Overnight Prawning @ Farmart

Written at Saturday, April 28, 2012 | back to top

27 April 2012 - Friday

oh yeah, this was actually my first time going for prawning. pretty excited, since, you know... i like to eat prawn hahaha. meet up with the rest of my happy family at Choa Chu Kang, and did a last minute shopping at the supermarket. yea, we have to get some drinks and snacks for the later part of the night since we will be going for an overnight prawning.

and yeah, here comes the waiting at the bus stop (pickup point) for the shuttle bus. there's time interval for the bus, and we are catching the very last shuttle bus in. currently it's still 50 cents per ride, but it will be $1 starting from 1 May onwards.

a pretty short 5-10 minutes journey, and poofffff.... we are here @ Farmart!

GROUP PICTURE!

our mini shuttle bus finally arrived.

on the bus, on the way!

welcome to Farmart Centre

yeah, first thing is to have zichar dinner. let's have a super big feast together.

ordering the foods.

our ordered dishes!!!
LET'S EAT!!!!!

and next, after that we walked around the place before settling down at the prawning area. got ourselves a pretty spacious empty spot and relaxed!!

we went to rent 2 rods for the first 3 hours first. which was $60 for 2 rods in 3 hours. awww, pretty expensive sia. anyway, we were given worms and chicken heart to act as the bait to attract those hungry prawns haha. and i must say i acted like a flower pot there not wanting to touch the heart nor the worms. haha.

my god, the worms freaked me out the most. yikes! Yvonne kept freaking me out when she brought the container of worms near me!!! eeeeww, and it's always Yvonne who killed the worm, chop them in pieces and hooked it through for me. hahaha. pardon me who acted like a flower pot the whole entire night, i really scare of those worms =S

the pool of prawns!

3 hours for 2 rods = $60
time ending at 2.10am!!

with all the required materials..
let's start!!

the night has started!

and the first prawn caught by Ginnette.

woohoo a big one indeed!

prawn ah prawn, please come to mommy!

the sibei Ah Lian pose by Yvonne!

tired an sian already!

finally my first prawn caught by me at around 2am.

and soon after, all of us started to get tired. the rest of the people started leaving the place, left us resting/napping while sitting on the chair in an awkward position. you know it's so painful to sleep in a sitting position in plastic chair. neck pain, back pain, butt pain =S

and yeah, not to waste anymore time, since everyone has left. the entire place is ours! we decided to rent one more rod for another 3 hours. and so it's another $30 for it.

1 rod for 3 hours = $30

time ending at 7.30am

we shifted our fishing fengshui place to the opposite, hoping that the fengshui there is better so we can catch more prawns. lol.

group pictures!!

and soon after, Paul and Wilson failed to stay awake and one by one go zzz. looked at the way they sleep, one like zombie, one like uncle! boo to the guys! so useless. hahaha! in the end it's the girls who stayed throughout catching those prawns!

Paul and Wilson zzz-ing

looked how hardworking Yvonne and Ginnette are. still trying hard to catch

looked at the background. 2 guys sleeping *shake head*

tired to the max

no people already.

only left the 5 of us

GOOD MORNING!!

daybreak liao loh!

returned all equipment and get ready to wash and remove the legs of the prawns!

okay, i admit. it's Ginnette and Yvonne who removed them =S

TOTAL PRAWNS CAUGHT: 23

haha. Paul brought all these from home.

soy sauce, butter, sauces to bbq the prawns

BBQ them alive.

so poor thing!

lelong lelong!

a morning day starting with prawns as breakfast.

busy busy people.

haha. well, the overnight prawning ended this morning, with us eating our one night of catch. it's a pretty fun and tired experience. yeah, for me try it for once will do, the damage of $90 for money wise is pretty high. 23 prawns for $90, like wow. i can buy kilos of prawn from Sheng Siong LOL.

hahaha. but then yea, it's the happy times you spent with your friends, the catching process and the first prawn that you managed to "hook" it up that worth the price for it. anyway, it's a FUN EXPERIENCE for me! yawns... I WANT BACK MY LOST SLEEP!!!!

