Why staying near your relatives is bad.

My house is the first out of six houses in a row, in a compound. The other 5 houses ...are all my relatives. Meaning everyone don't have to do much to stalk one another. Just peek outside, and they can see it all...and then spread rumours from the seed of their speculation and of course, all my auntie's favourite = GOSSIP.

I admit I have been "hibernating" at home lately. Since Penang, I didn't have any plans to go out until now. Even since last week, I didn't really go out much.

Reason being Malaysia is seriously too dangerous. For example, Eddie's mom told me to take care when driving home especially when I stop at traffic lights. Cause snatch theft nowadays..are more bold. They will break your mirror and snatch your bag if you put it on the passenger seat. All within seconds.

Last week I still went out moderately, but this week, stayed at home totally. Which is quite unusual, so it striked out some curiousity amongst them.

So today..my auntie came over and asked me why nowadays I never go out? Ask if I know who and who broke up already and why.

I was like, yeah , they broke up so long ago already leh. Don't ask me why they broke up, ask them for the real story.

Then she asked " How about you? your boyfriend ?"

Immediately I know they are all curious. I just say "Honeymoon period over, no need to see so often"

I told my cousin about it, and she said her mom asked her ,too! LOL.

Well, I want to drag on the story actually, but Eddie's coming to find me tomorrow. oh wells.

Anyway the reason I haven't been going out is because :

1. Total loss of confidence. I am fat.
2. Need all the time in the world to go on a really strict diet (75% vegetable, 15% meat, 5% carbohydrates)..going out will ruin this diet.
3. Make time to exercise vigorously.
4. My car no petrol, lazy to pump, no money.
5. Bump into some "ghost car" ...

Okay, not the haunted ghost kind of ghost car...more like it did scared the shits out of me, but I was pretty sure it isn't something from the other world/dimension.

I was driving home late last Sunday, about 2am... with flying Mat Rempits (gangster bikers)on my left and right (as in they rode their motorcycle in the "Superman" style). That one scary enough already.

Then I need to pass through this highway which is 5minute drive in total darkness. There's this really old small car that was tailing me. I speed off (not really fast, just 90km/h. Dark eh, I don't want to hit the railings of the highway and dive down then die). The car was following at the same speed for like 5 seconds, and then it suddenly slow down, and offed its lights ! On the fast lane! Then slowly disappeared....

How wierd can that be? No one in their sane mind would do that. Its a dark highway...people (especially those who are scared of the dark) might just speed.. especially on the fast lane..and by the time those people's headlights can see their car, they would collide already. Are they like suicidal ?

Then my nonsensical mind kept thinking about all those horror stories that I heard and read automatically. ugh.

So I am like a frighten kitten now , staying at home, safe and sound...with pomelo leaves juice as barriers around my house to ward of evil spirits and ghost (chinese superstition says that to make sure no evil beings enter our house, we must soak pomelo leaves in water, and pour the water around our house and it will serve as a barrier to protect our house against them). ^^
