A sunny liberation day..
Mommy suggested going over to Changi Beach earlier to get some vitamin D..

Photobucket

Being someone who absorbs sunlight like a sponge,
I was somewhat quite hesitant.
It was a love hate relationship with the sun.
I love being in the sun, on the beach, on the mountains, close to nature..
There's no where I'd rather be..
I dont mind having a nice brown tan..
But the UV rays always turn me charcoal (not brown) within a couple of minutes..
Since I grow muscles and tan easily I should have been a guy duh -.-

All the dim witted worries were cast away the minute I saw the high tided waves..
Like a balm to wounded minds..
Staring out at the limitless horizon was calmly reassuring..

Photobucket

The sky was exceptionally blue that day..

Photobucket
Photobucket

I was so gleeful when I saw those swings..
The feeling of being on a pendulum..
Shaking away the woes..
Swinging off the low moods..

Mommy joined me =)

Photobucket

There were many dogs at the beach that day..
One of them was this long fur chihuahua..
5 months old..
Cute to the max..
My hands could cover half of its body..

Photobucket

Caught this candid shot of mommy..
Heee..

Photobucket

She was happy..
So was I =)

*****

The waves that day were dangerously choppy..

Wednesday, April 21

This time round we were surprised with a trip to the kelong..
And we got to see the whole process of netting up the fishes, weighing the struggling fishes fast and then putting them back to the pails of the buyers.

The whole process took quite some time..
But it kept the onlookers fascinated enough =)

Some lobsters time for us..
Their sizes varied but they were pitifully thrown into the small pail with broken feelers and rendered totally immobile..

The best joy dervied was when you watch them wriggle away happily into the water..
I do admit we took a tad too long on the pictures =x

Photobucket

Lobsters are a bunch of milder creatures as compared to the aggressive crabs..
All of them have really exotic prints on them.

Photobucket

*****

The solace from liberation is not something that is easily describable..
That ease, that peace, that contentment, that satisfaction..

That joy is different from the transient exhilaration of savoring the well cooked version of them..
That fulfilment is a far cry from relishing the succulence of meat on your tongue..
That gratification is definitely not the same as the merciless indulgence and merrymaking at huge banquets..

Sometimes
Human beings tend to subdue that tiny weeny wave of guilt that swept over them during big feasting..
Sometimes
That guilt comes from the realisation of over binging..
Cholesterol increased, calories shot up, health problems surfaced..
And sometimes
That guilt comes from feasting on a more vulnerable creature..
The very same creatures that do fear and cry at the brink of death.

If people can claim that they love animals..
And then declare indignantly that some animals are reared to be eaten..
What gives us the right to determine who should live and who should not..
Aint human beings supposed to be a more humane animal?
*Smile to self*

We are all living in serious contradictions..
We all sadly do..

Just..
A penny of my thoughts..

Wooot
We turned up almost in full force..
Dom, Ming and Don's buddy JX joined us this time round..

The dudes went over to Changi Village for their famous Nasi Lemak..
See what they had become after a full meal..

Photobucket

Havent seen daddy this happy lately..
Glad this "trip" took his woes away for a while..
He actually posed readily with the Sri Lankan crab when we asked him to..
And then he asked for another crab for a second picture..
Hurhur..

Just like all previous sessions,
The main organiser announced the day's "earnings" or voluntary donations..
Or the so call special numbers..
Amounting to $6080.00 for that afternoon.

On the boat ride back to the jetty..
Daddy remained his chirpy self..
Posing for pictures..
And I meant really posing.

Photobucket

We must be really crazy to be thinking of doing jump shots on a bump boat..
Imagine as we jumped and the boat zoomed off..
That would very well leave us in the water with the crabs..

So we came up with this:

Photobucket

When we finally reached the jetty,
The guys went back to Changi Village hawker centre for some cold desserts.
Mommy and I finally caught up with those long legs..
Only to find Daddy gone..

So where did daddy go..?!

Photobucket

And the main culprits..?

Photobucket

Hurhurhur..
As Dom had never bought 4D before..
The ticket ended up under Dom's care for safekeeping.
All because they thought maybe they would win if Dom keeps it..
The so-called beginner's luck..

But did beginner's luck validate?

Liberation Day 14 Jun 09
Changi Beach
Don joined us, spontaneously =)

This time
A simple affair with bigger crabs.



Thereafter
Mommy’s friend suddenly turned around and asked if we want to pluck rambutans..
We thought that he was kidding initially..
But he drove us to Amoy Quee camp and the folks began disappearing into the bushy clumps and then popping out suddenly with handfuls of the red hairy fruits.
LOL
What a comical sight when you see aunties and uncles plucking and then munching on the rambutans gleefully.



I was fascinated with this nearby durian tree and could not help snapping away.
First time seeing a durian tree -,-
Durians are known to fall to the ground only at dawn.
I could not stop laughing when I saw Don and the uncle trying to throw a coconut and a wooden plank upwards to get durians down..
They had this ready-to-sprint-posture-while-throwing-the-coconut in case a durian really fell.

他们以为丢椰子可以送榴莲..
LOL
