A memorable land expedition

jz came back from Delta Experience last night, n slept for 16hours in total.. haha like a pig
now thinking back, i think i wont forget the experience when my group was followed by 2 groups of dogs~~

it was around e last 1 or 2 km from the destination, around 3.30am
i was the last one, since i was the Student Instructor who wore reflection jacket
few hours ago i was sms-ing v william, he "cursed" me for meeting sth tt i wont forget in my whole life..
suddenly, i heard dog barking. I turned back, saw 1 dog.. since we were walking in group of 11, i wasnt afraid.. jz a dog, no big deal.
After a while, i heard a few more dogs at e back... barking in e way which s quite different.. sounded as if they wanna attack us
i was quite scared, thinking tt i mz take k of my camper's safety ( i wonder y i was so NOBLE at tt time) i called mr seng calmly, telling him our situation n exact location
he said he cant help us too cos he s far away...
then i started to panic.. called kendrik, whose group s jz a few hundred metres in front of us..
while i was calling, suddenly i heard another bunch of dogs on our right.. omg.. i cant imagine how many dogs r there n how bad e situation is if the the dogs decided to attack
i slowly moved myself into the groups.. cos i was the last one.. imagined my shins bitten by dogs.. ouch how painful it wud b...
continued calling other teachers, hoping to get more help.. cos even if kendrik's group come, they wont b much help also
then josiah called.. saying tt they try to send me help

after tt my group tried to stay together, hoping to decrease surface area... i grabbed a camper's hand, telling her tt i m scared...i searched myself, realised tt we din hv any weapon to protect ourselves, except for a whistle to get help... we all were terrified. but the guys in my group assured me by telling us tt they r at e back, even if the dogs attack, they will b bitten 1st.. quite assuring i must say.. sharlene wanted to run, we all stopped her... mathangi shouted when e dogs barked.. we immediately shut her up.. wat e hell lah.. SIs r supposed to b more calm shudnt we?

after a while, dunno y e dogs jz didnt follow us anymore.. we still dare not talk..
then kendrink brought an umbrella v one of his camper.. n slowly we crossed to e other side of e road to join the group.. still, no one dare to create noise.. i quickly called to HQ to make sure no other groups walk the area without escorting..until we finally reached sembawang park.. i was so relieved when i c some groups there v teachers.. thank god we r safe

then e campers started to share how they felt
they tot i was not scared at all when i was calling.. until i grabbed a gal's hand saying tt i m afraid.. haha good acting.. others said tt were thinking how to attack back if they r attacked.. some planning to punch, some saying tt they wud make e dogs into "hotdog"
aiyah say only lah~~~

anyway thanx for group 6 Flexibility... i m glad to hv u ppl in my group..
i was so exhausted after tt.. tried to grab some rest b4 sunrise
lying alone on bench, i heard dogs barking...damn... i jumped up n grab an umbrella n slept on e floor in pavilion, v another grp's ppl.. phobia already i guess.......

during reflection for the whole camp, all of my campers said it was the most unforgettable moment in e camp, ranking 1st in the list.......

yes i totally agree....
