The Dating Game and UFOs?

Jose Mourinho probably said it best when asked about Chelsea’s chances of capturing the mythical quadruple.

“We could win four, we could lose four. We could win one or two,”

Well, same thing could be said about my overzealous dating plan for this week. I could have four, I could have none. I could have one or two. As of now, 12.54 pm Thursday, the most likely is one. Well, it’s better than none. But all hopes are not lost. None of them are actual rejection, just postponement. Next week still holds a chance. But still, it could not stop me wonder how difficult it is to get a decent date these days. The dating game is getting complicated by the day. It used to be so easy. Nowadays, I really have to put in some effort just to slot my name in their weekly schedule.

Now, this is truly something. Years of seeing movies like Signs and Men In Black, there’s even an upcoming of War of the Worlds, mind you, last night, dare I say, I had the first ever UFO experience. Although not really conclusive but seeing strange lights in the night sky from the comfort of my own home really raised some questions.

KL was celebrating something last night and fireworks was set off everywhere. There were booming sounds all over the city. To tell you truth, without the Twin Towers, it almost looked like those CNN footages of the Gulf War at Baghdad.

I was fascinated as the skies were repeatedly flashed by the firework explosion and then my eyes caught sight something. It was two red lights. At first I thought they were commercial airplanes as I have seen many times before but they don’t appear red. They were equipped with white lights. Even though they also have red lights on their wings but they were always blinking and impossible to see from down here. What’s more, these two lights don’t seem to move. Look more like hovering. Maybe they’re helicopters. But helicopters are not supposed to linger around clouds. They are not designed to handle such altitudes. So what are they? As I was pondering, three more appeared not far from the previous two. Stars? No. There’s one in the clear part of the sky and it was white. Satellites? In close proximity within each other? Moving about up and down, left and right? I think not. So there I was, chinning myself by the window for more than a half hour. Watching them go about hovering the city of KL. I guess they too are fascinated by the fireworks display. At first it was quite disconcerting. But after awhile, it became intriguing. A bit of exciting even. Surely enough, by the time the people who started it ran out of fireworks, the lights soon faded away, one by one.

Curious, I began a search on the internet for UFO sightings in Malaysia. Surprisingly enough, there’s even an organization exists called the Center for Malaysian UFO Studies. There actually have been other sightings in this country for nearly a century ago. But the most recent reports have around the late 90’s. Nothing since the turn of the millennium. No wait, I just found some dated 2002. Well, how about that? Quite interesting really.

Oh my, I’d love to stay and tell you more but I got an appointment with Keanu in a bit while. He asked me to come along with him and go see some demons and ghosts. Hmm, I guess Halloween came very early this year.
