Stretching The Comfort Zone

Kampung Buangkok

So, I decided to cycle to Buangkok to search for the illusive village there. It was 7 in the morning and I asked little bro along. So we cycled. I have a rough estimation of where the place was. As a pizza hut rider, I had delivered pizza around the vicinity of Gerald Drive.

(Cycling along gerald dr)Firstly there was a black dog. Didnt bother us. About 50m ahead, there was a brown dog. I stared at it the moment I saw it. It took that as a challenge as chased me. Instincts told me to speed up. It run along me at the side. I shouted at it when it got near. Then it kept a distance, still following me. Gave up chase after some time. Got our shirts dirtied from the puddles of muddy water we dashed through.

I kept cool all time, sensing no threat throughout but doing as I thought I should. I knew the dog could have attacked any time it wanted to. But it didnt. It was a guard dog I believe. Probably trained not to bite. Unlike my experience during primary school when I was chased by a tiny dog. I ran like I never ran before. Endorphine pumped and full of adrenaline, the dog was no where in sight when I stopped to look back.

Didnt really explore the 'village' as it didnt seem visitor friendly and dogs were everywhere. There were only the 2 of us. Made our way back after that.
