“It’s Just Another Day” (Happy Birthday to Me)

“It’s just another day”. These were the words I said when I received a phone call at exactly 12am wishing me ‘Happy Birthday’! I actually got sort of scolded for saying that and I was actually persuaded to treat myself nicely, in which I later gave in and agreed.

 

I like being in low profile because I am quite sure I could not do that in future. This means that I always try my best not to reveal my birthday and only reveal it after that day has past. This is why I only blog about this when it is over. Even in Skype, I purposely put the wrong information on my birth date but this accidentally led to one of my best friend, Han, wishing me at the wrong date last year. Sorry, man!

 

At 6:54am, Jovita, my junior ex-schoolmate (who is still available and single :p), sent me a sarcastic teasing (should say Jovita-flavoured) birthday wish. But I was snoring happily at that time to reply her. Thanks, girl!

 

When I reached the office, birthday wishes started coming in from text messages or msn from Cath, Han, Eugene (my best buddy from university) and my Dad. Thanks, everyone! None of the colleagues in my department knew about my birthday which was a good thing (remember my low profile preference); but I did silently shake hand with one of my colleague, LK because our birthday fell on the same date.

 

At around 11.04am, semi-panic Cath sent me a message through my office messenger. She just realized that I was in the lab and might not be going to my cubicle today.

 

I went to my cubicle and saw a small packet on my messy desk (my desk was like a war zone). 

It was Famous Amos Cookies! 

No wonder Cath feared that someone would be stealing it. Yum, yum! Time to get fat again! This was my only birthday gift for this year. Thanks a lot, Cath! *Hugsssssss* I was touched to find out that Cath purposely went to work early to place the cookies at my cubicle, especially when she slept late the previous night. *Hugsss again* (‘Pok Mong’ :p)

 

At 2.16pm, Cannas (Lee, Yong Ting) sort of sang me a birthday song but in typed words. Cannas is a professional singer, so I could imagine how nicely she sounded. Somehow, her ‘birthday’ changed to ‘birdday’ then to ‘burfday’ seemed creatively intentional. Gee, I would love to have a ‘bird’-day! :p

 

As promised, I decided to treat myself good, so I left office early at 5.30pm (usually I go off work at 9.00pm) and went straight to buy myself dinner and cake. The problem with me is that when it comes to decision making on certain thing, I either choose to do nothing at all, or do it best. That is why I usually end up overdoing things. As for today, I ended up over-treating myself!

 

I bought myself 2 Japanese meals – Unagi Rice set 

and Salmon Rice set. 

3 pieces of Secret Recipe cake – Oreo, Chocolate and Marble Cheese Cake! 

I even lit up a candle on one of the cakes to blow it, just to have the fun of it. 

I guess I had wasted all my gym sessions …I felt guilty later.

 

My last birthday greeting was by one of my best friends, Daniel at 7.07pm. Thanks, bro!

 

To try out whether birthday wishes are effective, I actually wish that it would rain that night but it seemed that there was not a single drop of rain. I guess birthday wish is just a myth!

 

I’m now 28, and getting older each day. Don’t feel that it is a sad thing for me… yet. But I would like to thank my Mum for carrying me around for 9 months 28 years ago, and manage to successfully bear all the labor pain by pushing me out. Special thank to the doctor that received me and spanked me hard so that I could take my first breath of air in this world.

 

Lastly, thank you for the wishes! For those who forgot, no worry, I am not a girl I am not very particular on this thing (by the way, someone’s birthday is next week, remember that) because for me it’s just another day.

Parent Teacher Association Presidency That Need Hurting?

Today, I read a news article by The Star Online regarding people going to the length of splashing a woman’s face with what is suspected to be chilli powder and chilli sauce to prevent her from running for president for her daughter’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA)! 

 

I don’t know what this world has become? Isn’t PTA presidency a small thing? As small as the thing in this advertisement?

Are they getting paid being the president? Or everyone is being heavily influenced by the political drama happening in Malaysia? Or are we watching too many of Taiwan parliament?

What do you think? Or am I the only one finding this news amusing?

Earthquake at My Rented Apartment? Paranormal Activities?

