FISH TANK

A million things on my mind but I found myself not having much to do today. My day would have been perfect if not with the usual planning, too much thinking and worrying which eventually lead to the usual procrastination. But anyhow, I was able to do one thing I like and I miss so much. I went to Carrefour and had a look around the aquarium shop. I browsed along the assortment of fish they have for sale and aquarium accessories. And I must say, they’re nice to see and furthermore expensive compared back home but I find the fish tanks good even if it’s a bit pricy. I decided to come to Carrefour not to buy a fish tank but to buy sea water for my cousins’ five gallon salt water tank. Since her boyfriend had been bragging, complaining and announcing about not being able to find any shop selling sea water for the fish tank. I’m guessing he was just too lazy to look around or he’s not interested at all and just waiting for other people do for him.

I wanted to surprise him and get the sense out of him. Honestly, I find him to be a “loud mouth” with his annoying, bragging, haughty talks and self centered attitude. To make things worse upon coming back from work I saw him looking at the tank. I couldn’t make up what is on his mind seeing the tank fully set up. He starts to look at me asks questions and after getting all what he wanted to know he didn’t even say “thank you” for the initiative to do the work for him. He’s the kind that really annoys me very much but I’m just keeping my cool.

So after buying what I have been looking for went back home to set up and clean the fish tank together with the bad smelling dead corals which we brought back from our trip to Port Dickson last Sunday. I felt sorry for the dead corals and some other sea creatures for dying one at a time each day because they were insistent in bringing them back home for a souvenir without knowing what to do with the loot from the sea. Unfortunately, I have to do the cleaning for them.

Back home I used to have my own fresh water aquarium with an assortment of live fish which I keep for a hobby. I used to have the usual goldfish. Tiger barb, guppy and a blue strike small fish which I forgot what to call it. I love looking and gazing at my fish tank for hours I find it very relaxing and I’m missing it very much.

How I wish I could go back and enjoy once again the things I used to do.
