Megabass Singapore held it's very first fishing competition right here at Aunty's Pond at Neo Tiew.
It is a saltwater pond and only limited to 40 competing anglers.
40 is just right for a pond that size.
Every angler has their own comfortable space.
As I am not participating in the competition, I was asked to help out with marshaling duties.
Basically verifying legibility of contestants' catches and award points accordingly.
I gladly accepted as I know that Andrew is in need of manpower due to some previous unpleasant hooha with the initial group of volunteers which I couldn't care less to elaborate.
Worked till 4am yesterday night, went home and slept for 3 hours, overslept and running late, raced to fetch Shawn at his workplace then to Aunty's Pond for pre-event crew briefing.

Ming arrived late and had us worried for awhile. We thought he overslept. |
