WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT????

Last night, I had the shock of my life!! Here's what happened... 


Let me start from the beginning.

I work in an outsourcing company which supports clients in the US. My work hours has to also follow the US hours, which in Malaysia will start at night and ends just before the sun comes out. So, driving at 3 or 4 in the morning is a norm for me.

Yesterday at around 3 in the morning, one of my colleague, Mirza, invited me to go for a drink at a nearby mamak shop. So, we drove off in my car to Padang Kota Corner in Kota Damansara. I just had 'teh tarik', while Mirza helped himself to 'mee goreng mamak' and a glass of 'teh tarik'.

Shortly after, a few other colleagues from the office also joined us - Sachein, Kavitha, Edgar, Sri, Mansor, Shargunan and Mahen. They order food and drink - it is our 'lunch time' anyway. After a while, Mirza and I excused ourselves as our break time is almost over. 

We were driving back from the mamak shop going back to the office along Persiaran Tropicana, when suddenly something caught my eye - I saw a huge WHITE FIGURE among the trees just in front of us.

I slowed down my car...

"What in the world is that!!!???" I exclaimed, with eyes wide opened. 

"Mirza, are you seeing what I am seeing??", I asked.

"Yes, I think so...", replied Mirza with a bit of a trempling voice.

"What is that??" Mirza asked.

Well, before I continue, let me share with you that Persiaran Tropicana road is often regarded as the 'back road' that connects Kota Damansara and Bandar Utama. At 4am, there weren't a lot of cars or people around. In fact, there were none at that time.

Panic starts to kick in!

But weirdly, instead of driving off - I braved myself, took out my camera and started taking pictures.

  


While I was taking pictures, suddenly Mirza said to me "Look! there's another one!"

We saw another white figure on another tree nearby. In fact, we spotted a few more after that.


It did not move, just wavering in the same spot in the tree. We decided to get down from the car, and started walking towards the figure.

After closer inspection, we discovered that the 'white figures' were actually wrapping plastics from a nearby contruction site that got stuck on the trees................

PHEW!! : )



NOTE :
Hehehe... actually, I already knew those were wrapping plastics as I already saw it earlier during the day. I just decided to add some "suspense" in my writing for your reading pleasure : ) : )

If I really saw an unknown white figure in the trees at 4 in the morning, do you really think I would stop and take pictures?? I DON'T THINK SOOOOOO...

But jokes aside, if someone who did not know that those were wrapping plastics and suddenly happens to pass by this road at 4 in the morning... Seeing those "white figure among the trees" could easily give them a heart attack, don't you agree?

So, the next time you happen to drive along Persiaran Tropicana road -- be careful!!
