Last Saturday, I went to the Botanic Garden for the first time ever for a shootout with 2 of my girl friends.. After that, we met some other friends to hang out as it was one my friend’s birthday… We chilled for some coffee & then to Mount Faber.. We went to West Coast for supper and then one of the guys wanted to go for some exploring as we had no plans at the moment… I was the only one against it so I had no choice but to follow.. Anyway, we were supposed to send one of them home when he decided to stay for the venture.
Halfway, I stopped to change driver as I do not want to drive in these spooky places.. We tried to find the Thompson Road but to no avail… On the way for a toilet break at the pump station, we saw a wrecked car in the middle of the road.. Apparently, the white car had crashed into the barrier that was dividing the two roads. So, half of the car was on our side and the other half was on the other side.. Part of the car was separated from it’s body.. It was a total mess.. The ambulance had just left so I couldn’t see whether there were any casualties..
So anyway, after that we proceeded to a cemetery.. Damn it! Why would they want to go to such places… It’s not that I’m scared really.. It’s just that I find it inappropriate to disturb these places and there were undertakers.. What would they think right? Ok, so we went in and out.. nothing there.. It was a very long stretch of road ahead so we stopped somewhere at the side of the road for a smoke.. I was squatting on the grass patch when suddenly I felt 2 hits on my butt!!! I stood up and looked at the spot but I couldn’t find anything there… I didn’t dare to sit there again so I stood next to the vehicle.
Suddenly my friend shouted to me, “I think I know what hit your butt!!”. Naturally I said, “What?” and squat beside her to see what was it.. It was something we could not fathom at first.. Then I realised, “It’s a small snake!!”. I couldn’t help feeling grossed out! A freaking snake jumped and hit my butt?? Gross… It was all curled up so intensely and she began to find some stick to provoke the creature. We wanted to confirm by seeing his head..LOL! So after tossing and poking it gently, we realised that the snake was actually wrapping around a lizard! Euugggh….! That’s even grosser! And guess what she said next?? “Hey look! the snake’s biting off the head of the lizard!”. Well, seriously, you don’t have to tell me that! Uuurgggh!! Jaz took over the thing & lifted the snake up when suddenly it uncurled and fell to the the grass, releasing the lizard.. The snake was lost among the grass and the lizard stayed at the same spot motionless.. I was seriously glad to see the lizard moving off slowly into the grass after some time. After that, we were dropped off one by one at our house.

Upon reaching home, I washed up and stayed glued in my room watching TV, etc… It was heavy downpour outside and I kept going to the toilet as I had drank way too much earlier.. and yes, I have a weak bladder. I couldn’t make myself sleep so it went out for a few hours. The rain had already subsided then. At about 4.30am, I went to the toilet again. Ok, I have this habit of looking out the window everytime I pass the toilet. So, I looked out the window and saw a couple arguing in the carpark. I know this based on their body language. So I stayed there for awhile looking at them. Could hear faint shoutings from the girl. Out of a sudden, it was heavy downpour again.. The couple still stood there showing no signs of bother for the rain..
At about 5 in the morning, the girl slowly left the guy and went up the lift beside my block. She went out of the lift at ninth floor and disappeared into the corridor. I still stood there wondering about the whereabouts of the guy. As I was busy looking for him, I saw a black shadow appearing on the ninth floor lift lobby from the corner of my eye. It was the girl.. I layed low and switched off the lights, not wanting her to notice me… She jumped up and rested her elbows on the parapet. I guessed to have a better view below.. To my utter disbelief and a rude shock, she crossed over the parapet and stood at the sill. I backed away feeling shocked! My imagination was already running wild.. I don’t want to witness this and I definitely do not want to hear the loud thud. I went to my room thinking what to do while pacing up and down in my room.. I went to the kitchen again to have a look. She was already sitting down on the sill with her legs dangling, ready to jump.
Feeling scared, I immediately called my mom’s mobile. She went out of her room and looked out the window. She couldn’t believe it either.. By then, I was contemplating on whether to call the police. I really didn’t know what to do.. Half hour later or so, we saw the boyfriend at the lift lobby, looking out at her. He stood there for some time. I guessed he was talking her out of it or something.. She was unmoved.. She sat there, hair down while resting her head at the side. If the guy wasn’t there and I had just looked out the window at that point of time.. I swear I could have mistaken her for a ghost. It was a scary sight… By this time, I have already decided not to call the police as she already had a company. Furthermore, after much thinking I figured that the presence of the police guys may threaten her to jump. And of course I didn’t want that to happen.. I’ll be guilty as charged if it would have happened. I didn’t stay at the window but I went out once in a while to the toilet and to look at them. At about 6am, a second guy appeared standing beside the boyfriend.. Slightly after 6.30am, the place was already empty. I looked at the foot of the block and was glad that it had no body. I guess the guys were successful in talking her out of it and boy was I relieved! I managed to sleep about an hour later after that…
