Pica Fish @ 24 Oct 2006

This morning, some of us in the north met up for delicious fish soup breakfast and I thought that since we were nearby, let's do a jungle trek around the reservior nearby for some digestive exercise. We drove down the hilly road and parked our cars neatly by a little bridge. The last time I was here, it was quite interesting, even having a sign that said "Beware of Crocodiles". I wanted to demo a steve Irwin croc hunting, and led them down the long winding long kang leading the catchment area.

But halfway walking down the trail, I spied an arrowana struggling in the long kang. The water level was quite low and the poor fish was struggling to be able to swim. It was going to die for sure as it could neither move forward nor backwards. As luck won't have it, I had my fishing pail in my car, and mrs cat did a double run to get it. Our kumpong boy, 7 was all ready to rescue the poor fish. The walls by the drain was covered in thick wad of mosses and looked very slippery. But undaunted, 7 lived up to his kumpong namesake and managed to scoop the fish up and put in into my small pail. There wasn't quite enough space for the fish to stretch fully, but it would have to do.

We rushed back to my home (convoy style)...blaring my "get the hell out of way" horn and quickly bring it into my 2x2x2 ft tank. But the fish was not able to right itself, looking like it had some air in the stomach. 7 tried to do some massaging to get the fish to burp, but all our attempts failed. 7 even wanted to do a mouth to mouth resucitation, but I had to persuade him that it was a bad idea. *yucks*

As of now, the fish is still upside down....but it is still alive. If there are any arrowana experts out there, please let us know how to make the fish swim upright.

Call it fate or what...If we had not done the jungle trail thing, the fish would be dead. Hopefully, with a little care, we can nurse it back to health. Once that is done, he would make a nice story and be our little pica mascot.

I will update our new frnz health and would welcome any advice that anyone would have.

6th PicaFrnz Outing, Secret Spot #1 @ 14 Oct 2006

I think I speak for the group that we were really glad to meet all of you guys. I hope the outing had been fun and the secret spot was up to your expectations. Today had been rather hazy, but not that bad in the afternoon. From what I can see, I think that we will get along very well and have that x factor for clicking. We most certainly welcome and hope to see you guys again in our coming outings. There are some people missing from today's outing, like Orange Pica, Pika and shan22. But don't worry, you will get to see all of them soon.

For yourselves, I hope that our motley bunch is ok for you. As you can see, we come from all walks of life, and what got us together is just our little pica and pure friendship. Simple as that.

Hope cdder and tek didn't have any trouble making their own way out.

Too bad Jacky couldn't come today due to work. Nevertheless, we will meet him up soon.

Pica7 should be putting up the pic we took (w/o the faces) of secret place.

And fongs, happy birthday to you too.....(sorry, hope not too late, by the time got back, already past 12 )

7th Pica Frnz Servicing Trip at JB @ 23 Sep 2006

Just to update and wrap up this thread.

We did enjoy ourselves, as usual, and had a good time together.

The ladies had fun with shopping at Carrefour and then later at Jusco. From the looks of their bright sparkling eyes, I didn't think that it was enough. We had to confiscate the credit card and threathen to divorce them via SMS.

On the way back, we accidentally found ourselves beside Southern City, where the famed Moffiz was. So, we "circled" round for a look and it was rather interesting. Many a singpore cars were there. Very thriving business here.

Going back to the car, Alvin81 car license plate was discoverd to be swiped off by some prankster. Itchy fingers, these people. (how? anyone win 4D?)

We did a lorry checkpoint exit on the way back and it did save some time. When we finally hit home, boy, were we tired. But no, that was not the end. We still have some duracell energy to go on and on....and to pick dinner and did a tour of the famous Yishun Dam, before calling it a day. (night actually).

Sorry, couldn't make it for the other meetup as it was rather far away by that time.

Sentosa - 5th Pica Frnz outing @ 16 Sep 2006

Just now that Brani Gate exit...is a new opening. Used to be a closed exit and we would have to make it further down to make a long U-turn. Saw that it was opened and tried it. (you know me, will try anything...keke). Interesting exit but to my horrors, come out, got no right turn sign. So only meant for lorrys. Didn't want to make the illegal cut cos there definitely got policeman. From my rear mirror, it was a funny moment to see all the different color picantos any old how driving against the traffic. But luckily, he just said to turn IMMEDIATELY From there, very near to the gateway.

Anyway, good fun tonight. Hope it is memorable for Speed and Vita. That secret parking spot, don't tell too many people arh....otherwise, next time go there, very hard to park. keke. Vita finally got her car, and we have the proud addition of a yellow pica. Good to see Speed and 7 friend, the cross-country runner. That kind of skill, good for running back home to take things if you forgot. . Too bad the hot babe that Jane promised didn't come...so disappointed. My food felt so cold.

Again our Pika is missing. But the next outing, she sure will come. Cos, Jane has the brilliant idea for a durian party. That woman, she will spill all secrets if you put her in a room with a spot light and a durian.

Didn't see anyone new joining us. Come on, don't be shy. It is finally established that 7 is more handsome than me, so what are you guys waiting for?

K. Till our next adventure.

3rd & "4th coming" Pica Frnz outing. UBIN @ 3rd Sep 2006

Alvin81>
Guys, it was a very nice day out with all of you! Thanks to all si fus for teaching me how to fish. RainCat, thanks for letting me use your rod. If not, I wouldn't have caught the big fish. Its the largest that I've ever caught in my entire life! Another successful trip! Goodnight to all of you! Have a great week ahead! I'll try to send those photos out ASAP. PS: If this post sounds a little incoherent, its most prolly because of the immense heat and humid that I went under today plus the "shagness". PPS: shan22, I'll return you the cooler box the next time we meet. But if you need it urgently, pls let me know. Thanks for letting me use your box!

Raincat>
Wow...Alvin, you faster than me. Yes, it was a very tiring day, but was great fun. There are very few things that can make me stand under the hot sun, and this is one of the very few. . Yeah, we all look like lobster gang right now. Some pics of our paydirt....after all the hard work. Most of which you know from who and who. We had to leave our killer whale, manta ray etc... there as we cannot lug it back.
