after the desert ride, they queued up for the camel ride. after that, they adjourned to a desert camp for some snack, some entertainment and the big feast came.
everybody had a good bite of the mutton kebab, grilled chicken, beans, nan....
during the camel ride, an angmoh wanted to cut queue, bob, one of the tour group members confronted him. though the bedouin camel-herd was not happy that bob did what he did, questioning his way of wanting to give in to the angmoh after the angmoh apparently trying to offer him something to cut the queue, bob stood his ground. the angmoh stood aside.
also there's another incident involving another angmoh, a big angmoh, who when trying to mount the camel, did not get a proper mount. when the camel stood up, he could not hang on to the grip, fell down from the camel. the camel did not care, continued to make its first stride, with the fallen angmoh on its way.
bob, jumped out and pulled the angmoh away, just before the camel's hoof landed on his big body. the angmoh thanked him profusely.
tonite, the stars did not show up in the arabian sky as he had witnessed them many years ago when he worked in this very desert, probably due to the sandy dust kicked up by the tourists in the camp site. but one star did rise from the east, magnificent and bright.... he is:
- bob(aka our former president ong teng cheong)of arabia, who saved the day.
bob .....
