yooo!
ytd was yet another impromptu trip to crabbing at Sungei Simpang Kiri
just incase u missed out on my previous post on the place, its here,
http://hard-hearted.blogspot.com/2009/03/trail-around-sembawangs-rural-area.html
so i cycled to chongpang with my barang barang, to meet kl for lunch there.
we went to chongpang hawker to have lunch and when we were there, i saw durians for sales!
and i love durians that comes with the original packaging a.k.a, the shells!
i dont like those packed nicely in Styrofoam boxes.
Cause when u are opening the durian, sometimes u might get surprises, secret compartment and another durian pops out!
Hahah.
so i bought 2 durians, 1 for 2bucks.
in the end i went home then eat the durian.
the yellow one was nicer! and alot of meat.
the green one, hard and quite meatless.
haha.
then we cycled all the way to the canal.
nearly died la, with all the loads and the freaking hot weather.
we finally reached and it was the lowest tide of the day?
but we found out the slipway was sealed up, meaning you cant crab over there le!
so we went to look for another part of the shoreline that we will be able to cast out our traps.
finally found some rocky place, filled with STUPID BARNACLES i hate them!
then i cast my fishing rod crab trap, and i got 2 in one flower crab!
a big one and a small one came up together!
seeing that it was productive, i went to setup my bamboo trap.
set-up one first, just in case it didnt work, cause we are like casting the traps from the shore, unlike the normal way where we cast it from jetties.
cast, retrieve, nothing.
yx : kl! this time you try cast the bamboo trap!
kl : *cast*
then after a while, i went to retrieve the bamboo trap.
yx : *pulllsss*
Pulling halfway, i saw a big lump of brown thing on my trap.
I was thinking, omg omg, is it a giant crab!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
AND YES!!
ITS a ADULT MUD CRAB lahhhhh!
my first one!
this was the pic taken at that time.
and i caught him at 2:30pm, i still remember!
it was tangled like shit on the bamboo trap and i had a hard time trying to untrap her.
OMG!
i screamed and went to shake kl’s hand and congratulated both of us lahh!
kl casted the trap and i retrieved it!
so its like both of us’s luck and effort!
then the tide kept coming up and we had to look for higher grounds.
we shifted to something which looked like a mini slipway.
then started crabbing again.
this time round, the bamboo trap wasnt working at all.
the fishing rod crab trap kept reeling in BIG BIG flower crab lor!
like one family like that, one after another.
hahah.
released the smaller ones and left with 7 good sized ones :D
this was the picture taken at home!
this mud crab DAMN fierce la.
my mum went to play with it with the tongs and the crab will go super hostile and go KIAP KIAP the tongs at lightning speed.
my bro’s GF also went to play with it and also said its super fierce!
maybe that will make me feel less sad that i’m eating her.
so fierce!
and this morning my dad called my mum and said that this SUPER fierce crab managed to escape the pail!
and the pail is like super tall la.
the standard pail size.
and the crab managed to run out!!
my dad say he saw the crab infront of my door!
(phew, luckily its locked!)
my dad say shes back for revenge!
lol.
then my dad fed her some bread and used the crab trap to cover the pail this time round.
I’m gonna eat her soon le!
My mum will be cooking chilli crab later!
:D
I still feels abit pityful when i look at the motionless crab.
But cant be helped la, finally gotten a adult mud crab, cant expect me to release u :(

Last Saturday, i had nothing to do, so i decided to MSN kl and yb to see if they are appearing offline again!
and true enough, they replied!
haha.
like their on-ness, rmb another saturday i also suddenly asked kl to go crabbing with me at yishun dam and she also ON !!
yep.
this is the little cat below my hse.
whenever i reach home from work or from outings, i’ll always make the effort to walk around my blk to find him/her and then give him/her a pat on the head and help to scratch his/her neck.
cats like people to scratch their neck!
haha.
the cat looks weird la, but she's just sleeping lah.
okay back to the day.
this pic was taken, moments before yb fell off her bicycle!
she was pretty okay la, she just said she found a blue-black on her leg after she reached home
the food that we bought from 300+400+ blks.
SATAY, CHICK WINGS, 白糖糕(mine), FRIES, BLUEBERRY MUFFIN(yb’s)
yb deleted my pictures from my cam!
cause there’s a pic of her face.
and there’s also the food !
:(
haha, kl use her knees to “kiap” the torchlights, or else we cant see what we eating la!
after the picnic dinner, we packed up and went to fish and crab!
caught a catfish.
yishun dam is like a catfish heaven la.
last trip i also got like dozens of them.
hah.
and whats more, they have poisonous fins, irritating to handle!
kl’s PAUL TWOHILL series.
Freckled Hawkfish
http://www.handlinefishing.com/whatsthisfish/asiaticglassfishes/freckledhawkfish.htm
we got like tons of this type of fish.
yb is always hiding!
i guess yb tot this pic is pretty enough, so she didnt delete this from my camera.
omg, kl look scary lah!
not any better!
hahaha. kl purposely went behind yb so that her face will appear smaller!
but the bad thing is, kl became v.dark, cause the flashlight all on yb.
haha.
got good also got bad lah.
me feeling for fish bites.
smile~
the total catch.
aiyoo!
kl keep saying she’s old already and her bones are aching and she cannot hang on anymore and wans to sleep!
haha.
crabbing was quite unsuccessful …
that is always the case, for yishun dam.
super mini thunder crab.
mud crab?
small also.
but dont understand the blue colour pincers.
doesn’t look like flower crab to me too.
haha. use the crab to scare the girls!
and the crab’s swimming legs drop off!
omg.
our bikes!
the yellow one is mine!
and the super aunty looking one with the pink plastic bag is our aunty mary’s aka pkl’s!
kudos to kl for lending her sis’s bike to yb so that this cycling thingy can be successful!
:D
it was 3:40am liao!
then you know when we cycling the forested main road back to yishun hor, the whole road was filled with flying bugs!
size like a bee or what, but its those kind of big version of light bugs.
and its everywhere near the street lights!
and i was cycling past and they will be flying damn low and hitting my face and my body and stuffs!
omg!
FREAK.
i CHIONGed all the way like a insane person lor.
and i quickly closed my mouth, just incase any managed to fly in!
YUCK!
we then cycled to mcdonald to have our breakfast?
haha.
nice la.
the feeling, having mcbreakfast at 4am+ with ur frens.
exhausted me.
fun larh.
actually i think the most enjoyable part of the outing was sitting in the mcdonald to nua and eat my hotcakes and hashbrown with the GARLIC CHILLI SAUCE!
YES its back larhh!
and the garlic smell got stronger!
and i think i LIKE IT!
:DDD
see that chilli plate on the left of my hot cake.
it’s wiped out larhh.
then we nua-ed till 5am+ so that yb will have her first bus.
then i chionged home from yishun to sembawang.
wah, super cold lor in the early morning.
but no choice, i got to work the next day and i have to wake up by 11am.
finally finished doing everything at 6:45am?
bathing and cleaning the crab traps.
so i like only slept for 4hrs?
WAhahaa it’s like such a crazy thing to do …
But still, i would rather stay till 5am then leave at 10am so that yb can catch her last bus.
when i’m typing this post, actually i already went for a 2nd crabbing session with kl!
so i’ll be updating it soon!
P/S : So touched by kl's bday post thank you msg larhh!
Didnt know she can be so sentimental also. haha.
