Mandai Pond Waterfall at Full Force

After the afternoon showers, water was running everywhere.

The canal next to the entrance to Mandai Pond.

The over flow on the road.

Just look at the force of the water current.

Dangerous to cross this crossing on foot.

Full force.

Uncle Chui can't wait to get his newly tied flies to the red tilapias.
He was rigging his fly rod as he walked towards the fishing spot.

The waterfall is all white with running water.

White waterfall.

Over flow from the big pond

Looking from the top of the waterfall

Two colours. Red and Orange.

My turn to get one. With a yellow shrimp from Uncle Chui.

Uncle Chui got another red tilapia

A full coloured red fish

Tan also get his red tilapia

Look at the super red colour of this fish

Catch and released. Okay Catch and throw.
No lah.
He just caught another Red Tilapia.

Another beautiful specimen.

All Quiet At New Zealand River

Just took a picture while waiting for Uncle Wong to arrive.
The car just turned out of Upper Peirce as I press the shoot button and there were two old ladies inside.
They stopped by and asked if there was anything I need.
Sweet old ladies.

Ady getting ready

As usual Wong got his fish first

Sun was just rising over the horizon.
I was expecting the usual peacock bass feeding frenzy.
No............................ they didn't turn up to party.

Jimmy also caught a peacock bass and is seen taking pictures of it.
I can only stand and admire and take pictures of him shooting the peacock bass.

Jimmy releasing the peacock bass.

Uncle Wong casting again.

Finally.
Before we were about to call it a day, this wee little fellow obliged me.

Jas Gordon Cave Bamboo Rod

Closer look at the fly.

Jimmy and his friend.

Ady also had another catch before we left the place.

As usual, we meet up at this place to tell our fishermen's lies.

This hawker's assistant was starring at me.
He was thinking I was mad.
Hawker stall also take picture.
This is the noodle stall which is one of our favourite.
The dry noodle is delicious.

When the noodles arrived, I showed Uncle Wong the ter-kwa. (Pig Liver)
Never mind, next time I'll bring a CCTV. (Singapore joke)
Muahahahahahahaha