I really don’t know what happen. No, my female housemate didn’t bring home a super fat guy to have some wild ‘fun’ in the afternoon; no, the fat guy did not know how to dance…. I hope; 

and no, there was no earthquake around my rented apartment, because we have checked with the neighbours, everything was as usual except this unit.

However, all the tiles seemed to pop out from the floor. It was as if something or someone exerted a big force from one side of the room, cracking the tiles and bursting them.

 

It was as if some paranormal activities were going on in this place. Maybe aliens were partying here in the afternoon?

 

Anyway, the owner had inspected the damage and decided to change all the tiles in the unit. I had no choice but to find a place to stay. I would be homeless soon! Anyone has any recommendation on a place where I could temporarily put up with? L

 

Any idea what would have happened to the tiles? Any idea what would happen to me soon?

I Saw Dead People?!!!

I think that foongpc would be interested in this entry (Supernatural stuff excites him!), so let me dedicate this to him as well as to my grandparents! Sorry for no photos or pictures!

 

I faintly remembered spending time with my grandfather when I was young. I am quite sure about that. I knew that I was pretty young, at the age of 3 or 4. And I could already walk or maybe mummer a few words. I remember asking for my grandfather and I remember my older cousin cheating me to keep all my messy toys because my grandfather was coming.

 

I was quite sure about that until one day when I went to pray at my grandfather tomb, it was written that my grandfather died 4 months after my birth! That means that it was impossible that I could even play with him! To make it worse, I was born in a city called Miri, whereas my grandparents were living with my uncle’s in Kuching. My parents only moved back to Kuching when I was around 3 years old; and we were so poor that we need to live together with my uncle. So, who I was spending my time with that time? He looked like the person in the photo labeled as my grandfather and I really could remember he was wearing a white singlet. It must be him!

 

On a separate case, about 10 years ago, when my grandmother passed away, we organized the praying ceremony at the place she stayed which was my uncle’s house. My grandmother’s body was placed inside an open casket to let everyone have a last look. As you know, children not knowing what was death were playing around the house, screaming and laughing. There was a person (I could not remember who) went to the children trying to explain or teaching them what was death. That person asked “Do you know where is your grandmother now?”  One of the children pointed at an empty bed inside the room where my grandmother used to stay and said that she was sleeping over there. No one dared to challenge that kid’s words but I was glad that grandmother’s spirit was still around us at that time.

There was a belief that children were able to see spirits or ghosts and this led to a study or research being conducted. It was quite an interesting piece of research or study! I believe that children has this ability because of my experience, do you?

 

 

My Cologne and Advice (Don’t buy Fake Ones)

Update 12:13am 22/2/09: Thanks to Su for bringing up this. It seems that ‘Perfume’ and ‘Cologne’ are mistakenly characterized as for woman and man. If you browse around the website, this mistake is widely published. So, in order to be correct, let’s refer it as fragrance. Still I don’t suggest you go to shop asking for ‘Men perfume’ or ‘Woman cologne’. This article explains the difference.

I always thought that fragrances are for those who:

1. Never bath for days;

2. Have very bad body odor (some people smell like corpse); and

3. Attract the opposite sex.

 

Until I got my first cologne 4-5 years back as a gift from a girl, that I changed my perception. Actually, at first I thought that the gift was a hidden message that I smell really bad; but sooner or later, I found out that the real reason was that her parent bought guy cologne instead of female perfume for her! This was the very first cologne I had and it was from Bvlgari.

For those who know, female fragrance is called ‘perfume’ whereas male fragrance is called ‘cologne’. So if you are a guy wearing perfume, you have problem! And for Italian fragrance, ‘Pour Homme’ means ‘For Him’ and ‘Pour Femme’ means ‘For Her’. Again, if you are a girl wearing a fragrance with ‘Pour Homme’ written, don’t complain that girls are attracted to you.

 

Since then, I was addicted to cologne and I have been buying the same brand everytime I went travelling. So for now, I’m using these 3 at the same time but for different occasions or days.

