He once joined the Spore Anglers Club for a fishing trip to Mauritius and caught a huge marlin whose head alone was as big as Peter's 2 'babies'. He got someone to stuff the head and send back to Spore and put it up in his living room. That alone cost as much as the original fare of his fishing trip.<BR/><BR/>Later he gave up fishing saying it was cruel and against his Buddhist belief.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-6878209039149853402008-12-07T14:26:00.000+08:002008-12-07T14:26:00.000+08:00No bikini never mind.

Even "baby stuff" cost me my left arm - plenty of muscle aches for a few days.<BR/><BR/>Victor - Cabo has no white beaches, only cliffs. For that you must go to Cancun. Nearer home is in the Philippines's Subic Bay area if u want to do a "Bat Watch" but the beach not good quality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-90663386368089916132008-12-06T23:00:00.000+08:002008-12-06T23:00:00.000+08:00Peter, any nice cabo (Hokkien for "girls") there? ...Peter, any nice <I>cabo</I> (Hokkien for "girls") there?

Matured marlins usually weigh not less than 200 kilos. An angler who lands such a big catch would find himself completely exhausted becasue marlins are fighters and they don't give up easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
