The art of fishing

In semester 10, we are required to learn the fine art of fishing and its humongous secret(s).
Yes, and i do mean fishing.

Well, you see,
before all of us graduate into the real world,
first and foremost,
we gotta learn something
something to survive out there

And, this holy task of educating us to be top notched imu grads,
is devised in a way that not many could understand..
well basically, the task the admin ppl had to do
was to throw us to H. Batu Pahat,
to learn.. LEarn.. LEARN...it!

but... learn wa-what?

Simple.
We were required to write up catch ten cases big rare/interesting fish-ies..
well, initially, 10 does sound like an easy task,
come on, i could easily net 10 in a month in seremban!
what's the big deal!? - so. i. thought.

Hence,
armed with good spirits, some fishing rods, some cacings and sampans we took from seremban..
we waited...
and waited...
and waited.....


Not long,
we came to our senses to realize that interesting cases big fishes are scarce
Suspicion amongst us grew like wild fire.. who is catching all the fish-ies?
Did some use bigger more canggih super fish nets while some others are using kampung style fishing rods?
Did they arm themselves with ultrasound guides?
Or did some built their own fish farms?

Ahh...
Out of desperation and fear..
We all failed to see the big picture.
the reason was s i m p l e.
it was a small pond,
the fishes were limited. the demand outweighs the supply.
We just got to be patient and have faith.

But, it wasn't that easy to learn new things.. things that you thought you knew, but wasn't tested.
i too realize that my angels were on holiday starting from 2nd week onwards..
i got nothing but broken bones, head contussion, rib fractures tins cans, twigs, boots, false alarms, and not to mention falling into the cold water for a few times. Jumbled together with the roller coster adrenaline charged rides you get, when you suddenly feel a tug (gasp) - immediately your spirits run high thinking :yeah finally its my turn and im getting 1!! but it crashed down so badly when you realize it has already bitten somebody's cacings..

Oh anyway..
as the saying goes, Everything comes gradually and at its appointed hour.
i caught one biggy during the last 3 days of my posting! yea! after 4 weeks of tincans-twigs-boots-of DRAUGHT!
so adding to the 1 biggy during the very first week, i'm now safely in comfort zone.
Phew, was that close! my angels came back just in time!

So, did the holy plan managed to educate us ?
Hopefully.
Instilling
patience.
absolute faith in your guardian angles
and to accept that life isn't always fair, for some hidden reasons that we couldn't possibly understand.
to us ego-maniacs-knuckle heads.. would certainly not be an easy task..

but hey, we are not yet old dogs who can't learn new tricks right?
