Join me in my life of a regular Singaporean. Where there is nothing to do but shop and eat.
I am a 25 year old fresh IT grad searching for a career in a highly competitive market. At the moment I spend most of my life in front of my laptop. The internet is my currency to the world while I have none to spare ($$$). Read my thoughts and opinion. My triumphs and my breakdowns. I do not seek to inspire or beg to be praised. Simply my honest takes and I am all there is. |

.::Saving Mermaid::.
.::Saving Mermaid::.
I couldn't fight off my worries for my little critter. I left the examination hall early today. A little later than my love though. I saw him walk out an hour before the time the paper ended. I left just before the last 20 minutes. No one is allowed to leave the examination hall during that period. Waiting is torture. Counted my marks and reckoned I'd manage a Credit, at least.
I was determined to visit the chain of fish shops in Sunset Way, just a few bus stops away from SIM HQ. Hazril tagged along for advice. He's the aquarium guru.
Walked into the first shop and went straight for the medication shelf. Guru said, "Ahh...too expensive. Let's go see other shops...". The second shop was a little older than the first and had more range of products than the first. Plus the owner offered more help than the first. So I purchased AquaMedi Quit Bact anti-bacterial for Mermaid's tank for $6++. And then we returned to the first shop to view the array of fishes for pleasure and other products when I had a sudden impulse to get a filter for Mermaid's tank as well. I got the smallest they have for $7++ and we're off. On the bus home Hazril offered more fishy advice.
I reached home after that and put my stuff down and set up the filter in Mermaid's tank after a 100% WC and added the medication. Well it turned out to be a lot bigger than I had expected because the filter protruded out of the water surface by 5%. My tank is really small.
Mermaid couldn't get used to it at first due to his small size, he kept getting sucked into the filter and was swimming frantically away from it but kept getting pushed away by the currents of the clean water re-entering the water surface. Poor Mermaid. I almost gave up thinking that perhaps installing this filter was a bad idea as it contributes more stress towards my sick fish so I turned it off. But then I thought I'd better let Mermaid get used to it. After all it's good for his bacterial treatment.
Looks to me now that he's managed to find a comfortable spot to float and rest while his new biological surroundings heal him.
