Wednesday went by in the same old fashion ..
Life's so simple these days..I find myself barely bothering to think much..
It's funny how sometimes you crack your head thinking your problems are so complicated..
Yet when you relax and let things take their natural course..somehow things start solving themselves!
Of course this is my opinion..you don't have to agree with me hahah..but then,you could give it a try..right?
Well as I mentioned the day before,I went to the library to get some books and happened to come across these 2 books...which looked like local/asian publications..true enough they turned out to be horror stories written by a Malaysian writer...can't recall the name..one was simply titled,"Pontianak'' and the other was "Hantu" ...it had been a long time since I read this kinda stuff..so I thought what the hell..& borrowed the books.
I thought it was gonna be the same old random kinda books we have all come across before..short horror stories in somewhat bad English..but the first book I picked up was kinda interesting..
"Pontianak" actually was more like the writer's personal account of stories he had picked up from his friends over the years,and the cute part is..they even had survival tips & protection tips against these creatures of the night..the book may be titled ''Pontianak'' but besides it being the commonly feared..it went on to showcase the others,like the Hantu Raya,Pochong(Hantu Bungkus)& Jinns..the writer even provided some amusing tidbits about certain ghouls..I'm sure we wouldn't be laughing if we ever come face to face with one of the erm..creatures..but it certainly helped lighten the mood while reading!
Very interesting!
Yes..the English was not that fantastic,but it was passable & smooth to read..so for the first time in many nights I found myself staying up to flip page after page..to read about these very life like accounts..what I also liked about the book was the way the writer chose to tell his stories in a first person narrative..it made me wanna really keep listening to what else he had to say..
Well I'm sure some of you might be tsk tsking about the scattering of unholy names in this post..but c'mon lah..don't be so superstitious..it's always good to know what you're up against even if you don't necessarily wanna believe,right?
I wanted to post up some of the tips in here..but maybe I'll do that some other day..it's already past 1am and I wanna do more reading before it gets too late...erm..NOT THAT I'M SCARED ..I just wanna sleep early..hmph..
We will talk more about this topic..for those of you who are into this kinda stuff,I'm sure you'd find the tips useful,and for those of you who really don't believe in any of these creatures..that's perfectly fine..just remember..as long as there is good,there is evil..and evil takes on many,many forms.It would never hurt for one to be a little knowledgable in these things.
That's all for tonight darlings..
Au Revoir
