Fishing
Saturday, April 25, 2009
We totally sucked at fishing. The fish outsmarted us. We used McChicken bits as bait bytheway. Figured we'd tempt the fishes more that way. Guess what? The fish tugged at the bait and eventually ate it and escaped. When we pulled out the line, there was no fish and no bait. It didn't help that it was 37degrees again out at Punggol end. It was scorching and we couldn't even sit at the steps in peace. We met this guy who works at OBS Ubin as a security guard. He was nice and all. And he even wanted my book to read so that he could pass his time. I lent him the book but i generally know about his type. So I kept my conversation limited. Reka on the other hand, is an overly friendly person as everyone knows. She talks to anyone and everyone. I left her to take care of the lines while i took a stroll on the beach. By the time i came back, the two of them were having a deep conversation. Once he took the bumpboat to the island she told me she gave him her number because he said he wants to be able to talk to someone about the problems in his life and he thinks that she's a very nice girl and all. And from the way she said it, i knew she was just trying to be nice to him. Besides, Reka is someone who can never refuse anything. If she manages to refuse anything anyone says/asks, it means she really hates that person and Reka doesn't normally hate people. She can't. She's just like that. So after that guy left we got really bored. I think the weather made us feel terrible. Waited for one of Reka's friends to turn up and then we stayed for about 20mins more and left. Her friend wanted to stay a little longer but Reka and i especially, couldn't take the heat. Guess I'm still not tuned to function normally yet. My blood level is still low and i still get giddy from standing too long. We totally wore ourselves out even before we reached Punggol end. We searched the whole of Rivervale(Sengkang) for a fishing equipment shop that Reka once went to. We spent one hour doing that and it was a very scary experience because we seemed so lost. We bought ourselves a box of ice from 7/11 and that kept us concious througout cause the heat was terrible. I swear i started seeing things after 20 minutes of walking. So we eventually found this hardware shop that had everything at Rivervale Mall. Thank heavens the bus we were supposed to take passes by the mall. I don't i could have handled any more walking. I went to the SPCA after that. Promised Rev i'd go. Besides, i wanted to see some dogs for a few friends. Ended up playing with Slipper dog a lot. He's so adorable and weird. I like him because he likes slippers. How incredibly cool is that? Animals that have fetishes for certain object intrigue me. Met Rev's very sweet SPCA buddies. Gave Revv some very pretty shells i collected at the beach and then i left. I was seriously tempted to cab back but i decided against it cause i needed that money for the leggings i wanted to get.
I'm still tired from yesterday actually. Woke up this morning and my dad said we were going to Changi beach to let go of some prayer things into the sea. Picked Hariharan up from British council and went for Breakfast at Tanglin mall. I bought a Happy Meal this time cause that's all i can eat for now. And well, I'm going to tie my stomach a little because i'm very satisfied with my current body. Never thought i'd be able to beat the bulge but i did, unintentionally. So yeah after that we went to Changi, got some lunch and then came back. Met Murale to go get my leggings and contacts and then we came straight back home. The heat was terrible. My rubber bands snapped btw. The ones on my left. All gone. I'm going to get so much of scolding from my surgeon on Wednesday. Okay guys, i'm going off now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. It's back to work and school on Monday. I'm going to continue readind and listening to my Bobby McFerrin Cd. He's strange. He's good. Nights everyone! (:
LoveLots,
