sentosa

Went prawning on Sunday night at Bukit Batok Nature Park - silent and dark, the place really did give me the creeps, even though there were 5 of us in total. Didn't help that Kenny had to tell us that scary experience her friend had whilst she was in the park.

Anyways, pretty soon, I overcame the dark with the excitement of catching my very first prawn. I actually managed to pull the prawn out with my hook alone, cos usually we would trap the prawn into a net with the bait. However, I was alone when I pulled the prawn up, and I was so excited I put it on a rock. I wasn't brave enough to try risking a pinch from its claws by picking it up with my bare hands. So I had to watch with disappointment as it ran back into the waters and hid under a rock.

Yelled for Dan but he came too late and once again, we started on catching that prawn again. And we did manage to catch it, this time with the net, so that it won't be able to run off again! Hehe... so happy...

It was soon 1am and since Dan and I were going to Sentosa the next day, we left first.

Sentosa with Weite, Wei Xian, Chen Mei, and Wing, later joined by Irene and her friend Ronnie. It was fun - kayak-ed a little and introduced Chen Mei to kayaking. Haha... quite funny cos she's a newbie at kayaking, so she was quite nervous, scared that the kayak would capsize. But pretty soon she got the hang of it, even though she went through a tiny incident where she kayaked too near to a caucasian family, and she was teased by them.

After which, we played some 'monkey' in the water and played with a frisbee too... quite fun, though all the salt water didn't help with my cold. At the end of the tiring day, we were heading to the loo to shower and as usual, the ladies was packed with people queueing to shower. I think we were in line for almost an hour before we got to shower and the worst thing? We had to wait after we got shower cos it was pouring outside. When the rain lightened to a drizzle, we made our way to the carpark under the cover of our towels and made our way back to Bukit Batok.

And now? I'm nursing a cold so with a heavy head and an aching body, off I go to have my lunch.