Anyway, similar to woman wearing makeup (not those heavy ones), I think fragrance is also a formality or respect to the people you meet. Because wherever you go, you might carry the smell from the environment with you. For example, if you have been to the cafeteria or burger stall, you might smell like food for a while; or if you have been to the toilet, there is the possibility that you smell like….emm.. you know what. It would be a bonus if it could attract girls but for now… nah… none! Not like this advertisement:

 

 

By the way, here is a fragrance that I don’t think anyone would use…. Would you?

 

Here is an advice from me, not to buy fragrance from the street because it might be fake. It is hard to prove that it’s the real thing and this might happen to you:

 

1. The so-called perfume might re-colors your clothing or wherever you have sprayed it.
2. From the scent of “Eau de toilett”, you would smell like “I’m in toilet” after half an hour.
3. You as well as everyone around you either get sick or died but still smelling nice (It’s poisonous!)
4. If you are lucky, you would see minor rashes from your skin, similar to mosquito bite; if you are not, the rashes would make you looks like dying from AIDS.
5. For unknown reason, instead of girls or guys following you, ants start to crawl over your body, cats start to follow you around, or even worse dogs start humping on your legs.

 

This is a checklist to spot fake fragrance. [click here]

5 More Interesting Things To Do when Stuck in Traffic Jam

I really hate traffic jam! If you read my previous entry, I really salute those who stuck in peak hour traffic jam everyday! My colleague, SK said that she fell asleep during the Penang Bridge jam yesterday, therefore she requested me to blog about what to do when your car is not moving.

 

From what I know, different people love to do different things in these conditions: some would blast the music loud and sing in the car, some would read the newspaper, some would try calling someone for a chat, and some would start messaging their friend through sms service. Guess what Cath usually do in a traffic jam? Watch drama on her laptop. So if you see her scolding or crying or laughing, she is not crazy (yet), most probably it is because of the drama she is watching! But if she is with her makeup kit and no laptop, probably she is going for a date J.

 

Ordinary ‘to do’ things have been blogged by others. Let me try to give a more creative suggestion on what you could do in a traffic jam:

 

1. Play around your reverse light

Try making the driver behind you more tension by turning on and off the reverse light. He might think that something has gone wrong with your car and for sure he will be paying attention at the reverse light for a while. But remember not to accidentally reverse your car into the car behind when the traffic clears up.

 

2. Step out of the car

Since the car is not moving, why not you step out of the car, and knock at the window of the driver beside you and have a chat with him. You could also go around checking your tires pressure, or just sit on the car enjoy your morning coffee! Remember not to lock yourself outside of your car!

 

Oh ya, you can try dancing on top of your car too!

3. ‘Helping’ Enemy Make Friends

If you dislike a particular someone, why not you put his or her numbers on a piece of paper and show it to the wrong type of the gender he or she attracted too. Ask them to call him or her at odd hours!

 

Hey! Maybe, this is why that guy kept calling me!

 

4. Song Dedication!

If there is a common radio station at your place. You could dedicate a song to the driver in front, leaving strange message like “WPA3312 driver, please do not dig your nose, it is disgusting!”.

 

 

5. Spread Rumours

Wind down your window, put your phone on your left and shouted loudyly “ What? Aliens is invading Malaysia?” Okay, this is just an example. Maybe you could try with someone famous or some famous place?

 

Okay, these are my ideas. Sorry for not making it more interesting because I don’t know why, I seem like not in the mood to do so. Dreckker might be calling me up for complain again.

 

By the way, there was a crane driver trying to transform his vehicle today but somehow the transformation got stuck and create massive traffic jam on the Penang Bridge this morning!

Wrong Toilet Incident?

The toilets at my company were strangely located: Level 2 female and male toilet locations were swapped at level 3. So, one day because of urge, i ran into the toilet without looking at the sign and assuming that it was a male toilet.

 

I opened the door straight, ran in and shocked to see a girl standing at the urinal area. Without hesitation, I turned my back said sorry and went out of the place. It was until I stepped out of the door that I realized something was not right.

 

For female readers viewing this entry, this is how male toilet looks like. Yeah, we pee at a wall like area because we could aim and shoot!  

 

Okay, back to the story. I was stunned for a while until my brain told me that girls don’t stand and pee!  Damn it, I was in the right place just now! And that girl was actually a guy who looked like a girl! By then, i didn't feel like peeing anymore.

