Hmm... life for the past week was really quiet and dull. A few of my lucky friends had actually went for their vacation while some had try to earn some extra cash by working and others were so busy living their lives that they didn't even had time to get online. Sigh... how much I wished for the new semester to start now but not for it to end. Silly me, right???

Hmm... maybe I had less friends that I thought I had. The numbers of phone calls I received 2 weeks ago compared to the numbers of phone calls I received now is a clear evident. A sudden drop of almost 80%. Now that is remarkable; LOL. Anyway, I think I had forgotten to mention that there was also an 80% increase 2 weeks ago compared to the weeks before. Hahaha... I guess we'll call it even.

Hmm... I went fishing again yesterday. One thing is for sure, the fishes are back from their holidays. Hahaha. Well, it was kinda hot yesterday and I am kinda "fried"; LOL. Nevertheless, the sea was pretty calm and that is a good thing. I had to say yesterday was somewhat a lucky day. A torn up net, but 5 threadfins??? If it's not luck, then what was it... Hehehe. Coming back home with a chill box half filled with threadfins (not empty handed this time...) it felt good.

Hmm... back to college related matters. If I am not mistaken, the registration date for the Jan 09 semester is on the 30th and 31st of December. That was the info I got from Cik Aini. If you are interested to know more or want to reconfirm the date, do call the college. For the Aug 08 semester results, I am not too sure but I do believe that you will get your result on the registration date itself. That's it for now... Best of luck to everyone...

Holidays are so boring... Haiz... Rotting at home...

Funny is, I guess it is holidays for the fishes too. I went fishing lately, but to my surprise, for once... I came back empty handed. EMPTY HANDED. I had been following my dad fishing for at least 5 years now and never once did I came back empty handed. Well, everything has its first time. Where has all the luck gone to??? Most importantly, where has all the fishes gone to... ? Please come back soon, LOL.

With no fishes to catch, fishing eventually becomes boring. In order to save myself from boredom, I resorted to digging for shellfish. I am not sure of the exact name in English, but I am damn sure the Malays call it siput remis and we Chinese just call is siput. So what did we do with the siput? Well, if there is one reason I love mum's cooking is because of this siput. Hehehe. She is so good at preparing it, thick soy sauce, lots of ginger and sugar... Yummy...

They are beautiful isn't it? They are yummy too... after it is cooked and prepared by mum, Hehehe

Mum is very active lately. She has been baking cake non-stop. 2 fruit cakes and 2 butter cakes in one week. All finished up within one week. Hmm... wondering why I can't get any fatter...

Today, she made some curry puffs and damn they are tasty. And they look beautiful too. So they say you gotta serve the eye first before the mouth... Hahaha... well take a look at the curry puffs... the pastry has a very unique shell-like design...

Yummy!!! I am so gonna gain weight this hols (hopefully)

This week is not going to be a very pleasurable week. To start the week with such an issue, it is the last thing any living person would ask for. Well, what goes around comes around. It was easy for me to say back then; to just ignore comments and other's opinion. Back then, I was not the victim. Now, it's a totally different story.

Well, I can't blame others for their curiosity. I, myself did contributed to this problem. Being a loud person, I don't really care if others may hear what I have just said. Nonetheless, this, my friends, is different. This does not only involve me as it also involves another individual. I am not seeking for fame nor am I looking for glory. I pray hard to control myself. I hope I will get through this issue alive. That's if they stop what they are doing now or it's going to be their funeral. The sight of those people, I may not be a big sized guy, I may not be a street fighter but nothing beats a guy whose heart is full of rage. I, myself don't even know what I am capable of... at least when I am angry.

Well, do I sound like the green beast a.k.a the Hulk, "you don't like me when I'm angry?" LOL. Anyway, there is a statement that I have to make. If I can respect you/anyone, I hope for nothing back in return except the same kind/amount of respect given to you/anyone. I would really appreciate it if anyone or any of you guys whom I recognize and acknowledge as friends to ask me personally if you are concerned or have an interest over matters about my life. I don't need free publisity in college (enough popularity, okay?) and I certainly don't need gossips and grapevines flowing around classes. This, I beg of you; if you don't respect me, the least you can do is to respect that other individual.

This, I have to stress. I AM NOT JOKING HERE neither am I making a FOOL out of myself. Don't push it. Don't cross the borderline. Don't exceed the limit. I can tell you, you are this close to making me lose control. That my friend is the limit that you should know. Again, I am asking you nicely to stop all the nonsense you are doing. If you have your personal agenda or if it's just for fun, well read this, "GO GET A LIFE".

Okay, done talking about college and people in college. Now, time to update you guys on my recent fishing trip this past weekend. THREADFIN. I think it's their season this time of the year. A few kilos everyday, for two days. Hehehe. Allow me to show you guys a pic of the biggest threadfin I caught recently. May not be big for you guys, but it is big enough for me. =D

A few kilos. Maybe 12 kilos. Hehehe...


