ooh sorry, I realised that I haven't posted in eons.
so, here I am posting early in the morning, although you can't really say it's early anymore.
the trip to the kelong was fun! we also went to Sibu, but we went to a different one from last year.
the fishing here is better, cos the fishes are dumber. and also, the rods are better.
this one, we have about a string with six to seven hooks on it, so it's much easier to catch fish.
you just throw in some squid, no need for any real bait on the hook, just to let them gather round.
then just throw your line in and keep jiggling it about, and in about like say five to ten seconds, one minute the longest, you have fish on the hook, but not because they were stupid and bit it, but because they got stuck, or rather, pierced by the hook.
most of the fish I caught were pieced through the eye or the stomach.
only one really did go and bite the hook.
I really am not exaggerating, but I am also not saying that this is the proper way to fish,
because it definitely is not.
I caught about 15 fish, the longest being about 30 cm, which is quite good already considering that majority of the fish there is one-third the lenght and sometimes smaller, and the smallest being about 5 cm.
the small ones are disgusting - they have this mucus like substance covering them, and it's like gross. have you ever watched charlie and the chocolate factory? remember the part where willy wonka had to go and eat the mashed green caterpillars and it was all gooey? yup, just like that, also like how you pull a piece of mozzerella cheese and it stretches, just that it is transparent.
at first we were also to go snorkeling at a nearby coral reef but because some prize idiots forgot to bring their swimsuits, we couldn't go.
so we were fishing most of the time. after dinner, most of the time was spent playing mahjong :D
dad taught us how to play, and it wasn't really fair cos he kept winning.
dad won the most times and I won the second most times. :D
I found out that if I were to sit on dad's right hand side of the table, I would be able to 'suck' all his good luck, most of the time. :D
took a mighty lot of pictures, but with mum's camera, so it will depend on how long my mom takes to upload it to her computer for me to publish them here.
yups, I think this is sufficient compensation for the long time I didn't post.
so, adios, amigo!
