SLEEP…
One of the most important things a person should do…
I did try to sleep when I was in Kundasang…
Everyone decided to sleep downstairs…
EXCEPT ME!!!

Most of them did not want to sleep upstairs
because they did not want to climb the super steep stairs…
I didn’t want to sleep downstairs because I wanted to sleep early
but the rest of the group was still occupying the space down stairs.
Heck, someone was still watching Terminator 3 on TV.
How to sleep downstairs like that???
And so, I went upstairs to sleep…
but before I went to sleep,
I went to tell the rest “goodnight”
My uncle said “wah, you not afraid of ghost upstairs?”
I said “No”
I even told them that
“If got ghost, I’ll ask it to sleep in the bed next to me”
and with that, I went to sleep…

It was 12midnight when I woke up.
There was something that woke me up.
Realizing that there was nothing, I decided to go back to sleep…
But I just Couldn’t…
There was something amiss….
Something odd…
Something random but consistent…
It was….
THE NOISE…
It was very weird…
A Noise that would constantly repeat itself,
but when you expect it to sound,
It doesn’t…
A Noise so weird that it sounded like
a combination of
water dripping on a piece of zinc,
an insect making it’s noise,
and a nail being hammered lightly…
A Noise
with the consistency of water dripping
and the noisiness of an insect bugging
and the solidity of something solid…
For half an hour,
I couldn’t figure what the hell was that Noise…
So I gave up and moved downstairs…
So much for “I’m not afraid”…
