“I’ve caught it!”
Just 2 weeks ago, I had my very 1st fishing.. erm prawn fishing session with my cellgroup members at FarMart over the weekend. Together with our friends and family members, we gathered at FarMart at around 3 pm and started “prawning”. It had been raining heavily since morning on that day, we were so worried that we might need to call off this event. But thank God, the rain subsided quite a bit when it was nearer to 3pm.
For most of us, it was our first attempt in prawn fishing and absolutely have no experience in that. But that was fun! We learnt the basic technique from our expert, Loke Peng and his buddy, who are regular fishermen. They showed us the techniques and tricks of getting a prawn ‘hooked’ and ultimately catching them. Sounds simple.. but in actual fact, it is really not easy. Not only we need to ‘lure’ the prawns with a good bait, we need to have patience to wait for the prawns to be lured, and pulling up at the right time to get them hooked! For 4 hours, I’ve only managed to catch 3 prawns… haha.. its not bad for an amateur! Guess what? Our top fishermen are the children Veron has brought along during this trip! Amazing!
Most important of all, all of us had a great time fellowshipping with one another. We are one step closer to one another after this event!
“… but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” - Eph 4:15-16, NKJV

P.S. Next time I will break my record for prawn fishing (at the moment the record is 0 prawn for 6 hours).
Ha ha, yes yes, it is indeed a great time at the prawning session. Pavee, hope that next time you can break your 0 prawn, in chinese we call it break the egg because egg looks like 0 so we call it break the egg. It is really good to have you around. The whole group here misses you.
