Entertained but scared.

It's been a while since I last watched a scary film and since I gatal2 go and subscribed to April's Tayangan Hebat at Astro, my partner and I decided to layan "They Wait" just now.

The movie was about a tragedy befallen on one family during the Hungry Ghost Festival. I would say it's an OK scary movie, yet I wouldn't be watching it if I were alone... Haha.

I have something to share with you guys. When I was in secondary school, I was sooo into horror, dark mysteries and supernatural books.I think I read them too much that when I was in Form 5, I have had a some kind of a meltdown. I can't really explain much (as I can't quite understand why it happened)...

What happened was, on this one day I woke up and I started crying, crying and crying. I managed to get ready for school (I was schooling in SBPS, so it's a dormitory life), and I remembered it was like 5am or almost 6am , and I headed to one of our public phone available in front of our admin building. It was still a bit dark, and when I called home and my father answered and I was like sobbing and crying... I don't even remember what I was saying. Then my father asked me whether I want to talk to my mum and I said yes. But I don't remember what I told my mum too. I was like " sob...mie...sob sob... mummy.. sob". Got the idea right? Haha.

Cut the story short, I was still crying and was sitting in the principal's office waiting for my parents to come. When they arrived they asked permission to bring me back to home for a day. When we reached home, I remembered my mum started crying too, asking me what happened to me and stuff. She must have thought the worst. I couldn't say much cause I was still stupidly crying. And moments later my grandmother (I call her Mama) came to the house. Then she asked me to drink a glass of water with some weird pieces of wood inside. And I slept.

Amazingly, when I woke up, I was normal again. No more this heaviness in my chest that caused me to cry. I couldn't recall what caused me to cry earlier though. Being parents, they kept asking what happened to me. Then I told my mum and Mama that I was reading a ghost story the nite before, but not sure if the culprit because nothing else happened. Then they said that I was lemah semangat... which resulted in a meltdown. So I was forbidden to read anymore scary stuffs at that time. Yalah, with SPM coming at that time.

So since that incident, I gave up all ghost story books and no more horror films. Since I love reading so much, I started picking up romance novels instead. Haha, talking about a total diversion. Now that I'm an adult, I still somehow detest horror movies... and after all these years I finally read a scary novel months ago. I'm playing it safe I think. Hehehe.

I wonder if anyone has ever experienced this lemah semangat thing... I don't know what to believe but I do hope it will never happened again. Did freak me out.

P/S - My partner is dragging me to watch Fast & Furious tmr nite. Hope it'll worth my Sunday nite...O_O
