Very busy lately so haven't been posting my entries faithfully...

A tiring but fun labour day

Woke up real early today for Tim Sum at Hong Xin with Gerald & 2 friends. It was real crowded but we had a good time gorging ourselves =) They still have push carts and the selection is great. Really a good place to yum cha! Plus I'm trying to learn cantonese so the atmosphere and crowd gets me in the mood to practice.

After the breakfast, we decided to go shopping at Orchard. Was there the whole afternoon until another 2 friends joined us. Thereafter a friend suggested fishing and we ended up in Pasir Ris park.


I think fishing really hurts... we were fishing for 2 hours and caught no fish at all. Even "upgraded" our bait from dead fish to fresh prawns but the fishes were too smart for us! There were others who caught big fishes.. not one or two.. but a whole bag of fishes!... hmm.. thought we were supposed to have beginner's luck??!!...

Recalled my very first fishing experience in university where a friend rented a boat and brought us out to sea. It was another "fishless" experience but it was a truly unforgetable experience! We went to a neighbouring island for BBQ but it started to rain shortly after we setup the pit... we ended up BBQing in the rain with umbrella on a desserted island... what a sight! After the rain stopped, we were shocked to realise that our boat was stuck on the shore as the high tide has subsided. Haha.. truly memorable =)
