Singapore Ghost Story‏ ~

When I was young, I lived in a deserted kampong deep in the
jungle. Every night, my mother would ask me not to go home
too late as there won't be any transportation after a
certain time.

One night, before going home, I ta bao a kueh teow soup for
supper. I was late and I waited for the taxi/bus but there
was none. I was getting worried as the night was getting
darker and darker. So I tried to flag down private vehicles
to take me home.

There was no one stopping for me, till one motorcyclist took
compensation on me and stopped to give me a lift. He was a
man with a kind face. I accepted his offer and got onto his
motorbike.

On the way home, we would pass by a temple. At night, the
temple would look eerily spooky with the dim lights from the
candles.

At first,
the motorcyclist was warm and friendly. When the temple was
approaching, the motorcyclist eyes grown bigger and bigger.
His kind face turned to a face of anger. He was muttering
something loud but was not audible to me. I was so scared
that I closed my eyes in order not to see his angry face.

Then, the motorcyclist stopped in front of the temple and
then yelled at me.

"Your kueh teow soup is so hot!! It is burning my thigh! Can
you please move it away???"