 

It’s undeniable that some guys look like a girl. Some are even prettier than most girls. No, they did not go for any ‘cutting’ operation or surgery; they just born like that (Yeah, go blame his parents). Look at the photos below; see if you could tell which gender they belong to?

Okay, I was kidding on the last photo. 

Dreckker - One of my Best Friends

Update 16/2/09 2:30am: People don't believe what i said about the sign language so i added in a video.

On Friday, Dreckker gave me a call after viewing my Limpets entry. He said “WTF with your entry? ‘Potong Stim’ (anti-climax) only.” I could imagine him showing me an Italian sign. What sign? This one!

Who taught us this? This guy! Enjoy the video:

I explained that I had nothing else interesting to write, therefore wrote what I saw. Anyway, now I know what else to write to interest my best friend – himself! I bet he will be calling me again when he saw this entry. Whether he will force me to remove it? I don’t know, but I won’t. J

 

I knew Dreckker since Primary One. On one writing assignment, we actually competed against each other. It ended up I lost. I never taste losing before then, so i could not accept defeat and I did what I knew best at that time – cry! It was my Chinese horoscope (Rooster) that I love winning（个性好胜）. Till now I will go through any length to achieve success in what I aim for. In my job, I once went to my boss to seek understanding on my disappointing salary review; no satisfied with his answer, I went to see his boss instead. For relationship, I once need the girl to remind me to stop caring her too much and move on after being rejected. For my life, I am an aggressive person on the road, if I am not aggressive enough (when I first came to Penang), I learned to adapt. So, back to my crying, Dreckker comforted me and borrowed his pencil to me, saying it would speed up my writing (kid’s theory). J

 

By then, Dreckker was only my friend, maybe my first friend in primary school. We were not close till we graduated primary school where he managed to skip a level senior than me because he scored pretty well in the public exam (UPSR). We became closer, and we used to play badminton together because we both suck at it. As time past by, homework and school life seemed to catch up with my schedule and we didn’t keep in contact for a while. Dreckker became better in badminton so I never look for him in badminton anymore (remember, I don’t like losing J).

 

So, after graduating Form 5 and after getting our driving license, we re-established contact and were close again. We hang out together when we had free time – gambling, racing our cars, computer games, game console (Dreckker’s), and even gossiping (we were like girls).

 

Three years back, Dreckker invited me to join a direct sales company; without hesitating and with my trust onto him, I joined. We even pulled Lion in. So the arrangement was that I was under Dreckker whereas Lion was under me. We were quite active in that and there was clearly a close bond between us. (By the way, the direct sales product helped me slim down 9kg in 7 days!). Dreckker (from Kuching) and Lion (from KL) often traveled to Penang for the training. Soon, we became inactive because the company was badly run by a couple of new managements; but it was quite an experience with 3 of us working together and on the same bed too!

 

Now, I don’t go back Kuching often, an average of 2 trips per year usually. But we still maintain contact with each other and usually we talked over the phone for more than an hour, and usually during midnight.

 

By the way, before I forget, Dreckker is so rich that he would have something new every month – from car, gadgets, audio system to shoes! Somehow, he is still single and available. Either something wrong with him, or he has yet to find the right girl. I still believe he is gay (Hope he won’t be visiting Penang that soon!).

Happy Valentine’s Day

This time around, I saw lots of my friends or colleagues pairing up becoming couples. Some already sort of announce to the world whereas some are still secretly dating, thinking no one knows. Anyhow, I am truly happy for you guys (You know who you are). As for my newly wedded friends or colleagues, I wish you guys a first Valentine’s Day as husband and wife! Hope that we could see babies in 9 months time!

 

Today is an important day for all couples. Trust me; if you (guys) don’t see the importance of it your partner will surely make you realize its importance.

 

For dating couples, it is a day with roses, candlelight dinner, wine and presents! 

For some, it is a day to test their skill of balancing two dates with two partners (unknown each other’s existence). Some guys use it as the day he propose to his other half; whereas some couples ties the knots today.

