Catching Fish

-
We were walking along Bishan Park and happened to coincidentally see a group of people casting their fishing net, catching fishes at the large canal! 

I was so amazed by their catching skills and didn't expect to know that there are so many edible fishes to catch at the canal! We walked along the Bishan Park, to a place where there are steps down to the canal. Josh and Kate were adventurous enough to want to walk the stairs down by themselves!
 

Is it fish or fishes?


Both of them were so curious to see how the actual fishing was done! I, myself was also fascinated by it! Eve was at home taking care of Gwen when we were outdoors. Otherwise, she would also can get to see a glimpse of how fishing can be done at canals!

Josh and Kate were amazed that fish can be caught just like that from the canal and into the bucket. Poor little fish (opps)
 

Look at the red bucket! It's actually filled with fishes and I can't believe they are hiding underneath the seaweeds! Look at the different sizes of fish caught!




One of them showed us the fish up close and personal! He even showed me that the fish's mouth has eggs! It's just so amazing.





And he actually offered me a large fish to bring back! Of course I rejected! The reason being I do not know how to deal with the fish!

He told me how they cook these fishes!
1. They wash cleanly the fish, removing the organs.
2. Add salt and chilli powder on the fish.
3. Deep fry the fish.
4. Serve.


It's just so amazing that Singapore used to have many fishermen and now, very few of us actually does fishing. These people (didn't take photo of them, for privacy purpose) have the skill of fishing and honestly it's not easy to use their bare hands to catch the fish. Just take a look at the sharp fins on the fish. It will definitely poke someone who is a novice.

I'm just so glad that my children are able to get a glimpse of what fishing in a canal really is! Of course there is actual way of fishing via a rod, probably next time when they are older, we can bring them to go and see the real stuff!

Cycling across Park Connector

Cycling has never been so exciting, and to see the children enjoying and exploring the new places, it's truly rewarding.  On Wednesday morning, our family with Josh's friend met to venture the Kallang Park Connector!  All geared up with scooters and bicycles!  We were thankful that the weather was fine and windy too!  Personally speaking,  I really love this bridge! The children were exhilarated when they reached it! Unblocked view 360 degrees!  Thanks to Kelly for the family photo. Initially, I intended to jog throughout the Park Connector. Instead, I rented the Ofo bike. I'm really thankful to find one at a nearby block.  We reached Potong Pasir, and it was well built with new bridges and greens. The Kallang River was clean, rubbish free!  We spotted many patches of plants mixed with lalang, cow grass, creeper plants and morning glory. We tried to find grasshoppers. Instead, we spotted butterflies, carpenter bees, Sting bug, water hens and their chicks, herons and egrets!

Wow! Our new born is one day old already! :) I'm really very thankful for all the 200 over congratulations and well wishes from FaceBook as well as the fruit baskets from fellow friends and colleagues!  Baby Hoe on 9th July 2013 Josh and Eve and Baby early morning before Josh goes to school Aren't they loving? Happy grandfather with the three grandchildren. I honestly find that when we grow old, the success-o-meter is being a grandparent. And being able to see your grandchildren! It's certainly priceless. Me and my three children. Kate followed me to squat! So funny. Picture of Eve before birth. She sat on the couch. Then, when contractions came, she will get up and I will support her. And she will go back again. This went on for 30 minutes! Baby Hoe on the heater machine The nurse measured and she is 51cm! Longer than Kate and Josh when born.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY Singapore! I was at the Parade performing yesterday and I tell you, the spirit was there and the fireworks are definitely the highlight of the whole event. Boom, boom, boom was the sound that you hear from the sky and great colours filled around the stadium as the fireworks exploded! WOO! Love it man. Somemore, I met my friends like Iris, Lijie and Crystal who came down for the event. WOOHOO! Took pictures and I am really glad to see them as I find that for the performance, they came down to support me. Ha... that's my way of thinking la. But come to think of it, its true right? They came all the way down to watch the NDP and watched my event. Which is in a way, supporting me. Yeah. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the way to the Stadium, I saw a group of people lining up and they were actually providing a service to paint 'Singapore Flag' on the faces of the audiences. I also queued up
