Bukit Brown Cemetery

I went to Bukit Brown Cemetery yesterday with a bunch of friends. We were there at around 1 plus in the morning for a solo and group walk activity. I think this is the first time I ever went to a cemetery and in the middle of the night.

Bukit Brown Cemetery is located somewhere near Lornie Road. I never knew there is a cemetery there until yesterday. It is said to be one of the oldest cemetery in Singapore. We drove to the cemetery and boarded a lorry that one of my friend was driving to go into the cemetery. Upon passing through the gates of the cemetery, I couldn't help start to feel the eeriness of the cemetery. I had done solo walk before in places where it was so dark that I can't even see the route in front of me and I had to rely on the light of the candle in my hand to guide me along, yet I had not ever felt so spooked or eerie.

My friends dropped my bf, me and 3 other friends off somewhere in the cemetery and asked us to follow a route which will lead us to the end point where we were supposed to wait for the others to come.

I was trying hard not to look around me while I was walking in the cemetery. However as it was the first time I ever properly been into a cemetery, I can't help but try to look and see my surroundings. As there is a clearing along the path that we were walking on, it was actually not very dark and thus the moonlight provided enough light for me to look around my surroundings a little. I can seen the silhouette of the tombstones around me. It adds to the eeriness of the surroundings.

The path where there was clearing was still no so bad to walk in. I could almost pretend that I was doing all my other solo walks. Then came the part where it was so dark that I almost could not see the path in front of me. I had to hold my bf's hand to get some confidence. Hee... I felt so kiasi then... hee... We reached the end point after we walked through that dark dark path and I waited there with my bf for the rest of the other people to come.

My bf and I were practically feeding the mosquitoes while we were waiting there. I was lucky to be wearing long pants so my mosquito bites are concentrated on the area around my feet. My bf was bitten almost everywhere. I was almost dozing off while waiting for the others to arrive when there was suddenly a very loud "BOOM" that seemed to be right beside me. I jumped off from my seat and was totally freaked out... I think my bf was quite freaked out also... Who wouldn't? It was already quite freaky to be in a cemetery in the middle of the night and so that suddenly loud noise really freaked me out. As it was too dark I couldn't really seem what happened so we decided to shift our seat further in. I couldn't sleep anymore after that incident and luckily the first person we were waiting for arrived soon after...

We got out of the cemetery at around 5 in the morning... Home sweet home to catch up on our sleep.... Yawn...
