1st Prawning Session

Finally I had my 1st prawning session... with my usual group... minus Stephen. Everyone got at least one pull of the prawn on their rod, except ME! Even Shir got her 1st (and only) prawn too (from other people's rod). I dunno if I should put the blame on my rod, cos the prawns did ate my bait (the pig liver) and I could feel the slight tug at the end of the rod... but whenever I pull, I see no prawn. I suspected my hook could be too blunt, so I went to change another one (at the last hour out of the 3 hours we booked). But it still yields no result. Even though the others had a try with my rod, the prawns still dun get hooked. Maybe the prawn community is trying to maintain my good karma I had so far *hehe*.

Anyway, since I have poor luck in getting prawns, I try to make myself useful by helping Devon and Angie put on the "bigger" baits onto the hooks (in a cruel manner) and also help them to remove the hooked prawns from the hook. By the way, we noticed that Angie loves to toss the hooked prawns from the pond up to the roof top before tossing the poor prawn down onto the ground again *tsk tsk... bad Angie*

Ashburn is good at prawning and we gave him and Mikko all the prawns that we got (ahem... should be they, since I sucks... *sigh*). Ashburn said that he cooked them in Tomyam style and his mum said not bad.

So my 1st experience in prawning was bad... and I dun like it... cos I got nothing from that and I should have use that S$30 to buy cooked prawns to eat instead. But the time spent with them was nice thou~ (must at least say something good from the gathering mah)
