaha. Oh well. At least I can still melt upon his smile.

*Giggles* It’s been quite a while since I’ve last felt this way wakakakka. Feels like I recovered a lost treasure :P

And to add one more to the list of happy things, Evilbunny had posted an entry which I contributed! Check it out!