 

For those unattached, it is might be just another day, a sad day or a happy day:

Happy Day: Someone agrees for dating today! Going on a date means a lot. It shows that there is a chance to move to next level of relationship. So, the guy or the girl usually gets very nervous before the date. Some might even ask their best friends to teach them how to talk, how to dress, where to dine, or what to do. I remembered when I was in form 2, I wanted to call up a girl and chat with her on the phone. I was so nervous that I wrote my conversation inside a piece of paper and jot down some points to remind me what to say just in case we end up being silence. Silly me!

 

Just Another Day: It’s just a normal day only that most restaurants or dining places are fully booked. Same goes to some hotels. You see more wedding cars on the road and might be laughing at the groom “Hey, do you know that it’s the beginning of your miserable life today?”  You turn on the TV, and it keeps showing movie about a guy meet up a girl and get together, then for some reason there are some misunderstandings till they quarrel and break up, soon they realize something else or start to miss each other and finally ends up together again. Boring!

 

Sad Day: Seeing people hand in hand along the street, seeing couples madly in love, seeing roses being delivered to female friends and seeing almost everyone has their calendar booked for today; you will feel lonely, sad or even jealous of every couple. Just look at the smile on their faces. 

Some will pretend to be busy today or even say that they have some appointments and could not be reached for a few days, but in actual fact they are hiding at home, cutting all communications to the world. Don’t dare to go out because the love sight will make them sad; and don’t dare to talk to anyone because they don’t want anyone to find out how sad and lonely they are.

I’m sure some will blog out how lonely the life is, missing someone or not dating again this time. Well, better luck next valentines!

                                                                                                                           

Which type do you belongs to?  Guess which one I am? Anyway, again, Happy Valentine’s Day!

Limpets? Limpeh? Lim's Pet?

When I was visiting supermarket one day, I came across a canned food called Limpets. There were Chinese characters written on it but my mandarin was not that good because I was a quarter of Banana – yellow (Chinese skin color) outside white (Western skin color) inside. Actually I dropped my mandarin lesson after Form 3 public exam because it was the only subject which I did not score an ‘A’ (I ‘kiasu’ - scare of losing), in fact I scored a ‘C’.

 

So, at first I thought it was a local food targeted the locals because the name same as Hokkien word of saying ‘myself’ - ‘Limpeh’.

 

After checking wikipedia, I then realized that it was a kind of snails which Chinese love to have it on steamboats.

 

Silly me, thinking that this expensive stuff is a pet food for Lim’s Pet.

Penang is Turning Into Desert!

I don’t know what is happening around Penang but it seemed like Global Warming seems affecting the weather. I don’t know about other states but the grass around whole Penang is dying due to the blazing sun and intense heat. 

The only good thing about this is the sight looks similar to autumn season;

but the bad thing is that when the dry grass caught fire, the fire might spread to whole Penang!

 

One month back, State Meteorological Department strangely recorded a dip of 3°C in temperature for Penang and other Northern regions. Now Penang slowly turns into desert! What is happening here?

Top 5 Signs A Girl is Desperate For a Husband

*Update 3:05pm: My friend just called and asking me to remove his name (chicken!), just in case that girl read my blog; so now he is know as Chicken!* 

Last few days, I was having a chat with Chicken over the phone for more than an hour (before you say it, yeah we were gay partners :p). We were discussing on a close female friend that we knew who had turned desperate for a husband. It seemed that when a single girl becomes older, her chances of getting a boyfriend or husband becomes slimmer because she need to compete with younger girls; whereas for single guys, the older you get the more ‘valuable’ you become among girls with more or less the same age. However, we were disappointed on how she turned out to be because she was one of the hottest girls I had ever met…. last time.

 

I’m sure getting bombarded by some girls because of this entry (if you girls bombard me, this means that you are admitting so). This is what I observe on some girls around my age (those reaching end of 20s). So, here is the list of top 5 signs that a girl is desperate for a husband or marriage. Anyway, some are for entertainment purpose (because I only heard it, no proof), don’t get too serious (but sadly some are true)!

5. Always carry a pack of condom with holes around, or shall I say Con-Doom. Reason is that if the guy being conned to use it, his life is doomed to be with her since she might carry his baby! So, guys, it's a trap!

