Eeeeekksss....sorry for the long delay in updating my blog.Alot has and has not been happening (if that made any sense). For starters, I'm currently under the weather with a bad bad BAD cough. It started off with just a throat infection,then gradually turned into a whooping cough...ANNOYING!!

I finally got the chance to watch 'Sepet'.The show won the best movie award at the Malaysian film festival. Its a love story between a malay girl and a chinese boy. It was an interesting movie. Funny at parts, sad at some but mostly very romantic. The end freaked me out a little. Let me try to summarise the story. This chinese boy who's mother is a baba (Peranakan women - chinese with malay influence) falls in love with a malay girl. He is a romantic who likes to write poems of love. However in the journey of finding the 'one' he falls at the hands of some wrong doings, making the sister of his greatest enemy pregnant. Ah Loong/Jason (his name) writes a letter to Orked (the girl's name) telling her that she's the one he's been waiting for all his life. However while waiting he did bad things which he has to take care of first before being with her eternally. Orked gets very angry and feels cheated and refuse to see Jason or talk to him. This goes on for quite a while. Orked dates other people while Jason keeps proclaiming his love for her through letters. After a few months,Orked gets a scholarship to study in Europe. On the day she was leaving, Jason rides frantically to see her off at the airport. In her car, Orked's mum begs her to read Jason's letters and to give him a last call. However, while making his way to the airport, Jason got into an accident and died. There was a scene with him lying on the ground dead with his phone next to him ringing, but in the next scene, Jason answers Orked's call, saying that he knows that she loves him. It was Jason's spirit that answered her called!!! how eerie is that?!?! I know its supposed to be romantic and all but I got freaked out!! Imagine how freaked out she'll be when she finds out that she spoke to Jason after he died. hehehe...
Anyway it was a good movie. Catch it sometime if and when u do get a chance.

On the topic of stories. Last weekend at A.Pat's birthday party. The cousins got together to tell ghost stories (a common thing with the cousins at parties - usually done on the staircases). At what other ghost stories to tell but the ones from Tekong (an island used for military training). I shall share this one with you. Thursdays are known as black thursdays in Tekong. There are no night duties, no night trainingsm basically everyone is made to go back to their bunks after a certain time. This is story behind it. A guy from a platoon fell sick and decided to take leave. He went to see the doctors which told him that he was alright to return to camp. So he returned back to camp and joined the marching platoon.But as he joined the platoon, one other guy went on a toilet break. So when they did the headcount, they miscalculated and left the other guy (in the toilet) behind. Only later when they did a name attendance, they realised that the toilet guy was missing. A search was made to find him. After 3 days, they finally found the guy behind the camp, with all of his body parts taken out and stacked properly ready for inspection.Gross huh? so now every thursday, he roams the place with certain of his body parts missing. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe.........
