12th July, 2008 - Today I went to the fish shop, dragged by my neighbour friend. She was so so interested in those colourful guppies of different species that she spent nearly an hour just to pick 6 of those, to add on to her already many collection of guppies ! This woman ... made me wait and wait ... so I thought, heck, I might as well enjoy myself looking at all the different fishes in the shop.
Guess what? I ended up buying 15 baby koi for RM1! Isn't that cheap or what ... ha ha ... the shopkeeper was generous enough to let me have extra 2 ! Must be the Odelia charm ... yup ... sometimes being able to build affinity is a skill that can easily charm people, even strangers to warm up to you and hence, they are most friendly ! Just one of the many lessons I learnt at the Guerilla Business School .... ^_^
When I got home, Dash was so pleased with those baby koi that he wanted more after seeing them appearing so beautiful in the pond ... In fact, I thought they look really lovely, swimming away so gracefully in the pond. Wow ! a one ringgit worth of fishes giving my kids and myself a million ringgit worth of happiness ... how good is that :-) That's just the kind of simple thing in life that makes me happy !
So, in the evening, I went to the shop again together with Dash and Bob to buy another 3 ringgit worth of baby koi, that's about 60 little fishes ...... yup, the shopkeeper gave us extra (again!). When we reached home, Dash refused to let his little pets into the pond and mummy got creative ... took a 1.5litre empty plastic bottle, cut a rectangular hole, put in some pebbles and some green leaves with root still intact and in goes the little babies. Actually they look kind of frightened but after some time, they begin to swim and even feed on the fish food !
Hmm... been a wonderfully peaceful and quiet evening, a relaxing way of unwinding my tired mind... most importantly, I got to spend some quality time with the boys ^_^
