unkle grumps.

well, haven't updated in awhile.. lets see what happened..

wednesday: went fishing in the morning with soon, chai and peter.. in all, we caught about 60 fishes!!!!! yes, you heard me right, 60! but we threw away some of the small ones and kept the big ones.. brought them back to fosters where i had to de-scale about 25 freaking fishes!!! i hate de-scaling fishes!! anyway, soon cooked them all.. deep-fried, and baked 2 different kinds.. here are some delicious pictures of the fishes..

johnny doing the final touches of de-scaling.. haha!

later at night, had a drink over at walas with kim and squid.. had like 3 pints and man, was i high.. i know, 3 pints is damn little, but sometimes it depends.. i'm not sure when, but sometimes i can drink a lil bit and get high, and sometimes i can drink a hell lot and not get high.. well, walas was alright as usual.. enjoying ngak's band's music.. headed to crystal jade for some supper which i barely remember as i was like spinning.. thats all i can remember.. here are some zany pictures of the night..

friday: met ah po and peter neo for drinks at eski bar.. kim, squid and danielle joined us.. i got soooo drunk man.. BUT, i didn't puke.. surprisingly.. had like 5 1/2 pints of erdinger and 1/2 a pint of guiness, 2 glasses of red wine, and that saw me sleeping on a bench at fosters.. took some pictures before that fateful moment.. danielle, if you're reading this, please please send me the pictures.. thank you sooo much! here are some pictures that i took..

saturday: work work work.. woke up with a bloody hangover.. couldn't go fishing at first.. had a terrible headache.. but in the end, i woke up a lil later and surprised the fishing crew by appearing at yishun jetty.. haha.. well, its the second last day of work and counting.. lots of wierd thing we did while there weren't any customers.. here are some pictures.. i basically took an axe and started chopping everyone in sight!

here's a pic of me and karen sharon.

tomorrow, can't wait for the gathering of all my lovelies for my farewell drinks over at eski bar!!

went to yishun jetty to fish this morning.. was fun, caught a few fishes.. but first, we went into the "longkang" to catch small prawns to be used as bait, after that, we fished.. by 1pm, peter neo and chai had to leave for fosters, and we had already caught 15 fishes in total.. thats alot! here's a picture.

went home, gave the neighbour 11 fishes, and kept 4.. man, de-scaling's a bitch.. pricked myself a few times on my fingers and there was blood.. but hard work's been paid off.. mom stir fried the 4 fishes and oven baked the big mangrove jack.. wow the mangrove jack's meat is awesome.. here's some pics i took..

here's what the mangrove jack looks like after being oven baked.

see how juicy and tasty the meat looks. mmmmm...

here's the stir fried fishes.. ate them all!

just came back from work, and am like dead tired.. man i'm gonna sleeeeep!!!

just realised that the fish i caught wasn't a sand perch, but a mangrove jack.. haha.. not too sure also, thats what my friend says.. anyway, going fishing again tomorrow morning at yishun jetty.. can't wait!

just got back from fishing at pasir ris. man, it was fun. met soon, peter neo and jason at yishun interchange at 6.45am, then we took a bus to pasir ris. started fishing at around 7.30am. half the day, we were facing the sun, and yes, i got a singlet tan AGAIN!

well, for the first few hours, we did not catch anything other than jason fishing small fishes. then peter neo caught a red snapper. a decent size, around 1 kg. then peter neo caught a red snapper AGAIN, around the same size as the previous one. then peter neo caught ANOTHER red snapper, around the same size as the others. and so, peter neo caught 3 red snappers, the rest of us caught none. okay, the first red snapper, peter reeled it up himself. the second one, he was busy sleeping, so i reeled it up, first time. the third time, jason reeled it. fun.

a few hours passed, no fish. johnny came to visit us, bought lunch for us and brought hot coffee. man, he's a damn thoughtful guy. he actually came to see us catch some fishes, but none when he was around. when he left, a few hours later around 3.30pm - 4pm, i caught a fish, man was i overjoyed! i reeled it up and voila! caught a sand perch. a member of the sea bass family. actually i didn't know what fish it was until i came home and did a small research. and the fish i caught looked exactly like this. here are some random pictures i took, well, only 4 pictures.

my rod. heh heh

me, paying attention to my rod to see if i got a bite.

and finally i caught a fish!!!!! wooohoooo!! virgin no more!!

the fishes we caught. 3 red snappers and a sand perch.

i was so happy after i caught the fish. its an awesome feeling, really, seriously, awesome. will be fishing again soon!

P.S. if some of you dirty minded people are thinking that what i'm saying sounds obscene, e.g. paying attention to my rod to see if i got a bite, my rod is not a virgin anymore, blah blah, well, to tell you the truth, it IS meant to sound obscene but is not obscene. whatever.

ooo.. damn i'm too lazy to update..

what have i been doing recently? thats what everyone have been asking me.. ever since i've quit school, i've been just working my ass off.. pay's like shit but oh well, can't complain when you've already got a job and you're earning for your own living and expenses..

said in my previous posts that i've been training, yeah.. at that time.. got lazy soon after writing that post.. haven't been to training, haven't done anything productive in the last few months.. belly's not going down, not making it go down either.. haha.. shit..

had a match against Strathallan College, Scotland, yesterday.. played like shit.. let 2 tries in.. both i got side-stepped.. one from a hooker, who looks twice my size, 5 years younger than me, playing for Scotland U-18s.. wtf do you expect? damn.. got fucked by damian real bad.. in front of the whole team too.. man, i'm gonna quit playing contact rugby.. either touch rugby or no rugby for me..

been thinking about what i'm doing with my life.. although i've said that i wanna study at School of Audio Engineering (SAE), but its just words, no actions.. did not look it up over the net, no research done.. sigh.. my driving license.. started more than a year ago, halfway done.. braces, since cavemen existed, don't wanna talk about it.. studying in poly, dropped out half-way.. fuck everything is just half-way.. my whole bloody life is a half-way.. grrr.. wake up brandon!

i dun mind picking up a new sport, like fishing.. sounds relaxing.. haha.. or maybe golf, which i've played a few times, but haven't gone for any lessons or tests, no handicap yet.. argh!! haven't been practising the guitar too.. rusty rusty rusty!!! my whole body's RUSTY to do anything!

for sure next week, its just gym and swim everyday.. well maybe it'll go on for just a few days (haha), but i'm gonna try and be more disciplined, like i never was..

world cup semi finals are coming, in a few hours.. Germany vs Italy.. i'd say Italy will win.. and France for the other semis.. it'll be a France vs Italy Finals.. just what i feel although every single one of you disagree with me.. i'm sticking to my gut feeling..

gonna try and catch some winks before the match.. gotta work in the morning later.. fucking tired.. zzzzz
