Upgrades!

We upgraded to a bigger tank. Like a few cms bigger je.. I din think it was necessary cz we were still struggling to maintain the previous tank. Tapi dah DH nak. Ikut jela. Kang tak bagi memerap plak.. I married a child. What can i say.

Bought a blue tang today. Also known as dory in finding nemo ;)

Upgraded tank


We bought this starfish like a week ago. Cuma susah nak amek gambar sbb dia dok menyorok kat blakang batu.


Im starting on wow today. New expansion is coming out in a week. Gotta learn the macros and stuff.

And squash too! Omg how i miss the sport! My fitness has gone wayy low cz ive been doing stuff i aint supposed to but it shouldnt be a problem to get it back to normal cz i know exactly how to. Gotta be super disciplined though.

New stuff in the tank

Went to subang again yesterday. Spent on these..
Nemos in anemones comel kan

I dont know these fishes names






Overall new tank arrangement



Aku nak beli clam.. Tapi DH xbagi sbb mahal. Takut nanti mampos sbb air tak stable lagi. Beli anemone besar gila yg murah je boleh.ish. Perasaan nak tu sampai termimpi2 tau. Haha. Takpela.. Janji the clowns have somewhere to play.

Clowns that are captured from the ocean will immediately make anemones in a new tank their home, whereas tank breds prefer to linger around wide space. So if you want your tank to look like an authentic seascape, get stuff that came from the sea! Cuma bende dari laut ni mungkin susah nak acclimate to tank conditions and they might have like a short life la kan.tapi takpe la, usaha maju jaya weh.

I had a look at the new civic for the first time yesterday while we were stuck in traffic on federal highway. Dang sonn, it sure is ugly. I like the previous one a thousand times over. Crz kan menjadi kegilaan skarang. Dari depan dari blakang, cantik gak. Tapi dari tepi mcm tahik. Bagi aku la kan. Aku boleh komen on looks je sbb aku xpenah bawak. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder lol.Tapi kete jepun, bak kata DH, dari segi estetik mmg cap ayam. Bawak ok. Tak bole lawan continental though.

Aku nak main wow ni, tapi dok dang. Asek tido je lepas nege smpi petang buat keje patu malam dah tak ramai kat server sbb mat salleh tido. Nak ramai kene main dlm kol 1a.m onwards. Malas la nak bejaga.. Taknak bengkakkan lagi mataku yang dah sembap ni. Kang tambah hitam plak habishhh tau. MOP nak keluar dah on the 25th but DH and me, were so unprepared. Damn.

So it died

The sick fish died sometime yesterday while we were out getting the test kit.

Now the other one looks sick. And its not eating either.. Something is wrong with the water. I checked the nitrate level and it was pretty high, as the recommended value should be 0. Should check the ammonia level too, unfortunately the tester for it wasnt included with the set. Gotta go buy the fish test kit next.

Nevertheless, the invertebrates are pretty healthy. One of the shrimps molted yesterday.



My anemone, it eats alot now.


The dying fish, if find a solution then it wont be.


Ohh and we bought two mushrooms in addition to our tank.







I spotted something baby like(in animal terms la.. Takkan ada baby dlm tank?! Mari mane pulok..) but not sure what it is. Too small to be identified.

Bawang putih

Sesungguhnya hanya tuhan yang tahu betapa aku gilakan flavour bawang putih.

Every dish i cook (tak termasuk masak melayu) wajib 4ulas or more. I dont know wether DH likes it or not but he never did complain once, well except hari tu aku ada masak termasin sket haha kecian tau. Honestly, bagi aku, 4ulas tu means nothing, because i cant taste the garlicky essence. Jgn nak suruh aku makan cmtu je ehh, sbb aku geli. Kalau makan saje rasa nak terbelahak ada ahh.

Ini sume adalah salah Fabio Viviani for making me cook like an italian(perasan nyeee lahai)


Baru ni aku ada dengar yg ada laa manusia2 yg tak habis nak cari salah dan silap org lain, berkata;

Sarah tu kawen sbb dia ingat mamat tu byk duit. Tgk2 kawen kene jual nasik je, menyesal xsudah la dia.

