Prawning seem to be like almost everyone's favourite hobby now. I read it on some blogs, i've heard friends asking each other if they wanna go prawning together late at night etc. It's like, "Nothing to do ah? Go prawning lor. Can waste time, and got prawn to eat somemore" So finally IT'S MY TURN.
Decided to head over to the one at Bishan, recommended by Jiaqi.
1 hour $15. 2 hours $25. 3 hours $30. Anyone would go for the 3 hrs obviously. 1 hour catch what?
Gave us this
The hook is REALLY sharp. While hooking the bait, i accidentally pierce it into my finger. #FML
Josh's friends came to join us about 20 mins later and once they put their rod into the pool...
ONE OF THEM CAUGHT A FREAKIN' HUGE PRAWN.
While we caught nothing for the past 20 mins!!! Why like this one?!

Still no hope. No movement for 20 mins... So i decided to...
Ordered prata and wait for the prawn to auto hook onto the bait. LOLOLOLOL
WOOHOOOO LOOK AT THAT BIG CATCH!!!!
Ok, this is the actual catch. The previous photo was photoshop-ed -____-
Jing long's first catch. If never look at the photo properly, might not even spot the prawn lor, LOL
While the guy tries their best to catch, the girl just have to wait to pose for the photo! AHAHAHA
Ok, finally a decent size prawn! 3 cheers for Josh! I just realised our tee is somewhat similar!
Amazed by my camera's macro function.
I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE DECENT LOOKING ONE!!!!! MUAHAHAHHA
After around 2 hours plus, this is the amount of prawns that we caught. Josh commented that this is so far his worst catch throughout his "prawning days" Why we no beginner luck one?!
Now here comes the drama. Jing long wanted to see how many prawns we caught in total so he lifted up the net basket out of the water to see see but he DID NOT hook it back properly. As a result, the whole basket disappeared into the water! AHAHHAHAHAHA
Then we tried to "fish" the net out from the water! After several attempts, we finally managed to retrieve the basket but guess what? There were only 2 prawns left. Why didn't the 2 prawns escape? One died and the other was almost dying. The rest happily swam away... #FOL tyvm.

LOOK AT JING LONG'S GUILTY FACE! AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Josh friend's catch! Look at all the HUGE prawns. We only contributed 2
Now's the part that none of us have any idea what to do with the prawns.
(Thank god for josh and his friends!)
So what we are supposed to do is to wash the prawn, put the satay stick in and add some salt.
I helped to pose for photos while the rest do the job. Don't judge me!
All ready to be barbecued!!! Can't believe we have to poke the satay stick through them ALIVE.
I like it when the prawns turn orange. The colour like very nice, LOL
TA-DAH! FRESH AND JUICY PRAWNS!
See what i meant by the colour? The orange colour very nice right!\
Well, i would say my first prawning experience was quite "enriching" I realised a lot of patience and concentration is needed (which i obviously don't have -.-) but still! I will still go prawning with the right company (i think no one will want to go prawning with me after reading this post, LOL) I think prawning at night with a bunch of good friends would be fun!
