Something weird (and freaky) happened to me last night as I was just about to fall asleep. It was so weird and unbelievable that I couldn't even believe it myself.

Okay okay, long story short; I kena hempap. I'm not lying and I wouldn't lie about something like this. I was being disturbed by the setans, or in the other word; a ghost.

I was already about to fall asleep. The constant whirr of my ceiling fan seemed to fade away, further and further from my consciousness. I was sleeping on my left side, my whole body faced the white wall and the empty side of my bed. All of a sudden, my whole body felt numb. I felt numb. I got that weird tingly feeling up and down my body. That's when I felt like as if I was paralyzed. Completely paralyzed.

I couldn't open my eyes. I didn't want to open my eyes. I couldn't move my body, not even a slight nudge. In other words, I couldn't move any of my muscles at all. My skin felt cold and tingly, like that sensation of pins and needles, and I was utterly blur. I was halfway to Dreamland, when all of a sudden I felt that tingly thing. My heart pulsed like a thunderstorm until I could even hear my own heartbeat, loudly.

I didn't know what to do. I wanted to scream, but like I said, I was completely paralyzed. Like as if all of a sudden my whole body wasn't functioning. Hell, I didn't even feel my body. I felt like I only had a head, with no arms, no legs, no torso. Just my head. That was the only thing I could feel. I thought to myself while that happened, was I dreaming? Unfortunately, no, I wasn't dreaming. It really happened. I was actually being disturbed by a setan, bloody devil. It is completely up to you to believe it or not, but if you were there, if you were in my shoes at that time, then you'd believe me.

It lasted for a few minutes. I just lay there, paralyzed. My mind started to function badly. I started to imagine that thing standing just a few meters away from me. In my room, I have dark maroon curtains in the background and those transparent white ones in the foreground. So when it gets dark, my maroon curtains will look black and the white ones will look like...well...that thing. From where I was laying, I started to imagine that thing just in front of my curtains. But of course, I remember that I didn't see that thing. No. But I felt it. I haven't been through anything like this before. I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream like there's no tomorrow.

After a few minutes, that tingling feeling was gone. My whole body wasn't paralyzed anymore and I could move again. I recited every prayer I could think of in my head. In my head, I recited the prayers out loud until the whole world could hear me. That's when that thing got off me. But, just after I shifted so that I was laying on my right side now, the feeling came back. My skin prickled like pins and needles. It sent tingles up and down my spine. But this time, I wasn't as paralyzed as before. I still couldn't move, but at least I could feel my legs and my arms.

That thing was on top of me. I could feel it. So heavy and paralyzing, I realised. I wanted so badly to scream again, but I failed to do so. I remember feeling my hands clasp together, but I couldn't feel my skin. I knew I was clutching my hand so tightly with my long fingernails, but I didn't feel any pain...because my hands were numb. When I could move again, I still felt the tingles up and down my body. My hands reached automatically for my arms, rubbing them up and down. I didn't feel any goosebumps rising, but it was prickly. When that thing got off me, I felt so relieved that I went to sleep immediately. Now that I think of it again, it makes me sooooo angry.

It knows what you're thinking. If you're weak and scared, just like I was last night, it will attack you. But on the contrary, if you're emotionally strong, it will go away and not disturb you. That's it.

You wanna live in this damn house, go ahead. Just don't disturb me while I'm sleeping. Hell, don't even disturb me at all!

I'm mad alright. Mad just thinking about it. A few things I am certain of :

a) A satan disturbed me last night by laying on top of me, making my whole body paralyzed.
b) I was scared to death.
c) I'm not going to sleep in my room tonight.
d) IF it happens again, I swear to God I'm gonna tell that bastard to go away, even if it means like as if I'm talking to myself. Some crazy lunatic talking to herself. Ha. Ha. Ha.

I went to my school's Sports Day today. I'm not gonna say much, just that I enjoyed my day. My house team was the champion, overall. After so many years of getting either third or the last place, we finally won the title, "Champion"! We were the ones who collected the most points, a total of one thousand six hundred something. Woo! We cheered like there's no tomorrow. Everyone screamed and jumped up and down with joy and pride, so loudly that I couldn't feel my eardrums anymore. Just when I thought that we would lose again this year...sigh. We won! Wooooot!

As I got home from the stadium, I can honestly say that I stank. Really bad. A combination of sweat and perfume. Oh yeah. The sweet smell of success. HAHA. But after showering, I didn't stink at all. I smelt like a baby's skin and my hair smelt like roses. Oh yeaaaah.

I told my sister over lunch about what I've been through last night. She's had the same thing happen to her, too. Twice. The first time, she handled the situation just like I did, or any other human being would. She just sat there, paralyzed, and recited a few prayers. The second time happened to her last year, when she was badly sick. She got so agitated that she grumbled, and that thing went away. When she could feel herself again, she got up and actually challenged that thing to show up. But of course, it didn't show up. Probably scared, in spite of my sister having long black hair that night, with red bloodshot eyes and an angry expression. Woo. Maybe I should do that, too, if it happens to me again, which I hope it won't. Because, really, this isn't something you'd want to experience in your life. Not now, not later, not ever.

I can only pray and beg to God to shelter me from these satans. I never ever want this thing to happen to me again, and the most I can do is to rely on God to help protect me from these things. Allahu akbar, tolong lah aku!
