Fishing at Ma On Shan

My very first fishing experience in my life.

Saturday night at Ma On Shan. It was pretty much a spontaneous decision to join some of my friends for fishing at 7pm(!!!) haha. Got up at 2pm to yumcha with Mel and 4 other friends at this traditional Chinese restaurant which served rather good dimsum. Ate and chatted till 5.30pm. On the way back to residence, I decided to join 3 fellow singaporeans, yogi, chris and calvin, and some other exchange students - tommy from sweden and some locals for fishing at Ma On Shan, which is this area in the New Territories and so local no tourist will never go there.

It was a good experience. We fished with fishing lines, live baits, and an improvised fishing can (using a Vitasoy drink box). I really enjoyed myself. The pier was so quiet, with about 15 people in total. I liked looking out at the open sea, enjoying the breeze and spending alone time. I thought back on my whole exchange , my life, and I really enjoyed my own personal space , which Ive not had for such a long time.

I like fishing. And maybe when I get back, this will be a new hobby of mine. haha shocking huh! Calvin couldnt believe his eyes when he saw me there cos he thought I was a 'City girl' :) I've changed somewhat in many ways through this experience. Well well I'll save my reflection for another time.

It's gonna be exams in 2 weeks, and 3 weeks to packing everything I have here, and leaving this life behind for good. For now, I'm making the best out of every single minute I spend here.

The live worms :S hahaha. We had to chop them up ourselves for bait.

Kelly caught this puffer fish! and it really did puff up!! interesting stuff.

A really unglam pic of me. I really am not as girly as some of you think I am.

My Catch of the Day! This is the biggest fish caught that night, hahaha, really pathetic actually. And I caught it!!! USing the vitasoy box which Calvin gave me.

Our Catch of the Day!

Unhooking, to throw the fish back into the sea.

After fishing, we headed to Sugar at Lan Kwai Fong. Brian and co. got a table at the VIP section, so the 3 of us who were late got in FREE! instead of paying 200HKD just for entry. I had an awesome time that night! The DJ was great, music was fantastic, company was super! =)

Fun fun fun times in Hongkong :)
