Today had been a bit productive for me... hehehe... even though I was skiving most of the day. But it was productive nonetheless.As the procrastinator I was, I planned to clean my aquarium on Sunday, when Kris brought me to the Bird & Fish Place just behind our place to get my aquatic plants. Upon arriving home, I just plonked the 2 pots into the tank & promised my goldy that I would clean it that night. But I made some spiced muffins & soon it was time for dinner & I had to get that organised... and then I was too tired to do anything else.
But last night, I saw goldy looking extremely pale & was floundering at the bottom of the tank amidst all that green mould growing around the pebbles. YUCK!!
So, I got up this morning, curbing the urge to watch the X-Men II I've recorded on Sunday & started on the tank. Two hours after & a prettier aquarium all scrubbed & sorted, I was still worried cos goldy was still floundering... maybe he was just sulking... Luckily, after 5hrs, goldy is swimming happily in & out of the hydrilla & long grass blades (i forgot what it's called)... and Kris just asked me to put in a conch shell in there. I thought he was just decorating the table we've got the aquarium on & had left it there for more than 2yrs!! harharhahrar... but he was just wondering why I didn't put it in there. Well, at least I could now that goldy is big enough, remembering that time when Ezzy had her conch shell in her tank & one of the fishies curiously got trapped in it & she had to fish it out with her bare hands. hehehe... Well, the tank looks crowded now, but it's nice... It's like having a new furniture in your lounge. You'll get used to it, goldy.
Also, after the cleanup, I decided I wasn't going online, but was gonna call & book the venue for the wedding. Megan, the assistant facilities booking officer at the council office, was really nice & even emailed me all the necessary documents & invited me to have a look at the building next week.
This building has got a hall for 86 people (in a wedding situation), a meeting room, a domestic kitchen with basic utensils plus a fridge, a large courtyard with wide verandahs, 26 parking bays + 2 accessible bays, a huge park & a playground nearby. And all these is for $29/hr!! They've got their own tables & chairs so we can save on that, and it's less than 5mins drive from our place!! In fact, we're only 3 streets up from the venue.
Kris likes the sound of it, and hopes that we can get that place. And he wants to have a look at the place so that we can measure up the tables & watnots so that we can get proper layout planned out as well as get the decorations & table covers done accordingly... yippiez...
And today, Kris doesn't want me to cook... we're just gonna have some leftovers from last nite & I'm gonna pack him a couple of sandwiches for lunch tmrw... double yippiez... and while I wait for him to finish showering so that we can go shopping, I'm just posting this up.
oh one last thing, Firdaus is here in Perth!! hehehe... Gonna catch up with him soon cos he needs shopping too... he didn't bring his luggage to Perth, can u believe it?! Neither can I... but yeah, he didn't bring anything!! hehehe...
