Auntie Angela organised a "prawn fishing" trip on 25 January 2007, at the new Bottle Tree Park at Yishun. It's a new place, where there is a prawn pond for patrons to fish and then eat at the restaurant afterwards. Gwendolyn refused to take a nap in the afternoon, but strangely enough, Papa Mama didn't tell her that we're going to try something new that night. Anyways, as we were trying to locate this park and look for information from the internet, we could only find information about the Bottle Tree Village, which is further in from Yishun, all the way into Sembawang. Nevermind, we followed Auntie Angela's instructions and finally found our way there. Unfortunately, it was raining...the kids cannot play at the playground. But still, they proceeded with the "prawn-fishing".
Lyn Lyn was so excited. As usual, she kept saying : I do, I do...but she was not patient and keep moving the fishing rod around...no prawn came for her bait. However, when we see Uncle Barry, Auntie Christina and Yasuko Jie Jie managed to fish for a few, we started to get a little excited...finally, Papa managed to fish ONE prawn...and that's our 1 and only prawn for that night! Oh well, $14.50 to buy a prawn, together with the fun experience, it's worth it...

After the fishing, we went back to the restaurant for our dinner. As Lyn Lyn is very tired, she kept asking for white rice only, so that she can stuff herself and sleep immediately...she fell asleep even when she was still eating the rice...
