i hate to clean up a fish..

yesterday kj went out to the sea for fishing. it was drizzling when he went out at around 5 am. he was expecting to cancel the outing but the rain stopped in time for him and his friends to continue their plan.

of cos, they all are full of hope of getting fishes, but i tell you all, i was secretly hoping that kj won't get a single fish. hehehe.. dun tell me i have a "black heart", k? i got reason one. i know that the process of getting the fish caught on the fishing rod is super exciting but then hor, the aftermath is not lor. cos when he brings the fish back, i am the one who has to suffer. why? becos i got to clean up the fish. i have to clean up stomach cavity, remove the gills and surrounding tissue, and scale them. i hate cleaning the fishes, i tell you all. the smell is so fishy. den sometimes the gills are so sharp that my fingers got scratched and it is super painful. but i can tell you i am quite an expert when cleaning up a fish. LOL!!

sometimes when i am in a helpful mood, i dun mind helping cleaning out the small fishes but when i got to clean up a fish like this-

my response will be ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but luckily kj will automatically helped out this time becos that is HIS fish. i can't barely lift up this fish. it is not that heavy, i think about 6 - 7 kg but it is so slipperly and i have to stuff a piece of cloth inside the mouth and held it.

kj was super happy when he caught this fish. dun ask me what this fish is called cos i dunno. i only know how to clean, cook and eat. but the problem is this fish is super big lor, and our normal knife is very difficult to cut it up. i have to use a hammer to knock the knife becos the bone was super big. and think of the gills and scalps. ye yuckssssssss.... one word MESSY. pray pray he won't get any more this kind of fish again!! *evil grins*....

not so boring afterall..

haha, so, yesterday was not so boring actually. i tot my sundays will be spend lazily in bed, watch tv or read some books. but no, kj decided to bring me along for some outdoor activities with his bro and friends since he think i cooped up inside the house way too often.


the One Tree Hill Cafe

the smoking area of the cafe

we went to this newly opened Borneo Tropical Rainforest Resort about 9 something in the morning. this resort jus newly open last week so it's quite new. for miri ppl, there's a new place for you to have a look now, instead of just either go shopping or to the seaside. but then for me, i think it's way to expensive. RM58.50 per person which include buffet breakfast, lunch and snack. then maybe a 2 hours ride around the resort (errmm, jungle should be more appropriate). actually there's nothing much to see, as i say, it is jus a very very new resort. first, when we arrived there, we ate the buffet breakfast. din take pics of the food cos it's not super duper nice. just those normal porridge, hams, mees, eggs, cornflakes, and toast. then after that we set out for a ride around the resort. nothing to see and quite disappointed cos they jus let you see banana trees, mango trees, durian trees, and more trees lar. then they dropped us off at some super small waterfall leh and ask us walked all the way back to the restaurant. i tell you, it was super far and i was tired like hell when i reached the restaurant.

super long and steep way that we got to walked back..

one thing which i quite like it is the chalets. the chalets are quite nice and everything are sooo new. and it was built right inside the jungles and facing the lake. and of cos it is not cheap either.

the rooms

after getting back to the restaurant, we started our buffet lunch and after that kj and his frens started their activities. FISHING. if not for fishing, then i dun think they all will come lor, aiishhh. so fished and fished and fished for 3 hours while i walked here and walked there, sit here sit and sit there. finally, they decided they have enough and off we went home. overall, it's quite nice to go out once a while. but the experience there is not very good since there are not much to do. but mabbe after 2 or 3 years, when they finally developed it, i m sure it will be a popular tourist destination SINCE there is nothing to do in miri.
