DAY ONE:

It's my Kelong Trip!


Heard sooo much about Tanjong Pinang and finally, I went there to take a look..


This is the UNIQUE bell boy's equipment of ours (Above)


The room was a very basic one. All the room has was 2 single bed, 1 aircon and 1 bedside table.

I was a bit worried when I got to know that there isn't any hot water supply.I even "practice" at home... To shower without hot water. Haa!! Luckily every room has our own toilet, it's also quite clean and well equipped!
Was still wondering if we need to use common toilet..



The Kelong is 1 hour drive away from the Jetty.
Outside of the Kelong, there's only 1 small provision shop. That's where we got our Otah..


Can you believe how many Otahs we had in just that 3D2N??

Make a guess?

Clue: It's home-made!!



The human factory

Ans: 600 Otahs among 9 ppl

Please note that we also had alot of other food besides Otah!!

On the way out, I saw that the Kelong keep their own Squirrel, pigeons and a hawk!


They even built a house for their pigeons! Aww...


Me feeding the squirrel with Longan. Sickening.. They were so hungry they snatched the fruit from me and scratched my finger.

Blood~~



To generate more income, they also make their own salted fish and dried ikan billis.


On the first day, all of us were fishing around the Kelong.


See, how everyone is concentrating on catching the crab.

They are normally slightly above the water level, on the pillar of the Kelong.





Finally....Our hard work has paid off...

Bait that we bought from the Kelong.


This bait caught us a......The first catch of the day!


Dinner at the Kelong's cafeteria.

The tempura sotong was really fresh and crispy! It's a seafood spread!


Total 7 guys and 2 girls (The girls are the photographers)


Have you ever tried putting fireworks yourself?

All these and more (not in the picture) costs us S$ 167


It was low tide at night, so we looked around and found out that there are actually alot of interesting creatures living in that small compound! We caught a small Octopus and this is a sea cucumber..


DAY TWO:

We rented a boat from the Kelong on the second day. The boat man brought us to his favourite spot where he knows there's plenty of fishes available for us!


Our catches of the day!


Xiao Hei playing with the 2 small fishes, making them kiss~

They were all very pek chek that we kept on hooking up such small fishes...

After 6 hours of fishing on the sea, all of us was exhausted. We can't all rush to the shower because the piping system is not very well done. If alot of us on our tap at the same time, it may end up that all of us have no water to bathe. -.-"

We were all dying for a good massage, so we called in a massaue. There was only 1 massaue, therefore we have to take turns.

No long after, it's dinner!



This is the sashimi of a very big "Sea Ham" or you can call it clam..The guys had it with wasabi..It's a very big one..I think it's bigger than your 2 palms put together!

We also had the fishes that we caught that morning....Yum Yum~Fresh out from the sea..

We steamed the bigger ones and the rest we barbecue them with sambal chilli..*Drooling*


On our way back, all of us was joking that going back to Singapore is like dropping back to reality. Haii... On the last day, we went to the town area or shopping. All of us bought sunglasses from the departmental store. Each of them only cost S$5.

Later on when we went to an optical store, I bought a red Celine Dion Shades with pink Swaroski Crystal by the side. I love it~ S$99

All of us would love to go back there AGAIN!!

Main reason: The fireworks~ Haha
