Outing with Daddy

We spent the whole day with Daddy starting with church. For the first time, we were very early for church. We were so early Daddy decided that instead of dropping us first, we drove to park the car and then walk to church, hoping to catch some interesting insects along the way. 

After church, we went to ION for lunch. As we couldn't decide what to eat, Daddy decided we should go to a nice food court in ION and then we can all go for what we like. I went for the prawn noodles while Andrea had the fish soup with rice. Daddy had his favourite Indonesian rice with dishes. For dessert, I ordered the ice kachang which was pretty good and we all shared it.

After lunch, we headed to Okto in Yishun. As it was still too hot to do any pond fishing at 1.30pm, we decided we should go Katapult and spend some time in there jumping before heading to the pond. Daddy paid for a 2 hour session and we started jumping at 2pm. It was a hot day and as there was no air con in the jumping area, we were all drench from perspiration after only 15 mins. 

Vanessa was supposed to join us but she got there only at about 3.30pm so she could only start jumping at 4pm but we would be done by then. So we decided to go Longkang fishing instead. We had lots of fun catching all those longkang fish although some of them were already half dead. 



















Daddy and I decided to go pond fishing at around 5.10pm when it wasn't that hot. We took the rod and bait and picked a shady spot. Unlike the fishing in Batam where they have someone to help us with the baits, we have to do it ourselves here. Daddy had to tie the chicken liver with a string to prevent it from breaking apart and I say the chicken liver smelled terrible. We throw the line in many times and although i felt something eating the bait, Daddy was sure it was the small fishes and not the big ones. We were there for an hour and we had no fight at all. It was a far cry from the experience we had at Batam. After a disappointing session, we decided to return the rod and head back. Daddy says we will try to go back to the Batam fishing ground soon. 



We headed to Sengkang for dinner with Ye Ye and Nai Nai after Okto. We were kinda tired from the activities the whole day and almost fell asleep while waiting to dinner to start.
