explosions at the kelong

ok the title is kinda screwed up /o\.

28/7 saturday
woke up at abt 7 and took about 3 hours to reach there. i got scolded somewhat badly on the way there, because the camera had no card /o\. very fail as usual heheh.

reached kukup at abt 10:30 and went to the kelong there. the sea breeze was really comfortable and shiok. the view is quite good in some sense too. as in even though the water was brownish and all that, the photos still look very nice :D. the tide was still quite low though, so we could see all the mudskippers and the fiddle crabs (the one claw bigger than the other one).

the host of the kelong, which was some ahma, prepared some snacks for us. then we just slacked and talked around. we went to observe the mudskippers la. apparently when they 'fight', they look like their dancing lolz. like both of them face each other, then one moves forward and the other moves backwards. and then they keep doing that. so retarded /o\.

after that we relaxed for awhile, ate more snacks, and sang abit of karaoke, and watched olympics lolz. there was also a 7 year old boy there. he is quite good with words lol. at first everyone was like talking to him, joking around, but after awhile, they all get bored of playing with him. so yea he stuck to me all the time.

went for lunch after that. managed to buy an sd card from some photographer haha. thanks goodness.

so yea went back and my sis and i went around taking photos. by then tide was quite high already though, so couldnt see the mudskippers. actually there are much more pics in fb, but there are too many, so i wont be showing much here.

view from our kelong




we came back to rest until about 5. then we went for a boat trip to the fish market they had.

on the way there




the fish market




it was pretty small, and there werent actually much fish to see. but there were these fishes



they cant be eaten so they were just there for display. because they have this really cool ability. when we put ikan bilis overhanging a plank just above them, they were shoot a jet of water to make it fall down, then eat it. quite cool :D

yea thats us watching them shoot jets of water lol


random porcupine decoration



hmm didnt take photo of the very cool jellyfish lolz.

came back and went to take some photos at the temple there. then went back and at bbq for dinner :D

the chicken was very hot and juicy :D. and the otah's freaking spicy /o\

then we went to buy some of these

heheheh

went to the open space towards the end of the whole line of kelongs. to set of many explosions haha. dint dare to light them up at first, cos they seem freakin dangerous lolz. but after that it was really thrilling to light the fuse haha. and run hastily back to safety /o\. its thrilling :D. and u dont get to do this in singapore lolz.

i took ALOT of photos here, so i'll only show a few of the nicer ones. ISO was bumped up to max so quality not so good la heheh.

those that are stationary and exploded on the floor


my dad lighting the fuse of those that shoot towards the sky :D


explosions (some of the nicer ones)



lol my aunt quickly running away after lighting fuse XD


they were those that hover close to the ground too. and they are darn scary and unpredictable lolz.



setting up the 天灯



this one got a whole burned through the side though, cos the wind was too strong /o\. two others were torn too :o. manage to set up one though :D



yay


it flew really close to the house roof's at first /o\. but it managed to keep floating up. so nice haha.

also took pics of some of the more expensive fireworks that other ppl set off

this is ours


this is theirs (and probably 10 times bigger)




well it was pretty fun anyway :D

29/7 saturday
woke up to sea breeze :D. whenever i sleep overseas i feel quite uncomfortable in the morning, but the breeze here is awesome and refreshing :D. it was pretty cold though lol. the tide was low again so can see all the crabs and the mudskippers again :D. dslr quality this time (not phone cameras).

hiding as we splashed cups of water onto it :P


mudskipper


dead fish :o


went to play some pillowfight and also some card games with the boy. of course i got bored after awhile, but u know when ur parents or ur aunts get bored of playing with you they somehow just seem patronize u, and then u dont feel like playing with them alr. see i know how it feels like /o\. so yea i kinda tried to entertain him even though i was so tired >.<

after that went of to some open space to set off some of the remaining mini fireworks from yesterday. there were those that spun on the spot and threw sparks, and there was one with wings that just glows and flies upwards. brought grandparents and the boy to watch, cos they werent with us yesterday.

the boy was very scared to light it up at first lolz. he kept asking me to hold his hand to help him light it. after that he got addicted heheh, but he keep running away after he lighted it up lolz. after that we tried lighting two or three or even four of those at the time by twining their fuses together. so cool :D. but for some reason no one brought camera to take. 真可惜 lol. went to piggyback the boy home for some reason. and supposedly galloping like some horse lololz. so fun :D.

rest of the day was mainly spent shopping for stuff to buy back. i only bought one pack of that muruku snack jm always buys lol haha. then we set off back to singapore. i slept like quite abit also, so i ended up doing nothing for the whole weekend haha.

but it was kinda shiok. mid-term break :D. plus i felt much better cos for some reason i wasn't really feeling myself during that week. so yea i felt much happier after coming back. ok la thats all for this post liao. bye~~

it felt better to stop thinking so much and just move on and let things sort out by itself
