freaking weird

Wednesday, August 17, 2005
I'm still recuperating from a terrifying trauma. The weirdest thing happened 10 minutes ago. KC's mobile rang and the caller id showed my company's number. On normal nights when I work late that phenomenon wouldn't qualify as something worth mentioning. But. KC picked me up from work half an hour ago and I was the last to leave.

KC and I looked at each other while the phone continued ringing. My thoughts during the few moments of shock was "why the fuck do you have to set this fugly ringing tone for my company's number?"... Finally the phone stopped ringing. We were still speechless. Then it rang again.

Fuck.
This.
Shit.
Is.
Weird.

I squealed and dove into my bed covers as KC thrusted the mobile into my face and wheezed "answer it" over and over again. No fucking way. I've seen my fair share of freaky Japanese and Korean horror flicks surrounding mobile phones ringing when it shouldn't.

When the ringing finally stopped for the second time (and I've switched off both my mobiles), we started calling my colleagues and asked if anyone came back to the office after I left. Everyone was home. I even asked Big Boss to call the office to see if someone's there. No. Zilch. Takde.

Today is the 14th of the 7th lunar month. What the Chinese call Ghost Festival. Bizarre crap doesn't get weirder than this. KC refused to discuss the incident.

I think I'm going to poo green crap from fright.

something similar happened to my flatmate while she was at her office.

she went back to work the previous saturday with her colleague when halfway through her work, her cellphone rang. the number that showed belong to said colleague who was just seated a couple of tables away and whose phone was inside her handbag which was on the table. she didn't answer it the first time so it rang a second time. she answered it(!) whilst staring at her colleague (both equally stupefied by the bizarre incident). whoever on the other end didn't utter a single word though.

damn freaky sial!
