\\*Strange......*//

Woke up at 1318 h today. I was really exhausted after the trip to Escape Theme Park yesterday. Among the crazy money-wasters included: Me, Li Yue, Li Ting and Dorothea. Here are the highlights:
The park tore down most of its thrill rides. No inverter, no rainbow, no roller coaster. That explained why we went on the Pirate Ship 5 times. The first time, me and Li Yue took the seat on the far end of the ship. I still don't understand why we were so brave. When the ship went up to the maximum point, my entire body was shaking as if I was in Antartica. It was crazy and the ship felt like it was rocking for ages before we were let down. I was too concentrated on screaming to count the number of oscillations the ship made, but all I knew was that it made my legs feel like jelly when I got down.

Wet and Wild got wetter than ever. I was wet all through the day and stinking when I got home. I sat at the back during the first time and when the boat slid down, SPLASH! I was drenched. The higher drop brought more murky water into my clothes and I looked as if I had depression, standing under the rain for hours. It was not so bad at the front. When only my pants were soaked, we went for the boat which could spray water. That got us drenched again. Li Ting and Dorothea upped the wetness by spilling entire bottles of water on our bodies. We looked horrible.

Me and Li Yue went to spin around on the superman thing later to dry our butts while Li Ting and Dorothea took the Wet and Wild for 7 consecutive times. While they were at it, we went around on the Ferris Wheel and stuff, to make full use of the $9 entrance fee. We left the park when all the rides closed for the day and made our way to the MRT station. We bought some food and drinks to fill our stomachs and that's when some queer things happened.

"We go throw first," Li Yue stood up with all the packaging and walked towards the dustbin with Dorothea. Li Ting was in the station already, waiting for us. I followed them a few seconds later only to see Li Yue being confronted by an old smoking man with white hair. He was scolding her in Hokkien, and all 3 of us there couldn't understand it. Li Yue could only make out a vulgar phrase. He was picking rubbish from the bin there and transferring them to a bigger one the rubbish men drive around all day. He was scolding her for throwing the plastic bag into the big bin, which made no sense at all because he had to clear it from the small one anyway. There was an old skinny woman beside him too, and she too was mumbling and grumbling along with him. We paid little notice to her and move further away to contemplate their words. This was when Li Yue realised that she hadn't dumped the small plastic cups. I glanced at the unreasonable old man and volunteered to throw it for her. He couldn't do anything to me anyway...... Or could he? I didn't give it much thought as the right time came. A boy walked past the dumpster and flung some rubbish in. I quickly followed and dropped the cups in. Then we ran up the steps into the safety of the MRT station with the man cursing behind us. Something weird ran along in the back of my head but the only thing I thought of at the point of time was the darn old man scolding me but not the boy. We met Li Ting and told her everything and Dorothea mentioned the old lady...... She had disappeared as I dropped the cups into the dumpster. It was like a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't thing. Only that it was really creepy. She couldn't have walked away so quickly and definitely she couldn't have disapparated like Harry Potter...... Or could she?

This sparked off the topic about ghosts all the way back to the west. The weird thing was a headline from a Chinese newspaper a lady was reading on the train. It read: "Rubbish Truck Crashes Into 7 Cars" and on top of it was a green arrow with the words "Driver dies suddenly". It was really creepy, but after much thought, we concluded that the man was human as he could touch and pick up rubbish, but the lady......
