But Alvin always has these crazy ideas everytime he comes home from Aussieland and they always turn out to be smashtastic fun so we're always game to entertain his touristic sensibilities. We found a little prawning village yesterday tucked deep within the sleepy town of sex and sotongballs that is Geylang and zomg it was major fun.
Prawning is apparently like some kinda certified olympic event for many people.
Mmmmm I really really want Jon's watch. Its so gloriously sporty and there ain't no better colour combi in this WORLD than black and gold. I'm so gonna geddit sometime in the near foreseeable future.
SO. This was just one 'pond', there was a total of 6 ponds in this place which is (from what I vaguely understand as I was listening with vague interest while I tried to control a strong sense of craving for ock sotongballs) an old badminton hall that's been restructured into prawny heaven, and that's literally for the little crazybitches.
There's even a section with huge plush toys and everything, and at first I was like, WHY? Well the whole concept is actually pretty ingenious. Some of the little crazybitches have colour-tags on their pincers (I know rite, the little things seriously can't catch a break) and if you catch these unlucky prawnies, you get to carry them to the front counter and redeem your soft toy!!! Its like playing prawny-prawny-sakura at arcade.
Well we didn't catch any colour-tag prawns, and quite honestly we kinda sucked at catching prawns of any kind. I basically let them do the prawning because I'm not equipped to manhandle live prawns.
SUCCESS!!! They're actually kinda cute but I'm still not touching.
There was this one totally diva uncle in latex berms (FO SHIZZLE YO!!! Latex berms that stretched like crazy so you could literally see how he sprang up in happiness everytime gets a catch, I could almost hear that latex screaming in pain; when that hectare of latex was born into this world, it could NEVER have imagined the world of pain it was getting itself into) who was catching prawns like speedy prawnzales, he was stealing people's thunders left and right! I suspect he was using his own special bait while everyone else was just using the standard free provided bait.
Raf: Don't squeeze the prawn, poor thing must feel so much pain!
Dar: Nah its okay
Raf: How you know, what if their spirits HAUNT YOU tonight
Dar: Both our religions don't believe in animals having souls lah!
Alv: Yeah, only some religions do
Dar: And if you're bad, you'd be reborn into prawns!
Raf: Uhhhmmm or that man's latex berms
There was another section with huge tanks to display their largest prawns, possibly to inspire an unhinged thirst for catching big prawns (if there's even such a thing, like seriously zomg) and we were pretty impressed by these freaks of the underwater domain.
I know right, mega YIKES. So we caught a total of 5 prawny babies!
The whole shizzlebang was crazyfun, largely due to my boys! But its something that's best done once and then that's it. Daryl wasn't satisfied with our loot of 5 prawns so he was like, oh I'm totally coming back to catch more prawns next time. And I'm like, uhhh okay sure let me know how that works out and please tell me all about it over the phone, thanks.
Today is gonna be so awesome!
