The Fishing Trip with Agents, 27 Jan

The gang brought their business partners to Pasir Ris Town Park for an afternoon of fishing and prawning on 27 January 2007.

The afternoon began with the gang split into 3 teams. While Stella and Lay Hong were at People’s Park Centre waiting for the agents for the 1st pick up; Jason and Mabel were at Lavender MRT station waiting for the agents for the 2nd pick up; Robin, Li Wah & Sheryl were at Pasir Ris Town Park ‘dolling’ up the place.

And not long later, it began to drizzle. We panicked and all of us were crossing our fingers real hard and it got nearly twisted !

Agents began streaming in with those ‘making their own way’ arriving first, followed by those who arrived by our chartered coach with 4 Insight ‘Tour Directors’ leading the entourage.

The afternoon began with a safety briefing carried out by the owner of the leased park, a young man by the name of Song. And soon, everyone was so eager to lay their hands on a fishing rod. Yay !

Within minutes, there was some cheers and screams coming from one corner, Peter caught a prawn ! Wow ! That was fast ! And here Sheryl goes, happily recording the weight of the prawn….. And you can practically heard Sheryl’s name called out throughout the whole afternoon as she was the record keeper of the day. There’s a mini friendly competition for BIGGEST CATCH and MOST CATCH of the Day ! And the rest, busy ‘bouncing’ around, cheering on and snapping pictures away !

Almost everyone caught at least a fish or prawn, look how excited they are, how serious they are and how they strategised to find the best spot for the most catch.

And the winners are,

BIGGEST Catch of the Day – Fish Category

BIGGEST Catch of the Day – Prawn Category

MOST Catch of the Day – Fish Category

MOST Catch of the Day – Prawn Category

Dinner was served at 6.30pm and everyone was very hungry by then. Delicious buffet dinner was arranged together with the catch of the day. Everyone tucked in happily and enjoyed the dinner thoroughly. Prizes were given away to our ‘fishermen & fisherwomen’ during dinner. And the gathering ended with 13 lucky draw prizes to be won away.

Everyone had a wonderful Saturday afternoon and we look forward to more such gatherings in the near future.
