Prawn Fishing

I have never tried prawn fishing with my friends before till few days ago. The first time I tried prawn fishing was with my cousins at Kenyalang Park. Few days ago, I went prawn fishing with my friends as my second time. As for my 3 friends, it was their first time. haha We went to Kenyalang Park as early as 9.30am as all of us were looking forward to it. We felt disappointed to find the shop closed. Not giving up, we went to another shop at Chonglin Park. It was closed too and at that moment, we felt really disappointed. So much of us being excited to fish for prawns. I didn't want to give up yet so I called my cousin to ask whether Wednesday was a holiday for the prawn fishing shops. It wasn't and we all could not think of a reason why they were closed. Maybe they didn't have any prawns. Haha Anyway, my cousin asked me to try another shop at Tabuan Laru. He told me that the prawns there were much bigger too. Feeling slightly happier, we drove there and guess what? It was opened!! haha



The first thing the lady did for us was chopping the big fat worms into small pieces and putting them on a plate for us as the bait.


The finely chopped worms.


Those nets were for us to put our prawns in after catching them.


Prawn fishing is apparently an almost all-male event with the exception of the 4 of us.

Anyway, besides being the only girls there, we were the noisiest of all too. Whenever we managed to catch a prawn, it was like a big announcement to everyone around us. The way we reacted caused everyone around us to look at us. Like screaming when we managed to pull the rod up and there was a big prawn. Not only that, asking each other to take pictures of the prawn whenever we caught one. No one around us did that. Whenever they managed to catch one, they just quietly put the prawn into their nets. As for us, we pulled the rods up and we didn't dare to take the prawns so we had to ask the lady to help us for every prawn we caught. Despite the fact that it was our first time and we didn't dare to hold the prawns, we were really lucky. The people around us said that too. We caught 7 prawns in the end. Well, actually it should be 9. 1 jumped off from the net and another went off when we tried to catch it from the water surface using our hands. That was actually a free catch for us because it was really at the water surface. I bet the guys would have just put their hands in to grab it but for us, we didn't dare to do that. We took so long to decide whose hands to be in and when Xu Vin finally put her hands in, the prawn disappeared. Haha

Amanda and I



It was worth it for us till the lady asked us whether it was our first time. When we told her it was indeed our first time, she said we were lucky. Probably that was why she disappeared and we couldn't find her when we needed her help to put the prawn we caught again into the net. That was why the prawn jumped out from the net as we didn't know how to put it in properly.


Soon, an hour was over and it was time for us to leave.


We brought the prawns back to Amanda's house and her mum cooked for us.


The prawns were delicious!! =D

Gathering at Hai Pa Wang

Some of my ex classmates are back for holidays now, some are studying here and some of them including myself will be leaving soon for further studies so we had a gathering last sunday night at Hai Pa Wang. We booked two tables. One was for those who wanted to eat crabs and the other one was for those who didn't want to eat crabs. Haha It was a great time to catch up with each other and talk about the good old days.


Table with crabs


Table without crabs


Two people had to share one crab. I only know how to eat the pincers so when I shared the crab with Li Hwa, I had one of the pincers and the rest was for her.


Crystal could not wait to eat her crab..


Amanda and May


Me, Li Hwa and Edward

Yeah, I know "sakai" people like us kept taking pictures with the crabs before eating them. haha



Pauline, me, Audrey and Michelle

Enter-K

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to go to Enter-K at Crown Towers for karaoke. There were 4 of us : Xu Vin, Li Hwa, Amanda and I. Well, we only paid rm15 nett each after showing our student cards to the lady at the counter.





Our lunch and drinks were included.













We started singing at 11.30am. We sang mostly English songs and for most of them, we were more to shouting instead of singing. Haha We shouted and sang so loud that people who were outside tried to look into our room. Amanda and Xu Vin even sang Siti Nurhaliza's songs.


The lyrics looked wrong.


Cheers!

After singing too many English songs, we tried singing songs in other languages like Chinese, Hokkien and Spanish but we were actually just making a big fool out of ourselves because we didn't know to read most of the words. After a while, the waiter served us the free drinks and food that we ordered.


We tried singing "Qi Li Xiang" but it was horrible.

We eventually got tired after singing for hours and we started to take stupid pictures in the room.


We wore the bucket as a hat.


We took pictures of us trying to sing like superstars while waving our hands to our imaginary fans. haha I even wore Amanda's lalat shades to sing in the dark.





We ended our 3 and a half hours karaoke by singing "Everytime we touch" by Cascada till it was 3.00pm. We kept repeating that song for more than 5 times. We became extra hyperactive too and we started to jump around in the room. haha




Xu Vin lost her stamina. Haha


She ended up playing with her phone.

It was indeed a fun but tiring day for all the of us.

3 Apples A Day Keeps 3 Doctors Away

Last night, my neighbour, Johnson walked over to my house to give me 3 different types of apples that he bought after i came back from church and dinner. He told me fruits were important to us and "3 Apples A Day Keeps 3 Doctors Away". Haha =D






Anyway, it is now known as 2 good apples and 1 rotten apple because I have eaten one.

Lunch At Xu Vin's House

Two days ago, Xu Vin prepared lunch on her own at home and when she found out I didn't have any lunch on that day, she was very nice to invite me over to have lunch with her after that. =D
She cooked vegetables and fish curry. The curry was a green curry. It is unique because you cannot find the green curry paste over here in East Malaysia. Hehe


Fish curry


Mixed Vegetables


Cabbage


Oranges as dessert

I enjoyed eating Xu Vin's home cook lunch. =D
