Prawning session 24/10/08

Went prawning somewhere in Sin Ming on Friday night with the gang. Finally we are doing something else rather than mahjong or poker haha =)

Well it was quite fun .. only if you managed to catch something .. and after a 3 hour prawning session, me and my prawning partner Joel caught a grand total of ... 7 prawns (of which I contributed 3). There were so many near misses .. when I felt the prawn bite the bait but when I pulled the rod up, they escaped =( I shall buck up and improve my prawning skills and catch next time.

Highlights of the night:

Yanrong thought he caught a whale and flicked his arm so strongly upwards that he ended up having his fishing line hooked onto the top of the roof .. HAHA.. and he had to get the staff to help him remove the hook .. LOL


Jessica's unglam shot haha (sorry Jess!) .. she looked quite freaked out holding the prawn. Look at the long legs she is pinching .. they bite! Oh and Tian did not handle any prawn that night so I guess we must applaud Jess for being so gutsy haha =)

Towards the end of the session, when we were getting bored .. so just stoning around and posing for the camera

All of us with our combined catch .. about 30 prawns in total. Went to Roy's place to steam the prawns so that we can have them while they are fresh =)

Yeah and the prawns tasted .. FRESH! SHIOKS

Updates.. finally

Well after a 4 month absence at blogging, I thought its time I should update my blog a bit since some of my friends are complaining that I 'shamelessly' publicise my blog address on my MSN nick but never bother to update haha =)

Nothing interesting ever since I got back from SEP, life goes on as usual. Some of the things I was busy with the past few months:

1. Final Year Project: Doing a project on bead based microarrays. Basically it is a super boring experiment and I just monotonously repeat the same procedure every day. Mount beads on a gel pad, react with analyte followed with fluorescence dye then take pictures. Sounds boring huh =( Taking up whatever free time I have from Mondays to Fridays .. just when I thought I could have a 3 day week this semester

2. Fencing: Trainings every Tuesday and Thursday. Totally enjoy it because it is a time for me to relieve stress and thrash some people on the fencing piste haha .. ok just joking. Been busy helping Jason with training up the newcomers and hopefully we would be able to win some medals in the coming novices competition. Of course, not forgetting the new found friends and their great company (this is dedicated to Celeste cos she will be reading my blog haha) and the ever BHB Wei Lun who never fails to praise himself ....

3. Going out: Yes I still have a life despite spending my weekdays in school!! Watching movies, gymming, dinner, mahjong sessions, etc ..

Some highlights:
Went to Mambo with Xiaoli (who wanted to intro some of her friends to me) and SEP people, Jason and Wei Lun during the mid sem break after a long absence at clubbing and it was FUN haha =) Met a lot of friends there that night cos it was NUS and NTU holidays .. and I must say that the music was good!

Going to a club @ Tanjong Pagar with my army friends one of the Saturdays .. drank a lot and lost my handphone on the cab =(

Playing mahjong with Tian, Jess and ZJ and losing all the way .. resulting in myself being bankrupt when it was "Nan Feng" and a total of 50 dollar loss =( Luckily Tian gave me a 50% discount to soften the impact

Going to pub 3 Fridays in a row ... and catching 2 movies yesterday and eating Jumbo seafood with Tian & gang (we attacked 3 crabs .. deer meat .. baby squids ..lots of food)

And all these means spending $$$ .. considering that I am not giving tuition from now till December since my tuition kid's PSLE is over .. I better start saving up if I am still planning to go for my grad trip to USA next year =)

Well thats all for now folks!!
