Two of my Kois died…

Monday, April 18th, 2005

It is a very sad day for me. sigh… two kois die in three days… so unlucky… one of the fish died unnaturally coz cant figure out how. another one died after it jumped out from the pool w/o any person notice and slowly dried up and… return to heavan. though i bought one to replace but the new fish i bought also encounter deadline last night but fortunately i came to rescue… so right now my total kois i have have been reduce to 6 instead of 7… maybe sooner or later will stock one more koi in… but as a owner, i really feel very shock and sad abt their death. especially after realising that the new koi that i bought jumped out and i rescued it. i tried my best to cover the top of the fish tank with some fence and covered up all the possible holes that they might escape but yet… they still can manage to jumped out. sigh…

New lifes have born!

I am so HAPPY today!!! Finally after so much of hard work and care for my luo han fish, the female luo han laid EGGS!!! I am so surprise to see it. I only notice that after i had my dinner and thought of feeding them the one and only meal during weekdays as i have my committment in camp from 0800 to 1700.

I think it is another challenge for me to take. Successfully breed them. I think it will definitely wont come easy and a lot of research has to be done before hand. But most importantly, i need to buy another new fish tank. hahhaa… that’s coz i cant mix the mummy together when the eggs fertilize into frag. So careful planning has to be plan and hopefully, that’s all the eggs the mum want to laid. Otherwise, i think it will definitely a problem of how to get enough fish tanks for them as u know.. i think the eggs at least have hundreds or more?

But i must say i am so happy! finally see the result on my effort to keep them healthy and good shape. Before that, when i didnt separate both male and female luo han together, they always fight around and it turns out that the female one got some injury. But i never think that maybe that’s the way how they ‘connect’ together.

Anyway, do have a look at my ablum. i took some pics to share with u all. ;)

My 1st trip to KL

Friday, April 1st, 2005

Today (1st April 05) is the first time i am going to KL. Beside JB… i doubt i havnt been to any other places in Malaysia. As i am not a true Singaporean… i dont really have the interest in Malaysia only after this trip. Applied leave for this special occassion as my dad is going down to KL with one of his friends to view their property bought as my mum ‘dump’ my dad in Singapore and went back to HK for 2 weeks for holidays..

Woke up at 0530 and left my house at 0600. Drove down to CCK to pick up my dad’s friends before heading to Woodland checkpoint. Everything was fine and the journey was smooth as we depart early. But today is the 1st time i ever drove more than 400 km ever since i got my license 2 yrs ago. The driving was shared between my dad and i. So total, we drove abt 800+ km. Amazing man and especially the speed that i drove at KL is super. Driving at average speed of 140 km/hr and sometime i even go up to 150+ km/hr. The feeling is good and i think that’s the only way to know whether you have well-spent on your car. Haha..

Upon reaching KL… the time abt 11+. Beside an early exit from the expressway which turn to be the wrong one, we hardly caught up with any jam. Just that looking out for the apartment is abit tough as it is located somehow on the hill and there is only one road going there.

The apartment looks extremely old as it started building 10 yrs ago and the company suffered a big loss during the 97 economic crusis. It has been empty for at least 3 yrs after all the architectural work are done. So the internal finish and all the facilities are somehow look old and need a lot of touch up. But there are people living there. All thanks to a Nurimg School near by where they offerred the students and lecturers cheap accomodation which my dad and his friend planning to do with their property. Sigh.. but as an educated Civil & Structural Engineer… the workmanship of the apartment is way too far to comment. Everything left by the last contractor are so badly install or touch up that i think the best way to tear down the whole building and re-build again. Anyway, after checking all the defects, the time was abt 1700+ which ws time to head back to S’pore.

Sigh.. this time round, didnt really feel the KL’s city life as it was a rush trip there and back. But hopefully, will start to plan for some trip with my friends when i am going to finish my NS. Stuffs in KL are DAMP CHEAP or i should say in Malaysia. Especially petrol. So i think definitely there will be more trip there.
