A night on the kelong

Cont’

So, as mentioned on my prev post, we were practically lazing around, playing card games, snacking, lazing around and waiting for dinnertime…

Dinner & Shower
@ 6.30pm, the long awaited evening arrived and it’s time for dinner!! Being on a kelong, what can we expect but sumptuous seafood for dinner? I simply love the steamed fish, it was soft and sweet. *slurp slurp* I think the 4 of us enjoyed our dinner very much, savoring the tasty soup and the crabs.

After dinner, it was time to wash up. Fresh water was delivered from the mainland and stored in huge pails and we were to scope them up with cups. Each person is entitled to only 1 pail of water for shower. Surprisingly, it was enough for one to get a clean wash and of course, I brought along a 1.5 litres of mineral water for washing my face.

Supper & Sleep
BBQ supper started around 11pm, but as I’ve just showered, I decided to forgo it and catch the World Cup – Germany and Sweden instead.

It was difficult to get into sleep as the guys were cheering for the WC and it was also quite stuffy. But the weather changed to chilly when it rained about 3 plus in the morning and I felt super cold despite having jacket on and even resorted to using the pillows to cover my legs. keke
