Bedok Reservoir Rd, was rushing back home to
celebrate the family dinner. He happened to pass by a remote path somewhere
near Punggol. That used to be a farm village but
has been deserted for a few years. There were
altogether four bus-stops along the roadside. While he was driving along the path, he saw a
young lady at the bus-stop flagging for his taxi. At
first, he wanted to take the lady but he was going
to be late for his dinner. Being a person particular
for punctuality, he decided not to take this
customer. Then he carried on driving. To his surprise, there was another lady flagging him
down. This time he felt familiar because she was
wearing a red T-shirt and black skirt but due to
fading light, he could not see her face. When he passed by the third bus-stop, he felt a bit
of horror as another lady was flagging him again,
in the same red and black clothes! How would a
lady moves faster than the wheels? The distance
between two stops is about 0.8 KM away! This time,
he really felt horrible and stepped the accelerator harder.When passing the fourth one, a lady
charged at his car! He was driving at least at the speed of 100 KM/H!
The lady flew over his vehicle and dropped inside a
drain next to the bus-stop. Ah Tan cried out due to
extremely horror! The victim once again in red and
black clothes. Ah Tan felt so bad and had no mood
celebrating New Year. Finally, he decided to report to the police. The body
in red and black skirt was found, it was a young
Chinese lady aged between 20 to 25 year old. Ah
Tan's horror got attested. The lady's cause of death
is not by car accident but stabbed by sharp object!
She had been dead for about three days, the body already started to decay. After the police statement, Ah Tan thought of the
whole things had been over. Of course the police
snickered at his initial statement and made him do
another 'credible' one. One week later, Ah Tan's horrible feeling had
lessen. What a coincidence, he striked first prize 4-D
for his taxi number plate. He won a big sum of
money, he was so delighted in this, but
unfortunately he fell down in the bath room and
fractured his right arm. He was admitted to Changi hospital. In the hospital, he started to have nightmare night
after night. A young lady, in red and black skirt,
kept calling him "Ah Peh, li di si lo lai?"(Uncle, when
are you coming down?). He really cannot tolerate to
it anymore. Moreover, the inflammation started on his wound.
Luckily, one of his friend who is a Taoist priest
suggested to give up his stake's money instead of
plead for 'safety'. He told Ah Tan that the lady ghost
is gnawed by serious grievances and has become a
ferocious spirit. Since she could not avenge the murderer due to
some reasons, Ah Tan chosen to be the 'scapegoat'
for her rebirth'. The 4D winning stake is to
exchange for his life! After a battle of mind, the lady still disturbed him in
the meanwhile, with a shattered nerves he decided
to give up his $100,000 to The Charity Community
Chest. Strange enough, he recovered from the
illness rapidly. Everything seemed to be over, but a short period
after his discharged, his wife striked 4-D again, the
stake amount is also $100,000! This is because,
one day, his wife went market and bought some
vegetable, she saw the wrapper was the used
newspaper which reported the young lady's murder case. Strangely, there was four numbers on
it, and his wife bet on and striked. After a fierce
argument between them, Ah Tan failed to convince
his wife to donate the money. A deep worry began
to burden Ah Tan when his wife started puzzle
head and like to put on red T-shirt and black skirt. She seemed to go mad and the temper got hotter
and hotter. One morning, she suddenly told Ah Tan
that the life is meaningless'. This time Ah Tan was
decisive, he gave up all the money immediately. He
brought his wife to the temple and asked the
monks to release the young lady's souls from purgatory. After this incident, he stop buying 4-D or involves in
all kinds of gambling. Not long ago, he'd also gave
up his taxi-license.
