ytd was a really fun day.. =D well, let me recall wat happened ytd... skipped L&R lec cos i was really tired and couldnt wake up.. went for BESE, took lots of notes.. BESE always has so many notes to copy.. zzz.. anyways, had fun during APEL.. ahhaha.. arm wrestling sia.. lolx..
after APEL, went to Chinatown wif dear cos going to some KTV to sing song.. met zh at mrt station den walked to Ten Dollar Club.. e ppl present were wen, moona (xin ru), dear, me, zh, db and van.. haha 7 ppl in total.. and hor, e KTV dere very cheap lorx.. $10 for 2pm - 7pm, free flow of drinks n a bowl of "shark fin" soup~shiok lorx.. haha
after dat, dear went off for CYA , zh and me went off early to go NP.. SPI (Society of Paranormal Investigators) outing~ so so so so so cool la!!! well, e 1st location we went to was Parsi Cemetery..
Parsi: A Parsi is a member of the close-knit Zoroastrian community based primarily in India and Pakistan. Although the Parsis of India originally emigrated from Persia, they no longer have social or familial ties to Persians, and do not share language or recent history with them. Over the centuries since the first Zoroastrians arrived in India, the Parsis have integrated themselves into Indian society while simultaneously maintaining their own distinct customs and traditions. This in turn has given the Parsi community a rather peculiar standing - they are Indians in terms of national affiliation, language and history, but not typically Indian in terms of consanguinity or cultural, behavioural and religious practices. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsi )
Furthermore, the way the Parsis bury their deceased is different from other religions. According to Wisely (from SPI), as the Parsis view fire and earth as something holy, they do not bury or cremate the deceased.. instead, in their own country, the Parsis leave the dead bodies out in the open to allow vultures to feed on them..
Vultures: Vultures are scavenging birds, feeding mostly on the carcasses of dead animals. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulture )
anyway, in singapore, there is only lyk approximately 200 ppl who are Parsi.. and dat's lyk a really small no.. and as dere's no vultures in singapore, or rather, vultures are not flying ard freely in singapore, the Parsi place the dead in a cement casket, and place dem on the ground, thus not burying or cremating the dead.. the Parsis are devout to their religion thus they dun smoke.. as in 100% of dem are non-smokers.. dat's wat Wisely said.. it's a pity i couldnt take any pic of the Parsi cemetery.. cos it was too dark.. =x it was really interesting though..
den went to some hill.. lolx.. i forgot e place le.. >.<>
we were told dat when SPI went to investigate, dey saw a black figure walking ard the make-shift shrine but when dey video-ed it, dere wasnt anything.. but dey were positive dey saw sth and smelt something rotting.. creepy~ anyway, dere's nth much dere la..
den went to Shell station for a little break and i bought dis sweet.. i love e red colored ones.. =) yum~ after dat, we went to Chua Chu Kang Cemetery.. now dat's fun!! =D cos we really got to walk ard e cemetery.. haha! anyways, Wisely showed us dis gravestone dat's really special.. dere's a lion on top of the headstone.. and it's juz weird.. this is e grave of Mr Hu, from Teochew.. and the grave is situated at a really big area.. so Wisely said dere's a legend saying dat actually, e grave houses the Hu family.. dat dere's actually 7 bodies underneath e grave.. legend has it dat e family died in a fire at their mansion.. and Mr Hu's name, being e eldest (dere's a possibility he's 97 when he died), was being engraved on the headstone thus representing the 7 members of the family who died.. i forgot if it's 6 or 7.. i think it's 7 though.. lolx.. here's a pic of the grave:
after dat, we went further into the cemetery.. den Wisely went off to prepare for an experiment.. so Uranium took over and told us abt some myths abt e cemetery and abt past experiences and experiments dere.. some were really creepy but really interesting.. cos it showed dat paranormal really DO exist.. and some really cant be explained by science.. how cool rite..
dey got 4 volunteers to go try to "attract" the spirits.. for those who've watched The Eye 10, dey'll noe dere's dis one scence whereby the actors were knocking the bowls wif chopsticks.. well.. we tried dat.. =D den while e 4 volunteers were doing the experiment, e rest of us went exploring cos we heard chanting.. but we could find e exact location of e source of the chanting.. some claimed dat it came from a hut some distance away but i beg to differ.. lolx.. den we went back to find e 4 vilunteers, Wisely did a closing ritual and we took some photos.. here's e pic of the experiment:
we took some pic while Wisely was doing e closing ritual.. den we boarded e bus and off we went back to Clementi mrt station.. on e ride back, e 4 volunteers shared wif us their experiences.. dey were spilt into 3 groups.. e 1st group were given candle and food.. so while dey were knocking on e bowls, dey saw e ashes opposite dem started glowing, almost lyk it's going to light up.. and dere's smoke and it's drifting towards dem..
e 2nd group consist of only one guy.. he claimed dat he heard moaning... and e last guy, from e 3rd group, did not experience anything cos he was juz hitting e bowl without any offerings.. keke.. it was fun but tiring.. sk and zh went to dis trip too.. and throughout e whole trip, dey took care of me.. =D and i trust dem to take care of me.. haha.. cos dey are my gors and will protect me.. =)
well, for today, dere's IG meeting in e morning.. den mentoring.. had a splitting headache so went off mentoring early and slept through e headache.. so i didnt pay much attention to dear today cos i was too tired.. =x sorry dear..
