The trip itself falls on the 23rd Aug 07, saturday. We were supposed to meet at 6.30am for breakfast and the mini bus will come fetch us at 7am. I met JS first and QQ joined us shortly. JS was quite shag as he went out to play with Vietnam girls the night before. The poor boy slept only about 2-3 hours prior meeting us. Notice I used the word 'shag' instead of 'tired'. Well, someone told me that the word 'shag' means tired after sex. So girls, if you are reading this, please refrain yourself from using the word 'shag'. We don't want to know what you did that makes you tired.
As usual, WQ was late again. Reason given was that he don't need to take breakfast blah blah blah. Anyway the mini bus was punctual and we went to the causeway on time.
After we crossed the causeway, the driver took us to a roadside Bak kuk Teh stall in JB. (I presume we are still in JB) Initially, we don't want eat since we already took our Macdonald breakfast. But in the end, we still sccumb to the aroma and order 2 bowls. Please see picture below. I have really no idea where we are but really smell nice....
About an hour later, we reached the ferry terminal. Have to pay 2RM each for don't know what ferry tax or something. Everything was fast, not much delay. Soon, we ended up in the ferry/fastcraft/boat.
The boat ride takes about 20-30mins. So, we were able to see the Kelong in no time.
Once inside the kelong, I took a short tour around. The kelong was smaller than I expected. It occupies, about 3 basketball court. The sleeping conditions are like army style. Bunk beds, shared bathroom and basins.
The toilet is fantastic because it gives us a back to nature kind of feeling. What comes out from you goes back to the sea. The fish eats it and we eat the fishes. The floor are also made of planks with gaps in between. So you can actually see what lies beneath.
We spent the rest of the late morning trying to fish. Actually, WQ was the only one fishing and he taught me and QQ to fish. Obviously, it's quite easy but problem is, fish don't eat his bait. Why? Basically, WQ is an ambitious man. He wants to catch big fish. So he used big pieces of sotongs as baits which end up as easy meals for the small fishes.
All the meals was provided by the Kelong operators which honestly speaking, wasn't really nice. Here's a picture of the not-so-nice-but-can-eat lunch they provided. (The other meals was not taken simply because we have mood to take the pictures of it.)
After lunch, WQ managed to catch some small fishes, courtesy from me because I tied smaller sotong pieces as his baits.
Late afternoon, we went for our island hopping experience. WQ said we can go snokering. But it's a lie. The kelong doesn't provide such facilities. In the end, we went to pulau Sibu and took a swim at the clear sea. Sand was fine as well. But highlight of the day was a half naked master QQ dressed in his swimming trunks. But that's not it, in order to show off his assets, he even wore his swimming trunks 'to bak lek' so as to show the budgling manhood.
We didn't take pictures, just imagine with the picture below.
The island hopping trip started well. When we were about to go back, it starts to rain. And to add salt to the wound, the operator told us the boat will not come so early. So we stay at a small hut and sleep. After 40 mins of beauty sleep, the boat came but it was still raining. The 4 of us then walked for about 200m to the docking bay. I can't tell you how cold it is but the 4 of us were shivering as we walked. Even our normally adventurous WQ was shivering like a pussy cat.
Back at the kelong, we showered and wait for dinner. Wanted to continue our MJ but our old folks companions took the table first (plus our MJ set). It was still raining so basically we don't have the mood to fish. So we watched TV and waited for the old folks to finish.
Once they are done, we spent the rest of the night MJing until 3am..... Master QQ won the 3 of us again... Not even my Da San Yuan can beat his Chanting of the Jing Gang Jin...
QQ, JS and me woke up at around 11am. WQ woke up earlier at 7am to continue fishing. He managed to catch a tiny weeny Gorupa which he released back after. (Ambithaba, if you can't eat it, let it go...)
Basically we continue fishing and packed up when it's closed to 1pm. Poor Wenqi was nearly kicked into the water because he keep chanting his Jing Gang Jin. After our 'delicious' prawns and crabs lunch, we set back to Singapore in our boat.
WQ took a new master, rekindles his fishing desire. Watch out for his sms, he's going to lure you to buy fishing rod and accompany him to fish. Ask Henry, he was a victim....