4. Keep telling the guy that although her body is not hot but good for bearing children. This supposes to be a direct hint to the guy, so guy if you like her, go for it; if not, stay away. I mean far far far away!

3. Keep hanging around with guys younger than her age. Why? Because if slim chance among older guys, why not open up the ‘market’ with less stringent criteria? And remember that love has no boundaries, especially age. By the way, a note to remember, please don’t ask her why, else this will happen to you.

2. Broadcasting her sms to all single guys she know, saying that she is no longer young and could marry straight with just a few dating. Unbelievable? Well, this is really happening!

FINALLY

1.Turning wedding flower throwing ceremony into a rugby match. Just in case, you don’t know there is a belief that the girl who manage to catch the flower thrown by the bride would be the next one getting married. So, if you see a few girls fighting around over a bouquet of flower, you know how desperate they are!

 

Well, among the 5 things I have mentioned above, more than half of the things are currently being practiced by that female friend of mine. Sad huh? By the way, Chicken is single and available! Don't worry i was joking on the gay part.

I've Lost 4 Kg!

Coming back from Chinese New Year,  I got a lot of compliment that I have gotten slimmer. I thought that maybe because I had changed my hair to spiky style with hair standing straight up, giving me an extra 5cm height. 

In addition, I had dyed my hair to dark yellowish brown, so the hair color might had helped in the slimmer look.

So, I was thanking my hair stylist instead. By the way, some of my colleagues or friends were really sarcastic. It was always better not to believe in any word they said.

 

Today I hit the gym for the first time after my ankle injury just to condition my left ankle and made sure that it was ready for sport. Out of curiosity, I stepped on the weighing machine, expecting weight increase because was not able to go to the gym or volleyball game for the past 2 weeks. By then I realized that I had lost 4 kg in just a month! I could not believe it and tried to weigh myself again and again!

 

Gee, what a good motivation to visit the gym regularly! Yeah!

 

By the way, if I saw the weighing machine saying “Out of Order” tomorrow. Maybe I was too heavy till I spoilt it or maybe the 4kg was incorrect…..

Thing To Do for Better Luck in Genting Casino (Also Apply To Other Casinos)

As promised, I shall blog about Genting Casino this time but not entirely on the spooky part but on some practical methods I observed on some gamblers for better luck in the casino.

Rumor goes that Genting Casino has the best feng shui of all. The setting of the place brings lots of luck to the casino. I guess that’s why I kept losing my money most of the time; and I always heard people losing instead of winning. 

 

Here are some ways to cheat the Feng Shui into bringing luck to you. Remember this is what I observed and NOT certified by the famous Lilian Too.

 

1. Enter the casino entrance by reversing your body (butt goes in first). Instead of directly contact this feng shui dimension face on, why not reverse your body and counter it with the most inauspicious part of your body, your backside.
2. Wear red underwear. This is a well-known practice to bring you luck according to the Chinese, because red is an auspicious color. Underwear or panty could counter the most inauspicious part of your body.
3. Unzip your pant. Once my relative accidentally forgot to unzip his pant, somehow he won a lot. So, I guess the logic is with all the bad feng shui facing you at the casino table, you counter it again with the most inauspicious part of your body. Who knows, if this is effective maybe in future there will be this sign around.
4. Throwing candies under the casino tables. I saw this a lot. It was believed that there were little ghosts under the table helping the casino winning money from the gamblers. Since the ghosts consisted of little children’s spirits, the candies will keep them busy from making you lose.
5. Do not pee in the casino toilet. Fluid is an important part of the body, some gambler assumes that if you pee it away, it is like putting money into the casino. So, pee outside the casino… I mean the toilet outside.
6. No contact with the casino God of Fortune. During Chinese New Year, you could see lots of people dressed as God of Fortune giving angpows to people (only Genting Vouchers inside). The God of Fortunes were actually hired by the casino (just in case you don’t know…duh) and the hidden intention was giving fortune to the casino. Some gamblers even avoided looking at them.

 

So, that’s all folks! These were the 6 things I observed during my 3 days stay in Genting. Please do share some methods you observe whenever you are in the casino.

