10 Most 'Haunted' Places In Singapore

Is it true?
Are these places really the top 10 Most Haunted Places in Singapore?
Sure or not?
Really meh?

I've been to one so-called 'haunted house' in the Dempsey area.
Then, we were a group of kaypoh, curious bunch of idiots.
It was somewhere in 2002.

My kid brother, Jai rented a car - we went for a joyride!
I don't know why when we all get together, we would
always have this section where we share GHOSTS stories!
What happened next, one of our friends suggested we go
check out this 'momok' house...

Parked the car somewhere near this old, dilapidated, creepy-looking
house, we went inside...

Jai has got this torchlight, we all huddled together and walked past the
hall... we saw a flight of stairs leading to some sort of a basement...
A couple of the girls were going down the stairs, and I was about to step on the

first flight of stairs when I heard a commotion,

like someone was shouting, heavy footsteps...

Alamak!!! Mampos!!! Got Hantu liao!!!
Naturally, I panicked lah... what else to do?
I was scared, my heart pumping twice than normal,
I broke into a cold sweat , I felt chill running down my spine.
Someone grabbed my hand - sheeshkebabs! so darn dark!!!

Woii!!! What the hell is happening????!!!!

Suddenly, in the darkness, I saw a man holding something that looked like a pole!!!
Mampos ah!!! My instint told me to CABOT!!!
It was chaos, the girls were screaming (me too lah!), others were running frantically!

OI!!! Lari! Lari! Keluar!

Some unfamiliar voice swearing in some bloody
foreign language that was super slowly registering in my head...

We all ran outside, run as fast as we can towards the car!
Sekali, got this old man, old Chinese man threatening to whack us with his 'pole'.
I just stood next to the car with the rest.

Jai was explaining & trying to calm the Ah Pek down...
When we saw him, we all apologized to the Ah Pek for intruding.

He was babbling something I couldn't understand...
Shortly after all that, we all left hastily.

In the car, we all broke into laughter!!! Hah! Ketawa rabak giler punyer!!!
It turned out that the Ah Pek was actually living there 'illegally'.
He thought we were a bunch of hooligans. That is why he got
his pole to chase us away... Merapek ah Ah Pek...!

So, padan muka all of us. We all deserved it.

Want to experience ghost ah?
Bukan nyer nampak hantu, Ah Pek yang naik HANTU!!!
Personally, we don't need to go to 'haunted' places to catch a glimpse
of ghost, hantu, momok or Casper...
These spirits could be roaming anywhere, everywhere.

Panic At The Disco (NOT!!!)

I tossed & turned on the bed. Outside it looked like daybreak. I quickly grabbed my handphone. Ya Allah!!! I gasped! It's 7:09am already!!!

Oh no!!! Danish would be late for school!!!

Leapt to my feet & ran towards Danish's room. While I was turning on the lights, I called out for Danish to wake up.

"Wake up Danish!"

His bed was empty!!! Oh dear!!! Where is he? Ok, maybe he's in the bathroom... But, the lights are not turned on. No splashing of water... Where is Danish?

I was still standing there, panic-strickened. I've lost my son!!!

I was walking slowly, still thinking, then my Sayang said... "Sayang, it's Saturday... Danish is not here. Come back to bed..."

Ohh... It's Saturday ah... Phew! I tot I taw a pooty tat...

I went to back to bed... 'cuddle-cuddle' with Sayang...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Choli Angel Called Again

Andy - "Halo kak... ini lagi di warung Nikmat, ini ada kakak latah itu..."

Me - "Korang nak makan apa?... Sup Buntut?"

Andy - "Iya, sama nasi-nasi aja.."

(i drooled... nyut-nyut tekak kawan...)

Andy passed the phone to 'kakak latah' - they were conversing in Javanese.

Kakak Latah - "jhdiudsjgfasdcshcvydfiudbkjfbjkvaysdgtqiuwtiugkadvkhasvyafsdiyf..."

-LAUGHTER-

Ayus - "ah ling, ko tengok ah si budak ni, dia dah melampau. kakak ni kan tengah bawak makanan, kalau jatuh kan dah susah. nanti kena bayar..."

Andy kena marah ngan ayus... tu lah andy...

i almost forgot - in my list of things to do in Bali, MUST GO EAT at Mak Beng (again) as well...

Good Morning Choli . . .

"Whoaa... What kind of vessel is this...? So HUGE!!!... Oh look! We are at Vivocity already...!"

"Sayang, is that a Filipino ship?"

