Creepy moments

Top 3 creepy moments (in descending order)

#3: Kapok trees at Ta Prohm

Don't you think the long entwining roots resemble pythons coiled around one another? *shivers*

Fearless girls who ain't scared of no trees!


#2: Gloomy Bayon

We visited Bayon shortly after sunrise. The dark hallways and faded bas-reliefs gave the temple a creepy appeal. When it started raining, we had no choice but to seek shelter in one of the gloomy hallway. Hope we were not trespassing....

#1: "Haunted" hotel room

This is almost unimaginable, as we stayed at a highly-acclaimed 5-star hotel. It happened on our first night. As we were out the whole afternoon, we only managed to check-in after dinner at 8+. What greeted us when we entered our room was a black-and-white picture of an Apsara (female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology) dancer. And she certainly didn't look too pleased.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by bangings on the ceiling and chair screeching across the floor. As I was darn tired, I cursed our neighbours upstairs briefly for creating such a din in the middle of the night, and dropped right back into slumberland.

Next morning, Lynn asked me whether I heard any noise last night. Told her I did, but was so pissed tired I didn't pay much heed to it. She acknowledged she did too, but she was sober enough to walk out of the room to investigate.

And she realised that our room was already on the highest level.


With that, we immediately requested for a change of room.
