5 Mullets

Finally, I managed to catch 5 mullets!  Larger size mullets.  One is fairly good size.  This time I will try eating them.

When I first cast the net, I thought I caught only one as the rest disappeared.  When I pulled up the net, I noticed the rest.  It is nice to finally catch something that I can cook.

Hot Weather Last 3 Days

It was extremely hot and I was out fishing at noon as that was the high tide time.  There are still people cycling and running along the PCN.  What is more surprising is that women are running in the hot sun!

I have not caught any big fishes yet.  So will have to keep trying my luck!

Sunburned!!

Since my arowana lost its appetite, I do not need to catch small fishes anymore.  So I go to the jetty during high tide and wait for school of fishes to swim by.  But my skills are no good and the fishes always managed to escape.  

High tide is at noon these few days.  I wait in the hot sun and is totally sunburned at the back of my neck, my hands and legs.  I wore a long sleeve t-shirt and shorts.  So my thighs and feet are totally toasted.

No Skill

I bought a new cast net as my old one was destroyed by fishermen on the night shift when it go caught by the bolt that hold the long rectangular bumper.  The bumper was loose.  Once it was catches my net, there was no way until low tide.

With my new net, I was hoping to catch bigger fishes.  During high tide, I can see the school of fishes.  However, every time I throw they escape.  My aim was not good enough, the net did not open wide enough.  So it is very disappointing.  I need plenty of luck to catch the fishes.

Start of A New Week

Monday!  B1 has gone off to work.  B3 will go to school later.  School starts later on Monday.  Really makes sense as the students and teachers need to recover from the weekend activities.

I had to send my car for repairs later as a Private Hire Driver hit me from behind.  It is start of a busy week!

NS Registration

B3 went for his NS registration this morning.  Now it is quite inconvenient.  The carpark policy has changed.  No visitor cars are allowed.  We have to park outside and walk to the main entrance and change pass.

CMPB used to be by itself.  Now it has a number of new huge building housing the different defence organisation.  It is like a huge monster.  All probably to support our defence systems and maybe also sell weapons to other countries.

B3 is Up Early

I was up at 5am and shortly thereafter, B3 was up.  However, he cooked his breakfast and take his time to eat and watch his Youtube.  He has plans to study for his exams.  It takes him some time to get in the mood.  He also take breaks to watch more Youtube.  With the internet, it is really easy to get distracted.

During my school days, all I can do is take a nap or read some fiction or totally unrelated non-fiction.  Today, I am watching Youtube the moment I get up in the morning.  The technology advances has dumb me down.

KFC

Ci Yuan hawker centre has a new Korean Fried Chicken stall.  It must be a franchise as there are several branches.  Waker Chicken has a number of reviews on the internet.  I have not tried other menu.  Half a chicken cost $14 and one chicken $27.  It is very addictive.  I have become a regular.  The chicken is crispy and sauce is not overpowering.  My boys like it especially B3. 

The chicken does not come with any side dish.  Just chicken!  So no fries or veg.  It is quite unhealthy but I keep going back.  B3 will always eat some even though he has had his regular meal.

Soy Sauce is our favorite.  The sweet and spicy or buttermilk is not bad too.  The owner is a Korean.

Good Day

I have a very productive day!  I sat at my home office for long time.  I am glad also that practising Python is not so frustrating as before. 

Early in the morning, I clear up some old plants and re-potted two plants.  At night, I collected some coffee grind and tea leaves for fertilising my plants.

I did not exercise as my back is not so good shape yesterday.  Today is a huge improvement.

What a wonderful day to be pain-free and gets lot of work done!
