Happy 1 yr and 7th mth Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Tootsie :)

Thank u dear dear for buying me a carebear and a lovely ring that caught my eyes. *Blink*

Darling was telling me every girls must have a carebear and he bought me this carebear with a clove leaf on her stomach (gd luck for work).

With that, Clovey my Carebear is born on 300608, 2 days before our anni (She is now my 4th baby after Giggly, Piggy, Dale and Clovey) . Dinner at my favourite park too :) More pics on our dinner venue coming up soon. (* patiently waiting for darling to send me the pic, tap tap tap*)

That's Clovey and the ring on her head

Love Mrs Tootsie

Happy Belated Daddy's day :)

As promised, today both darling tootsie & I met up with my parents and bro for a treat at Tonkichi, Isetan Scouts after our Jap lesson. I decided to treat my family (my sis cant make it) for a Jap meal becuz my parents have never eaten Jap food before...they are just "mountain tortoise" (Sua Gu). hahaha

So after dinner, we shopped awhile at the mall and I suggested to Mr Tootsie to bring my parents to east coast to "lim kopi" at O town. It was a pretty enjoyable nite which I felt happy :)
keke ...I want my parents to try those eating places that we, this young generation, have been to...instead of bringing them to those standard places that they have been before...eg...seafood lar...zi cha lar....so borringggg...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......Papa Mama....I shall bring u to more interesting places :)

Alrightey thats abt it...I am feeling so full now ...burrrp.....

Sedili Fishing Trip

So over the weekend, I left Mrs Tootsie at home and went with the guys to Sedili for a fishing trip.

It'll be crazy to bring her along as..

1) We just pee into the ocean.. so where is she gona pee?
2) I'll have to help her put the bait on the hook which will eat into my precious fishing time.
3) She will not dare to eat the food as utensils are just washed with sea water and we eat with our hands.
4) We did not bathe for almost 2 days.
5) "The guys will scold you for bringing a gal along as it is said that a gal on the boat will affect the no. of fishes land" (This is what my Dad said)

It was a 2 day 1 night trip. I woke up at 5.30am, pick up Qing Di and went down to a friend's place where he picked us up and head towards Malaysia.

It was about an hours trip from Malaysia to the Sedili Port.

From there, we load in our equipment and set off to fish!

We were really anticipating catching all the big fishes so it was pretty disappointing when we had to wait another hour or so before we reach our destination.

Once we reached, we began fishing IMMEDIATELY. The start was good. A friend caught a huge parrot fish and soon followed by another who caught a pretty big duno-what fish. I was like "ho sey liao. Get ready to land the big fishes"

But it was not meant to be.. :(

Fish just doesn't come to me. My friends were like catching fishes after fishes. But nothing bite my bait!!

I had 2 rod. One I left it to catch big fish while the other I play with it using Apollo hooks to catch small fishes. My "big fish" rod only caught one fish.. which was this..

But it was an injured one. I think I did not pull it up when it was hooked and it was bitten by some bigger fishes. The fish that bit this fish must be a huge one we reckon.

My other rod which was used to catch smaller fishes caught even bigger fish than my catch-big-fish rod! About table size fish(about 20cm)

One of the beautiful fish I caught

The boatman was telling us the best time to catch big fishes was at 6-7pm and early morning 4-5am. So we had our dinner first..

Finally dinner is really!

After eating, we continued fishing but the weather was disappointing. A storm came and soon we had to hide in the shelter. Raining means cold, cold means no fish. So we couldn't fish overnight and when early morning came, the catch was bad too.

But nevertheless, this is what we end up with..

Some of our bigger catch

Overall it was not a good caught because of weather but it was fun because of the company.. and also because we had a fish feast after that. I'll let the pictures do the talking..

Germain is some Sichuan style

Parrot fish with preserved turnip

Misc fishes in thai style

Sotong in Assam

Misc fishes in black bean style

And the end result of the feast..

Sedap!

Prawning

While waiting for my car to be serviced, I went to the prawn pond in bishan with Qing Di for an hour of prawning. Catch was really bad. Caught like only 8 prawns between the 2 of us. What was most gek was this uncle beside me who caught like one every 3 mins. Really pro man! Best I ever seen.

He uses his own rod which extends all the way to the centre of the pond where all the prawns are. And he uses the bigger type of hook and also different type of bait from us. I'm guessing that is earthworm?

What was comforting is I caught the biggest prawn ever in my short prawning career (3 times so far)

There.. I compared it to my slipper (I'm a size UK 8). While trying to remove the hook, I almost got snapped by the claws. Luckily it bit the front of my slipper and not my toes!! I think I created quite a scene trying to remove the hook that one lau jiao uncle came to teach me how.. by holding the claws backwards.

Qing Di mention that he heard that in the forums, people are saying this is the normal size in Taman Jurong. But also heard they release less prawns though. But I went with Mrs Tootsie once to recce Taman Jurong and in that 10 mins I was there. Nobody caught anything. People in the forum are recommending FW3 though so maybe I'll make a trip there some time.

I took my biggest catch home and dump it into my instant noodles for dinner.

Fat and Juicy Prawn

Yummy!!
