Seriously.
I'm gonna pick up fishing as a hobby. Yep, you heard me right.
This is not a sudden interest, by the way. I was interested in fishing since my secondary school years. But, just as I was about to learn how to fish, I read an article in WanBao during 2002 which really made me scared of the activity.
A boy tried to cast a line and the hook kena his ear!
That cast a huge shadow over me. People who know me will know this - I have big ears. Hence, thanks to my bigger ears, I have a higher chance of getting the hook attaching itself to my ear, instead of hooking onto a fish. Learning probability during Sec 4 confirmed my suspicion - big ears equals big chance.
But! With greater age, comes greater intelligence. I have since found out that as long as I buy a damn big rod, and use a damn long line, and use a damn small hook, I'll cut the probability of getting an ear piercing by three times. Yep, that's right. Three. Big rod + long line + small hook = 3. Simple arithmetic.
Hence, I shall start to fish next weekend. As a matter-of-fact, I have already started practising. On my PC. Well, we usually start with the theory part first, right?
Check out my first catch:
For the uninformed, the Chinese wordings say that the species of the fish I caught is Oo-Si-Ban. I think it means Osbourne fish. I've heard that these Osbournes eat bats. Scary. No wonder the fish's tail turned blue. Must be sick from all the germs.
