Oh well, back to school. Gee, Sec 4 already, can't believe I'll be taking my 'O' levels at the end of the year. All our teachers got changed this year, much to our annoyance... which also means we have to take another diagnostic test. Darn.
Well, no use dwelling on the present when it's so unpleasent, let's move back to Christmas, my favourite holiday, when presents are opened... and err... more presents are... opened. So, anyway, this year's Christmas was quite fun, except for the lousy DnD game that was conjured up. I swear, my cousin must have bought a 'bag of cheap, home-made campaigns +250'. Of course, he is the DM, so let's just hope he doesn't read this entry...
I got this really cool Wood Elf Dragon from my bro, which I hope to be able to paint it within a time period of one and a half months of solid painting. I also got a few books and a picture frame from my cousins on my Father's side.
On the other side of the family, we played a Secret Santa game, each cousin would get another cousin a present based on a draw. Of course, no one would know who was getting them the present, which was part of the fun. I got a pack of 'Dare to Date' cards from... Jocelyn???!!!!! And of course, I gave Reuben a book "I moved your cheese".
Finally, another koi died... *sigh*... I came back, but sadly, the legendary Koi master was unable to save the poor, bed-ridden koi from the evil disease (At least I think it was a disease). And so, as my friend quite quaintly put it, "The diseased koi is now deceased". Of course, the rest of the koi seem fine and should grow and prosper under my gentle, loving care... heh heh!
Posted by Ming at January 2, 2003 06:20 PMI don't know how many fishies you have left. We have one koi. The other one died of disease (illness). My parents said that it could have been caused by bacteria. You might want to watch out for your other fishies though: it can be passed throughout the whole group. I'm just wondering if this is why your koi keep dying off. I mean, the germies have to go somewhere after their hosts die right? and since there is probably another living host not more than a foot away, it's quite possible that they might just migrate. Suggestion by 'rents: go to a petstore/fish expert and find out how to nuke your problem in the bud!
