Russell Lee

Well, as we all know, Russell Lee came to visit our school today, to promote his book: Singapore True Ghost Stories. A pity that I was unable to attend his talk due to the Math remedial but haplessly managed to catch a glimpse of him when I had to go into library to do my history project. Bliss in disguise, is what I would call it.

Of course, I didn't went gaga over him, I mean, who would? He was quite mysterious, okay, not quite mysterious, but VERY mysteious with his god-knows-how-many-layers of clothings, hat and some sock-liked thing that covers up his face! And When I say face, I meant the WHOLE entire face. You can't see any of his features, except for height and body build; with very inaccurate estimation.

Why did he even dressed up like that? To create a sense of mysteriousness? So that his indentity won't be revealed? Or is it because that he's disfigured due to his work? Or even that he's not a.... human? I doubt that the latter would be correct, but still, there's a possibility right? Thinking about him just sends shivers down my spine,

Anyway, I was thinking, does he felt warm in that outfit? Then again, I believed that he wore that same outfit over and over again when he goes for public appearances. So he should be used to it. One more thing, how much does he earn per month? Doesn't seem to be alot due to the fact that he's a storywriter. One thing that halts my dream of becoming an author, not that I want to be one anyway, my imaginations are cliche and limited.

So, on my way home, I met one of my friends, muslimin, and he gave me a bookmark-sized card and told me to keep it. You know, seeing that he was in a rush, I took it and walked home with my friends. And guess what's the content of that little slip my friend gave me? It says..

Well, I was thinking of sending my previous post, "ALARM CLOCK!?!". but then again, is it even considered as a ghost story? I mean, it's just a dream. Do I have to edit the details? I won't be alive if it ain't a dream. Flesh being dug out from the back- lost of blood. Squeezed tightly- suffocation. Oh never mind, all I had to do, is to "see first".
