The excitement can be sensed just as you walk into the NPC premises at 84, Jalan Tangsi.
After months of so much tension, confusion and debate before during and after the general elections on March 8, some of us decided to do something about some of our pals as they were turning into grumpy old men with sour faces all the time.
This Saturday, 10 of us are off to the Kelong Paradise off Bagan Nakhoda Omar, near Sabak Bernam, Selangor. We're spending the night there to do some fishing and relax.
There were initially almost 30 interested parties, but the media being the media, most failed to gain the freedom from their regular lives. Thus a small group of 10 will be heading for the sea this Saturday.
But of those that are finally going, the kelong is all they talk about. Not all are regular anglers, but once they confirmed their participation, you could just sense those fun chilhood memories around fishing just creeping back into their minds.
Just to make it a bit competitive, we threw open a challenge and called it the Kelong Attack. Thanks to UFL, the biggest catches go home with some prizes.

Give them a call and ask for Mr. Teh Ewe Leng, a former pressman, who will be more than happy to assist you.
Next post will be about this trip and another on our trip to Kelong Acheh (pic above)on the East Coast, the following Monday, where some of us will be spending three days and two nights. (http://www.kelongacheh.com/)

Is the minister of affairs going? He may be fishing but someone else is pulling his rod.
ive been to the Kelong Acheh its an experience not to be forgotten. it was some 2 years ago with the Royal Comonwealth Society Staff's Annual Getaway.
when i was offered to join the NPC Kellong Attack Getaway i was unsure as to join or not to join them for this trip.
reason being i wanted to attend the Selangor & Federal Territory Eurasian Club AGM.
caught in between the devil and the deep blue sea as the saying goes.....i hesitated in giving my confirmation to the Arnaz, who has been after my butt to join him,poor bugger!
but then in my mind i prefer to join the Kellong Attack because i heard this trip comes with lots of beers and prizes....next morning Arnaz confirmed the trip for me with an SMS that if i dont join the Kelong Attack i will be beaten up by him, stephen and loy our caterer....hello can we take action against these buggers ah.
Minister of Affairs Dino Herrera is going. The stand-up comedian Tony Gayandato somehow found his way out!
To kelong we go...........heehaw !!!
Afterall how often do we meet huh ? It will be good to get some fresh sea air and soak in the sun with a "tiger" in my left hand and my "rod" on the other...I need a tan !
How can I go wrong ??
Cheers bro !
p.s. can we snorkel ah ? Got corals meh ?
Dear Stephen, we meet every day, you moron!!
if the minister of women affairs aint going nothing to fish what?
it may be only 6 'kellong attackers' but that did not ditter the orgy-nizer to go ahead what he had committed himself into making the arrangements for the trip.
we may not harvest the abundance of fishes swimming around us but for sure we will not deny that it was a trip well organised.
kudos to our anaz for making the trip a reality.....i enjoyed myself
