A FISHY TALE
AS SALAM,
ONCE IN A WHILE,MY CHILDREN AND I WILL MAKE AN IMPROMPTU OUTING BESIDE OUR USUAL SFF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MORE THAN HALF OF THE TOTAL CHILDREN I HAVE ARE AROUND ME AND ON NON-WORKING DAY, TOO!
SO, THIS SATURDAY EVENING WE ARE OFF TO PULAU INDAH . FISHING! MY ELDEST SON'S GREATEST HOBBY. HE HAS A LOAD COLLECTION OF FISHING RODS, MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO GO ON THIS TRIP.
AND OFF WE WENT, KILLING 2 BIRDS WITH 1 STONE, PAY A VISIT TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW WHO HAPPEN TO WORK ONSHORE, ON A WORKING BARGE FOR MACHINERY REPAIRS TO THEIR SHIPS THAT DOES RECLAMATION WORKS OFFSHORE.
THIS HAPPEN TO BE A SATURDAY EVENING AND I CALLED MY BRO-IN-LAW WHO FINISHED WORK IN AN HOUR AND IS READY TO ACCOMPANY US FOR THIS FISHY EVENING ON HIS BARGE.
OUR FISHING RACE ONLY STARTS AFTER MAGHRIB AND AFTER AN HOUR LATER WE WERE HAPPY WITH OUR CATCH. FOR AMATEURS LIKE US, WELL,WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE NUMBERS AND STARTS TO PACK UP JUST AFTER MIDNITE.
DURING THE 3 OR 4 HOURS OF FAMILY FISHING, SHRIEKS AND LAUGHTER WHEN ANYONE GOT A CATCH! IT WAS FUN AND NOT TO FORGET, MY FAMILY GOT A TASTE OF FOOD COOKED ON A BARGE BY A MALE STAFF.
DIDN'T I TELL YOU, WE EAT ALMOST ANYTHING (TOLAK BATU DAN KAYU..HEH...HEH). SO, WE WERE SERVED WITH BOILED MAGGI MEE WITH SOSEJ AND PRAWN. AND NASI CAMPUR WITH KARI DAGING, SAYUR KACANG BER-DAGING AND DAGING GORENG......FUNNY! NOW I REMEMBER, THERE'S NO FISH ON THE MENU....ADA PANTANG KOT! AND NOT TO FORGET BUAH TEMBIKAI IN BETWEEN AND HOT MILO TO FIGHT THE COLD NIGHT.
THE CHILDREN & GRANNY (I FORGOT SHE CAME TOO)HAD FUN, OUT SIZING EACH OTHER'S FISH,WHO'S BRAVE ENOUGH TO PUT 'PUNPUN' OR 'KOMPON' IN OUR DIALECT, AS BAIT! MANY PREFER FRESH PRAWN...HEH..HEH.
THE CHILDREN IS EAGER FOR ANOTHER VISIT, BUT THIS TIME WE BRING OUR OWN FOOD!
