Down with flu!
What a Sunday... Was sneezing the whole of Sunday but it got worse after the fishing! And today.... I'm down with flu. Feeling lethargic... Need a bed and flu medicine!NOW! :p
Yesterday, we were not on our best behaviour.. We went "Todman" fishing @ a private property, where there is a reservoir.. In the West. Fishing at the Reservoir was illegal.. There were 6 of us, 5 guys and me, a gal.. There were 5 very excited fishermen using 'Live' Koi as bait, poor fish..
It was barely 8pm when we arrived. We walked for about 5 mins before we reached the so called "sure catch" spot. Joel, Gavin and their cousin, Samuel started to set up their rods. Three of them were anxious to cast their rod in. Me? Sitting down in the dark keeping a lookout for them!
It was a cold and exciting night. The strong wind blowing at the coconut trees, the swaying and the rattling of the coconut leaves above us and the reservoir waters reflecting the moonlight that was part of our 'light' there!
Suddenly, i saw lights from a distance! "Is that Rangers in the buggy?"
Immediately, everyone dropped their rods and jumped on their feet to hide. We grabbed our belongings and went scrambling behind the tall plants that were our refuge! The buggy drove up.. Very very near us, so near that any movement from either one of us, they could have spotted us.. Shortly after, they left the scene. When we were sure about their departure, we packed up our stuff immediately and left the premises. It was fun although there wasn't any haul...
We were puzzled why the rangers didn't come forward and expose us. They were very near us.. Very! The only reason we can think of is, there were too many of us. There was only 1 buggy and 2 rangers. There were 6 of us. They might be worry that we will pounce on them instead and for their own safety, they might as well leave the place and call for backup. Backup like police or fellow colleagues..
But luckily, it was a 'safe' night!
And because of a 'safe' night, i was 'blown' down with flu.. *haiz*