Well, Sayang just kept quiet, anyway... Saw one of the crew members emerged from one of the decks - combing his? her? hair... A view from the back, looks macho, but got long hair leh... Lahhh... Abang lembut (Soft Brother, hee hee hee...) combing his hair... He stretched out to pick a Q-Tip...

Ok, I'd better grap a memo pad & pen. I need to list out the things to pack/bring to Loola. While I stretched my hand to grab me memo pad & pen, suddenly...

tet... tet tet... tet... (Ringtone "Tied Up Too Tight - HARD-Fi")

My pfftppppffftt phone rang... argh... kaco lah...! Orang tengah mimpi nih... (Alamak, very the disturbing, one... I'm dreaming lah...)


"HELLLLLLLLO!!! SELAMAT PAGGGGGIIII!!! GOOOOOD MORRRRRNINGGGG PEK'MBEM!!! GOOOD MORNINGGG CHOLI ANGEL...!!!"


It was the rest of my pek'mbems, my Choli Angels geng-geng tahi lalat. Ayus, Yan & Andy Suryo Wibowo Lesmono Tan Xiang Chuen Choon Choon - greetings from Bali. Aikk...?! Baru pukol 8:55am... (WIB 7:55am)

(oii apa lah korang? kasi lah chan gua bobok kejap...gua punya morning 'nap' interrupted pula... aisehmenn...)

They put me on the speaker,

Ayus - "AH LINGGGG.....!!! Tido eh? Cepat, kau pegi naik Garuda sekarang jugak. Kitorang tunggu kat sini"

Me (my voice cracking) - "ak'ah ok, dok... aku ngah tido ni... Eh, korang pagi dah bangun? Buat apa hah? Tunggu ah, kejap lagi aku sampai"

Andy (from the background) - "Mau pergi tanning, kakkk..."

Yan (also, at the back) - "Hello gal..."

Me (voice still cracking) - "Hello, hello... Korang nak gi tan katne? Kat Dreamland eh? Korang dah serapan belom?"

Ayus - "belom dok. kita minom kopi je. kitorang nak breakfast ngan kau ni"

Me - "ok-ok, serapan pon dah siap. datang ah sekarang. nanti lepas makan aku boleh ikot korang pulak..."

Ayus - "alah ah ling, kesian ah aku dengar kau cakap gini..."
(in my small heart saying - kesian... eh? memang kesian tauuuuu...!)

Ayus - "Ling, kau nak pisgor sama rojak eh? nanti aku belikan, tapi nanti kalau dah sampai dah tak garing, camne?"

Yan (at the background) - "dia bilang tak kisah lah yus... boleh. boleh. belikan."

Andy - "kak, nanti belikan bumbu nya aja... gak usah buah-buahan nya... rojak ibuk kan kak?"

Me - "ak'ah lah, tak kisah lah, bumbu pon bumbu... pisgor harossss..."

Ayus - "Ling, nanti aku antar pakai Visnu Kencana eh..."

Me - "boleh yus... itu lagi cepat dari Garuda!"

-LAUGHTER-

Ayus - "ok ah ling, ko take care tau - nanti kitorang call lagi - bye gal..."

Andy & Yan - "Bye..."

Me - "ok, bye... take care k..."

Eyes wide open now. Definitely cannot go back to sleep what... So sweet of them to call...

Yan, tamak kau. Sekali dua kali kau pegi Bali tahun ni... (The last time she went with us in March, exactly 4 months ago)

Ya lah, usually, all of us go to Bali together-gether. That's why lah... Mungkin they feel janggal si ah ling ni takde...

I really appreciate it guys. Korang ingat kat aku ni... kesian... teringin nak makan pisgor, rojak, sate jawa parkir, plengkung, baruna, sup buntut, jus alpukat, soda gembira, empik2 tempe, tapai goreng, murtabak holland terang bulan, desserts kat casa luna [ubud]...

Nanti... nanti... aku sure balas dendam punya...

The Earth Dies Screaming

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence
The highways quiet scars across the land
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming
The earth dies screaming

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land

Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting
Oil-less engines seized by dirt and sand
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding
The earth dies screaming

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land

Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables
Money clutched within a boney hand
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving
The earth dies screaming

Questioning the global warmer

So how? We all know about it and we all think about all the ways we could make changes to help prevent it. So how? Is this all we can do?

But it means sacrificing comforts and convenience. Who is willing to do that? Who is willing to share their ride with someone else, have to wait for buses or trains, carry around extra shopping bags, avoid using their air-conditioning, sort out their refuse for recycling? All this extra effort and no reward?