Drink drink @ Nightwatch

22 April 2011 - Friday

hey yo!~ it's a Friday, and the best part is... it's Good Friday, a public holiday! how wonderful!! Eugene planned like long long ago to have a drink drink session on this free day of ours, in one of a pub which he recommended. yeah, somewhere near Bugis.

had dinner first with Eugene, Seok Chin and Rui Feng lao da! haha, and then out to wait for Eugene's friend, Lynn. yea Eugene brought one of his friend to join us too! and that's when the Triple J name came about, as we introduced ourselves as Justin, Jeff and Jermine! hahaha.

walked from Bugis Junction to Nightwatch, just a very short distance, we waited for Eugene and Lynn to finish their puff first before going in. as we, the triple J, are non-smoker! yoyo..YO!~ we don't smoke, dude!~

Nightwatch

Tiger Beer tower

and it's $68 per tower

well, it can be considered as my first time drinking beer. when i hang out with my poly friends, we usually go for hard liquor, hardly go for beer, and i rarely drink okay! haha. it's normally when we went for class chalet or what then i drink, i'm not those hardcore drinkers who need to drink like every week. mai siao eh!!!~

so today was my first time trying it, so bitter for the first sip. but i don't know how i ended up finishing the whole cup of it. haha. the place was pretty interesting with lots of activities, like pool table, karaoke, shooting dart and more drink drink drink!! i can't play pool and i didn't try shooting dart before. obviously i'm targeting the karaoke, heh!~

first glass of Tiger Beer!

the guys are so pro in playing pool!

i'm so jealous!~

and after pool, obviously the next things to do is to drink. back to our table and we played poker card and dice game. Sandy, one of the girl who worked there, came to our table and joined us play . she introduced us the poker game which was pretty interesting, each card with different colour and different number, we have to do different things.

for example, the number 1 - 4 card, indicates the number of sip we have to drink. cannot remember much, but number 6 is the toilet card and number 7 is 7-up card. the rest of the number, oops... i forgotten already hahaha. and then followed by the dice game, "calling for four-six, nooo, i think you lied! open open!!" hahaha. okay, abit complicated huh! i learned quite long to fully understand how to play :)

but i love the mixing drink part. we got a chance to randomly put whatever we wanted into the half cup of beer. and the unlucky one who picked the King card, had to drink the entire cup of beer! haha.

my pigrabbit wants to drink too!

concentrating hard on the games!!

playing with poker cards!!

the ultimate sore loser, boo!

he picked up the KING!!! haha.. drink, DRINK the beer with extra mixture.

well, after a few rounds of games. we decided to proceed up to level 2 for dart shooting. the only 2 person who played before are Eugene and Rui Feng. Seok Chin and me were first time playing, and incredibly. we both scored the top 2 highest score. awesome heh!~ he got the highest, while i'm the second. not bad sia, it's our first time playing wor. hahaha.

after shooting, back down to level 1 to drink. seriously, i think Lao Da is a very good drinker. he spammed beer like plain water, and he got no impact at all. still very sober and nothing goes to him, not even a slight giddiness. for me, i already felt like floating! lol. i think he needed more alcoholic drink! haha

aim. aim. AIM!~

happily playing!~

our score!
Winner: Seok Chin
2nd: ME!!
3rd: Eugene
4th: Rui Feng lao da!!!!

karaoke was provided as well

pretty Sandy :)

i think i am half drunk!!!

me and my new friend, Lynn!

broken back mountain.
i caught them red-handed! hahah

here comes the Triple Js
Justin, Jeff and Jermine!

we cleared the second tower!

our dear Eugene was drunk and KO on the spot

seriously, like what Eugene said, he couldn't take beer. hard liquor was nothing to him, but beer made him half dead. he vomited right outside the moment we left the place. he was really drunk, so we just flagged a cab for him, and dumped him inside the cab on his own back to his home. haha.

group photo before Eugene bye bye!!

Sandy sending him off in cab.

this scene looked so dramatic sia haha.

and as for the rest of us, we were left there in the middle of the night. not early, not late at 4am. loitering around, homeless kids!! Lynn have work the following morning, and so all of us decided to take a cab and send her back to her house at Serangoon for supper/breakfast.

indeed, there's really stall opened at that hour selling beehoon/noodle/kway teow as breakfast. they were early for business, while we were partying the whole night. haha.

we walked Lynn back to her home and then the 3 of us, back to homeless kids again. stayed around at some void deck waiting for first train to operate. walked to Serangoon and all took purple line home! haha

i felt bloated now!!! off to sleep, to catch back my lost sleep!~
