As planned, we went back to OCH on Saturday night, Taoist priest in the lead. He did a ritual, underwent an interview, and left us, shaking his head at our madness. I was already freaked out enough about having to go back at night, and getting into an argument with my parents just before I left didn't help matters. It's just a dinner; we eat together all the time. What's the big deal about reunion dinner anyway? It's not like the whole clan is there.
The ghost hunters came as planned. Except they brought a child with them, which I didn't expect. I really don't know what they were thinking, bringing a kid to a place like this, and I completely didn't blame him for getting upset. I would, if I was faced with a creepy looking place like that.
So when Andrew had his bright idea, I really wasn't keen on playing along, but I did in the end, because I always do. And while I can't remember exactly what happened, I just know that Audi and I had never been so scared in our entire lives, nor have I ever run so fast, despite the slippery floors and the broken glass.
But what stuck with me was how Andrew reacted. I mean, I know he's focused on the project, but for crying out loud, I'm running out of there, hysterical, and I've NEVER done that before in my life, and he couldn't find it in himself to just comfort me for one moment? And instead talks about how I might have frightened some China girl who was living there? And as we were all busy getting out of there, he actually sticks around to look for that girl, to make sure we didn't scare her? Seriously, if you're going to stay in a place like OCH, you bloody deserve to be scared to death.
I guess Saturday night proved what his priorities are. Clearly I'm not part of them, since he won't answer my calls, emails and SMSes for the whole of today. Whatever, I'm too exhausted to care right now.
