Fat

With the impending dateline for final year project and the coming quizzes in the coming weeks, one cannot help but hope for a miracle. Therefore, my blog’s song is dedicated to whomever that needs a stroke of hope for a miracle.

I have concluded that who ever that does project with xiao pang can only lead to obesity and feeling poorer. Wah rao… KFC, mac, pizza… These 3 food had become a regular item on my dinner list for the past few weeks. All thanks to xiao pang who ensured that his FYP group mates (and the people in the entire FAL) never go with a hungry stomach. Hahaha…

Will go going to the NTU convo ball. Marg’s table got: Marg, Piglet, RB, Von, Shu Li, Jes, KF, Marky, Nemo and Coffee Boy. Xiao Pang’s table got: Towkay, Towkay-Bu, PQ, TM, Yunru, Yunru’s fren (shit.. forgot name), Dap, Nomis, Shilong and Xiao Pang. Looking forward to having a good time erm.. eating chinese food…

Oh yah… Congrats to Adrian who left the bachelor club too. Apparently, his new found gf is one half of the only twin I know in NBS. Heh... On an unrelated note, there is now a 4 horse race for tunz-kia. Keep it up tunz, you may be able to share a table during the convo ball with all your suitors. Heh…

most important discovery for FYP

Due to boredom / tiredness / deliriousness from lack of food, xiao pang made an earth shocking discovery today while doing FYP. My FYP group and Xueren’s FYP Group are working together in ITL today when xiao pang said:

Taking the first alphabet of each of Marvin’s group members’ name:

Tianming --> T
Marvin --> M
Danlin --> D

= TAMADE!!!

Taking the first alphabet of each of my group members’ name:

Simon --> S
Huang --> H
Yunru --> Y

= SHY!!!

So combing our powers (aka captain planet style), we are TAMADE SHY!!!

Heh…

Fishing trip!!

Suddenly feeling adventurous and wanting to connect to big Mother Nature, a group of us decided to put our level of patience and love for the environment to the test – a fishing trip. Idea was conceived by Marvin and executed by Xiao Pang. Being blessed with total no sense of direction, Xiao pang made the right decision to engage the service of a boat man to steer the boat instead. Heh… The pictures are as follow and I took a long time to blog this entire episode man. =)

Boarding the boat for our fishing trip!!! Had a hard time finding the jetty as it is at some ultra "ulu" part at the West of Singapore. 

The picture above was drawn by Tianming when we were planning for this fishing trip. The picture was materialised in the picture below where we posed to make it look like the drawn pic. Unfortunately, HJ was nowhere flying off the boat. Hahaha... 

A very nice group shot just before we set off. From bottom left, clockwise: Mark aka "Marky", Huang Jie aka "Xiao Pang", Yunru, Danlin, Marvin aka "Towkay", Tianming aka "Yandao", Daphne and yours truly aka "Nomis". We were all excited and hopeful about our fishing trip. Except for Marvin and Yunru, none of us had any prior experience. Let's set off!!!! 

Xiao pang is holding our dinner. 7 x packets of canteen 2 chicken rice. Me and mark have finished our share earlier on. He wanted 18 x packets initially. Scary~ 

Woots. FYP group #1. Grp A ppl submitting final report today. We go fishing today. haha... 

Didn't realise we have 2 FYP groups on board. All looking fresh and alert at the prospect of procastinating for FYP!! 

Yunru brought her friend along and he's called Samuel. Hall 2 president some more. He also participated in some fishing World Cup in Sabah when I was in year 1 and he got 7th place or something. We were all so awed to have a professional with us. If I am not wrong, the rod that he is holding onto cost about $600. Wow... Notice the nice golden crown on top of his head. 

Sorry about this but my compact camera is too lousy to take good clear shots in low light conditions. But I guess all of us can guess what that champion is doing there. =P Can't resist a dig at him. Haha... 

Danlin scared that someone will snatch her mamee. So she is actually handing out the ration for everybody. The small packet that she is holding is for us. The big one is for herself. 

Yunru and Sameul. 

Mark and Yunru frolicking at the back of the boat. 

Samuel preparing the bait here. Much thanks to him cause without him, we will have no rods, no baits and no one to teach us how to fish. 

Our only source of entertainment, other than Tianming's crap, for the whole night. Xiao pang's property. Switches to malay and indian radio channels half of the time. The other half of the time, it was emitting weird noises. 

Love sparks flying on the boat wor~~ Woots!! No bed compartments on the small boat though. 

Me and dap at the bow of the boat. Munching hello panda and marvelling at the cleverness of the fish who refused to take our bait thus far. Now I know why ppl say eat fish will get smart.. 

Posing gamely for a shot even though it's approaching midnight and everyone is tired. Xiao pang is half dead cause supper time is approaching and he discovered that Mac does not do helicopter delivery. Heh... 

Sameul and Yunru posing with our first catch of the day. =) 

Look at the vision in his eyes, look at the calmness of him in the face of adversity, look at the cold night wind blowing at him... look at the kaya "tu" until "gao gao" bread in his hand. Yes, no mistake about it, he's our man, xiao pang. Cute and cuddly until can make all gers go weak in their knees. See? Even Yunru loves to be in the same pic with him (the woman behind him). Hee... 

Trying to hook the bait onto the hook. It was a frustrating night for all of us so far, except for the boatman and Samuel, cause we have caught a grand total of 0 fish so far. Mark and I caught a small small fish though. Marvin was super frustrated cause the fish always manage to eat half his bait or all of his bait without being caught on the hook. 

To our wildest delight and surprise, our hero Tianming caught the largest fish for our fishing trip; it easily weigh over 10kg!! He had the help of Samuel of course when reeling the fish in but Tianming appeared half dead when the fish was finally brought to the boat. Haha... I was a bit apprehensive man. Never saw such a huge fish live in my life before. The only fish I see are those in tanks or on my plate. This episode gave him the right to boast and we respectfully listened to what he had to say. Haha... 

Our Tianming, aka Yandao Goh has been newly crowned the fish prince! WHat started out as a novice trip for him turned out to be a discovery of his forte and hidden ability (other than playing maple story). All hail the fish prince! Poor xiao pang, fished for the whole night but didn't catch any fish. =( Never mind. YDG revenged for you - just look at the giant fish. 

Group shot!!! All with bleary eyes. Can you believe that Marky is heading towards national lib straight after this?!?! 

Nice group photo with our catches for the day. The newly crowned "fish prince" is seated right in front. He had the right to laugh though, cause the rest of us in the background did not catch any fish... zzzz.... 

Our total catch for the whole trip... Got to take that fish home for my mum to cook!! Oh... The gigantic fish was cut into 3 pieces and our hero of the day, yandao goh took 2 of the pieces home... 

Ahhh... The end of the journey for my first fishing trip - fish head curry!! haha... yummy yummy... Can't say that i'm a fishing man but the company did make the whole trip more fun=) Thanks for all the fish! (No pun intended) =)
