Prawning with AF guys

23 Dec 2009 marked the start of the Xmas countdown, which the only thing I can recall was being deprived of sleep all the way till New Year 2010.

Yunfa organised a prawning session and we assembled at 11pm @ Bishan, without him as he ended up sick, haha. Leecher guided us (thank god for CLEAR directions from Roger and Leecher noting word-for-word in his Iphone) to the super ulu place for prawning.

The place was pretty crowded even though it was midnight on Wed night.

Leecher was uber excited, as it was his first attempt in prawning.

The props needed for a good harvest later :)

All set up and ready to go! We decided to have a competition to see who would be the champion in prawning.

Due to beginner's luck, Leecher caught his maiden prawn 10 min later.

This prawn managed to escape its fate of ending up in our stomachs, as Leecher decided to throw it back into the pond.

Yeah! I was initially bored with the waiting and was playing with my Iphone when Winston saw a tug. Pulled it up and woolah - the prawn that I have been waiting for!

Scoreboard as of 2.45am, 24 Dec 2009:

Winston/Chuanyew: 2
Leecher: 2 (1 thrown back into pool)
Yen: 0
Me: 3

Yen finally caught his prawn 5 min before we had to hand over our rods to the counter; spot the relief look on his face :)

Our harvest for the night

Preparing to BBQ the prawns on the spot

Yen, the great chef, had the honour of poking the satay sticks into the prawns *ouch*

Yen decided to teach Leecher a few tricks on BBQ-ing prawns.

The final product; which were not enough to feed our hungry stomachs that we ended up @ Jalan Kayu for prata at 4.30am in the morning. I was pleasantly surprised to bump into dear Kenneth! We finally parted ways at 5.45am while we rushed home to get ready for work & another day of celebration. My official start of a 40hr non-sleep day ....
