This incident happens to me back in 1999 at a Bedok North void deck. During the December school holidays, I would hang out at the void deck with my neighbourhood friends till 6 in the morning. However, on this one particular night, things turned out to be tad strange. To start with, none of my friends were at the usual hanging out spot that night.Then, only one of my friends turned up.I reckoned the rest would come by later so we sat around and chatted.

At about 2.30 am, both of us heard a soft hollering voice coming from the nearby carpark..It was calling my friend’s name for several times. We just ignored it thinking it could be the rest of the gang trying to be funny. However, it wasn’t them coz they did not appear after that 20 mins…Shortly after that we saw this lady jogging passed us at the void deck. Trailing her was this loud and distinct ‘quack!quack!’ sound. I think it could be geese or ducks. It was weird how the noise could coincide with her presence there. The timing was impeccable.

The lady wasn’t scary looking. She was in her late 20’s, fair-skinned and kinda pretty too. I thought she looked more Japanese than local.Only thing is why would she wanna jog alone at 3am? and, who the hell jog at void decks?? And ermm where those quacking sounds come from (I dun live in a farm ok)

Another thing to take note was our reaction to the incident. I was known to be the most timid one while my friend was deemed to be one of the bravest in our group of friends. That night, there was some sort of reversal. He was pale and must have been scared shit. As for me, I was still able to pull a smile while I lifted up my long sleeves to show him the ‘standing hairs’ on my arm. It was strange how those hair stood up automatically as I wasn’t even an inch scared.Anyway, my friend hurriedly took his bike and scrambled home and never talked about this incident ever to anyone. Whenever I tell this story to the rest, he refused to elaborate on it..
