It was a unique outing.
Well, I went fishing for prawns today. It was with my detachment. Organized by David. Before even arriving, the signs don't look good.
1st, it started to rain when we first make our way there.
2nd, we had to take a long long walk to the farm, machiam route march, but in the rain.
3rd, it looks like it is eons old.
LOL.. Well, since we prep the stuffs le, no choice but to play lor. Rented the rods and started prawning. With no help from the heavens at all, the rain fell relentlessly on us.
It even got heavier. Drenched from top to toe, and having caught less than 3 prawns, morale was at the rock bottom.
After the slow start, the real action began. Already wet, we couldn't care less liao, we tried means and ways to fish the prawns. Success came our way slowly. Despite our best efforts, success was slow to us.
At the end of the 2 hours, we had less than 20 prawns. Yes, it was very lousy of us, but considering it was our first time, I think we were not too bad? We had some very big catch as well! LOL *trying to console ourselves*
As the sky was clearing up a bit, we decided it was time to prepare the wet pit for bbq. Charcoal was brought out, gauze laid, fire starters lit. In the split of an eye, the clouds gathered and rain fell. Raining harder than previously, we had a hard time. With a giant umbrella shelter over the pit, the pathetic bbq began. Live prawns were skewered and bbq live. It was not a pleasant sight at all. For those of you who know me, I don't take prawns. So, I just stood aside while they carried on. Plans were made quickly for dinner. Once the skies cleared for the 2nd time, we made our way home.
Overall, not too bad an experience. I feel that if not for the weather, this outing could have been much better.
We decided to have dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. Yes, again for me. Just been there last Sat. There were only now 5 from the original 8 earlier on. The 3 had other plans. Dinner was 2xPlatter for 2 & 1 Fish & Chips. Walked down PS to Taka cos 1 of them wana check out a book from Kinokuniya. Loiter ard for a while before heading to Haagen Dazs for ice cream. Fulfilling a promise made to us from don't know when, the bill for our ice cream was footed by YH. Trust me, 5 ice cream desserts' not cheap. Thx YH!! :P
Home sweet home then. Slept less than 3 hrs today. And the stupid parade this morning, I'm very shag now le. Gonna zzz le.. Heh..
