so we were filming our LAN videos at 'my place', about 15 to 20 of us g8-ians were there. and i'm not sure what happened here, but when i looked over to the chinese dancers they were using their fans to hit off flies or something. guess what? they were BEES! someone must have knocked a hive or something irritated the bees la. and soon the whole swarm of bees were chasing all of us and everyone was screaming and running and it was probably one of the freakiest, scariest things that ever happened to me. everyone had already split up and the experience was very traumatizing at that time lor, i used the word trauman A LOT today already, cause everywhere you looked there were bees and you could hear them but no matter where you ran they followed. i think we broke into three groups.
i was actually sitting at the stairs near the guardhouse alone safe, and i saw anna and a few other people running already. then i figured i better not stay so i ran out when i saw xin yi and vivian running too. STUNG! i got stung right between my eyes. and it hurt and was gross but didn't hurt as much as i thought it would. i had to pull out the black furry sting. eeyew! but vivian was like saying "i got stung i got stung!" she was in a lot of pain cause i think she allergic or something. she had like 3 to 5 stings on her back and side, and xin yi had 2 on her hand. we were so scared cause we were the last group to run out and so we ran to the guardhouse where the amazing guards kept us safe. they let us in the guardhouse and whacked off bees for us. one of them got stung helping us, eventually they locked us in the toilet cause window other direction, so there safer. there we examined vivian's sting and it was like really red surrounding the sting, like really bad la. and she was like limping from pain already. finally the guards said it was okay to come out so we said thank you and left.
then we saw ian outside 'my place', he got stung too, but apparently he took it like a "man" and said like mosquito bite only. anyways, we decided vivian especially needed to see the doctor so we walked to the clinic and all our wallets except ians was at the pool so we like sei for la, gotta pinjam money. so i pinjamed five bucks from elena, my ex-classmate.
so we went to the clinic and vivian had to take the jab. since we had so little money, i tried asking the doc for discount. =P said alot of ppl got stung, so if all come here got package deal ar? lol, but he was really good-natured about it. and eventually we decided only vivian needed the jab and the three of us will eat the medicine la. the doc put the injection into the sting wound man, so ouch. the bill was like 35 bucks, so we had to pay with coins even. lucky we had enough money la. then we left with two packets of medicine, must take one each, each packet had ten tablets. so we each took one and then distributed the rest to whoever needed it.
on the other side of the world, elena, dheswin, hze hou, pris and a couple more people were in another clinic. it was so sweet of mr. ng to completely miss his lunch to send them there as soon as he heard about the 'attack'. dheshwin's case was the most severe, she has 8 bee stings! then they all got jabs cause they were all stung too. i think in total, 12 of us got stung- me, pris, hze hou, dheshwin, kelly, xin yi, vivian, wen shi, sheetal, rebecca, ian and jayn(?), i'm not sure.
i guess everything eventually subsided, but for the rest of the day we kept coming back to that topic and discussing it and all. really freaky lor! i think dheswin(8 bee stings!), wen shi(stung on lip and bee went in his mouth), vivian(her sting really hurt and she needed the jab) and hze hou(vinegar-ethanoic acid, was mistakenly put on his acidic bee sting in hopes of curing it but it ended up hurting more) had the worst experience. the rest of us are pretty much fine.
still, i think it was a pretty cool new experience, kinda like paintball, you wanna get hurt sorta thing just for the experience, and it did, as ivan put it, in a way bring us all closer together. and it dissipated(?) the previous stress we were all under from filming.
so, as we were pretty much still traumatized, we decided not to go back to 'my place' to film anymore, so we filmed outside SAM garden where we just danced our indian dance there. SO PAI SEH! we dance also chanting pai seh already, but no choice lor. people were staring at us and some even stopped to just watch the whole 'performance'.
well after that, i had my first MADU group meeting with the group leader and went for my first friday cf in taylor's(cause my class schedule changed and now i can go).
=P pretty unforgettable day i think. i'm just glad that of all people to experience this with, i did it with g8. =)
so i'm gonna go out with my sister and mum now. ciao!
oh and ps: i just realized it was jap not jab. =P
i love ya loads,
candice toh pooi sim.
