钓虾 & Conquering TT Stretch of Road

2nd Oct

Marpig isnt blogging the events when she was back strictly according to the seq; purely bcos she want to blog the simplest and fastest entries 1st!! Otherwise, she could spend a full dae to a few daes to plan and write an entry (bcos they are mostly travel "journals")!!

Right, 2nd oct, other than wat Marpig mentioned previously, shez gonna zoom in on 钓虾 with Beenie!! Been seeing it in TVBs and felt itz kinda cool. So 巧 Beenie made the suggestion and hence the 节目 was set!!

The price plans went like (correct Marpig if shez wrong), 1 rod for 1 hour = 10 dolla, 2 hours = 20 dolla and 3 hours for 30 dolla. Beenie and Marpig took a rod for 3 hours since itz their 1st time prawn fishing and who noes wat would happen!!

PS gave Marpig a lift to the venue and as Marpig was early, she observed the pros getting on with their poles and it wasnt too diffcult really, just get sm bait onto the hook and wait for 愿者上钩!!1st step, lower the net to keep the catch... And no, in case u shared Marpigz thought, one cant use a net to scoop the prawnies although itz tempting!! Next, putting the bait onto the hook with skill :P Itz chicken heart, those bait tt were given free. The place do sell live earthworms but erm... itz not the costs Beenie and Marpig am worried bout... itz the handling of LIVE EARTHWORMS!! *shudders* Worse... piercing the poor wormy on the hook!! *bengz*Then, with skill and composure, throw the bait into the pond. Did it many times perfectly but there was once Marpig (although pic showed Beenie, cos Marpig went to call for help!!) got a bit "over-the-top" and the hook was stuck on the roof!! :P hahahahahaha Otherwise, itz really waiting patiently for prawnie to 上钩!!And wala!! Prawnie!! It was sizable with teeny claws which needed to be severed b4 one unhook the prawnie
Ttz how Marpig got rid of the claws... by stepping on them and literally pull them out!! Yeah yeah itz kinda cruel but but but!! Wat to do?! One th Beenie did best (which Marpig didnt manage to do) was to grab the prawnie firmly to unhook it!! Oh boy!! Prawnies were jumping and twitching!! *faints*
And into the net was Beeniez and Marpigz 1st catch!! In total, they caught a RECORD of 6 prawnies in 2 hours...

4th Oct

1 th Marpigz must do (again) is to conquer TT stretch of road. Which stretch u asked? Apparently only Dingko and PS noe which road Marpig am talking bout (maybe Beenie too?) Reason being therez not a lot of frens whose as crazy as Marpig who would cycle kilometers just for the sake of cycling :P

Anyw, TT stretch of road is the PCN aka Park Connector Network and more actually... starting from ECP all da way to Changi Village via the coast. Think itz bout... 20 odd km in total? Itz not a prob for Dingko and Marpig (right?!) but the dae both of them & Bro Yiz did it was too rushed as they started late (cos Marpig was late) and had to meet frens for seafd galore 2 hours later!! So itz really bia all da way, to and fro!!
The madness trio raced passed ECP, passed the aeroplanesz runways, passed the control tower and reached Changi Beach. At tt point in time, itz already like 30mins to the time for meeting up with frens for dinner!! Although the venue was in ECP, it still takes time to bia all the way back!!
Looking at the last bit o road from Changi Beach to Changi Village... Marpig could only make a painful decision; need to conquer TT stretch of road AGAIN bcos she didnt really FULLY accomplished it!! Darn!! Oh, another crazy th Marpig did in her euphoria cycling state was tt she tried to chase aeroplanes :P
Heading back to ECP to meet up with frens for seafd galore, there werent much really. Therez only chilli crabs with deep fried buns, coffee ribs, noodles with dried scalllops, kang kong (almost finished as seen in photo) and 铁板豆腐!! And therez 7 pple!! BTW, Marpig had a pint of Tiger beer and itz tasted great after a workout!! :D
