last night's MAW was really exciting and suprising! and i of course enjoyed it very much. and i certainly wanna go on such 'adventures' again!!!

why exciting... well, for one, i totally didn't know what to expect AT ALL. and well, going to such a eerie place late in the night is exciting enough isn't it. and since it is private property, we are actually 'trespassers' you know.

suprising because of my courage!!! there were like at least a million little flying insects buzzing around us and especially near my torchlight!! yuxin said they were sandflies. they kept crashing into my hand!!! then, aloysius kicked a frog which was about palm size. although the frog wasnt injured, it still looks kinda gross. there was even an insect [which i really suspect was a scorpion] on my chest and i swiped it off - with my bare hand!!! and all those tall bushes that kept scraping against us (>_<) i'm so shocked by my own bravery to go through all that without screaming and squirming!!! (^-^)v

woodneuk isn't that spooky actually even at midnight. perhaps it was because i was just too engrossed fending away the insects but there's really nothing to be freaked out about other than insects and other crawlies. the house was quite a normal run down building [and very much alike the hostel from kame's kindaichi (^0^)] with trash and broken tiles all over the place. the moonlight was relatively bright so we didn't even use our torchlights for some distance. and the constant traffic noise from the road just beside totally kills the atmosphere. i didn't take many shots cos that wasn't exactly why i went for this outing. i just wanted to look around, explore and see how scaredy cat or brave i was. all the spooky photos and rumors makes my hair stand, so i thought it would be fun to go there and experience it myself and see how it's really like.

the numbers were our call numbers just to make sure we're still here.. all 9 of us! somehow a number 10 aappeared.... (>_>) and apparently there is a superstition that we shouldnt call each other's real names in places like this... scaryyyyy~~
i'm really short aren't i?? (>.<) this definitely doesn't look like 11+pm!!
the blurness... result of tripod-less shake. i was just too lazy to lug the tripod around town.

da house! looks better in b/w. it was actually shot in colour with flash. but the sky turned out SUPER orangey and the house was even less scary looking in colour.

looks like sunset doesn't it??! it was actually close to midnight at that time. just outside the doorsteps were broken tiles, pieces of wood, shattered glass and a toilet seat [?!] scattered all around together with weeds and stones. inside the house, there was even a mos burger cup and a big glup on the floor!! such inconsiderate litter bugs.
there were several rooms that we didn't enter and we didn't go onto the second floor too.

is that blood i see??!!! *gasps*

the stairway

then, a frigtening thing happened!
we were shooting around this stairs and suddenly jisheng screamed. he got bitten by a scorpion!!! OMG!! he thought it was a wood splinter and was swiping it off his neck and the scorpion bit his finger!! then aloysius and melvin swatted if off with the monopod and *bam* melvin crushed it with his mighty boots. the scorpion was around palm's length.
so all of us stopped everything immediately, left as quickly as we could and rushed to gleneagles hospital. luckily the scorpion wasn't very toxic and jisheng was feeling ok after a while. phew~

since jisheng is so *cough* 'MAN', he survived it and was as genki as ever. since we, with me in particular, were hungry, we went to jalan kayu for roti prata supper!!! (^o^)
while we were waiting to order, willy suddenly appeared!!! (0.0)!! how small can singapore get??!!!! so he and his girlfriend joined us. yuxin and i shared a cho oiishi kambing soup and roti john!!! (^3^) although the roti john ended up being shared among all of us cos the serving is SO HUGE.
at first we actually thought of staying out till the first bus/train home. but i guess everyone got tired. well duh, it was already 3.30am when we left the roti prata stall.
and melvin was so super nice to send yuxin, aloysius and i home!!
it's really FUN FUN FUN riding his pick up truck with super cooling [but sometimes stinky] late night wind disfiguring our faces. since it was so early in the morning, there was very little traffic so the ride was really really shiok!!!
arigato to the organisers of this outing!!! it was fabulous!!! (^0^)b

anyways, rewind a bit. before meeting them at orchard for this outing, huimin accompanied me all the way!!! (^3^) yuxin was supposed to meet me for dinner in town but she couldn't make it in the end. and huimin who was about to go home after shopping for mel's birthday present, stayed with me until the meeting time!! and of cos time for her to rush home for america's next top model too. but really really arigato gozaimasu!! (^3^) love your company tjan!!!
