prawns

notice how Singapore is one of the few places who refer to prawns to loosely as to even call those small shrimps 'prawns'. probably the result of there being no distinction between the sizes of prawns in Mandarin, and then some champion just wanted to make his shrimps sound grander and thus i guess sell for higher price or something. see the capitalistic nature of chinese people?

anyway, this blog doesnt address tt. i went prawning for the first time the other day, and I just thought we all in the grander scheme of things seem to resemble this huge pond of prawns waiting to be baited up by this piece of meat that we place at the hooks. seems like this huge movie starring:

Us as: the prawns being farmed
the temptations of society: the little pieces of meat hooked on the hook
the addiction of those temptations: the hook

notice how when the prawns are being caught up, they dont seem to have a big reaction. its just very periodic that they have this huge jerk. they dont even struggle tt much when you remove their 'claws'. fresh water prawns have these mini lobster like claws that are very flexible and they claw you when you get near to them. notice how we sometimes arent even aware that we are hooked onto something. games, cigarettes, even somethings as subtle as make up.. etc. notice how there isnt a struggle to get out of those because we arent even aware in the first place tt we are 'hooked'. kinda shows how well those temptations conceal the hook when you first take the bite.
