old prawns

Late one Dec 22nd, an illegal gathering outside a dubious ramshackle structure somewhere in Pasir Ris.

Ok, so we was prawning:
"Prawning" is a happy occasion:

"Prawning" is also a code word for "posing" - example:
"Prawning" is code word for mindless waiting:

All for these babies:
So what actually happened?
To celebrated an annoying reunion we had a cousins prawning session - with some demi-cousins, a ssssteven and a few choNGS.
So it was that night we (excluding one poor Nicky) caught our fill of 23 prawns - if i remember correctly. They've been a little too digested to count. Anyways it was a fun night - catching and then cooking at mr Yeo's. Argh. I'm feeling hungry now. That's not good.
Too bad I wasn't able to capture all the funny events. Steven's "I got one! I got one! I got..." "PLOP!", JK trying to make drunken prawns, all the "I'll buy you a... if you catch so many prawns" and mr Yeo's antics. "I got a big one" (shakes rod vigourously)

I think the funniest one was Abner though. He was on a roll (caught 6 prawns that night?) and there were these two older chaps about a metre away from him, and they weren't catching anything, while Abner was going "LINCOLN! I GOT ANOTHER ONE!"... I couldn't take their faces without getting caught though...

Some beautiful expressions:
Stephen (finally spelt it right) has the video of me and lincoln dismembering the prawns - a memory that haunts me till today. Though i still eat prawns. Yum.


This is the next most gruesome photo. The bait, ayam heart ala raw.
