Prawn Fishing

Exams are over for B1's girlfriend.  It is a public holiday today and so they decided to go for prawn fishing in Punggol.  There are two ponds.  One in Punggol Marina and the other is @Punggol.  Punggol Marina is unsheltered and cost $25 for two hours.  It also do not have any chairs for you to sit.  @Punggol is sheltered, there are chairs surrounding the ponds and have fixtures for you to put your pole.  Also there is piped-in  music.  For the privilege for fishing for three hours cost $33.  B1 and his girlfriend caught a grand total of 7 freshwater giant pincers prawns.

They brought the prawns home and mum boiled them with alcohol and ginger.    This dish is also known as drunken prawns in seafood resturants.  Prawn fishing seems quite popular.  It seems easy when other people keeps pulling out large prawns.  We stay to observe for a while and then we went off as B3 has to study for his exams.

I also go to the aquarium in Jalan Kayu and bought a silver arowana.  This time I believe it will stay in the pond as there is no way it can get out.  The nursery, halfway house for convicts(helping hands) and all the aquarium near to Jalan Kayu are gone.  The ground is being prepared.  So I suspect more houses will be built soon...
