once upon a time

Could someone be haunted forever because of something that has happened long long time ago? i know there are people who are afraid to sleep in the dark because of a movie they saw years ago, or they had unpleasant experience one night when they were x yrs old...i remember i was afraid to sleep alone in the hotel after a funny incident in taipei....
we were talking about ghost stories while having dinner one night and at that time, it didnt occur to me that i would be haunted for quite sometime...because at that time, i thought to myself...oh well, what's there to be afraid of? i have my friend to accompany...until my friend was gone...i started to feel scared and what's worse? that night, when i finally fell asleep, suddenly, not knowing whether it was from my dream or the reality, i felt my bed shaking like someone was shaking me to be awake and didnt realize it was a 3 sec earthquake...i was scared for 6 months!!! anway, out of topic now...i returned to IFC last dec to see xmas deco...for those who dono..IFC is a big, expensive shopping mall in central and linked to office buildings...when i first came to HK, i worked there for about 2 yrs...yup..E&Y was in such a fancy place and i was lucky to be part of it...somehow, when i was strolling in the mall, i suddenly remember how hateful i was when i was walking to office everyday...and how i felt like i didnt wanna go to work but stay home and sleep instead...i suddenly remember how lost and lonely i was at that time...life at that time was....without purpose!!! it was just, work and home, work and home...and doing something i didnt like...to put it correctly..the work itself was ok..but the people, the pressure just were not my thing...i suddenly remember how i came to this foreign land, couldnt speak a word of cantonese, didnt have many friends, a whole new environment (both work and living) for me...and woalah..it was FIVE yrs ago....the point of me putting that pic in? is just the only thing i miss the most about the work place...THE TOILET...it was 5 star hotel toilet...with a maid inside...wuahahaha....it was just a simple pic, but bring back a lot of memories~~ :)
