Peacock Bass

This was the first PB landed on 24 Nov 2008 at Lower Seletar Reservoir and released back into the water. Most of the anglers at LSR practise catch-n-release (CNR) mainly because luring is a recreational sport; besides, I'm told the Chinese and Malays don't eat PBs because of its 'muddy' taste' - it being a fresh-water species. However, several China foreign workers fish regularly here using baits, though this is illegal in our reservoirs. They rake in small and medium-sized ones and cart them home to eat.

Hello Mr Low. Heard that you have retired from teaching.

I hope that you have enjoyed your teaching journey throughly complete with all its ups and downs!

I have recently purchased a Nikon D300 and Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8. I am very interested in wedding photography.

We should meet someday for coffee:)(of course coffee is on me)

All the best:D

Yup. Teaching is both a calling and passion and with fire in the belly, teaching is a life-long endeavour.
