Who is afraid of the dark?

Last night, hub played a mean trick on me. He was acting all creepy and looked at me in a scary way. I was watching Seinfeld on Starworld when he switched the TV off. We were teasing each other earlier on and he had hidden the TV remote control. So I just walked over to the TV and turn it on by using the buttons on it.
After that, he switched the TV off from the main switch, gave me a creepy smile and rolled his eyes (to show the white side of his eyes). I hate it whenever he did that kinda thing because it reminded me of my mean older brother who love to frighten me when I was a little girl.
When I ignored him and went to the toilet, he switched off the lights while I was inside! I quickly ran out of the bathroom and sat on the bed because I was afraid of the dark. He then proceeded to give me that same creepy smile and switched off ALL the lights in the bedroom. The only light that was available came from the PC green LED. The green LED flashes on and off continuously on hub's face and it also gave the dark room a creepy atmosphere. Hub kept on looking at my face with no expression on his face and it really frightened the hell out of me. *faint* I can't believe that I am afraid of my own husband.
I couldn't move my legs. My heart was beating very fast. I panicked so I did the most sensible thing I could think of at that moment...................................................................................

that is to cover my face with a pillow to avoid Azmi's creepy face and ...

cried like a little wussy! Hahahaha.. I felt so silly after everything was over. See, I told you that I am a scaredy cat!

Of course he apologised. His reason for doing that to me? He thought that I can face my fear and get it over with. So that he don't have to accompany me to the kitchen when I have to make myself a cup of milo in the middle of the night. Hahahahaha..

I can't help it lah. I have an hyperactive imagination. In the dark, with my poor night vision, I will imagine that the beige-coloured towel that is draped onto the computer chair is a lady in white looking at me with her bloodshot eyes. The terror can grip me so hard that I couldn't move a single muscle. This new fear started to plague me ever since I move to Ubi. When I was staying in Kallang, I could walk around in the dark even when the whole house was only illuminated by the stars in the sky. I know every bumps and every cracks in every corner of that house. I enjoyed being alone at night and could go to the bathroom without even turning on the lights.

Sigh..

Maybe I haven't really adjusted myself to this Ubi house. It's my first time staying in a big house whereas all my life I am used to a 3-room flat. In Ubi, I feel like I am being watched and I hated the deafening silence when I am all alone. I have to turn on the TV or the mp3 player to keep me company.. Which is a lot of difference because I used to enjoy the silent calming atmosphere in my old home.

I love the way my parents' bedroom looked like in the afternoon when the sun is shining onto the bed from the opened window. I love to lie down on their bed right where the sun is shining on because it's warm and it makes me feel like I am lying next to my mother. And whenever I used to lie down on my parents' bed to take a nap, there is this smell that comforted me. I can't describe the smell to you but I guess you can experience it yourself when you just take a deep whiff of a towel that was washed and hung to dry in the sun.

And if I were to smell something similar somewhere else, I feel like I am being transported back into that room with the sun shining on that bed. Then the feeling of emptiness / happiness / sadness will sometimes overwhelm me that it can bring tears to my eyes. But it depends on my mood at that time.
