Reliving Old Times

My friend, Boh Tong is reliving old times after reading my blog.

"I used to catch lokang fishes from the kampong when I was
a kid. When I grew up and lived at Bedok area I used to catch
prawns in the sea off the East Coast. I had 2 sampans and it
was fun cos there were huge prawns. As for fishes, I would
go further out near the international water opposite Batam
and used hooks to catch them."

I am glad to be living in times when life was simple and with simple joys.  Catch longkang (drain) fishes was my pastime too.  Today, there are hardly any longkang fishes anymore.  The drains are all made of concrete and the water do not have plant or microscopic organisms which are food for fishes.  So no guppies in our longkangs today.
