I have finally "bumped" into the book I have been looking for almost the past 10years!!!
And so 13 years ago, I came across this short story my english tuition teacher used for the class' teaching material. It was an interesting story. A few years later, I tried to find the source of the story. But I only vaguely remember the book has "Strange" and "Stories" in it.
Today, I just realised there wasn't a "Strange" or a "Stories" word in the book title. It was "Tales of The Unexpected" by Roald Dahl. I bumped into it in Waterstones while browsing around for Short Stories books. Unbelievable! I finally found the book! Apparently it was first published in 1979!
a long sunday...
