Hurray, no more Cheers! At least for these two days - today and tomorrow. Today was a pleasureful and happy day indeed. Daniel, Dad and myself went all the way to Sembawang Park for fishing! After so long a time standing on the semi wooden jetty, all we got was literally nothing, except for some fun. Not at all a fish, and not even one of them by those men whose rods were far larger than ours. However, flower crabs were seen emerging from the sea in the square nets every few of half a minutes. Small or big, there's actually a preference among 'fishermen' though. The larger ones would suffer the fate not similar to their counterparts, where smaller ones were privileged to return back home. That must be due to their sizes.

Mid afternoon, I went back to Grandma's place and enjoyed my crabby feast with Daniel. I had one whole steamed and chilled crab as snack. Having able to eat them after so many years had paid off the pains which I felt when cracking the shells. Then when there was an excess, Daniel and me shared the third one, leaving me with rashes at the end of the day, which is now. =( but =).

At dusk, we went to Aunt cat's place and prepared for a family gathering, an annual event that would usually gather over 60 distant relatives for a get-together session. But unfortuately things weren't worked out to be what the old uncles and aunts wanted, which we the younger generations did not really interacted much I would say.

Just after the strolling around, I went to bathe and used the steam bath. It is like a giant steamer which people usually use it to seam Paus. And after everything I felt refreshed, and super-recharged once again.

There's a buffet dinner! Much to my liking, and with the fact that that's what I have ordered from Select Catering, I like it even more. But sadly I didn't eat much due to the limitation of the amount.

Having enjoyed all these moments, I nearly forget to introduce Daniel! He is my cousin, 24, who was born in Singapore. Now a German, he has been living in Germany for more than twenty years. He's now back here again after an interval of three years. Together with his Dad (my uncle), his wife (Aunt Gadarh), sister (Sandra, 21, cousin), they spend their holidays here living at my Grandma's place. But this time they brought along their cousin and boyfriend too. Cloudia is a Policewoman at their place. (Woohoo!) Sadly, my attachment has started so I couldn't really bring them out so sightsee and have fun. I'm feeling to sorry for that. They will leave on 29 Aug.

Today's entry will stop here, and I know I have lotsa expired things to post, especially photos. Stay tuned, and focused. =)
