I woke up feeling rather wasted. i did not go and drink. I am not the sort that enjoys the company of alcohols , i simply love to use it instead. ahhem. Anyway, read in between the lines and you'd understand .Truth is , i went fishing with ah lai's cousin, he is a nice chap. I like talking to him, but like some other people i know, he always like to have the winning end in terms of argument or point of view. I dont find that irritating , just amusing why some people are so adamant about views.
yesterday is really zero fighter man, no bite cept for catfishes. I dont take catfish as a real fish. I dont like it at all. Many people say that once a cat fish bites your hook/bait, you gotta change the rig because catfish has a certan slim and other fishes wont like it. how true that is , i wonder.
Anyway , back to my first comment on me feeling wasted.. I fished the entire night , and into the morning and i didnt get anything, on top of that , i wasted time , and energy . I also have to take into consideration about transport in the morning for sometimes when i cant take it , i take a cab back home from Bedok and the trip itself will cost about $22 dollars.
Let me do some calculations:
Live prawns: 12
Dead Prawns: 3
Water : 1.15
Food : 6.50
If Edwin (lai's cousin) didnt give me a ride down : Taxi 22
Taxi back home : 22
Rough total spent for a 1 day fishing expedition : $66.65
And totals hours spent : 7 hours.
Tell me am i wasting my time or should i plan it in such a way where i go when the tide is upcoming and leave when the tide is gone ?
When i was younger i am sure i wouldnt have gone into fishing , it is clearly a money sucking sport/game what ever u call it. I was so much more objective driven when i was in poly days . What happened to that me ? ):
Remember abt me wanting to get the bike license ? Till now i've only went for 1 lesson . And the CAAS paper ? I failed the first one and i didnt dare to retake . Also the bomb stand for GSE, i also was so enthu in the first place and now, it is nowhere . I need to put my life in place and put things right.
First thing i can do is to pack . Start packing my stuff - fishing, biking, archery. I have so many archery stuff which i dont even do it now. Its been left in a corner to collect dust. I feel so sad to see it there. Time to give/sell it away. Looking at how much i've spent into the sport, i feel a little heartache parting with it. sigh... but what have to go has to.

My mouth still hurts ): i wanna get well soon and i want so much for that hole to heal up. I cant eat anything hard still ): darn, it made me realised how important is eating and having a healthy set of teeth.
It was my first time at 1 Aviation Drive. I keep spelling 'Aviation' wrongly as a result i was almost late for the exam because the taxi driver couldnt find the place where i wanted to go. It was quite AFTC, where they have computer booths and you sit in them taking ur exams. Between u and the other people, its a layer of translucent plastic. You cant quite make up how the person look, or how the screen look . Air-conditioned place and it is very comfortable.
Results for M08 were out and it was posted that i failed. I remembered clearly that it was a 75% pass. There was 20 qns and i had 4 wrong. Do the maths - how can i be lower then your 75% mark ? ): I emailed them, cant wait for their replies.
This is an overdue picture which i was supposed to post up a few weeks back. i went to hunt some good lens with Wymen and he got the Tamron 2.8 18-50mm. It was a good lens, he managed to get a 2nd one.
Did some test shots on his Nikon D7000 and it was pretty good. I love the quite shutter sound. makes me a lot more stealthier. I like Nikon's built in HDR. ): It is a function that i would really like to have.
