Prawn

Met up with Jerlyn at Toa Payoh in the evening, waited for Ken and Darius to arrive
and reached the prawning pond at 10.40 sharp.
$30 for 3 hrs, cheap cheap. 
But I only manage to get 3 prawns for the first 3 hrs =(
It was my first time there, it was pretty good, with beer and food and the cleanest washroom I've seen among all the prawning ponds Ive been to.
but ken seem to be more interested in drinking rather than prawning. I only had like a mug and half, I am so so so afraid of drinking now.


The first prawn I got, thank God Ken is there to help unhook the prawns.
Both Darius and me get freaked out even by the sight of the wriggling prawns.



The second prawn I got was when Darius when off to the washroom.
That guy must be damn unlucky, the entire time 
he was there he did not manage to even get a single one. 
And the minute he went to the washroom, both me and ken caught one
at the same time.


Wasn't having any luck until this kind soul came along and helped me changed
my hook from the tiny one I have into a big hook and even gave me his 
baby catfish to use as baits. And even taught me to prawn, and the best part is
He gave me all his prawns =)
It was almost time and because of this, we extended for another hour.


We had 38 prawns in total, I think I caught at least 7 and Ken caught 3 and 
the rest was given by him.
Thank you kind soul!


The prawns are alive, washed and skewed.
All ready to be BBQ.


That place is pretty good, providing pits and charcoals
skewers and salt for BBQing the prawns.
DARN that Ken, he doesn't even dare to try the prawns I BBQ and
only dare try it after I ate one. It was really GOOD.


We left the place around 3.30am, 
and since we did not have to go home empty handed
we were all very satisfied and happy =)


Ken's signature act cute pose!

All this just brings back fond memories of someone. 
someone that should have been forgotten. 
Reminding me of the time he was around and we used to go prawn so often.
