Pastime is simply a hobby or interest we have towards a certain activity we adore doing during our free time. It could as simple as baking, or playing a game of chess, or even going for a hike at hills or even mountains if you like to take it up a notch.

Well, my favourite would be relating with sports and water. Yes, you’ve guessed it right, it’s swimming. Swimming started in the 1st century and has been part in the Olympics since 1896.

I chose swimming because it has been my favourite thing to do since I was a toddler. When I was young, my parents would bring me to the public pool during weekends. They thought me how to swim. And the first swimming style I learnt from them was the breaststroke. Later in that same year, they signed me up for swimming lessons which was pretty fun but also very tiring indeed as it uses up most of my energy. After a few session of classes, I began to learn new swimming styles such as the backstroke, freestyle, and the famous a wowing butterfly stroke. I learnt the simple technics and the small details which improved my skills of becoming a good swimmer. The trainer was very nice and very particular too. He showed me every movement and corrects my actions if I was wrong.

Besides the great childhood memories I had with swimming, I specifically picked swimming as my favourite pastime activity because of the benefits I get. Talking as a person who suffered being obese before, I chose swimming as it is considered as one of the major cardio activity which burns a whole lot more calories than doing other activities on ground such as walking or biking. It also helps to strengthen the heart and lungs, reduces stress and it works out all of the body’s major muscles, making it the ultimate activity to go for when you want to lose weight.

Other than that, this activity could too be appreciated by the elders because it has low impact to the joints, meaning, it could protect the joints from being strained. And because it is low impact, this activity could be enjoyed for a period of a lifetime.

This story was back when in the year 2005. We were having a slumber party at my cousins. It was half-past 3 in the morning and it was raining heavily. We were having so much fun until they started telling each other their ghostly encounters. Now, keep in mind that it was late and all I wanted to do was sleep. As they were talking about legends and tales, things started to get a little bit freaky.

I was very young at that point and all I wanted to do was to go to bed because it was getting really late. Apparently, my bladder thinks it’s the perfect time to go use the bathroom. So I asked my sister to follow me to the bathroom which was quite far from where we were sleeping. She said she was too afraid to follow me all the way there. I really needed to go so, I started begging literally to everyone to follow me, but all of them were terrified.

I looked at the toilet that can be seen from afar. As I was walking towards the toilet, I heard a really soft but piercing scream coming from behind me. I turned to look and it was my sister’s friend pointing at my direction. I flinched, but I did not look back. I quickly ran back to the sleeping area. When I finally got to my bed, panting, I looked up and I figured out why she screamed.

There was a figure of a man and I am not kidding about what I saw. He looked as though he was peeking through the toilet door. It stayed put for about 2-3 minutes then the toilet door started making squeaky noises, it creeped the hell out of me. I sneaked under the sheets, grabbing everything that was around me tightly, I then quickly closed my eyes as I was terrified of the figure I just saw.

The next morning, when I was making my way down to the dining area, I couldn’t help but to take a look at the toilet again. And so I went. From far, the door of the toilet was not shut properly, it was literally at the same position as it was last night when I saw the figure peeping through it. It didn’t move an inch. As I was passing through the toilet, I encountered the feeling of suddenly being really cold and I experienced goosebumps. I was again scared, and I ran as quickly as I can to the place where everyone was gathered, the living room.

My cousins and my sister told me that I should relax when they saw me running to the living room, they said, I looked like as if I saw a ghost and they laughed. I went to my sister and whispered to her ear, asking “Didn’t you remember anything from last night? Like when you point to me at that strange figure at the toilet upstairs?” and she replied “I don’t remember pointing at anything last night. I was in the room all the time chatting with Lavinya and Dan. But then, I saw you in your bed mumbling about something, but I didn’t bother to ask what it was.”

In my mind, I think that I’m crazy as my sister didn’t even remember what happened last night. Did I just have a bad dream? Or am I the only one who could remember what happened last night.

Till today, I don’t know whether it was real or wasn’t. But I’ve never stepped foot into that toilet in my cousin’s house ever again as I always get goosebumps whenever pass by.

Well Hello my fellow humans,

I come second in the family. Im also known as “the black sheep” of the family. Don’t ask me why. I’m a movie and music fanatic. I listen to pop punk and metal  like, 5 Seconds of Summer, Sleeping with Sirens and a whole lot more because I feel that I can somehow relate to them. I’m socially awkward though.
