Adventure with Living Things...

Great weekend! Had some minor hiccups but things turned out well. Friday plans were kinda shifted slightly back due to the monthly meeting in office. I caught almost nothing but air throughout the 1 hour plus meeting. Sleepy, due to the free long project lunchie at NYDC at wheellock place. Had abit too much causing the Zzzzy bugs.

Guppies craze in me. Basically interested to see how the guppies are born. Live bearers they are. Sel and i proceed to Yishun and Kahtib to purchse some guppies and of course the tank. Beginner into this fishy hobby. I think i should call it the guppy hobby instead of fish, coz i'm just into guppy or rather the birth of the young and innocent.

Transported from Kahtib the blackies sits in my house safely and peacefully in the ice cream tub. I filled the tank with water till the brim letting it stand alone for the next couple of days. My blackies shit so much! Friday ended late.

Saturday started off late. By the time we got to Changi Point Jetty, it was almost 1230pm. The last bum boat ride back from Pengarang is at 4 pm. We decided to postpone till this coming sat instead. Pengarang is where we were heading for a good meal of seafood. So to cover the disappointment, we decides to head to Pulau Ubin. Not in mood for cycling, we just went for the seafood and strolled along the beach near to the jetty. Peek a boo into the lives of those washed on shore by nature.

Spotted a couple of crabs, horse shoe crab, sea anemone, mussels (like those in Fish & Co), small prawnies =). As navigating through the algaed rocks, i slipped over one and fell. Kinda weird. Maybe i was stoning at that point of time cos i can't seem to remember how i fell. All i remembered was i'm sitting on algae. My pants got alage-fied. Greeny in colour. All wet..Yucky! We adventured on, digging into crab hole and looking for the crab in the hole..ha ha..

We dig out the crab from its hole. Another crab found among the rocks.


Sea anemone and mussel. We killed the mussel when opened it =(

We left in the early evening and headed down to Simei where i bought a new pair of capri to replace my greeny alage-fied pants. Walked around, nothing much to see and proceeded on to parkway for dinner at sakae.

Sunday. I took back some water plants and by evening my tank is so called ready for the fishes. The blackies are doing rather well in the ice cream container. I transferred them slowly as was taught. However, i realised that one of the male blackie was rather reluctant to move over though he finally crossed the container into the open waters of the tank. His performance started to drop. No longer a chaser to the females the night before. He isolated himself from the rest. Soon, he died. Well..guess he couldn't get use to the water condition in the tank.

6 females and 1 male. I reckoned the females bullied him. Monday morning, the other male died. Sel said my fishes are lesbians and they dun like males around =( Well.. That's wat i did for my weekend. To discover that fishes can also be lesbians. =)
