Venus Bay

so ok; i couldnt sleep and i ended up sleeping at 4:30am and i got woken up at 6. =.=

so we get ready; mum's practically bringing the whole house to the beach.
but we didn't go until 8 i think... cos we had to wait for my aunts to get to our house.

so anyway; dad gets irritated whenever we're late. so he's irritated already.

we get in the car and drive to Venus Bay; and dad needed to refill the LPG tank - but since it was sunday; everything was closed. that got dad even more annoyed.

so we're on the road looking for Gas stations that refills LPG tanks; we end up finding one but the guy refused to fill my dad's tank up cos "he was busy"...

what a bastard.

anyway we get to this surf shop, where we were gonna get our Fishing Licenses but apparently they dont sell the ones we need. pah
we were told that the life Savers building near the beach sells them, so i thought - Great! we can get it while were there and it'll be one smooth motion.

so we drive to the beach and we meet my uncle and aunt who funnily enough didnt recognize us even when we were a meter/3 feet away. lol
we go to the life savers building and they tell us that it's not open until 1pm.
crap 2 hours to burn. so we just waited underneath a shelter with the rest of my uncle's party.
We ate lunch as more people came to join us and the adults then decided to change to another beach cos there'll be more pipis there. so we did.
on the way back to our cars we thought since it's almost 1pm we can get the licenses now.

we thought wrong; we had to wait 10 mins for the 1st guy from the council to get there; he then informed us that another person will be coming to bring the books/permits.
5 mins past; another jeep rolls in, they tell us that they dont have the books and they have another person dropping by to give it to them.
another 10 mins past; it's practically 1:30pm by now and a crowd of ppl who want their fishing licenses to get Pipies/fish have gathered the kiosk window.

the council people then cordially inform us that this weekend is a "educational weekend" to teach us to buy the licenses ONLINE rather than the old way. wow, they're teaching us convenience by sacrificing out time and stretching our patience...

bastards

anyway, they then tell us that the place'll be open at 2. At 2? are you serial?
so i got fed up, we devised a plan to leave a couple of people to get the permits and the rest to move on to the beach.

so that's what we did.

i think like 30 mins or so later the rest of the people came back with the permits, so we all started to dig and hunt for the pipis.

it's cool cos you gotta dig into the sand to find them cos they bury themselves as the waves rush into the shore. and they look really creepy alive.
anyway, we ended up getting like a Shiz-load of em, like 2 big buckets full.
we divided them amongst the party... kinda like an RPG or WoW :P

so after that people started to leave to go home cos the other people lived like... 3-3.5 hours away where as we only lived like 1.5-2 hrs.
a couple of us stayed behind cos we wanted to go fishing in the lake.

i didnt catch anything but it was relaxing.

we finally went home and it was dark already - i checked the time and we got home at about... 10:40pm and the rest of the people didnt leave our house until 12 i think.

anway it's 3am now... and you're probably as tired as i am... not because it's late - it's because of this Freaking Epic Long Blog.

i'll finish up.

bye :P

i remember when my family used to go on fishing trips all the time, my dad would have to go through this long process to renew his license. why the eff is it so complicated?

I would lose my patience with those bastards if it were to be a long process like yours was. Ugh, I'd smack them with a fishing pole instead. Ha.

I've never been fishing, but I heard it's relaxing. I should do so when I go back to the Philippines or at a nearby lake.

But glad you had a good time!
