Lily and guppy

This is from my other pail which holds my lilies. It has been blooming non-stop, one after another. I don't usually get to enjoy the blooms as I will be at work when the flower opens fully under the hot sun. So it is in the weekends that I get to catch its beauty.

My happy guppies and my big orange long-kang fishes. They just grew very large (size of a thumb) after I fed them with the fish food produced by Tetra (a German brand).

Make-shift Pail

The leak in the pail that holds my Lotus plant just got worse and I had to remove the pail to have the base fixed. The pail has to be put aside for a week for the silicone to dry properly so that the fish don't get killed by any chemicals. So what to do as a temporary pail?

It so happened that a neighbour bought a new tv and threw out his tv box at the lift landing. So, I helped myself to it, took it home, taped trash bags on the outside to keep the paper dry from when the cleaner comes around to wash. I re-used the huge plastic wrapping from my TV. Put the plant in and poured tons of water into it. Viola.

Big and ugly, even weird but it saves my plant for the time being.

First Toy and Comic Convention

Our Lion City held its first ever toy and comic convention. According to the news, the response had been overwhelming. It was over only three days and I went on the last day, Sunday, by then it was not as packed (thankfully) but still very busy. Still had to jostle with people. There were some cute looking toys.

Part of the fun was seeing people in costume. I suspect, every toy or comic fair will have something from Star Wars.


On the whole, it was an okay event for me. I wasn't too excited by the stuff there. I mean there was nothing from my favourite manga artist there - Chen Uen. To me, he is the ultimate MASTER. Sci-fi Anime is often breath-taking the first half hour and then after that, the story gets convoluted and heavy and philosophical and totally numbs my brain.

If there is anything I went away with from this event, it would be the Wii products. There's this pad that people stand on and the pressure from the feet lets the system know if you are tilting left or right, so you have these games such as you as the gate-keeper bending left and right trying to knock the balls out of the goal post. Hmm..kind of interesting. Still monitoring what else they have out there before I get something to help me get some exercise.
