We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

prawning escapades yet again! i'm nt a sadist who love to hook crustaceans by their lips but prawning is indeed a good activity to do in large groups! So this is the 2nd new prawning place i've been to in a wk! It had been reported in the straits times previously. The old badminton hall in Geylany has now been converted into an indoor prawning area!
The name of the place! There are quite a number of people having cze char food there so i guess the food must be not bad! =)
us checking out the prawning rates! Chiewlin you should totally come here for your bdae! =)) I guess the rates are reasonable so nic+gillian and us juz opted for 1 hr cos when we reached there, it was in between timing, if we were to prawn for too long, we would have been mad hungry.
array of rods! The rods provided are the cheapo rods, but any rod that catches prawn is a good rod ya?=)
within the first 10mins of having our rod in, i caught a prawn, i was super excited cos as u now i'm nt very proficient in prawning, i tend to scare the prawn away in my eagerness to hook them up, so i totally swing the rod with the prawn's mouth still attached to the hook violently backwards juz like how you see people fight with the fishes when fishing. p was totally embrassed by my over reaction but he still helped me unhook the prawn anyway. i almost hurt this little girl near me with my swinging of the rod. omg! anyway, the prawn is awfully small, but our hopes are high cos it is good omen =)
but alas, our lady luck was nt on our side, the prawns were too smart to attach our baits anymore but this dude opposite us were like unhooking prawns every 5 mins or so, which made us resigned tt he is prawning all the prawns in the pond ||-_- These prawns cost $10 each!
This prawning place provides BBQ pit if you wanna have real fresh prawns, and they even have salt and satay stick for you! =) since our catch was so pathetic, we gave away the miserable looking prawns to this grandpa who ended his prawning ard the same time as us =) imo, the prawning near my hse is still the best!

went for a super tiring and boring co's dept event at bottle tree park! left ofc at 8pm and reached there at ard 9ish. they booked part of the area for 3 hrs of prawning + buffet dinner which costed us ard 1kish. the food was definitely nt awesome and i didnt bring my cam but it will suffice.
p commented tt i seemed to have lose my appetite these few days since i was sick but i've since recovered. i guess working has started to take a toll on me? the dept event ended at 11pm and it was when i truely feel EXHAUSTED. Thank god P was super kind enuff to fetch me from that place.
As my snr put it, its a plc where birds dont lay eggs. in fact the mgr and i gt lost looking for the plc despite keying the postal code into the GPS ||-_-
so.. its called Bottle Tree Park cos of these trees below! I remember reading before that the owner especially had them imported from Africa or sth. There are various activities available there and they even have a website >> bottletree.com.sg Definitely better to visit in the day cos its prettier, the place is not very well lit at night. I been there for breakfast with my family before previously and loved it! =)
If you enjoy prawn fishing as much as I do the details are below! I wonder if its cos we paid so much that the pond have so many prawn or issit that there are really so many prawns in the pond there in general, but within 1 hr i caught 3 but i felt alot of prawn biting at my bait constantly but its juz tt i'm to kancheong to fish them up such that they escaped. haha! i have yet to get the photos from that day from my mgr! will post it up if i get it! =)
