Cleaning inbox

I was cleaning up my e-mail inbox when I came across this old e-mail that my dad sent me... I asked for pictures of our new dogs since I never seen them... The email started has this note on it. "Open Attachment.. include one of the ugliest dog we have so far.. but barking loud..!!!"

Both dog are a now big, brown was is really fat...the bug, I have no idea... Maybe still hiding in my room... haha...

*note, bug is not actually our pet...

Fishing...

Yesh...!!! Finally got to go fishing... Chung said he'll come at 6am to pick me up for fishing... I woke up at 5.45am, which was quite early even for me.... and Guess what, he actually came early.. at 5.50am..!!! like, man, I haven't even brushed my teeth yet..!!(eventually did brush before i left) quickly got changed (well ,just wore a pair of jeans with my sleeping clothes) and hopped on the car... and my cousin said I dressed too nicely for fishing.. mmm...

Well, today, was the first time in my life I ever put so much information about fishes and fishing in one day... like a crash course on fishing.. (FISHING101).. So, first fishing spot, was a jetty. Quite a nice spot, even have holes on the jetty to put your fishing pole. Caught small fishes there.. Actually, those are the only fish we caught the whole trip.... haha...


When to another spot, further up north. This place was a bit rocky, and my line got caught on the rocks... :-( But at least this spot, there was some 'nibbling' action on the pole. Well, that's about it really, could not catch any.

We left that spot after about 2 hrs there. On the way back, my cousin decided to stop by at a vineyard. There was wine tasting. Well, he surprised me with when he said to the lady at the counter : ' let him have a wine tasting session, for 6 types'. It was quite nice. Then, after 6 taste, he asked, 'so, which one do you like?' I pointed to 2 that I quite like, then... then..!!, He said 'right, get me these two'... I had a really blur face on.. then he smiled said' So now I solved your Christmas present' haha... ah.. coolz...


Then, since 'the day was still young'... Chung said to have one last try at this spot. It was 3pm then and I wasn't a good time to fish, because it is when the fish is lest active. Chung, started collecting 'pipi', a clam like thingy...

Then, when I was reeling in my line, i felt that it was caught on something, so I asked Chung to help me with it. When he got it lose and reel it in.. got a surprise, there was a musel on the line... Never in Chung's life has he seen or heard of people catching mussel on a fishing line... Well, there is a first time for everything.... :-p

went back after 5pm, but not before stopping by at Mc D. Gosh, it's the first time in my life that I ate so much Mc D in one day. had Macers for breakfast, lunch and pre-dinner.... woah.... after I ate that Big Mac, I really wanted to go for exe.... mmm.. might go exe tomorrow... :-p

Reach home, my uncle start to clean the fish and 'pipi'... Fried small fish... yum... eat em with the bones.... 'pipi' was nice as well... with all the 'sandy' goodness in it... mmm... ate my mussel, was quite nice...




I kept the shell to remind myself about this day, when a mussel was caught with a fishing line.. hehe...

Fire starter

I was eating chips just now because I got a sudden craving of wanting something salty. (I normally won't eat chips, don't know why, just ain't my thing)... Then I remembered my cousin talking about using chips to start a fire... and, as they say, boys will be boys.. so I went and burn it an see what happens... haha...

As you can see, 35g out of 100g(35%) of it is fat... no wonder it'll burn..... Interesting...

now... got to figure out what to do till I go back to Malaysia.... :-)

Mud....

Played with mud today... (well not really mud, it's clay.. )Very nice to relax.. haha.. Reminds me of my childhood days of playing mud in the back yard and at my neighbor's place...

Beondegi

Today is Esther's 18th Birthday... went to a Korean Restaurant for lunch.... we have been joking about eating that Korean Bug thingy ever since we 1st went there to eat, we finally got it...

at 1st glance.. erm.. well just look at the pictures i posted... it ain't a pretty sight... and it seriously look like cockroaches... the taste, it's erm.. how to say.. unique.. haha... it ain't as bad as it looked, but after 2 spoon full of it, i start to get sick of it already... guess why?.. NO ONE ELSE (other than audi, guy with the white jacket) is willing to eat it... like argh...!!! come on... and and.. it ain't cheap.. it's like $15NZD, I think it is the most expensive dish on the table... mmm...


Note to everyone who wants to spend someone lunch, make sure you tell the owner that you are gonna pay.. this birthday girl of ours, went to get a drink and ended up paying for the lunch... gah.. didn't see that coming... thought she'll be busy being entertained by her friends...









Came home, tummy full.. and ain't feeling good now.. because I ate too much...

and.. guesss what?.. I went and google the bug, and found out how it looks like a live.. mmm... if i knew it looked like that, I don't think I'll try it in the 1st place.. o well... there is a frist thing for everything....

It's actually silkworm pupae. Beondegi are a popular snack food in Korean cuisine. Literally meaning "chrysalis" or "pupa" in Korean, Beondegi are steamed or boiled silkworm pupae which are seasoned and eaten as a snack.

I ain't gonna post the pic on the blog... it ain't a nice thing to see... Go check it out on the link..

Pic from the past

Found this just now.. haha..

Tree Adventures

Went to Tree Adventures... It's this place where u hang around like monkeys but it's awesome as...
1st, about that ice-cream... We were on the way to the place but we stopped at this ice-cream place.. (because the last time we attempted to go to this shop, it was closed, and it ain't near.. was like 15mins away) it's near a farm, they grow their own strawberries and then make ice-cream/smoothies with it.. was really good...

Now back to the tree adventures... this place has like courses that u have to go through and each with it's own specific challenges. Though I really like the flying foxes (note, its plural) It really reminds me of the wilderness adventure camp that I went back in 2004. But it ain't as hard as this...

The harness and all the equipment, was really coolz... makes me wanna go rock climbing again. Some parts of the course are damn high... and it ain't nice looking down.. Strangely, you'll have this constant feeling that you'll slip and fall... :-s

Well, in the end, was all good... except for those extreme wedgies that i got from using the harness... :-s

note: the people in the pic are my cousins. I don't have much pic of myself on my own camera :-(
