The Ghost of University Malaya

   November 1, 2009  26 Comments on The Ghost of University Malaya

During the times when we were courting, Azman and I used to go out until late at night. Astaghfirullahalazim! Maksiat Tsk tsk tsk! I was staying in the First College, University of Malaya ( UM- rank 180 in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) – QS World University Rankings 2009, motipp bagi statistic??) and he used to fetch me there, take me out to dinner and stuff and then send me back to my residential college in time for me to catch up on my assignments and notes beauty sleep.

I remember the latest that I would reach First was about 2.30am. We probably watched a midnight movie then and I cannot remember if I have ever gone out later than that. You see Azman had to work the next day and I had to ponteng my class. So it’s important that we get some sleep asap!

If you are familiar with UM, you would be able to imagine this route – enter UM from KL Gate, stop at First College, then make the big turn to KL Gate again pass the Engineering Fac, library, Science Fac, Bangunan Peperiksaan and DTC.

Between the library and Bangunan Peperiksaan, there’s a bend on the road of which one side, Chemistry Dept is situated and a parking lot is on the other.

A mysterious woman in flowy white dress, unruly long black hair and flashing thick make up waved Azman to stop there. Not once but several times. At the same spot, in the same boring long white baju (skinny jeans was already in fashion then), same big hair and in exactly the same way ( she would cross the road from Chemisty Dept to the parking lot, then turn and waved to him like my then-boyfriend was some kinda teksi sapu driver…)

Funny thing is, when Azman told the story to me he was totally convinced that A GIRL STUDENT WAS TRYING TO GET A LIFT IN HIS CAR! Gang rape cases was on the news at that time and Azman the blur case was going.. “Owhh, no wonder there are such cases just look at the girls these days….!”

Then I tore my own hair off with frustration and went “ITU BUKAN ORANG LAAA ITU HANTUUUUUU!!!”

Then he went “ Eh ye ke?”

Itulah masa kecik-kecik baca Gila-Gila, tengok macam aku, baca Tamar Jalis, sekilas bohsia melintas aku tahu hantu ke student!

I was pretty sentapz kay?!! with the fact that he was associating such a sleazy act of a girl menahan kereta jantan memalam buta dengan budak-budak student! Hello I was a student too at that time and my boyfriend aka HIMSELF picked me up from the college ok? Ada ke main tahan-tahan kereta? Ingat ini Unity College International ke student/pensyarah nya perangai cam bohsia! Ops!

I was really astonished with him at that time, like dude how could you NOT see it? The lonely quiet night, the flowing hair, the WHITE DRESS!!? The same consistency in location and time? 2.30am in the morning? Why not eight oclock or six oclock or when he was driving with Miss Girlfriend aka ME? (eehhh dengan hantu pon nak jeles ker?).

When asked about the way her face looked, Azman described her as wearing thick red lipstick. I sure slapped my dongga head up hard coz dude, long hair, long dress and red lipstick? That’s Akademi Fantasia lah! You sure it wasn’t red fresh blood dripping from a fanged mouth? Tenenenenggggg tenenenengggg (twilight zone soundtrack on the background).

This happened many years ago and yesterday on Halloween I thought about it again. Kinda make me wonder how many ghosts we could have came across thinking that they are funky hair stylist from Sg Wang instead of evil spirits. Have you ever wondered too?
