Wyrewolves

One night, another one of those sleepless nights, I decided that I needed a jog. Mind you this was about 2 in the morning, but hey this is Singapore right, its got a reputation as a safe place and besides i was only gonna jog around the campus, so I thot nothing about it. I set off full of sound and fury, no wait I didn't do anything like that, i just trudged along. After like halfway through I heard this blood curdling sound, it was the ominous sound of a pack of dogs doing nothing more than sinister than yelping. A pack of dogs yelping at each other might not sound very ominous to you, but let me tell when you are all alone at 2 in the morning and you have an unreasonable fear of dogs like moi then its positively hair raising. This of course brings us to another point, how the hell can NUS let packs of feral dogs roam around the campus, but thats not the story here and the dogs were in my path. Deciding not to take the risk (infinitesimal as it was) of geting bitten I retraced my steps backwards and took a path that i knew would take me to somewhere near pgpr (my hostel), trouble was that I never actually had taken that path. After some time it looked like as I had finally reached pgpr but then like it always happens the bloody place was fenced off, and to make it worse the path led to a pretty dark place and the horror of horrors there was white mist there. I tell you this sort of thing is seriously disconcerting, I steeled myself, repeating to myself "Singapore is a very safe place, nothing happens here" and then this very annoying voice inside of myself kept on saying "singapore has loads of pontianaks " and the other voice was like " there are no bloody things like pontianaks" and other such assorted crap. It turned out that the white mist was emanating from a couple of cooling towers, bloody anticlimaxes. After making my pulse rate shoot up I finally managed to return in one piece, so much for late night excitement. This just came to me, NUS is bloody too green its like as if this they put the uni in the middle of the forest, i once freaking saw a orange black spider the size of a hand in the middle of this huge web and i nearly freaking put my hand in its web, urgggh. Its too green i tell u,l i mean the place supports a pack of wild dogs, huge spiders and other freaks of nature, oh wait thats just the students here, sigh.
