Venue: Hotboys Kelong
Day 2
Woke up at 7.30 in the morning. Most of our members are already up. After a fresh up, the boys carry on with the fishing. Next came the bell for breakfast which is our second last at the kelong. Simple chicken congee for the start of the day. Those who dislike it like Joey can have another choice - buscuits.
After breakfast, with a cup of coffee, we hang around at the platform while Raymond and Ajit still trying on their last catch. Ajit had managed to get another 3 on his record.
Then it's time to do packing up while other some visit the toilets for bathing.
Lunch was served about 12 noon. This fifth meal was a good one. We have a big groupa cooked very saucy way, then sweet and sour fish, fried egg, vegetable, and never the missing item soup.
The boat that is picking us up back to the jetty arrived when we were halfyway our meal.
We hurriedly finished up our lunch and get onboard the boat. That was a bigger boat compared to the one that we arrived with. The boat left the kelong and we have our last glance and waved goodbye. Gradually it went out of our sight. In between, the engine was stopped and we were in the middle of the sea. But restarted after 5 to 10 mins. Next followed a heavy downpour. Around an hour later, we are back to Tanjung Lenman jetty.
The same coach - MAJ 2008 was there to pick us up. Just like the journey when we were heading, the returned trip was another napping one. Arrived at Malaysia customs around 4.00 pm, we pressed ourselves through the crowded queues and had a little hiccup at the Singapore Woodlands customs.
Finally we are on the way back to Hillside View, served with some drinks and titbits by Mr and Mrs Ang. Then we took a 10-mins ride back to our home sweet home driven by Raymond.
On the whole, we have a nice and enjoyable trip. Probably a break off from the heavy work load and stress for the work or school.
Hope we can plan for another different trip elsewhere in future.
