The recent one is the kelong trip. 50 pple went there to try sink the kelong~
It’s the 2nd trip, very different from the one I have gone the last time, but still, another experience.
It’s at Kukup. And actually more like chalet than a kelong.
It’s cement-built, not wooden planks. There is a hall, kitchen and 3 rooms. Each room has double-decked beds that can accommodate up to 8 people.
This trip was organized by my ex-colleague, Dylan Ong. I heard the pple calling him Ah-Ong. He looks blur, but he is actually a very good organizer and coordinator. This trip is a success, all due to him. I always think it’s funny to see him doing the headcount with his eyes, and not finger.. hahaha…
For those two days, we were eating seafood for almost every meal! Till now, I am still trying to avoid fish, prawn, crab… Have been eating chicken for the past few days since the trip, ahahaha.. Lunch at Kukup Fishing village: Prawn, Crab, Fish, vegetable, beancurd. Dinner at kelong: BBQed ready food: Prawn, Crab, Fish, Squid, hotdog, sausage, chicken wing etc.. Breakfast 2nd Day: Fish with nasi lemak. Lunch: Prawn, Crab, Fish, Chinese Mussels, fried Baby Squid, chicken, fried egg, vegetable. I was home and hungry during dinner time, but I only cooked instant noodles… No more rice and seafood for me.. “puke puke” For now. I still love seafood wor..
As for the activities, at the kelong, there was nothing much to do. To me, it was really a pure rest and relax day. No shopping, no walking long long distance.. As there was about 50plus pax, we booked 3 units of kelong. Eventually, people were split into these units according to their interests. 1st unit: KTV unit with 2 tables of mahjong for people who could not get a seat at the other unit. 2nd unit: Gambling Den. 3rd unit: Playground for the kids. So I was naturally in the KTV unit as I was already residing in the first unit. Sang, played games with the kids, played a bit of mahjong and after all the eating, we played firework. It was my first time, very loud and a bit scary bec i kept getting burnt! Dylan told me we all forked out abt $800 for the fireworks.. Wow... Got mini fireworks, and
also bigger bigger and nicer firework. After all these, I was real tired and finally time to sleep... (>o<) Then the strangest thing happened.. Before I slept, I knew the light in the hall and our room’s toilet was not off.. In the middle of the nite, it was pitch dark, till I could see the stars in the sky.. So was wondering, “wow.. everyone so guai, sleep so early…” Then when I went to the kitchen to get water, I saw 2 guys rushing in and I was like “oh oh, no one lock the main door hor…” Lucky they were the people living at the kelong and coming in to check the power box. So, it was POWER FAILURE! No wonder I felt warm for no reason… I went out of the unit, saw the ex-colleagues in the gambling den unit standing outside their unit too.. Mine were all sleeping in their rooms.. Even when the power came back. Ahahaha.. This was the 2nd time I faced power failure for the last 2 mths.. The other time was at KTV, yes, decent KTV outlet can also have power failure..
The next day morning, we had a packed schedule: went to mangrove swamp and fish farm. Hmm, nothing really exciting as I am not one who can appreciate the green green leaves and brown brown trunks.. Yup, saw a few crabs, spiders, kind of snails on the trunks of trees and meaningful phrases etc… Was trying to entertain myself… ahaha.. Only worth mentioning would be the suspension bridge inside the mangrove swamp. Only abt 2-3 storeys high, and cannot jump, cannot sway, so spoiler…
I did try to bounce a bit with every step, kekeke.. Then went to climb a 6-storey high wooden tower, just to see green and green and green… faint.. Went to the fish farm, nothing fantastic. It’s a showcase of a fish farm, so do not have many fishes..Took the bus back to Singapore after the heavy lunch. Luckily, it was not as bad as the first bus ride, so did not feel like vomiting. It was not me being lousy, u guys know that I am adventurous rider. It was the stupid coke gas that went up and down in my stomach >.<
