Imagine this...

It's past midnight, close to 1am. You're in the rooftop parking bay of a shopping mall. Wait, correction: You're in the deserted rooftop parking bay of a closed shopping mall. Every elevator in the mall is not operating at this time of night apart from one. Unfortunately, this elevator lets you out at the other end of the parking bay. You've got a long way to walk to where your car is. Your steps are fast and big as your eyes dart from left to right.

As you pay for your ticket at the automated parking ticket counter, the voice coming out of the counter echoes around the huge empty space, simultaneously amplifying it. You walk away hastily, but can't help turning back to look at what is causing the automatic doors to slide open and close. You quicken your steps as you realize that there is nothing there - nothing that the door sensors would pick up.

In the distance, you can see your car, but that part of the parking bay seems to have bad lighting compared to the rest of the parking bay. You can only see the outline of your car from where you are. As you walk closer, it becomes clearer and you hurry towards your car, a feeling of paranoia mixed with fear creeping up on you. You quickly press the button to unlock your car, and can't help but notice how the sound of your car unlocking reverberates around the deserted parking bay. You get in and lock the doors right away, and heave a sigh of relief as you feel safe again.

Freaky? Yep. That's what happened to me y'day night (or this morning, whichever works). But it wasn't so bad b'cos Michael was there. Haha. So anyway, we watched "Twilight" y'day. The screening time was 10.45pm, so it ended about 12.45pm. It was my second time watching it. Lol. At least now most of the question marks that I was left with the first time I watched it is now answered. =)
