Incident 2 This is long and maybe ‘movie’ like but it‘s a true incident for me. YES my teens again. In my early teens, I was mixing around with a bunch of Ipoh friends who are state swimmers and we used to hang out in this club called Ipoh Swimming Club. It’s actually quite a decent club back then, with an olympic swimming pool, a few tennis court, squash courts, halls & a fine dining restaurant, like any golf club in KL but this is only for swimmers. The club was huge, it is allocated close to a jungle and as young teens as we are, sometimes we wandered too far away from the club. We knew almost all of staff in that club and one day a senior staff told us not to wander around this big tree behind the tennis courts. We asked him why but he didn’t want to tell us at first but we kept bugging him more until he finally gave in. He said, that particular big tree is actually a ‘Datuk’ tree and people goes to that tree for ‘4D’ numbers. “Empat nombor ekor.” and he also said they will sacrifice something for the tree. An animal like chicken or something. Do not play around that area or else... he told us with a warning. Infront of him we said yes, but I knew by looking at my friend’s face, they’re going to start something. Some of us do not believe it, me included and the only way to know if it’s real, is to “try”. So, what did we do? First, we decided create a 4d number of our own. Example like me, I choose number “4”, my friend Kenny chooses number “7”, Ahmad chose “1” and Chien chooses “0” The total created number is “4710” We were sitting at an outdoor cafe near the tree beside the tennis court, around maybe 4-5 kilometers away but there’s little bridge to crossed over to the tree. We waited till midnight and we went. Walked a few kilometers, crossed the bridge and we are now standing infront of the big huge tree. We went down on our knees and said...”Datuk, kita nak nombor ne 4710 boleh bagi kena 4d tak?” Nothing happen. We repeated the second time. Moments later, it begins... This is exactly what happened, all a sudden, there’s a cold breeze brushes up on our skin and a strong wind came. It started blowing the tree making the branches moving side to side, leafs began falling off. And then we heard something... “ERRHHH...HMMMM..." (like someone clearing his troat) it was not human, it sounded like growling. When we heard that, in split seconds our mind we began to clear our conscience, what the hell are we doing and thinking? We got up on our knees and took off! But we didn’t scream, we just ran. But the weird part is that when we crossed the bridge, the wind stopped. It was like normal before. We stopped running and we looked back. The tree now is surrounded by glowing RED EYES like cat’s eye when you shine at them from your car on road at night. But these are red and it’s surrounding and moving around the tree, we can’t see what it is but we can only see red eyes. Many, many pairs of red eyes. Can’t really explain this weird thing I saw but we’re looking from far away. Imagine, the tree, dark but something like “monkeys on the tree with red eyes?” We got spooked and we left the club. A few weeks later, when the incident is forgotten, after school, we decided to go to the club again. Our parents dropped us off near a friend's house which is nearby the club, we will usually lepak in his house first then walked over to the club, that’s what we normally do. While we were walking, one of our friend spotted a broken motorbike number plate on the road. Something is amiss, he pick it up and we looked. We were in shock because the numbers coincidentally are... ”4710” Yikes... but we didn’t buy any 4d, takut.
