imagine this..
you've just eaten a nice dinner of japanese noodles and tiramisu. you're feeling happy and contented, and are walking to the bus-stop with your little friend named Sarah, ready to head home. you are walking along this fairly deserted, dark path, with trees on either side. some of the branches hang over the path, giving a rather Big Fish feel. all is right with the world.
then your little friend Sarah notices a string hanging from one of these overhanging branches. she comments in an offhand manner "oh look, a string!" so obviously, you are inclined to agree. "Oh yes. perhaps someone was hung there..." and that's when you suddenly wonder what would happen if you trod on a booby trap and this noose-like structure seizes you by the neck. this gruesome image plays about in your head for this split second, as visions of popping eyeballs and floppy necks dance through your saturated brain. meanwhile, your friend is terrified of some dead being floating around(or something. go ask sarah yourself)
whatever it is, you both SHRIEK at the same moment and turn around, choosing to make a humongous detour through orchard mrt and out the other way, to reach your bus stop.
how maluating. (and nerve-wracking. i must have a weak heart...)
