It was a Saturday night and we were just done with a scrumptous BBQ dinner at marc residence, somewhere nearby KLCC. I was driving tentatively while she was yakking away like usual when she suddenly mentioned about how dangerous it was for those bunch of guys to be sitting on the shoulder of the road as I made a turning into Jalan Tun Razak.
Out of curiousity, I had a quick glance at the direction pointed out by Jacklyn but much to my surprise, I saw absolutely no one, kosong, zero, sebiji pun takde, yi-lek.
So I brushed it off as a case of blurry eyes due to tiredness and half-asleepness as we are all aware of the incredible ability of Jacklyn being able to fall sleep no matter where, no matter when, no matter how in the quickest manner. Champion. But of course, being herself, she insisted on seeing those fellas and blamed me for not trusting her all the time, double champion. Of course, things didn't end just like that.
Passing Loke Yew just after Taman Pertama, once again Jacklyn motioned for me to look at towards the middle of the highway where an old man is supposingly to be sitting in the column seperating the to and fro lanes. Needless to say, I saw nothing at all, nothing beside, on my side mirror, on my rear view mirror, not even in front of me but this time around, a thought suddenly strucked me.
In the chinese calendar, this is still the month where spirits can wonder freely around us, right? Coupled with the fact that there's not much occurance or even none, where you chance upon individuals or groups squatting/sitting on shoulders and columns of roads/highways, among the trees and bushes, right? Makes me wonder.
Truth to be told, I think I scared the *insert body organs or parts of choice* out of her upon sharing the above opinion on her sightings. Sigh, me and my big mouth, I ended up spending the rest of the night keeping her company. Not only that, she kept me occupied with the task of verifying her sightings of single individuals by the roadside throughout all the subsequent journey that night *pengsan terus*.
