Trouble night ...

Refering to Ms yling's comment on finding inspiration from my siblings to blog ... I like to dedicate this post to my dearest, youngest, sister, J.

I had a hard time falling asleep last night (or rather this morning, close to 2am) given that I was troubled with emotional woes. Not wanting my imagination to run amok in the dead of the night, I kept playing the music track on my mobilephone out loud to snuff out the silence (it's the 7th month! for goodness' sake!)

Don't worry ... Nothing happen.

Finally I guess after 30 - 45 mins I grew drowsy and shut down to hibernation.

I don't know if I'm dreaming or just at the edge of semi-conscious, I see myself lying on my bed in my bedroom (agrhhh... I hate having this kind of dream!).

Then I started hearing this squeaking noise. The sound of my bedhead moving slightly as if someone's tossing. The thing that freaked me out is the sound is coming from the right side of the queen sized bed and I was sleeping alone on the left.

In this state of dreaming or unconsciousness, I was paralysed. I was not able to sit up or even scream. The only thing I could do is turn my head from side to side.

I could see from that there are nobody else in the room and the side of the bed beside me is empty.

I was abit freaked out but mostly pissed off cos I finally fell asleep and then was disturbed.

In my anger, I reached out my right hand to grope the bed. Amazingly I was able to move my hand up to the wrist.

I used two fingers to instinctly gripped an apparently wrist and I sort of see a outline of someone and it become invisible again. Then I squeezed harder and then it appeared again in sort semi-see through like jellyfish material a slim figure.

Now I was totally freaked out. But I was not determine to just lie there and let 'it' disturb my sleep or attack me undefence.

So I squeezed with my fingers as hard I can till I can see the apparition appearing in and out then suddenly I woke up! I was lying stiffly on my side of the bed with my right wrist lock in on my side.

I was so freaked out and the same time so tired but I was determind not to fall back to sleep least I was 'attacked'. I laid back in bed afraid to move, forcing myself to stay awake.

But I was so sleepy! After much contemplation, I decided to call my dearest, youngest, sister, J, from my mobilephone.. and ask her to come up and accompany me. It is already 2.55am.

Funny thing is that we have a hard time waking up to our alarm clock but we spontaneously answer our mobile when it rang in the middle of the night.

"Mei - are you sleeping?"

"Yes, I'm sleeping already"

"Mei, can you come up and sleep"

"But I sleeping already"

"Please, Mei"

5 mins later or seems like even longer ... I heard my door knob twist and I opened the door for her. She went straight to the bed (ahem ..hehe.. on the left side) and proceed back to sleep. I covered her with the blanket and I laid awake for awhile. The back of her head with her massive black hair now seems strangely frightening too.

Gingerly I fell back to sleep.

Until I was awoke again by a phone call at 5.56am.

I want to thank my sister for being a great sport waking up in the middle of her beauty sleep to accompany. What can I say - that's what sibling are for!

Cheers!
