Date: 13 Feb 2010, Saturday
Location: Of cause is Alfonso's house, Kuching

We went to look for the new furniture for our Bridal Room. We went through 3 warehouses.... I suggested go for more warehouse before buy it... end up we went back to the 1st warehouse :p

We choose the cheapest bed set since we are not stay here often. Maybe just 2 or 3 times in a year. 1 bed frame, 2 doors wardrobe, 1 hair dress table... come with 5" mattress, 2 pillow & 1 booster. Guess... how much all of these?... only RM899, hehe.

Go Fishing!

Fish Pond Location: Gettak Sanggul (... very sankala one... another end of Penang Island)
Date: 31 Jan 2010, Sunday.
01 Feb 2010, Monday is replacement holiday of Thaipusam

PART 1



Alfonso was doing his preparation.... weight, checked! hook, checked!... blah blah blah.


Here we are.... after ~1 hour journey... we reached the destination at 2:45pm. Around it... it is neighborhood area without fence... old kampung style... can feel the harmony among each other.


Pay before 'play'... 10 buck for 1 hour... minimum 3 hours and deposit 20 bucks. Supposingly, total RM50... but don't know why Ah Ma asked for RM51.


no beverage or snack to be bought by yourself.... see... here got selling. Unless you want to eat Hokkien Mee, Abalone soup, bird nest.... eee... i think they do cook it if you want... because they do have a restaurant here. Actually you can pass your fish to them and they will cook for you.


Entrance...


These are the pondok for you to fishing...


Another view...


Come closer.... it is simple...
We simply choose one of the pondok and start out today activity...


Nice view here... hill, lake, blue sky... wow... enjoy~
This is the entrance that we passed just now. I took this picture from pondok.

PART 2

Small size prawns... bought from market... we bought RM5 which is too much... 1 kg = RM12... We just brought 1/3.. the rest stored in the fridge for tomorrow cook if today we got a fish... yeah~



"Fishes, fishes.... this is your favorite food oh... let me feed u.... "


"Fishes... here I COME loooo..."


Holding the fishing rod whole day... tired... put it down 1st...


Let me do some reading while waiting you visit... haha...


"Come on... come on... fishes... I miss YOU"


"Haha... I know you will like the food that I special for you!"


"Yeah ~ my 1st trophy of the day... yeppy!!!"


"Let me help you to take out the 'devil' which make you pain inside your mouth"


"Fish fish... don't jump... I can't take the hook out!"


"Opps... too bad.... the hook is sticked too inside of your mouth... I can't take it out... so sorry"


"I have to leave the hook inside your mouth 1st and cut the string"

We have no ideal what kind of fish of this... Ikan putih bawal? Well, we had spent almost 2 hours to wait for this fish coming. Alfonso was so excited... he thought today would "go back home with 2 empty hands". Well, his semangat mari already... keep it up!

Wait... wait... wait... come on... almost time's up liao ~

"Yahoo0... another fish is on my rod now!!!" Alfonso screamed after he washing his hand over another pondok. He so so excited... well, I were answering the call from Ideal Wedding. He put more hard and try to get the fish.... he saw it! he saw it! Just in front of him... it was closed the fish pond edge. I were trying the take his HP and record it in video while answering my phone call. Well... ... ... ... ... ... ... the fish was escaped from his rod successfully (-_-)||| Alfonso was so susah hati T_T... keep thinking why why why... why its gone? He saw that is Ikan Siakap. Well, he was almost running out of time... he 'install' again since the string was broken... weight, hook and that connection were gone. At last, we decided not going to fishing again since time's up... and we would not to take extra hour for it. Well, we brought the only one trophy going back hope. On the way back... he still feel 不甘心. Ya, I understand it... never mind la... one another enough for us for tomorrow cook liao... not bad what... hehe.
