Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to another episode of Genesis thank you
Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 1: celebrating Chinese New Year, it is a rather stressful period
Speaker 1: because everyone is so busy trying to get ready for
Speaker 1: the festive season. I am very busy during this period
Speaker 1: are at an all time high, because it is Chinese
Speaker 1: New Year because I just.
Speaker 1: But hey, I'm trying to make my money worth, you know,
Speaker 1: if I pay this amount of money for my tuition fees, right?
Speaker 1: Then I might as well take more modules, right? Then
Speaker 1: I learn more things. That's the speaking. So, yeah. This
Speaker 1: is kind of like a thing. I, I ask for
Speaker 1: this myself, so.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I hope you guys are managing better than I
Speaker 1: am and that it is not as busy for you guys.
Speaker 1: After this recording session, I have to go back and
Speaker 1: do my assignment, you know, because it's due tomorrow and
Speaker 1: I haven't even started yet.
Speaker 1: But you know, despite my schedule, I am very lucky
Speaker 1: that I was able to find the time to catch
Speaker 1: up with a buddy of mine that I haven't seen
Speaker 1: in so long and he told me, I told him
Speaker 1: that you know I was in for the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. I just came back less than a month
Speaker 1: and he was like oh my god, I also
Speaker 1: Shanghai, China.
Speaker 1: So, he was just walking around. He saw a lot
Speaker 1: of interesting cultural artifacts, uh, a lot of souvenirs. He
Speaker 1: didn't buy any for me, but it's because I also
Speaker 1: went to China. But he had a good few days
Speaker 1: there after the business trip and then because he had
Speaker 1: a friend from Singapore who was in Dubai and he has,
Speaker 1: he had never been to Dubai and his friend invited him,
Speaker 1: not come to Dubai and spend a few days with me.
Speaker 1: And I guess it is quite normal. Sometimes maybe he
Speaker 1: had been overseas in Shanghai for like a few weeks. So,
Speaker 1: it was normal that maybe he was very exhausted, burnt
Speaker 1: out from work, even though he did play for a while.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone in the quarter life crisis stuck in
Speaker 1: a corporate job, probably experience this kind of things. It
Speaker 1: could be due to stress, it could be due to
Speaker 1: a lot of physical fatigue, so never know. So on
Speaker 1: the last night of his trip in Dubai.
Speaker 1: The both of them went to bed early, they share
Speaker 1: hotel room their roommates in the hotel room. And the
Speaker 1: hotel room was very quiet, the lights off because they
Speaker 1: went to bed early.
Speaker 1: But sometime during the night, his friend woke up to
Speaker 1: the sound of whispering.
Speaker 1: H.
Speaker 1: Saya.
Speaker 1: That he shouldn't stay around to find out what was wrong.
Speaker 1: He knew it was wrong, but he didn't want to
Speaker 1: stay out. You know as they say, right? Don't screw around,
Speaker 1: don't find out.
Speaker 1: He was confused, he was like, you know.
Speaker 1: And so, just like that, he returned back to Singapore,
Speaker 1: and he shared this story with his mother.
Speaker 1: S
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 1: So it turns out that this woman, woman, had followed
Speaker 1: him all the way from China. He said that the
Speaker 1: spirit was not gonna be anything harmful towards him but
Speaker 1: Didn't know he went back to Singapore, so I don't
Speaker 1: know lah. I mean he didn't tell me, he did
Speaker 1: give me the details of the spirit because I was
Speaker 1: interested and he didn't he didn't know. But you know
Speaker 1: the ritual and then afterward he no longer had all
Speaker 1: this exhaustion, you know, remove the spirit from him. Thankfully
Speaker 1: nothing happen to him again.
Speaker 1: But I guess it's a bit early to tell because
Speaker 1: he just around the same time. So we did catch
Speaker 1: up a little bit about our time in China. He
Speaker 1: said that when he was in the
Speaker 1: There were a lot of like very ancient looking stuff
Speaker 1: and he is the kind of guy that likes to
Speaker 1: look at those maybe ancient artifacts or like ancient looking stuff.
Speaker 1: Sometimes he likes to go to like thrift shops, secondhand shops,
Speaker 1: you know. Second hand not just clothes, but also like
Speaker 1: some plates, bowls, or like instruments, bags, you know.
Speaker 1: So, you know, I think, really you just never know,
Speaker 1: maybe like I suspect could be encounter shop because I
Speaker 1: think it's easier for them to know. Sometimes. So just
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, I asked if this was his first
Speaker 1: experience with things like this. And he said,
Speaker 1: exactly, experience experience.
Speaker 1: The turning of the supernatural.
Speaker 1: But before that, he was quite a child to believe
Speaker 1: in supernatural because he was quite frankly speaking quite afraid
Speaker 1: of horror.
Speaker 1: But he said that one incident in primary school actually
Speaker 1: happened in his school campus that changed his entire outlook.
Speaker 1: So this incident took place when he was around eleven
Speaker 1: years old. So he was actually studying in a missionary.
Speaker 1: When he was in primary, he had remedial classes with
Speaker 1: his group of classmates. So there will be a break
Speaker 1: in between after the
Speaker 1: Official like timing. After the official end of day, you
Speaker 1: have like a two hour break and remedial class. So
Speaker 1: this two hour break sometimes they play, sometimes they like lunch.
Speaker 1: So while waiting for real, and sometimes we go to
Speaker 1: the play.
Speaker 1: So one afternoon they went to the same place.
Speaker 1: kids.
Speaker 1: So that afternoon, they decided, you know, you know. So
Speaker 1: they knew.
Speaker 1: And at the end of this, this distance, that he
Speaker 1: felt quite unsettling.
Speaker 1: The walls were made of wood. Very, very old, very,
Speaker 1: very dilapidated. There is like, actually glass windows, you know,
Speaker 1: it was very dark and very empty. It was already shattered,
Speaker 1: you know, like the windows and the surrounding area over
Speaker 1: there was completely silent.
Speaker 1: There was a kind of boys walked.
Speaker 1: And most of the boys.
Speaker 1: And he looked at his friend told them, guys, want
Speaker 1: to come in with me inside. All the friends, my friend,
Speaker 1: are you crazy. I show you, show you. So we
Speaker 1: walked straight into the house. They waited for him outside.
Speaker 1: So he stayed inside the house for a few minutes
Speaker 1: before coming back out, looking completely relaxed. This guy is like,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 1: And so of course eventually naturally, everyone forgot about it.
Speaker 1: But the following week, during a math exam.
Speaker 1: The silence in the exam hall was shattered.
Speaker 1: Because boy, boy.
Speaker 1: And very, very out of character for him. He was brave, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I think, you know.
Speaker 1: Two PE teachers to restrain him. And you know back
Speaker 1: in the PE teachers, they were actually muscular, it took
Speaker 1: two muscular PE teachers to restrain this small boy. He
Speaker 1: was not even like a big boy. Like he was,
Speaker 1: he was, he was.
Speaker 1: Was that seriously, that all you took away from this experience.
Speaker 1: It is not that you should abandoned house, but that
Speaker 1: you wait for one of your friends to get possessed
Speaker 1: that exam be canceled so study, bro. I mean, it was,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that was, that was a life changing
Speaker 1: moment for my friend.
Speaker 1: That was when he started believing that supernatural entities do
Speaker 1: have the power. Okay, I hope that my friend, you
Speaker 1: guys will take away from this story consequences. If you like,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Literally walking into, you know. Okay, so this is all
Speaker 1: the time we have for this week's episode as usual,
