WhaT a WorLd

read the news about this taiwanese student hacking people in the train, resulting 4 dead and 20+ others injured. 

such news arent rare, as juz today, something similar happened in the usa, where the guy just drove and shoot the passer-bys. 

but i guess, cuz taiwan is much nearer to home, the impact is bigger. 

taipei's mrt... something so familiar to us..... imagine.. u, me.. or our loved ones could be in the train. 

how 冤枉 can it be, to kenna hacked to death, by some mad fellow like that. 

my heart goes out to the dead and injured. 

and to the prepatrator - may u die a million times in hell. 

PraWning & FishinG

ok, I know im lagging, but yes, this was the 1st time I tried out prawning in sg.

we did prawning in Taiwan's night markets before, but it was less sophisticated. the pond was much much smaller, or rather, it was not a pond, it was just big trays of water. we could see the prawns clearly in the water, and we just use the hooks to hook them.

here, we could not see the prawns at all, so no idea if there are that many prawns inside. and I tot it's quite expensive, at $18 per hour per pax. but indeed, the prawns are ultra duper big. unfortunately for us, after an hour of prawning, we got NOTHING! booohooooo... unbelievable. but we did see some who ended up with quite good catch. good for them..

and then we went for dinner and after that wanted to prawn again. but then we saw that this fishing pond was opened. yes, fishing only starts after 7pm. and so, hubb happily tried fishing.

initially, we saw this family of 4, kept passing the rod to each other and kept running around the pond. i seriously could not understand what was happening till hubb explained. apparently, the fish in the pond are ultra big. so when they got hooked, there is no way u can pull it out just by that thin rod and fishing line. most of the times, the hook will just goes off, and u have to spend money on a new rod (at $5 per rod).

so what happens is, once the fish gets hooked, do not fish it out immediately. rather, 'play along' with it and battle it till it's tired... and then.... when it stops struggling, pull it closer to you and use hand to catch it!

that was what the family was doing! even after the fish got hooked, they let it swim around freely, moving along with the fish and that's y they are passing the rod around and running around the pond like mad!

and they are real good at it! think they caught at least 5 fish! but they are very irritating also, cuz when they run around the pond, they expect u to give way to them. wtf? didn't i pay to fish as well? y should i give way to them? idiotics.

and..... when i say the fish are big, they really are BIG!

yes, hubb managed to catch one as well, which we later brought home for mum to cook.

apparently, the fish did not struggle when he caught it...there were 2 hooks on it's body..think it managed to escape previous hookings, but already tired from all the battling.. very sad...

yes... ok.... such prawnings and fishing are really very evil... i also feel very guilty after that.. haii.... 善哉善哉

shall not do it often... cruelty!!

which part of the day is your fave moment? and which part of the day is your most hated moment? ever thought about it?

for me, the most hated moment of every day, is when the 2nd last alarm goes off. yes, 2nd last. not that i have many alarm clocks, but apparently, handphones nowadays can set a few alarm timings. and yes, im one who will set like 5 alarm timings. 

when the 1st one goes off, i will secretly smile to myself that i still have 20mins more. when the 2nd goes off, it means i still have 5mins more. when the 3rd goes off, it means i have 3mins more. when the 4th one goes off, it means i have the last 4mins, before the final alarm will goes off. 

usually i will not wait till the final alarm, so, by the 4th alarm, it will already mean WAKE-UP!!! and so that's y, when the 2nd last alarm goes off, it's usually the most painful and difficult moment of the day. 

and of cuz, b/w the 1st and 4th alarm, my mind will always contemplate if im okay to go to work that day.... hoho..

ok, and so, when is the best mmt of the day?

i will say, it is after i bathed, make-up all removed, body all cleaned, in pyjamas and specs... all ready to sleep, but just slacking before sleeping..... that mmt is the best! 

so everyday, i will go through the most hated moment, and the best moment. ironically, the most hated moment is at the start of the day, while the best is at the end of the day. so much for the chinese saying that 一日之计在于晨 huh.

and so, day in day out.. and now it's already mid-may!! it's just terribly and unbelieveably  fast. 

and no more PH Is june and july... hoho.. tough period!!

and so, we have chosen the pics for our photo album. a much easier job than i thought.

we are entitled to 30 pics and that's the exact number which we chose, not one more, not one less. LOL.

truly proud of ourselves! 

actually we already went mentally prepared, telling ourselves not to add any pics. and we have discussed and knew exactly in mind how to go about choosing, so as not to deviate from the 30pics which we are entitled to. 

the end results are not bad, better than i expected. but the final number of pics presented to us was only 121. so it's really not alot to choose from, and choosing 30 pics is already 25%, so it's pretty easy-peasy. 

although the boss appears to be not very happy that we din top-up any pics.. but o well... we really do not want to spend any excess on this piece of the wedding... 

and now, just hope that they'll remain professional in their service towards us, cuz actual day is still relying on them, on make-ups, gowns, photography and videography!!! 

that's the prob with engaging the same firm for all services.. hoho

My first wedding gift and angbow =)
