a place where she always goes

realised that i dont get freaked out much. of course there are exceptions. some people get spooked easily by morbid things. scary movies and bloody images. fine. i laugh. as in seriously. some are just simply so fake. for obvious reasons. i sound weird la. but those who know me will know i'm simply like -that-.

but of course i do get spooked. 1. flying insects. 2. true incidents.

and when i say true incidents, i dont mean true ghost stories. i mean real true incidents.
just watched the programme "missing" on channel 5. was kinda spooked in a way because it brought back memories.

remember the two missing boys in 1986? yeah. maybe some might remember, some dont. i remember it cos it hit the headlines for a long period of time. at least on lianhe wanbao and xinmin, the papers that my parents read for leisure and i scan through sometimes. yeah, chinese papers. major headlines. especially when the case was reopened when we were in p6. now i finally understand why the case was reopened after 11 years. still remember when i was young and when my family went malaysia with my relatives, all the aunts and uncles like to say "better follow the adults when you move around, or else you might be kidnapped to become beggars in bangkok or 'girl' changed into 'boy' and vice versa and who knows what might become of you..." it's their way of scaring the kids and making sure that we follow. yeah we did. closely. all of us were spooked by it due to the major headlines. so spooked that i can still remember it vividly.

it must be a torture for their parents, who are living till now. almost 18 years have went by and all they hold on to, are their 12year old photos and plenty of rumours which may not be true half the time. 18 years seem so long ago. i wonder if the two boys (or rather, they would be adults by now if they're still living..) are still somewhere around in this world. appparently the case still remains open, i think.

it is very freaky. to know that such a thing actually happened, and people are grasping at whatever information they think they have, trying to speculate what had happened to the boys. and for once, i'm spooked. not exactly freaked, but it's just the uneasy unsettling feeling that you get sometimes in your stomach. something like that. get what i'm saying? hm.

might just have a sleepless night tonight, and i can safely guarantee, it's definitely not because of my 2.5hr nap in the afternoon. before i sleep, i'd think of the two boys and wonder. what happened.

was watching heartlanders just now and realised that vincent ng is still as cute as ever. remember the first time i had a crush on him was when he was in star search in 1997, together with yvonne lim. they seem such a perfect couple to me. i still think they look very compatible. alan tern is damn goodlooking as well la, but i think he lost some weight cos his face looks much more angular now. and priscilla chen is damn chio la. at least in heartlanders.
