what's there to do on a friday night after a delicious thai dinner at mr yes please?
well, there's always prawn fishing (or prawn killing, as M calls it) beside the jurong bird park! my very first prawning experience turned out to be a very fruitful and therapeutic one - quite a spotaneous and fun way to spend the night really!
on the long ride there (we were in siglap, so we traveled across singapore just for the prawns)...
no wasting time...once we got to the "farm", the guys got us our rods and we immediately attacked the murky waters. i was the first to catch a prawn - super beginner's luck - but the guys soon caught up and overtook me. while it was terribly exciting everytime a victim got hooked up, a lot of our time was spent waiting...
gracie - my expert hum hooker and prawn handler - stopped reading in between helping me with doing the icky stuff (like actually touching the hum and the prawns), to try her hand at fishing.
the last 2 hours were excruciating...with very few prawns being caught by the guys...and none biting my bait at all.
the whole night was much fun though...
five to be exact! *grins proudly*
we caught a total of 20 prawns...
and the rest very kindly allowed me to take them all home so that i could surprise my mother with our innovative way of spending a friday night. she did this to them the following afternoon:
yummy!
