tis true encounter was happened not long ago. it was
happened in a construction site near the new changi airport
terminal 3 building. the project is to be carried out by a
reputable japanese construction firm. i shall not disclosed the
name of the construction firm for now. well it was all about a
tree, an indian guard and a spirit of course.
__________________________________________________ ________
sometimes tis year, a decision was made to bring down a tree
because it was situated right at the heart of the new building
and it was obstructing the work progress of the construction
work. not long after, the tree was cut down like it was
belonging to the father of the japanese. i dont know whether
do u believe or not, most chinese believe that trees or plants
are shelter of spirits. it could be more than shelter, perhaps
could be a living soul.

anyway, the japanese firm took down that tree as like they
have taken down thousand of trees in asia during the
japanese invasion. but tis time, they are not as lucky. few
days after the chopping, several staffs tat work till late at
night hear crying and moaning voices from the direction the
old tree used to be. they couldn't find documents they want
in the office at night but it reappear again in the next morning.
potted plants tat used to keep in the office for years dried up
and die suddenly. even the new replacement plants doesn't
stay for long. one of the indian guard there saw the spirit
sitting on a tree top at night beside his guard post. he reported
tis to his superior and then granted to offer an indian altar
inside his guard post to protect him. but it doesn't seem to be
working becos some staffs and the indian guard still see the
blur image of the spirit at night. the spirit must be protesting
for compensation for the demolishing of his private shelter,
a tree. however, nothing seem to move the head of the
jap firm which is a pure ah noi nei, japanese san. he is a
devoter of the japanese god and he has a altar inside his
office. things turned around 180 degree only after he saw the
spirit in his own eyes.

ok, now come back to the head of the project in-charge
which is a japanese san. u know japanese are very workaholic
and tis particular jap is as no different from other and he
usually stayed till very late. have u seen those site office tat
built up by specially designed container in the construction site?
well, they are stacked into double storey with an exposed
corridor leading to the staircase at the side of the container
office. so, wat happened on a faithful night was the jap san
worked late as usual and juz when he was going down the
staircase from the site office, he missed a step of the wooden
staircase and he slide down juz like one using an escalator
down in a shopping centre. everything happened juz in a split
second. the next thing he knew is he was laying face up
on the cement floor of the staircase landing. he was shocked
and feeling hurt somewhere in his body but juz couldn't move
his body for that moment. as he was laying on the ground
looking up, he saw an image of a tree on the edge of the roof
top of the site office above him. how could a tree be planted
on the roof which made of zinc sheet and not soil? tat was
wat he was wondering in his mind while still laying on the
ground. he was then attended shortly by the indian guard which
the guard post was not far away from the staircase. beside
making some painful moaning sound while the indian guard was
lifting the jap san up from the ground, the jap san keep
gesturing and pointing up at the roof to the indian that he
found something unusual up there. but after the jap san was
helped to sit on a stool nearby, the tree image on the roof
was gone.