Spooky Genting ( A Compilation of Eerie Stories and Rumors)

Since I am now not at Genting Highland anymore, and since my best friend, Lion also doesn’t know much about the some spooky rumors around that area, I have managed to compile some stories that might add to everyone’s knowledge. Please remember that this stories does not have any solid proof. Maybe someone out there could provide some insights on these stories.

 

Karak Highway

Let start from the bottom, the Karak Highways. There was a story going around for quite sometimes. Once a family was traveling along Karak Highway at night and just after the tunnel, their car suddenly broke down. The husband tried to start the car but failed and so he tried to fix. He went out, asking his wife to stay inside the car and locked it, because it was too dark. So, armed with a torch light and some tools, he opened the car hood and started fixing. The wife could not see the husband because the view was completely covered by the hood.

After a few minutes, there were banging on the roof of the car. The wife got scared but remembered her husband’s advice and did not go out. There were cars driving pass them initially slowing down but sped off when they came near to the vehicle. Sensing something amiss, the wife dialed for the police.

Soon, a patrol car came and stop a distance behind the car, shone light at her and tell her to run as fast as she could to the patrol car without look back. She followed their advice but out of curiosity, she looked back and she saw a Pontianak  (a local vampire) holding her husband's head and banging on the car. 

Not really sure, how truth this story was. I heard a few version of it but the content was about the same. Out of curiosity, I did some searching and realized that there were really lots of accidents around that place. At least one or two serious one per year, I remembered seeing some serious car crash when I traveled to Genting last time but strangely it was not reported in the newspaper. Here is some articles that I managed to dig out: The famous one in 1990, recent ones (June 4, 2008) and the most recent ones (Jan, 19 2009). There was even one accident with ghostly photos.

 

Genting Themepark

Words from the street which goes that if you stroll around the themepark at night, you could some times heard people screaming or some equipment might came to life for no apparent reason.

 

I heard that it was haunted by those who died while playing at the theme park. One accident I heard was that a long hair girl got her scalp ripped off when playing the Space Shot. Her hair somehow got stuck by the machine, and the velocity of the free fall killed her instantly. I also heard that there were some fatal accident on the Corkscrew and people mysteriously missing when they paddled into the old Shark mouth (heard that it was sealed off).  

 

In addition, one of my friends (after viewing my previous entry) told me that he saw children playing at the closed theme park at night!

 

So, I don’t know how true the haunting and accidents were, whether it was a good cover-up or just some stories to scare off some people but if anyone had some first hand experience, please do share.

 

Genting Hotels and Appartment

Ria Appartment (currently close)

This might be a coincidence but I heard many people fell sick after staying there. I got an anonymous email saying that one of the floors was totally sealed off and although no one was living at that floor, you could hear many people banging at the lift whenever your lift zoomed through that floor during midnight.

 

I did some research and it seemed that there were a lot of people experiencing seeing unusual figures or hearing unexplainable noise when staying at the apartment. There was also a history lesson on Ria Apartment and why the blocks were then renamed to Pahang and Selangor block.

 

Other Genting Hotels

There were lots of stories regarding some locked rooms and figures appearing out of nowhere and then jumped out from the windows. I heard that there were some suicides incidents because of gambling debts. That is why the windows of all rooms had been adjusted so that you could only open it slightly and enough to let the cold air in. Try typing “Genting Hotel Haunted” in your search engine and I bet there were lots of eerie happenings for you to read about.

 

One thing I was very sure was that if you requested changing room from the front desk, the staff would change it for you without asking anything. My friend tried it before, and this raised my curiosity to another level.

 

Genting Casino

Although there was no much reported incident regarding the casino but it was considered a place full of little ghost. I shall start another entry on some ways to win money in the casino which was practiced by my aunt. One of the methods was giving the little ghosts some candies. But still depends on your believing.

 

There was one incident reported in the newspaper about a granny reported missing from the casino but was found at a far far place later.

 

 

This is what I managed to compile from my reading some stories and hearing some first hand experience. It might not be true and just some rumor. Just in case I go missing after this entry is being published or this entry is suddenly removed. Then you guys could suspect what might happen to me or this entry.
