Prawn fishing

Ask you all a question out there. Imagine you plan to have a last minute BBQ in the middle of the night, where do you get FREE charcoal?

Ans: Go to Lau Pa Sa.

Here's the story........

We (Ace, Anthony, ZX, William, karen, and me) went prawn fishing on Friday night, and have a small BBQ there. We went to a 24 hours shop (shop and save) to get our stores.

It was past midnight, we wanted to have a small BBQ, and we had no charcoal. "What's the big deal", you may ask, "just go and buy loh"... But the problem is... WHERE TO GET CHARCOAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

1) Bukit Panjang...
- Shop and save's charcoal - sold out.
- 7-11 - don't have.

2) Steven Road...
- Caltex petrol kiosk - don't have.
- Esso petrol kiosk - don't have.

3) Tiong Bahru...
- 7-11 - don't have.
- another 7-11 - don't have.

4) Tanjong Pagar...
- 7-11 - don't have.

Haiz~~~

So, how do we finally got charcoal? Lau Pa Sa... Anthony made a good deal. We got the charcoal free. All he has to do is to buy some raw satay.

Hmmmm.... Buy satay, free charcoal. Good deal huh?

Imagine me driving around half the Singapore looking for some goddamm charcoal...

So, if you guys out there need some charcoals in the middle of the night, there's a good suggestion. Buy some satay at lau Pa Sa, and received free charcoals.

As William had commented, he learnt 2 lessons that night...
1) How to fish prawns.
2) Where to get charcoals in the middle of the night.

I learnt 2 more lessons...
1) Convience stores (7-11 and petrol kiosk) are not convience at all when it comes to buying charcoal.
2) Buying satay comes with a free gift.

Here are some photos taken during prawn fishing...

ZX with a rod. If you are not carefully watching the picture, you may think that he is pissing...

William with the largest catch of the night.

Anthony got the smallest catch...

Seems like Anthony, the garang one, preparing to dive into the pool to catch the prawns by hand. Which was partly correct. He did not dive, but he's trying to catch the prawns by the net basket.

And truthfully speaking, we all had great fun.
