Finished work at around 11.15pm at cineleisure and made my way back via mrt. (Sidenote: At Cityhall mrt station, the door didnt open for the passengers for a whole 3 minutes although it already stopped) I walked back home after taking a bus at pasir ris bus interchange. Didnt realize today (after 12am liao) was the start of the 7th month until i saw people lining at the pavement, already offering incense and food to the hungry souls from hell. The smell was terrible...reached my lobby and...... that was where it all happened.

Let me first brief abit of the floor plan of my lobby. There are two elevators, left and right. My flat is relatively new, therefore, there are actually two transparent windows on each side of the two sliding doors that slides open when someone is near. Guess there is a sensor or sth.

Anway, back to the story. I pressed the button for the lift on the right elevator. Checked my time. "12.16am". Waited for awhile before the elevator on the left arrived and, abit disgruntled, as i was tired and the lift just have to play that trick and lemme walk that extra few metres, i walk towards it.

When i got inside. I felt a sudden pang of absolute uneasiness. The feeling of being engulfed in the small square space of the elevator was overwhelming. Bare in mind i am NOT a claustrophobic. The hair and the back of neck was standing on end and i dunno why. Thinking that i might have been abit unsettled by the sights of ppl offering incense, i thought nth of it. What happen next seemed like forever. So slow that i seemed to remember every single second of it.

I pressed "3". It did not light up.

Tried again... still didnt.

Feeling a tad impatient and very annoyed...i pressed no "3" a few times at once.

No. 7 lighted up.

The door begins to close...slowly.

"Strange"...i thought. Just then...

"hee..hee...". The tinest of giggle, somewat like a child, no more den a second, above my head. My heart skipped a beat and I freezed...Door was 1/4 closed.

"hee..hee...". Again...behind me this time...door...1/2 closed. My eyes already in a state of shock. Heart thumping like mad.

"hee...". behind my legs. My jeans seemed to be moved. As if sth brushed past it. door 3/4 closed.

With that motion of movement. I pushed the door open slightly so fast, breaking cold sweat and clamoured out of the elevator in a hurry, squeezing thru the tight gap.

The door behind me closed with a subtle "Glom.."...

I turn ard, heart still thumping. The lift was already moving up. However, thru that two transparent windows...the lights inside that elevator flickered...and for a moment or two when the light was bright in dere...i thought i saw a silhoette rise up frm the floor, at the beginning of the bottom of the left window. A hint of hair. Then..gone.

I freezed for just a sec and when rush up the staircase to the third floor. And ran towards my front door which is juz beside the lobby. The panel on top of the left elevator door was...

"1st Floor"
