PRAWNING AT LAKESIDE FISHING VILLAGE

Here we go again!!!

One sunny afternoon, 4 rookies who knows nuts (pun unintended) about prawning decided to give it a try for the first time in their life. Just like a group of excited little girls who chanced upon a new playground, talks about how, where and what they will be doing with it were naturally being discussed. Little do they know what awaits them...

Our "new playground" - Lakeside Fishing Village

Apparently, the whole place is divided into 2 parts. 3/4 of the area is allocated for fishing (forgot to capture a pic of it) while at the other corner, a section of it is allocated for prawning. The charge for prawning is $14/hr. We decided to take up the package of buy 2 get 1 free (3hours) for 28 bucks per rod.

The bait - Not sure what is it. Haha

The other prawn-ers patiently waiting for their big catch...

Me happily waiting for our "big catch" as well

And then 2 hours passed and we are still kosong... -_-"'

Notice the bald head guy standing in the middle of the platform? He's amazing man! We were sitting there, praying for a miracle from our rod and yet that guy there was like catching 1 prawn every 2-3 mins!? Arrgh!!! Make us even more jealous! Some other guy, apparently witnessing the same thing as us, even went over near that spot to try his luck. But nope, he caught nothing. So there must be some techniques involved.

Donut ended up wearing Groundnut's cap because the flies (or whatever it is) seem to be attracted to her hair. Haha..

Trying to act happy even though we caught nothing yet.

Just when all hopes seem lost, we received help from a little girl. No, this is not a typo error. It's a little girl around 8-9 years old probably? In fact, she is in the picture above wearing a pink top. Probably puzzled or already cannot tahan how we can't even catch a single prawn, she decided to give us a helping hand. She really put us to shame. Haha...

First, she took out some kinda ball bearings to measure the depth of the water, then adjust the float to the correct height. After that, she changed our hook to a bigger hook brought by her uncle. Next, She informed me that our baits are too big and she proceeded to cut it into smaller pieces. No wonder we spent 2 hours there and caught nothing! Then we tried again. Apparently, it worked a little cos there was tension, meaning there was prawn at the other end, probably nibbling away at the bait. And she even knew that! Really pro! But still, no success because i was not skillful enough to hook it up at the right moment. Sigh... She decided to increase our chance by cutting up a worm O_o for our bait. Speechless... And with further tips from her, we finally caught one, just before times up!!! Wahahaaa... Consolation prize! The little gal even wanted to donate us some of her prawns out of kindness. So nice~ But we rejected her kind offer though.

Our "consolation prize" Wahahaha...

Close up of the "unlucky prawn". Lolz...

APRIL'S OUTING

Sorry for the late post gals. Meant to post this a while back but was too busy to do so. Anyway, there's nothing much to blog about cos we did not take much photos for this outing. Haha... Totally forgot to take some shots of our game session at Mind's Cafe, Boat Quay. But still, this post may be needed for our future reference, for one reason or another. Wahahaaa...

Pathetic amount of pork belly

GROUNDNUT'S BIRTHDAY

Another birthday celebration post. Ha!

This time round, our 三八 gal (lolz) decided to hold her celebration at Ichiban, Suntec. Goodness me! What a choice of location! The whole place was jam-packed with impossibly streams of people who makes a mockery of the word - 'recession'. Are those IT gadgets really so cheap? Or am i the only one living in the 'recession world'??? Hello? Any people out there? Answer me leh... And we became sardine-ed before we even get to eat sardines -_-"' It's a miracle that we actually walked out of suntec alive! Wahahaa....

Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyy... Feast Time!

Paper pot

The sardines... I mean sashimis

After dinner, it's time to play a game!!!

We decided to play a little game with groundnut by asking her to guess the pictures that we "specially prepared" for her. Surprisingly, she did better than we expected. Ha...

The photo that left groundnut almost tearing her hair out, and in the process killing majority of her brain cells. Wahahaaaaaaa.... *Evil grin*

See Video below:

Groundnut can't recall this picture at all. So we decided to provide another clue:Clue 1: Rong's face revealed


Clue 1 Video

Groundnut Still clueless...

Clue 2: Donut's face revealed

Head scratching continues...

Clue 3: Peanut's face revealed

Giving up?

And finally, the most important clue: The bags


At Chinatown Kster - Puzzle Solved!!!

The rest of the pictures were a breeze for groundnut though. Good memory! Amazing that our forfeit queen did not have to do any forfeits this time. Woo hoo! *Clap Clap Clap*

Just wanna show this: customised chop by Peanut. Didnt know i have such a talented friend. I just have to repeat this again: Really 受不了! Haha...

Our customary group photo. Hee...

Next stop: Was supposed to go to a jazz bar at city hall. In the end we went to a pub by the name of 'Balaclava' just right outside suntec to watch Man U vs Liverpool match!!! 1 soccer fanatic and 5 clueless gals watching a soccer match? Haha... I hope it did not bored the hell out of you gals. But it was new experience for our group cos it was the first time we watched soccer together. Isn't it fun to watch soccer with so many people? Agree everyone? (trying to justify the sudden change of plan. Hee..) Ya, i know it was disappointing that on such a historical moment, you gals get to witness one of the worst defeats ever suffered by Man U throughout their history. And i refused to mention the scoreline again. Arrgh!!! Now i hate Liverpool even more.

The gals started cam-whoring with their masterpiece

Just realised we got the perfect phototaking seats with the pub's name (mirror reflection) as the background :)
