my first time exploring jungle

It was my first time exploring the jungle in Kedah, and the excitement was hard to contain. me and my group of friends had decided to venture deep into the forest, a place i had heard stories about since i was young. The sun was just rising, casting a golden light through the trees, and the air was fresh with the scent of earth and leaves.

As we stepped into the jungle, the sounds of birds and insects greeted us. The path was narrow, covered with fallen leaves, and sometimes the roots of large trees poked through the ground, forcing us to watch your step. You could hear the distant rush of a stream, but it was hidden somewhere deep within the thick foliage. Every so often, we’d spot a monkey swinging from tree to tree, or a squirrel darting up a trunk.

The deeper we went, the more the jungle seemed to come alive. The towering trees blocked out most of the sunlight, making the air cooler and more mysterious. At one point, we stumbled upon a hidden waterfall, the water sparkling as it cascaded down the rocks. It was like finding a hidden gem in the heart of the jungle. we took a break, listening to the soothing sound of the water and the hum of the jungle around us.

As the day wore on, i felt a sense of connection to the wilderness. The jungle was alive in ways i had never imagined. Every sound, every sight had its place, and i couldn’t help but feel a deep respect for the land. By the time we made our way back, we knew this wouldn’t be the last time we explored the jungles of Kedah. The adventure had only just begun.

first time i got stung by a catfish

One day, i decided to go fishing at a river near my village in Kedah. The weather was perfect, with a bright blue sky and a gentle breeze. You were extra excited because today, you were aiming to catch a catfish, the kind that often lurked in the river's depths.

i brought all my gear. fishing rod, bait, and even a container for your catch. In your mind, i were thinking, "If I catch a catfish, we can have a great meal tonight." i cast my line and waited patiently. Before long, my rod started to twitch, a clear sign that something had bitten the bait. i reeled it in with excitement, and there it was a big catfish hooked on the line!

Thrilled with my catch, i pulled it up, but i didn’t quite know the proper way to handle a catfish yet. i grabbed it with my bare hands, not realizing it had sharp spines on its fins. Suddenly, snap! The fish flailed, and one of its spines jabbed right into my hand. The sharp pain shot through you instantly, and for a moment, you froze, not sure what had just happened. a few moments later my hands started to swell. i ran home to get my father's help. when i got home, my hand starts to feel so painful. like it was chopped off.

my father saw me from inside the house and he pullde me inside and starts sucking on the place that i got stung.

my first encounter with a ghost

i remember when i was 14 years old, i went to my grandfather's house to visit him. the town that my grandfather lives in are pretty secluded, making it hard to reach sometimes. majority of the people that lives there is around 45 to 60 years old. there's a rumor there about the saka of a bomoh went berserk after her owner's death, searching for a new master. i went there 3 days after the rumor spread. one night, a fe minutes after a huge dinner with my grandparents and my family, i felt like i want to take a dump so i asked my grandfather if the toilet that's inside the house is working. my grandfather tell me that the toilet inside the house can't be used because the flush isn't working so i have to use the one's outside. i went there by myself, with nothing but a lantern. after i'm done taking a dump, i heard something that sounds like a banana tree collapsing inside my grandfather's farm. i went to check on it. when i got there, the first thing i smell was a strong smell of jasmine. i walked around to find that collapsed tree. when i found it, there';s not only a collapse banana tree, there's also a huge woman like figure wearing a white cloth. her nails are long. her hair was very messy and long, it covers her whole face. when i saw her, i was so shocked that i fell down. it was like i was paralysed, i cant take my eyes off that thing. i kept looking at her. all of the sudden she levitated and flew away. i fainted right after she flew away. or so i thought. the only thing i remembered is when my grandfather woke me up un the living room. he said that i was possessed. my grandfather told me everything that happens when i was possessed, but i'll save it for another story.
