I found out a little bit about my father's childhood and it amazes me how fun it was in their time even without the computer games.

Before the HDB was established, my family lived in sentosa island, i knew this long ago but i remember when i first heard, i was like woah don't try pull my legs. Anyway, my father and my uncles fished almost everyday, for fun and also because they need to eat.

He told me that once they almost caught a two meter long stingray (very deadly), they had to cut it loose because when the stingray eloped, my uncle saw a monster, it was massive and he panicked. Thus, cutting it loose. What a waste...

They lead a fearless life, all they care for is the fishes and crabs. If they spotted a crab, and if a cobra happens to be hanging above it, they wouldn't give two shit to that cobra. They would still go for the adorable crabs. Reason? I don't know either.
But I'm guessing that maybe cobra do not attack unless they feel threatened.

This is the last story that he told me. It was a close encounter with the sea deadliest snake, i didn't catch the name but it was THE most venomous snake in the sea. Okay, that creature actually climbed up my father's feet when he was on a rock in the shallow shore. Fortunately for him, he was wearing long pants and didnt get bitten by it. So he froze still for three second and jumped as far away as he could from the rock, and he landed on another pile of rocks, flat down... damn sway HAHA. Hence, injuring his entire body.

Not 100% convinced either, think he was boasting. hahah.
