Me and my INVISIBLE room-mate

Although I'd closed the windows I felt like the wind was gently blowing to my face then I woke up. It was the beginning of the month of June, 2011 and the first morning at my new room that I just moved in. I'd got enough sleep and I needed to arrange my things so I had to get up from my bed. This room was a bit bigger than my previous room that I stayed about 4 months. Being a foreigner who worked in Singapore, I had to move home very often. Most of the reasons that I had to move home was owner wanted to price high when renew the contract, owner wanted to add one more person in just enough two persons room and I changed the job so I had to move nearby my work place.

          My new flat was very clean and tidy and quiet environment so I thought I'd chosen a right room. The owners were a couple with only one child and they were very friendly. They were still finding another person who needed to share with me so I could stay alone without paying for hiring one room price until they found the other person. After arranging my things for the whole morning, owner knocked the door and she said they would go out for the whole day and came back to home about 10pm and she told to me that  every week-ends they visited to their parents. Normally, I don't mind to stay alone at home and I don't like watching TV in living room and I prefer to stay in my room by searching internet while listening music from "YouTube".

          After two weeks, early morning of Sunday about 6:00am, even I woke up it was too early to get up so l liked to lay on my bed and looking at the light that came from the window at the top of my room's main door. Suddenly, I saw something like shadow jumped to me and my neck turned to left side and I couldn't open my eyes. I tried to turn my neck to the right side but I could not move at that time the wind began to blow near my left ear and I heard the voice "Mmyyyy ......Nameeee.." then I noticed that I was facing with a spirit or something like ghost that I had never met before anyway I must beat this evil who tried to break my neck. So I tried to keep my mind very strong and didn’t to listen to whatever it said by praying god at the same time trying to turn my neck to the right in order to against from it.

          Finally, I could successfully turn my neck to the right and I could open my eyes but I could not find the shadow anymore. I knew that I've beaten this evil and I found myself so strange because instead of fearing this evil I was angry with it and disappointed to find another room and fed up with moving home. My brain was very busy for thinking what to do because I'd moved to this room for only 16 days and how could I face every single night with this ghost. I made my mind clearly to think and I decided to find another place as soon as possible and to inform owner that I would move at the end of this month. 

              Fortunately, it was Sunday so I opened all the windows of my rooms and started to search the advertisement for rooms in the internet while I was listening to the music from "YouTube". I was searching the whole day and couldn't find a room near my place. It was getting dark I decided to go out for my dinner because I was alone at home and my owners usually came back home very late in week-ends. After having dinner in food court, I spent my time in the park near my flat by calling my mom and my best friend to tell about my problems and to wait my owners came back.

          When I came back from the park my owners were at home already. I had no chance to tell my owners about the ghost because their relatives were at home as well. That night, no choice I had to stay with my invisible room-mate. Fortunately, I had a good habit that never wake up at night. I kept my mind very strong and covered my whole body with the blanket even my face and tried to sleep. The ghost didn't disturb me that night but I had a dream that I was in a big house and felt that my body was so light liked someone was lifting my body. The next day, being employee I had to go for work. After coming back from work I searched the advertisements of rooms for rent again and then I'd found one room in advertisement which was near my present block and I called the number, "Aunty w..." the number was already in my phone's number list and the name is appeared. She was my parents' intimate friend, I was so happy then and told her about my problems and asked her it was possible I moved to her room as soon as possible. She said that the room she advertised for rent was still doing renovation which was her newly flat just she bought and renovation would be finish at the end of the month. So I could not stay but one thing she could help me was I could stay in a study room of her flat that she rent and now she was staying.

          At that day I'd got a chance to tell my owner. She was a nice lady she said that her husband had a night duty at his work so if I scared to sleep alone let me slept in her room. At that night also I dreamed that I was searching my medicines to take suddenly I noticed that I was in my room instead of my owner's room and when I tried to get out from my room the door was suddenly closed. Next morning, I informed to my owner that began from tonight I would go and sleep in my Aunty's flat and at the end of the month I would move all my things from her flat. My owner said that she wanted to hold half month of rental deposit because I informed her half of the month. Then, I told her that I faced with a spirit if not I also didn't want to move here and there but she said that it might be I stayed alone so I thought about the spirit and not to think about them. I let her know that I had been in nightmare every night so anyway I had to move at the end of this month then she said even though she didn't believe in ghost she appreciated my decision and she would let me know how much deposit she could refund to me when I moved from her home.  Started from that night I went and slept in my Aunty's flat peacefully. At the end of the month, my owner gave back full refund of rental deposit to me and finally I could overcome this critical situation.

          Honestly, I admit that when I get this experience I really upset and want to go back to my home town and never come to Singapore for work again. However, I tried to keep in mind that this situation was just for a while and surely I could overcome and good things were waiting for me. Then I tried to find another room to move as soon as possible instead of going back to my home town. Finally, I've got a room with a new room-mate and can stay happily in Singapore again. So from this experience I've got one thing that when we face the critical situation don't let ourselves to get depression like " how unlucky I'm", "my life is so miserable".. and find the suitable solution as soon as possible then we can overcome the critical situation. The reason why I write this blog is I like to share my experiences, the way I see "Life" and how I take my life of challenging. Thank you for reading this post see you...
