It all began at 10.30am on Labour Day (Friday). While a group of my friends were preparing to go singing, I met up with another friend and we went fish farms visiting. Instead of being in the comfort of the karaoke room, I was under the sun and dragging my feet from farm to farm. We visited Seletar farmway, as I was curious and wanted to take a look at the Crystal Red Shrimps which Sea View Aquarium was offering at a price of 20 for $40. It was rather disappointing as the shrimps were smaller than I have expected, and that made it very difficult to grade the quality of the shrimps. I went home empty handed but my friend bought 2 fishes. I can't remember now, but its name has the word "galaxy" in it. A small black fish cover in tiny shiny silver spots, with red tip on its fins. Quite a nice nice fish to look at.
We also visited many other fish farms in the area but all were not very visitor friendly, as in we do not know what they had or were selling. Then, I came across a property which does not sell fishes, and I found it very familiar. About 10 years ago, when I was still in primary school, around primary 5 or 6, I visited the very same place with a classmate of mine and her mother. We were there to buy chickens as pets. I used to keep 3 chickens, 2 roosters and a hen. Once, one of my rooster even jumped out of my window a
nd flew 13 floors down and landed on roof of the shelter walkway. I had to food to coax it down. However, 2 roosters were just too noisy and I had to give them all away.
I side tracked quite a lot above, now back to the adventure that day. After dinner, I met up with some of the people from the group that went singing. I was a little tired and lazy to leave my house again, so since I am going out again, I must do something that I like, and that is prawning. We went to another prawning pond instead of the one that we usually visit. It was the first time I tried prawning at Pasir Ris farmway. I hope my friends did not feel too bored during that 3 hours, at least everyone present got the chance to catch at least one prawn, and I was kept busy as I am the only person who knows how to unhook the prawns. I may visit the place again one of these days.
We had supper at Changi Village. Other than the food, Changi Village is also famous for something else. That's right - Transversites (I don't really know if this word exist but the locals will understand). Do not read on if you do not feel comfortable with the topic. Some of the details are provided in my friend, Ndcai's blog. After supper as we were walking back to the car, a transversite(unknown) approached us, Ndcai quickly jumped into the car. When the unknown saw a female in the group, he/she quickly turned around and walked away. The friend of mine worked just exactly like a protection amulet.
We decided to tail the transversites and see what they were up to. After camping at the famous carpark, I noticed that most who were looking for some fun with them drove red cars and that inculded 2 drivers who drove similar vehicles(type & colour) as in the picture below. Instead of picking up passengers and earning money with the help of midnight charges, they themselves became customers.
All of the sudden I felt as if I was a paparazzi, tailing 4 vehicles in total. Testing my driving skills along the way, just to get a glimpse of what kind of customers these unknowns are serving. Police were on patrol as well, and one customer who intended to make out, at the quiet carpark by the old Changi Hospital, panicked and he drove off. Another even led us to a secret hideout, a dark and deserted open area nearby. There were already three cars parked in different parts of the area, before we drove in. One of the vehicle even had 3 people in it, including the unknown. As we were leaving, I turned off the headlights of the car and drove out slowly. Only Ndcai and I saw that the unknown in that car was topless when we left. Don't let your imagination go wild. I only saw the back view. As we were leaving, 2 more cars drove in through the narrow road when it was already past 3 am.
