1 more month to........Christmas!!

That was totally random but it never fails to amuse me how time flies, and realise how all the malls and roads will be packed with people doing christmas shopping, taking photos of christmas trees and lights etc, and that also means time to crack my brains on what christmas gifts to buy! (and to find time to go searching for them).

But before that, cheeky and I are embarking on adventures to various places in Singapore in search for venues for our photoshoot!!
We went Changi coastal walk (I would certainly love to do a shot standing in the middle of the road with trees shadowing the whole long and straight path, provided we don't get knocked down), we checked out Punggol waterways (with lots of kids playing on a weekend), and lorong halus (very nice and quiet and well-hidden place only accessible by bicycle or on foot)

Part of THE punggol waterway, and yes, with lots and lots of constructions going on all around it.

Now that's the Lorong Halus bridge and we're amazed how it links punggol and pasir ris, and even more amazed it's just a stone's throw from all the pasir ris fish farms and we're so near it almost every week! And look at how empty it is on a rare bright and sunny saturday afternoon!!

Now cheeky is all more tempted to get a bicycle... hmmmm...

We love nemo

What an overdue post because I've been so busy with work and stuff, but nonetheless, what beats ending each day than seeing my loves.

Some things are love at first sight, some builds up over time. Nemo to me was undoubtly love at first sight. I was taken by surprise when cheeky told me 'let's do a nemo tank!' I thought he was joking because it was meant to be part of our new house project, but no, he was serious (and indeed very hardworking when it comes to research).
And so we started our project nemo, travelling from pasir ris to lim chu kang to get the equipments, starting with making salt water, to buying rocks and sand, to testing the water parameters, getting all the pumps, skimmer, chiller, filters going, to finally getting our lovely pair of nemo! Lots of money, time and effort spent, but we're loving it!

Look at these silly little fishies, I can just sit at the sofa and look at them swim all day, no wonder they are called clowns.

And we added other creatures like the gobies that look perpetually sad, doctor shrimp, pistol shrimps as the gobies companion, some snails, 2 sea urchins that can never stop pooping, a wrasse that really lies down in the sand to sleep at night. And lots of corals!

Look at that cute sad face, how to not love them too?

My cute little urchin that is also a pooping machine.

I was trying to take video of how my little doctor shrimp plays with it's shedded shell, but spot the pooping machine on top!!

And initially I only thought of keeping nemo and other fish, until we started playing with corals. These little living things have amazing power of changing sizes with light and serves as great playground for my nemos.

That's our little sun coral that's finally in full bloom weeks after buying it. 

Now besides catching movies and catching up on sleep during weekends, we have lots of new places to go and explore! And having crazy ideas of how to do up the tank in our new house!
