Life's so boring here in Singapore. There's no place to go that we've not been to before. New restaurants are not exciting because there's nothing much on the menu for us to choose from. Nothing unusual or exciting ever happens.

Which is why I read "Demons : the answer book" by Lester Sumrall in just two hours. This book's one of my assigned reading texts and we're doing a book review on it. It's very exciting, the climax being the account of how Mr Sumrall exorcised the demons from Clarita (a filipino girl in jail for prostitution) where doctors, psychiatrists and spiritualists have failed. She was periodically bitten and tormented by two unseen demons, and wet teeth marks would appear on her hands and body before a shocked police force and media. When the demons finally left her alone, around a hundred thousand in the land became believers. That was in the 1950s.

Demons to me were the stuff of superstition and stories about them were just hearsay. I used to stay away from services where exorcism was taking place - mainly because I was irritated by all the screaming. Being in Asia, it was quite unusual of me to be so dismissive of the spirit world.

I had an ex-student in Secondary 2 who was possessed, sitting right before me as I was teaching. When I got to know about it, I stared long and hard at her so as to gauge the truth of the matter. However, she did not manifest in a crazy way, and instead asked to go to the toilet. If she was really possessed, I understand why now, after studying this topic on Demons! But there's a lot more I don't understand!

This has been an amazing read.. but alas, it's time to study for my exams tomorrow. I should have eaten more gingko nuts. How to remember all the greek/hebrew terms and bible verses?

P/S : Today, I sat next to Ms Pokey. Things are better now that I've decided to be a better person.
