Hantu Semantan

a true story

A hantu (ghost) was sighted along Jalan Semantan in Damansara Heights two days ago not far from Wisma UOA on a rainy evening between 6:15pm to 7:00pm. The ghost was reportedly gliding down the road and crossing Jalan Semantan to some destination we did not know where. When she was spotted near ESSO, a few good citizens of Jalan Semantan/ESSO shouted "HANTU!!!" to warn their friends nearby. However, the warning did not work. The hantu turned to them, waved a little, smiled a little and glided on to oblivion. Some people even said that she laughed hysterically.

She's white. And no, she's not a caucasian. She's white as in she was wearing a BIG, SQUARE and WHITE (believe it or not...) RAINCOAT (play horror music here and "aaargggghhhh..."). The hantu was none other than my homey, Jacques*.

i was sotong-ed

A day after that (yesterday), I was at my University to get something done. I needed to get my results certified. Alas, no lecturers were around because everyone was either at some induction course or meeting or on leave BUT one lecturer. Her initial's NST and it's not New Straits Times, mind you. It rhymes with a type of seafood - SQUID in Malay (translation: SOTONG). She was free and she was on the phone. I entered her room when she finished her conversation. I asked her to do me a favour (certify my results) and this was how it went:

NST: Aiya... I'm busy la. Can't you see? No... No.
(She said all those without looking at me. I was dumbfounded.)

CF: It's just a stamp on the paper and sign it.
NST: No, no. I'm busy.
(Guess what? She was sitting with her back facing me, counting money)

She can't even spare less than a minute to stamp my results and sign it. To make matters worse, she was the lecturer that deducted 10 marks from my 1st tutorial because my DAY (Mon, Tues...) was DATE (dd/mm/yy) on the front cover. If only I have some SQUIDs with me. I'll smack her face with them. MALAYSIA Boleh!
