Prayers

Life's a little bit more bearable since I have other living things at home. I was told plants and pets pray for you if you take good care of them. I want to believe that.

Maybe it's time for me to further my studies. Yes, it is.

I'm in Alor Star now, via Firefly. My first time on a propeller airplane. Excited and scared at the same time. I'm always paranoid when I'm put in position where I don't have control. Yea, trust issues...

The flight was delayed by 40mins because of the bad weather.

Arrived Alor Star close to 10pm, instead of at 9.25pm. Then got an SMS from a government officer asking whether I'm going to the launch, and if so, she wanted to reserve a seat for me, on stage. Yeah, rite! Like hell I'm gonna seat on stage! Told her my flight was delayed, and I don't have proper attire. But it felt good being considered tho.

Thank you my plants and pets for your prayers. Hahahaha...

Aquascaping - evolution in 8 months

Taken on 8 Dec 2009

Taken on 11 Dec 2009 - After spending some cash buying plants.

Taken on 2 January 2010
- Included a pair of guppies and 12 neon tetras

Taken on 8 January 2010 - Bought some hairgrass plants, which died a few weeks later. Pissed, so i changed the whole top cover to include actual full spectrum light.

Taken on 10 February 2010 - Added few plants, and killed lots more. Neon tetras getting smaller in size, guppies starting to spawn. But full spectrum light starting to spur growth of plant. But I need to maintain the CO2 and temperature.

Taken 1 July 2010 - Java fern moss covered whole driftwood. Guppies spawned like there's no tomorrow. Fifi, the female albino guppy in the centre, is now gone. She left quite a number of offsprings, some of which retain her albino color. The original guppies which I bought are now gone, and all in the aquarium, about 50+ of em, are the pioneers' offspring.
