Haunted Apartment blocks?

Someone forwarded me an email just now which contained a security camera video clip. There was a recording of a lady, in office clothes in her 20s walking down a corridor. Nothing unusual there until she turned left abruptedly and walked right through a wall! The title of the clip was clerkghost.wmv, so out of curiousity, I decided to google the word clerk ghost. Nothing exciting turned up, so I decided to google the word 'Genting ghost' instead.

Alot of blog sites and discussion threads popped up and I was going through a couple of them and one in particular was quite interesting and I decided to stay a while and read on. Alot of interesting stories were shared inside on ghost in genting highlands, especially the apartment called Ria almost at the peak with its many incidents and occurances. Here is my short story (which I also shared in the website http://www.spookycorner.com/, enjoy!

I would like to share a funny incident which happened to me many years back in the Ria apartments.

It was way back in 2001, sometime in July to August. During that time I was working in a small IT distribution company in Mid Valley, KL. Since all the colleagues were predominantly Chinese and very close to each other, we always plan trips together either for lunch or dinner right down to overnight trips to Genting Highlands, which we enjoy very much because of the cool breeze and relaxing atmosphere.

On one particular weekend, we decided to go up to Genting Highlands for an apartment stay. There were around 8 of us, 5 guys and 3 gals. We drove up in separate cars and met at Ria Apartments. There were a lot of agents downstairs ready to rent out rooms for guests around so we got hold of one and got a unit. It was a high floor (can’t remember which floor it was) selangor side.

That evening we had a good dinner and all went back early to the apartment to enjoy the company of each other and play cards. As the 2 blocks face each other, we decided to play a game, we wanted to see which block looked creepier than others. So we started looking randomly at the individual units there.

All of a sudden, we saw a unit about 2-3 floors above us on the Pahang side with only a lamp on (warm yellow light illuminating the whole unit (I’m not sure if it’s the hall or bedroom) so it looks quite bright. The curtain was open quite wide so we could clearly see what was going on inside. There was a young couple inside the unit playing catch with each other. The girl would run around in the room and the guy would try to catch her. The girl runs to the window sill and the eerie part is, she would look directly at us and wave frantically. Then finally the guy catches the girl and they would fall down on a sofa or a bed and the girl could be seen struggling with the guy a bit and within a few seconds, the scene repeats itself again in exactly the same manner.


This went on for a good 1-2 hours or so, all of us guys were in the hall in our unit witnessing the whole incident. We were excited at first, as we got to see some ‘action’ for the night, since we were with colleagues and wouldn’t be getting any and the girls were chatting with each other in the room. Getting bored of the incident happening opposite our unit, we decided to watch some tv, have some drinks and play cards, occasionally we would catch a glimpse of the unit above us and like a youtube recording, it keeps replaying itself.

The next day we woke up and went to the window sill to see if the couple was still playing catch with each other and guess what we saw? We saw that the unit looked like it had been abandoned for years, the windows were all boarded in and there was no way anyone could look inside from the opposite direction.

I will never forget that incident.

I can see clearly now that the rain is gone!

Its december again. Looks like it's a wrap for a great year. What a year 2007 was eh? As for me, I had experienced so many things in 1 year which I had previously not in the last, say 20-30 yrs or so.

A new job, moving to a new place, getting a chance at a fresh new start in life with new friends, new surroundings and new decisions. No doubt the results of all my old decisions will keep coming back to haunt me right through the new year and many new years beyond that, I am still thankful that I am still here and able to count my blessings in person.

So whats currently going on in my life? Financially, still unstable as heck, waiting, like everyone else for a miracle or someone to drop a bag of gold coins from the sky directly on top of my head. Or better still striking it rich with a Big Sweep ticket and never having to work another day of my life. If you wish to know, yes, I do stand in line at the Magnum, Toto, Damacai outlets like everyone else for my weekly dose of number betting. And like everyone else, hoping that someday it would be my turn to jump up and down shouting like a mad cow.

In terms of religion... erm.. religion... I prefer to call it 'spiritually' I guess spiritually I am well balanced. Yeah, not imbalanced to the faithless yet not imbalanced to the extremely religious. Well balanced in a sense I have a faith I profess to. Do you notice I try my best not to mention the word religion? In itself, it's a sensitive thing, sensitive enough to humans to kill other humans. So I better leave it at that.

Professionally, well work wise, I guess I am sailing along smoothly. With 6 months into my new job, I am like people say 'Getting with the program and feeling flexible'. In other words, 'getting extremely comfortable in my comfort zone'. Good or bad, it depends on what my priorities are at the moment. At the moment, my priorities are getting with the program and feeling flexible. Sounds simple enough? That said, I must say that one of my new year's resolutions should be to break free from my comfort zone and explore more creative and better ways to optimize my earning potential and plan way ahead into the future.

Mentally, I don't mind the grind. The 9-6 is fine with me plus the occasional stress binges. The irritating boss is slowly becoming part of my everyday routine. The situation is best explained like this: If your neighbour has a dog which barks all day long, at first you would get irritated and think of 1001 ways how to kill your neighbour's dog or its owner or both. Then slowly you learn to live with it. Then one day you realize that you have been listening to that darn dog bark for the last 3 years yet not feel anything. It has already became background noise to you and your brain, being the magnificient super computer it is, has managed to filter all the noise out.

Socially (or more like romantically), i must admit that nothing much has been going on in this part of my life. 2 of my cousins got married this month, and another already announcing her engagement, family members have been asking me the unavoidable question. When? To the family members reading this, I wanna tell you this, I ask this question too, almost everyday. So you will know when I know, kapish? The story so far is, I have been seeing someone recently. I don't know what the outcome is yet by far but the all the signs look quite promising. I have just known her for about a month only. I have already expressed my 'intentions' to become more than friends already (which took me quite abit of courage to do so), right now it's up to her to decide if it's worth it to be with me or not.

What I can say and observe about whats going on is, it started off on the right foot. Everything is going along smoothly, before this i seldom talk on the phone more than 10 minutes but now I find myself talking to her for 30 mins, 1 hour and some times even 1 and a half hours till maxis mandatorily cut our conversation short at exactly 1:30:00

Overall, I'm quite upbeat and positive about life at the moment as everything is sailing along smoothly after the 'storm' for the last 3 years. I can confidently say that I can see clearly now that the rain is gone. I hope my uptrend remains on it's course and even if it doesn't I will be there at the helm to do 'correction' and be the captain of my own ship. Welcome to my destiny!