Biggest threadfin for the day, weighing at 600+ grams and 16 inches in length.

I have just got to love fishing. Fishing is so fun... I have been fishing for two days in a row, Saturday and Sunday. I guess dad was in good mood, LOL. On Saturday, he took me and my bro all the way to Kuala Sungai Pinang and for your info, it is further than Monkey Beach and Pantai Kerachut and it's not that polluted stinking Sungai Pinang. After setting up the boat, we set journey to this Kuala Sungai Pinang. So you would be wondering how was the boat ride. To be honest, it was kinda boring; LOL. How do you describe a ride on an Explorer F17 powered by a Suzuki 15HP outboard motor? SLOW. It took us approximately 40 minutes to reach this Kuala Sungai Pinang from the place where we parked the boat.

I have to say being a Penangite, everyone should go for a boat ride around Penang island. No words can describe it. I am speechless when we travelled so far to this Kuala Sungai Pinang, we pass by Batu Feringghi, Teluk Bahang, Monkey Beach and Pantai Kerachut. Who ever say the beaches in Penang is dirty and polluted (minus Gurney Drive)? My honest opinion, I would say Penang has one of the best beaches in Malaysia, probably the world. Anyway, once we reach there, we lay down our nets in search for baits. Our mission on Saturday, to look for grouper. As usual, bro took along all his fishing gears (show off). After getting enough baits (live prawns and cuttlefish), we proceed to fish at nearby places near rocky beaches.

So did we manage to get any grouper? Well, a lot of groupers. Not joking. Okay, maybe they aren't a kilo or two in size, we did manage to caught a lot of small groupers, baby groupers. Sigh, I am really really pissed off. I don't have a camera or at least a good camera or I would have taken lots and lots of pics. Time for me to save money to get a good water resistant camera, hehehe. After getting enough groupers, we decided that we should head home before it gets too dark. Yet again, another 40 minutes ride back. We almost didn't have enough fuel to reach Tanjung Bungah forcing us to go for a pit stop at Batu Ferringhi to refuel with a guy named Ah Boon. He is no baboon okay, he is a nice guy. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have reached home on Saturday night.

Tiredness never stop me or dad from fishing. Bro is totally knocked out after one whole day at the sea. Today, we set out to sea in search for the mullets I showed you guys that day. Well, the weather was fine in the morning, yet when it reaches mid-day, it started drizzling then raining. This is worsened by strong winds and waves. Nonetheless, we did manage to get ourselves some fish. Hehehe. Mullets of course, prawns definitely and promfets. Yupz, promfets. Let me upload the pic of the mullets and promfets I caught.

Pic of promfets I caught. This are caught, look properly and you will see the markings of the net. And look at the silver scales, they are fresh. Hehehe.

Hmm... this is a surprise. This is King of Mullets. Though only one, this King of Mullets is 14 inches in length, compared to the normal ones, 6 inches.

Before I end this post, I bet you guys had probably heard of the "electric fish". You guys had probably heard of how it will shock you with the currents generated from its body. Well, you know what, I managed to caught our very own local "electric fish". It doesn't look like a fish, it's a ray, an electric ray. Yupz, you heard me right... For your info, it is very very cute. Extremely cute. It's black in color, soft, slimy with two small tiny eyes. Hahaha. Forgive me for being so excited. This is my first encounter with an "electric ray"... I checked the Internet and based on wikipedia, it is called the finless sleeper ray under the Narkidae family. Its binomial name is Temera hardwickii, what a cute name for a cute fish. Here are two pics of the "electric ray" ...ZZZ

It is just very small, seems harmless and damn cute.
There are 2 white spots on the right and left.

Touch me and I will "surprise" you!!!

Well, that's it for now. I need to get some rest now. Dad is back to work and I am back to college. Will keep you guys updated on my next fishing trip...

Hot day. Rough sea. Strong currents. None of this is going to stop me from fishing today and I am really glad I went fishing today. Though my body is falling apart and breaking into pieces after 7 hours in the middle of the sea, it is not a big issue considering the catch I got today. Fish, prawns, mantis prawns (love it), crabs and swamp crab. Hahaha... A variety of seafood at no cost. Okay, maybe at one cost. I am getting dark, really really dark. Sunburn, LOL. Anyway, let the pics do the talking.

A snapshot of a swamp crab and a big mantis prawn I caught today.

A snapshot of flower crabs before I boil and feast on them. =)


A snapshot of the fish I caught. Name? Err... mullets??

Finally, it came to my senses that fishing is actually a great activity to do when you're free. You don't waste money, in fact you earn. Yupz, you earn money. The mullets you saw up there, guess how much is it per kilo? Its RM17.00 per kilo. Me and my dad, we managed to caught 14 kilos of that mullet. Hmm... anyway, it's not the money that attracts me. Its the fun you had on the boat, pulling in the nets and looking at all the catches. As extra, I don't even have to go to the gym to stay fit. This is the secret of how I stay fit, lots and lots of fishing...
