3-in-1

today we went fishing in the ocean, about a 5-10 minute boat ride from the shore. me, alex and his father went out, in hopes of catching our dinner. it was a very nice ride, and i saw a lot of jellyfish on our way out to the ocean. there were two types in general. one with 4 pink circles on its back, which doesnt sting much... and the lil blobs with long stingers that will sting a lot. XD it was nice, windy, and no clouds in the sky.. so it was a lovely day for fishing

when we stopped the boat, robert cut up some old icky fish to use as bait... we each had a roll of line with 4 hooks on. i chose to just bait one hook though. and within a minute of having my line reach the ocean floor.... i had a bite XD and every time i threw in my line after that XD. of course, it takes time to reel in the fish (and arm muscle too T_T ) and thankfully i didnt have to unhook it. because the fish weighed about 3 kilos... and they were bloody :P

the first fishie i caught was a mackeral, but it wasnt the type we wanted for dinner so it was thrown back in. i caught 3 other fishes after that, all of the same breed, and the type we want for dinner. i believe its dory fish? muahahaahah. i felt so good having caught fish so easily, but didnt feel so good when i started to feel seasick due to the rocking boat. even now as i type this, 6 hours or more after getting off the boat, i still feel abit sickish...feeling the rocking movement. robert caught 2 fishes, and alex caught one. thankfully, all the fish we caught were pretty big, and i caught the biggest *self cheer*

after fishing, we went to eat lunch with alex's grandparents. gave them the stuff we bought in singapore for them.. and they were very pleased :)

finally, we went snorkling with raymond and hilde, alex's brother and his gf. it was VERY hard to get into a wetsuit , and even harder to breathe in one. lets just say its like a full body corset, but protects very well from the cold water. saw fishies and a white starfish... alex picked up a white and purple sea urchin, which was really very cool. but i'll blab in detail some other time , bbq fish is AWAITING!
