Pink Party - August's birthday & Ed's farewell 1/2

it's been a while since i last wrote and Blue Caps asked me why yesterday. i guess i've been busy writing my book(s). but all's great. anyways those who read this blog are all my closest friends and i already keep in touch with yall!

Sunday 170808 was sort of fun though it started out really stressful.

let me begin from the start.

for some reason, the boys wanted to hold a BBQ though i was lazy and subsequently, them too. in any case, we went ahead with the deal.

one day before, on Saturday 160808, August and i were already with Trix at our Landings (a church ministry to welcome home returning Catholics) BBQ at FTP poolside. i didn't drink much because we had to go to the fishery to buy seafood for the BBQ at 3am.

*faintz*

i kept asking Tom, one of the boys, "Are we buying fish to feed an army that we have to go to the fishery to get them!?"

what happened at 3am? Tom was asleep! so i went back to sleep while August hung around and woke me up at 3.30am. we made our way to the fishery (they were yakking and i fell asleep, sprawled out on the back seat of Tom's car).

lots of smelly fish. BIG fish. quite an experience.
we saw giant prawns. there are hei bis, and shrimps, prawns and tiger prawns. then there are the GIANT PRAWNS and this was what i set my eyes on.

we bought 2kg of them and 2kg of slightly smaller prawns.

got home around 5.45am and i took a quick shower and crashed while August and Tom continued on to the regular market - i dunno why.

honestly it was quite an eye-opener. besides the fact that i was the ONLY GIRL at the fishery, it was quite intriguing to see so much BIG fish (though the varieties are quite limited).

but i don't think i'll want to do it again. the timing is too weird.
