Singlish word: Sian. From the Hokkien dialect.
Used to express boredom or when feeling tired of a situation.
Aka: I'm so tired of that. / Not again.
Examples:
  • Not again?! Sian......
  • (Narrowly missing the bus after running for it) Sian!
  • It's the holidays and I'm stuck here with this project. Sian.
  • Instant noodles again for the fifth time this week? Sian.
Prawning fishing
Prawn fishing, or prawning, is a popular past time among Singaporeans. To soak in the Singapore atmosphere, it is better to 'prawn' in the evenings and on weekends. Prices average at about $15 per hour per fishing rod, and comes with bait for catch, usually raw cockles. Charges per hour get cheaper by the hour, usually $25 for 2 hours and $30 for 3 hours.

1. Head to the counter, make payment and you will receive a rod.
2. Pick up some bait (usually at the payment counter in disposable condiment saucers).
3. Grab a net (to put your catch in).
4. Pick a spot to prawn from, tie your net to a hook (or anything else)
5. Hook some bait on and you're good to go!

Tip: If you are completely lost and haven't caught anything in half an hour, get help! Feel free to approach the staff and they would be more than willing to teach you the basics of prawn fishing. If the patron prawning next to you is having a good catch, just ask for help. Enthusiasts are normally willing to give some tips.

There are barbecue pits available too. When you are done, rinse the prawns under the tap at a sink you will find, and skewer them (plates and disposable skewers are available. If not, bring your catch home for a good seafood meal.

Some prawning locations in Singapore are open 24 hours so if you are more of a night person, prawning might be a good activity for you in Singapore (other than having supper of course). Some locations also offer fish and crabs for catch!
