Kissing Gourami

Everything happened too fast. I bought the Kissing Gourami. Early morning, my mum mentioned about keeping "Kissing fishes". I did some researched after breakfast and found that its a rather intersting fish. Kisses can go for as long as 25 mins.

In a article that i read, Kissing Gourami makes nice Valentine's Day gift as compared to the normal ordinary roses. So, whoevere is reading this blog, maybe the next Valentine's Day, u can buy a pair of Kissing Gourami for ur love one.

He told me that Kissing Gourami is a seasonal fish and it might not be in season now. As we made our way for to Jalan Besar auto shop, we popped by a fishy shop. Surprised! they actually have the fishes that we both wanted. The catty fish which he wanted was at a super cheap price and kissing gourami was selling at a reasonable price as well. So we decide to return to the shop before it close for the day.

We went on venturing into the bugis area and got all our necessary things down. Under the hot late afternoon sun, we made our way back to the fish shop. He caught the 2 most active Gourami for me. Then we adjourned home.

Did the norm to release the fishes into my cluttered tank. My mum commented that they are not loving enough. The fact is that they are not fighting. The kissing comes about not coz of love or mating, but rather the kiss come about when they fight. They fight in a kissing manner. Well, they are both from different tanks when we caught them. Guess they got to familiarised themselves before becoming "loving".

Saturday Night

I really enjoyed myself. Though he was late but still i cheered up and left all the unhappy grumbles behind. The evening started very well. He was really tired from the cycling trip. Steps were slower then usual. But its okie =)

We made our way to parkway. Started to shop for all the bbq things. Took us about 1.5 hours. Though getting late, i was very happy. It was some wat like amazing race. We went to 3 different super markets to get different things. He bought live prawns from Ubin. They were still alive all the time. Ticking in the bag.

Adjourned to the East Coast Park, found ourselves a stone table and the real excitement started. Its the first time both of us use the portable BBQ pit. Was kind of clueless to it. But well, we managed in the end. It was the first time, estimation of food was way beyond our limits. We started cooking. The night was cool. The moon shone brightly, illuminating the entire night sky.

Experimenting food and taste, the experiment didn't turn out well at certain time. But its okie. There's always the first time to everything. Most importantly, its the company. It ended rather late. Both were so tired but it was really enjoyable. Looking forward to our next BBQ.

Thousand and one reason when a guy is late

Okie, well..here i am backed again. If u had read the previous post, i'm simply 101% right. Its 5 pm and he's still on his way back to main land. There's always so many reasons which they can provide. Countless of reasons...101 reasons. Sorry, but i simply just detest it. He's going to be 1 hour god damm late.

Yes, i insisted on that shower cos i dun want to go out with a smelly and dirty person. I want to start the evening nice and brand new. Shower and going home time was put into consideration for our meeting time. He's late as USAUL. Whats new and special?

Listen to his late reasoning later on? Well, i shall see wat he has to say. Simply just put acrossed in 3 words. "POOR TIME MANAGEMENT". Something which GUYSSSS will never admit. Why poor time management? Oh..the guySss (see its the GUYSSSSS again! cos all guys work the same. They inbuild the same god damm ego machanism) will go in a poor pathetic manner which can't simply put across the message "I NEED TO GO. I'M LATE FOR MY NEXT APPOINTMENT". Simply because, they dun want to lose face. Get a life GUYSSSS! Staying late for a previous appt and be late for the next won't leave u with a better impression.

Well, come to think about it, the guys are kind of pitiful. Just a simple, sweet short sentence and they can't seem to put it acorss. Well, this just make the gals feel proud. I'm sorry guys.. can't helped it.

I waited...and waited...

It was an aimless day. As usual, my faithful body alarm woke me up at 7 am. I laid on the bed waiting for time to pass. I am, yes i am, suffering from a very bad mood swing. I really had to supressed it with my mind cos i know how much this mood swing will affect him. Its one of the few times i tried to calm myself, to sweet talk myself. But its really worning me out. Like a dormant volcano, i feel like just erupting.

Like a dispatched, i did what i promised to do in the morning. I took the NEL line to renew the parking for his bike. I came back home with nothing to do in mind. I rotted and waited for his return from the Ubin island with his colleagues. As expected, i knew he will be late and indeed, i was proven right. My mood swing made my worn out mind thought through some things. Things which will not come about in beautiful moments. Ugly side i will say.

I took a long nice shower as time approaches 4 pm. I grumbled to myself about the poor time management he have. 4 pm to reach mainland. I think that will never happen. I'll prob think 5 earliest. For a moment, i asked myself. Am i supposed to tolerate and to be more understanding? But another side of me battled the answer YES. Simply because, it clearly state to me that both party have to be understanding towards each other. Its always not fair for one party to give in and wait. Like and endless wait.

So i dropped the sms on him. Though he mentioned something sweet for this evening BBQ, i was somewat still displeased. Its all about time management. Its something which i really hated from the start especially when he's out with his colleagues and friends. Because the feeling of taken forgranted is so strong.

I do believe all relationships have its downside and is how both party wants to tackle and face the problem. I reminded him last night and he said i was a nag. Maybe indeed i was. Next time, i'll just keep quiet. Time will prove things to me. Repeated incidents sets a strong image in my mind. Two consequences to it. Either to get used to it? or the image just gets worst and in the end, its no longer bearable. Well, why wait util that stage? that's what i will asked myself. But really, it takes two to clap.

Well, the evening awaits me. Will it be a beautiful one? or will it be a explosive eruption? I dunno. All i know is, i'm just tired from the wait. But i'm just too lazy to do something productive.

Ahem...Holiday's over

A fine long weekend. Incredibly spent with XX. Had a super duper relaxing or how the hokkien will call it "nuah" weekend till i got so tired when i reached home on sat night that i fell into a super deep sleep. For a moment, i didn't realised the power of "nuah" can be so great to worn me out.

Movie marathon, tapioca chip, tortilla chips, roasted ducky, roasted chicken, durians, laksa, eggs, bread, vegetarian, pizza, drumblets, orange juice, apple and aloe vera, pepsi, cup noodles, apples, coconuts. Gorged by all these "healthy" food for the entire long weekend.

The sun, the food, the movie, the shopping, the munch, the nap, the movie, the munch, the food, the munch, the sleep, the moon. It rotates by itself. Believe it or not, its tiring when the routine is finally over. But its fun. It takes lots of stamina to achieve the ultimate level. I'm still at the early stage of mastering the art of "nuah". I'm the first to knock out in each round. Watch the screen till the screen watched me half the time. Munch till i bloster the tapioca chips to nap in my arms.

Walking down the East Coast Park can never be as romantic and cozy as the walk down the Desaru beach. Though Desaru beach is not the nicest beach on earth...But ECP is far far off the scale of beautiful and clean..The supposed search of sea anemoe failed despite of the low tides. I didn't get my capri algae-fied this time round =) Spotted a new outlet of GrapeVine at Katong area and had "candle light" dinner there. "Candel light" cos each table had a small short fat lighted candle. hee hee.. Those who are familiar with the area, is a couple of stalls down from the Katong laksa. Recommended for the soccer fans who wanna have a cuppa drink, pub food, decent dinner to go there to chill out. Nice place. Ambience slightly better then the one at Serangoon Branch.

One of the coolest and happiest weekend i've ever spend. Never been so fun and lovely before. Haven been so great since the Desaru trip. Really looking forward to the new year count down. Sadly, i won't be in town to spend Xmas. I think i should be somewhere in one of the cold mountains in China.
