见鬼

7.20pm Saturday evening: i was early for work and the back gate to my work place would not be opened till 7.40pm. i sat on one of the stone seats of the recreation club adjacent to my work place, seeping my packet of 'kopi-o', enjoying the cooling breeze.

Soon after, a few members of the recreation club streamed out from the club towards the cars that were parked opposite to where i was seated. i did not pay much attention to them till a short while later, one of the men came over and shouted : "Hey! You! er...Miss...er..you better not sit there! It's so dark already, you know..." and he trailed off and i thought he was concerned for my safety but it sounded more like an order so i replied that i was waiting for the gate to be opened shortly and there's nothing to be worried about.

He then replied that my sitting there had scared his companions 'cos they had thought i was a ghost and repeated that i should not sit there in the dark.

What weird thoughts! It's a very common sight that my colleagues and i sit at that spot while waiting for the back gate to be opened.

"Hey you! Ladies and gentleman, you know what? i think you've really seen a ghost, and you would probably be seeing one everyday, everywhere, 'cos the ghost lives right in your heart and mind!" --before i could finish saying this to them, they have gotten into the car and left.

不是吗？心中有鬼所以把人当鬼，处处疑神疑鬼
