Prawning @ Lakeside Fishing

Was at Lakeside fishing pond on Sunday...
I think it wasnt tat enjoyable...
3hrs 2 prawns... Sigh... Another group of 3, 4prawns...

Fishing!!!

I went fishing today... I guess it was a series of wrongs, right from the start of day...

Me girlfriend rang me this morning at 9ish to cancel deep sea fishing today... I said okay... I couldn't get back to sleep... Got up, blah blah here and there... Right about 12ish, I went to take a nap, dont know why, I just needed that power nap... Hmm, perhaps I am getting old... Ha! 1ish I got up for the loo and saw like 6 missed calls... I returned the sms and went to wash up, brush teeth and wash face for the 2nd time... Phone rang... I didnt answer... Returned call after, it was almost 2pm... GF say lets go fishing... BUT, I need to get there by 2.30pm... Err, I was at Bt Panjang, I cant drive me old car to West Coast within 10mins, also, I cant get myself showered and packed in time... Nonetheless, I felt like my GF wanted me to go, I said ok, if I dont call by 245pm I am not going... She hung up and I went on to get ready...

I reached West Coast at 3.05pm... Nobody there... Her hubby went to pick up their nephew... So I rang my GF, coffeeshop belongs to them, you see, we waited for him to come back and I had a coffee black, my usual fav... When he got back, he was telling me its too late to fish... Tide and all, of course, I dont really understand much of it... So I was thinking should I go home? Then they sat down and chatted for a short wee while... Next, we are going again! It was almost 3.30pm... We head out to buy prawn baits and reached RSYC about 4pm... No time to lose, we headed out to sea soon...

Winds heavy, waves heavy... I guess my little body got bit sick from the extreme wind and tide conditions... I felt really sick... I put aside my hand line and went for a couple of puffs... I was like on the verge of vommit... I could feel the back of my head in pins and needles and I could feel my fingers mildly trembling from the discomfort... Still I held on, I didnt wanna be a party pooper... Went to sit at boat front for fresh air and away from minute details... Somehow, those minute details make me giddy and sick... Can you believe, even stuffs like, looking at my friend talking make me wanna puke?? Looking at the fishes mouths open and close make me wanna puke... The buoyancy in me was completely off... I was desperately looking for calming solution... My GF gave me a candy to chew on, it was bit sour, soon I start to feel better... So the old wives tale of taking suan mei when pregnant, cant be too far off... Kekeke!! So I was back on, wanting to fish again... By this time, it was already too late, fishes are probably off somewhere else playing... Hmm, poor me, no catch at all today... :'(

Take a look at me after sour candy...

Okay, so that was it fishing... We all packed up soon after as baits were all used up... Headed back to RSYC and preparing for dinner... Everyone was hungry...

Here is a look at some of the fishes we caught today... If not for the tide, I think our efforts would be doubled! :)

Tip for the light hearted! Dont go out to sea if you get motion sickness from violent movements~! Better stay indoors and be good! :p

Anyhow, to summarise, still it was a good day afterall. :)

Kudos Susan Boyle !

I was randomly searching the web for interesting news and I came across Britain's got Talent... I must admit I lost track of these idol series since the first 3 months it started years ago... I was hooked on American Idol when it first started, then I stopped watching tele altogether coz I was rooted to the TV so much, I wasn't doing much work or socialising...

Anyhow, here's something to boot about Susan Boyle! Looks can be deceiving... We all somewhat will turn cynical when we see a certain sort of character or looks, etc... We start to make imaginative predictions of the outcome... I must say, I was very much taken aback by what I heard... :)

Way to go, Susan Boyle! Go kick ass! Brilliant voice, incredible performance! :) Very true person at this point in time. :) I like that. :)

Checked at Checkpoint...

Had a rather bollocks day driving around and getting stuck in jams the other day, in JB, i.e... Apart from a severe lack of sleep due to tooth pains and from hanging around too many night birds, I was feeling kinda floaty last 1, 2 weeks... Lots of stuffs ongoing in the mind, changes to be made to my life, etc... I was talking to one of my friends, Nat, the other evening, we were talking about mid life crisis... Or rather, I was talking about mid life crisis... Bummer, bummer, bummer...

Anyhow, back to the story, I wanted to go in to JB to request for a copy of the Malaysian's yellow pages... Managed to get a copy but not sure if it was really useful... We, 7 of us, then head to some hawker centre for a major bite' kids, adults, everyone was starving. My colleague ordered BBQ stuffs, curry fish head, etc... I must say, I didn't quite enjoy the BBQ stuffs... Though the BBQ sotong was goody... Afterwhich we went to Jusco... A large shopping complex about the size of the new Jurong point...

Anyway, I had quite an experience when we were on the way back from Jusco... I had 2 friends in the car, 1 was my colleague, the other sort of young friend :), my boss's teenage daughter... We passed all the checks and were ready to rove back to Singapore... Just right about hitting the exit, we were stopped again by an Indian police officer... He then requested for all our passports. He first requested for my colleague to produce his passport, they spoke briefly in malay, then he was telling us to hand out our passports...

Next, I was told to drive into this little hole, with barriers up the top... Hmm, it was a narrow little hole... I had to squeeze my corolla into the lot... Told to off the engine, take car keys out, wallet and stuffs all out and everyone out. Colleague was taken to a private room next to the hole. Boss's daughter and I got out the car, told to pull everything out of our pockets. Then we were body searched... Hmmm... We were told its routine checking... Afterwhich, wallets, pockets, everything checked, I was told to open up the bonnet and wait for the rest of the car to be checked... Screened, pass. We then hang around there chatting with the lady officer, about job type, etc, while still waiting for my colleague. Apparently he was stripped to the nude... Of course, none of us knew what happened to him till we were back in the car, waiting for exit... My colleague came out, we were told then it wasn't necessary to check the rest of the car, we can leave! :) Just about heading out the final traffic light, we saw those teeth sticking out from the ground. It was red light. We were told not to move, wait, wait, wait... Soon, those teeth folded back into the ground, lights turned green, we were told to go... Weee! Fly away!!!

I must say I got no idea why we got checked... Perhaps it was my corolla... Our faces... Or the weird combination of 1 malaysian cook, 1 singaporean woman and 1 singaporean teenager... None of us had any link to each other and we went on a trip to JB... Kekeke... :p
