not very believable, i guess, and i was really saving it up for halloween, but what the heck....now my place is quite near a forest full of monkeys and they tend to rummage our trash and make a mess. it was a few months ago, sometime after magrhib, i was gonna go out and do some errands for the 'rents. it was nearly dark, but seeable. at the time, our gardener was cleaning up. i reached for the car, and i heard a "shoo! shoo!". turns out it was my neighbour next door, an old man. he was looking thru a barred window, in quite a dark room. i looked at him and said to me "tu ambuk ah kacau sampah kita ah!" and i exchanged a few words with him for awhile. and out of kindness as i didn't wanna get an old man too excited over nothing, i turned around, took a few steps forward near to the trash to scare them away. i turned back, and the old wasn't there.
so i thought, hey, he must've lied down or something. as reached for my car, our gardener gave me this weird look, along with the granny next door (the same house the old man lives) who was out burning some leaves at the time.
then i remembered; the last few years when i visited the house during raya, the only people there were the granny, her son, and at times, her granddaughter. i forgotten the man of the house passed away around 6 years ago.
