The freakiest thing happened during drama today. Something was playing with the lights and sounds when we were rehearsing. At first, we were simply irritated by the scratchy, breathy noises coming over the sound system. Someone even joked that some people were playing porn. Haha. We thought it was a prank... but soon enough, it became clear, that there was nobody, (nobody we could see that is), playing with the lights or microphones. The first time I started to really freak out was when the noise started again and I was suddenly struck by the memory of Umi telling me about how those things sound. It was exactly how she described the noises she heard in the night, during kampung times. @_@ I don't know... But from then, I just started to wonder. The sounds and lights started changing and flickering and disturbing us intermittently. And we screamed a bit. And Hadri attempted to read the 3 Quls, although he forgot how the last Qul went (Qul a'u zubira bil falaq...). Our practice kept being interrupted.
At one point, Matin alerted us all that he'd seen the door of the sound room open and close of its own accord. We all snapped our eyes to the top of the LT to look, and seconds later, the lights within the sound room went off, and immediately, the whole LT went pitch black as well. Everyone, or so it seemed to me, screamed! Then everyone started scrambling towards the doors; I ran out half laughing, half screaming. The fact that there were so many of us actually made it funny, but in all honesty, it's all... so strange. After that, we went back in slowly, and switched the lights back on... and after a while, the disturbances stopped.
Wow. I really don't know what it was... But how interesting. One thing's for sure. I won't be very comfortable being on my own in LT2 anymore. And no way am I going into the LT first tomorrow, as I normally do. Before this.
