My friend lives in a Temerloh housing area where it's mostly surrounded by trees and high land areas.
One evening he went to town for a movie with his friends. He was having a lot fun before he realized it was getting very late. He quickly made his way home. It was unusually dark and creepy that nite. As he was walking, he was astonished to find an old, creepy-looking street peddlar selling some books along the road. It gave him the shivers when he noticed this pale old guy staring at him.
The old guy said, "Son, why don't you get a book ... it will keep you company".
My friend acted brave and thought why not. He had a look at the old man's collection ... his hair began to rise up on end when he noticed all the books were related to the supernatural. Nonetheless, he found one that was very interesting so he asked the old man, "How much is this, Uncle?"
The old guy replied, "Well son ... that's an interesting book ... it's RM250."
My friend was shocked and said "But ... but ... that's so expensive..."
The old man said nothing but glared at my friend which freaked him out. He quickly rummaged through his pockets and found RM200. "T-t-this's all I have" he said.
The old guy replied, "It's okay, son ....you can've the book for that price."
As my friend hastily paid for it and made a dash for home, the old man called out to him and said, "Son ...whatever happens, don't you ever flip the book to it's last page ... remember these words ...or you will regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Reaching home, he quickly asked his parents, "Dad ... mom ... are there any new booksellers nearby?"
"Not that we know of ... but we've heard of a creepy old man that appears only at nite during a full moon and then disappears just as mysteriously. Nobody knows who he is, or where he comes from but many have become victims in his wake... why son?"
"N-nothing... just asking", said my friend and ran straight to his room.
Nervously, he opened the book and began reading, all the time remembering the warning the old man had given him. But after a while, he grew tired and fell asleep. At midnite, as he was sound asleep in bed, a cold gush of wind blew in through his bedroom window which startled him and sent chills down his spine. He looked at his table and noticed the wind had blown the pages of the book to its last page!!!!!
For awhile, he laid in bed - frozen in fear, but soon curiosity got the better of him.He had to know what was on the last page. Slowly he got out of bed and carefully picked up the book. As he glimpsed at the last page, he let out a blood-curling scream and fainted ...
This is what he read on the last page:
Retail Price : RM 20
Promotional Price : RM 10
CRAPPY.....
I figure I'd better write a hell lot today before I disappear again.
But what???
Cousin's settling in really well in Auckland and she's in choir. Wonder whether she's an alto. Heh.

But I've been telling that to others too. Oh well........
Urgh. Have this
really huge urge to bash him up.
*bish*
There. Hope you got a good one up your nose. I think you deserve that.
James finished his Chemistry...
Waaaaah. I told myself not to be stressed out by these highly competitive people but they just can't keep their amazing progress to themselves! So I'm kinda glad that I'm going to Singapore earlier so that I can really mug and
hopefully beat those people. Hmmphf. Ooh. Maybe I should go now. And start planning for the next two weeks of intensive mugging. And perhaps try aiming for more As.
Watched
I Not Stupid at uncle's place just now. It's not as stupid as I think it would be. In fact it addresses the very problems in the Singapore society. The kids' acting are really good. Very real. Almost made me shed my tears many times.

Watched that yesterday and it's supposed to be a thriller?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? At least that's what the reviewer said. And what the poster protrayed. Darn.
Laughed my butt off and it was
so predictable with the usual kick-balls action. Sigh. Should've made everybody watch Star Wars with me.
Something's wrong with TMnet!! Grrrr...
Felt like blogging today. But have nothing much to say. Oh well.
Went out today with a few friends. It's so nice to be able to see them again.
Wait. Now wasn't that
yesterday?? Heh.
Wow. Isn't it a wonder that there's practically a kind of cream for different parts of your face? Like, a cream for the area around the lips and some for dark spots and a special one for the eye area and the list goes on. Found this out today when I went shopping with mom. Was utterly amazed. And the salesgirls...somehow they manage to look damn good without 2-inch-thick makeup. Hm. I need enlightenment regarding this.
Great. I have allowed myself to watch the England vs Sweden match. Great.
He's back! And is as bitchy as ever. I love you Wee Lee! Go drop him a
line.
I have a bad feeling I'll be hooked to the TV...watching soccer. Help. And I thought I'll be immune to this soccer fever. Help. So I guess I must be exposed to the fever virus before acquiring the immunity against it eh? Oh no. Help.
