Fishing ....

Since my brother came back for good, he has been taking over the care and maintenance of dad's fish ponds at our village. Dom is an avid angler and, to date, has added on a variety of fish species to the pond. It used to be a pond for catfish and red tilapia only. But nowadays, he had added pacu, patin and siakap. The latter was an experiment on his part. He added them last week :-) all 100 of them ....

Dom is setting the simple canvas cover in case it suddenly rains ...while my cousin got the fire going ...

We did a few rounds of fishing ...i dont really like to fish here coz I am scared of catfish ..they are one ugly creature ..with its long mustache! but for an angler, catfish is good as it gives as good as it get when they got hooked to the bait ....i prefer the little fish compared to catfish ...but i went to fish here so that i can help to keep an eye on Al ...he was jumping up and down when daddy gave him his own fishing rod ..and surprise surprise ...he managed to catch a toman fish ...he face just light up with happiness ...hehehehehe and keep on shouting lol ....the way he sounded was like he managed to land a big white shark instead hahahahaha ....but sadly no picture, coz i was busy trying to steer him away from the edge of the pond ....and my camera was under that canvas thingy at the time

he was impatient! Daddy did not allow him to go near the water edge till the canvas was set up ..and till daddy checked all the railing are sturdy ...hehehe ...and mummy cant wait to go to the rambutan tree to get some rambutan for us

view from the other side of the pond ...this photo was taken by the little monkey :-)

Dad was saying (just the other day) that we should bring the kids for these sort of activities more often ...as kids this day and age are very much out of touch with nature ...all they are familiar with are tv, iPad, lappy, online games ...and it would be good to toughen them up ...emmmm i think he has a point there :-)