What about preventing global warming? But I am just one person and the world is filled with billions of other who are all wasting and polluting, what difference can I make? Should I live in hardship while others enjoy the good life at the world’s expense. What’s the harm in just joining the crowd?

But what would my children say or my future grandchildren in 50 years time think? "My Grandparents helped cause the environmental problems we face" or "My grandparents helped avoid the environmental problems"?

Think about it, and then also think about what we say about those who stand up against oppression around the world (Mahatma Gandhi in India or Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma for instance). Often doing the right thing doesn’t help you, it may even get you killed, but what matters most is the future and we must fight for the right for other that come after us to live the best life possible, not to mention all the other life that we share this planet with.

i like getting-together-gether with our family. shiok-ker-deli-syiok-ker-ding-dong!!!

it was like a pre-gathering before our next monthly cuzzs' gathering. 21 july at Warnaz...

Mak Busu & Cik Awi were busy preparing makan (food & beverages) for us - SWEET! THANKS MAK BUSU & CIK AWI!!! bukan itu saja, ada appetisers lagi! Fuyoh! Best lah!

Memories are made of these

The Song That Doesn't End

pssst... do you remember this? i know E-klek-tik will have a huge smile on her face!

Alma Mater & Mr LYM

i was reading one of my cuzzies' posts last night... floods of memories came back to carve a huge smile on my 'kerampesz' face... it was about an announcement made on the PA system by one of the staff of the school.

during my secondary school days, one of the highlights was my Principal, Mr LYM, who have left a deep impression on me until this very day.

Mr LYM was one helluva 'classic' & cool as a cucumber principal. cool because, whatever he said or do in front of all students, teachers & staff - he was utterly oblivious when all of us laughed,

giggled or chuckled... some teachers even resorted to covering their faces or mouths.

our P, always made announcements on the PA system - especially to tell off boys who loitered at the corridor. here it goes...

"det boi dey! dhon stend on de ko-ree-doh!"
(That boy there, don't stand on the corridor)

and during assembly - all of us can die laughing (i exaggerate abit, lah)... he'll make some speeches with his almost ala Phua Chu Kang style of talking.


"gers and boys, wen u gor to the horrl, prees dhon bring cheeken bonds"
(girls and boys, when you go to the hall, please don't bring chicken bones)

"feety-feety"
(fifty-fifty)

"kami kami..."
(he didn't know how to read 'kamikaze')


"eh-murt!!!"
(Edmund, one of my classmates)

what's so funny? some might ask... no, i'm not trying to poke fun on Mr LYM, but he is one of the reasons why most of us, ex-YTzens, still have a huge big smile on our faces when we talked about our secondary school days... oh, not only that, Mr LYM always had wedgies too!

he was always seen pulling his........... go figure...

to my fellow ex-YTzens of 1987 -1991...

Together in work and in play
In all our endeavours
Forward we shall go
With a zeal to learn
And eagerness to serve
And a tenacity of purpose
Show our love and loyalty
To country and school
Let's aspire to greater heights
In all we do
Onward, onward we shall go...

Welcome HOME Liyana!!!

When was the last time i saw you?

Yesterday... In the wee hours of the morning...

I dreamt that we were in a bus and you turned around to tell me that you're back.
You were with a guy (in my dreams je...)

I was surprised (not of the guy lah) but the fact that you suddenly appeared in my dreams
and telling me that you're back!

And so I found out earlier when I was very free to read your blog...

Alhamdulillah! You're home safe & sound.

WELCOME HOME CUZZ!!!

Well, when was the last time I saw you, seriously...

December 23 or 28 (please refresh my memory) 2002.
5 years ago...

Glad that you're back!

Baby Copsey

4.5 weeks (far right, a tiny lil' cell)


6 weeks


9 weeks

This is our little sleeping baby at 13 weeks scan. Was breakdancing at 9 weeks!

[Glen]

Our gynae, Dr JW, scanned my tummy on every visit. She's pretty thorough with the antenatal check-ups. Makes me feel comfortable.

It seems our little 'adik' ('kid brother/kid sister' - as Glen & Daniboy fondly call our baby) is pretty active. Moving alot since week 9. That's what Glen said earlier, "breakdancing at 9 weeks!"

Adik was seen''kenyolling' (breakdancing move like the caterpillar wave) when Dr JW called out, "Glen & Daniboy, would you like to see your little peanut?"

We were ecstatic! We were excited when we saw that! You should see the look on Glen's face. It was Daniboy's 2nd time viewing his adik on Dr JW's monitor. He's elated, he'll have a little adik to play with, to care for & I'm sure, he'll be a responsible Abang (big brother), InsyaAllah.