Shouldnt i be moving on to someone else if money(which isnt available) is what i aim for in this marriage?

Takpelah. Mulut org. Nobody can satisfy anybody.

The sick clown looks really sick today. Some kind of spore is growing on its head and it hasnt been eating. Dannngggg. Now deciding wether to keep it or flush it down the drain.

Omg we cant wait!


World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria will be released on the 25th of september people! Which means more holes in DH's pockets lol.

We havent been playing wow for the past 2 months cz we were busy sleeping and working during ramadhan and we only got back from kemaman like a week after raya so we thought it wouldnt be smart to subscribe then. But now that things are back to normal, maka start bayar balik la kan.

2 bulan beb tak main wow.. Bila sign in dah jadi mcm kekok sbb skarang dah patch baru. Last time we played it was 4.3 now dah 5.0. All the new interface, the changes in the talent system, abilities added and removed, unusable macros makes it all so weird. Were gonna have to study abit before we really start playing again.

The livestock in my tank are doing pretty well. One of the anemones seem to be missing in action though, we even broke the rock to look for it cz it might be hiding between the cracks and holes but takde pun. Magic dohh. Tapi takpe la. Ada satu pun ok.. And im happy that it eats regularly. One of the clowns though, i havent seen it eat anything yet. It looks sick, but maybe he's just having a hard time adjusting himself to the tank. We havent been easy on them either.. We keep on changing the tanks layout. Maybe the fish finds it to be stressful. Who knows.

Sometimes i get to see copepods feed on the pellets that go unnoticed on the base. I hope they wont cause any trouble in the future.. Their numbers can multiply pretty fast if uncontrolled, making the tank ugly. I also notice that the live rocks in the tank has loads of stuff living in it. A good sign that the tank is doing fine. Were still gona have to get the test kit by the end of this week before adding anymore fish, dont want to take the risk since lepas ni ikan yang kitorang plan nak beli mahat nak mampuihh.

Mengantuk la.. Nak tido jap.

My marine tank update!

Kitorang cari kedai ikan laut yang ada banyak choice sket. Last2 jumpa kat kampung melayu subang. Aquatics international. Nak tau adress just google it. Besar gila weh kedai dia. Ada 2 bijik warehouse, satu yg untuk display lagi satu dia simpan yg special nye untuk eksport.


Tapi dia bukanla jual ikan laut semata2. Freshwater lagi banyak.Lower level freshwater upper saltwater.

Mcm robin kan haha

This fish has fangs.. Looks like a bat


We bought like a couple of stuff there. 2 baby anemones,a cleaning crew consisting of a pair of cleaner shrimps and some snails. Total damage is rabak poket. Haha.

Feeding it some mashed prawns

Did you know that this thing moves around? I din. Buat penat aku je pikir nak letak dia kat mana bagi nampak cantik sket tangki tu kan, patu turun bawah kejap masak naik balik tgk2 dah hilang dah. Dia nyorok celah batu. Mlm smalam satu je nyorok, pagi tdi yg lagi satu pun nyorok gakkkkk. Haih. Sama mcm tangki kosong je.

Harini ingat nak beli ikan plak. Tapi air tak test lagi. Ikan ni kira tester la hehe kalau mati then nasib dia la kan. Setiap yang hidup mesti akan mati.
The cheap and common clown.. Tank bred clowns costs a fortune. Different clown species could cost some 50bux. Manyak mahat!

Dumbest boat ride ever.

Went to the mines yesterday because dh's cousin wanted to go on the boat ride. Dh and i tagged along since we had nothing else to do and aku mmg nak merayap pun kan, bosan duduk kat umah.

Tickets were 28 per person for the wawa splash ride(the name itself sounds fishy). Mahal kan? Baik aku beli ikan. Kitorang xnak naik pun.. But kakak insisted to pay for us so naik jela.

Naik natang gonjeng ni rupenyerrr..


A boat on wheels. Nama wawa splash tu sbb splash time turun ramp nak masuk air tu. Haih..

We were told that the ride would take about 30 mins to complete, what we werent told was that the 30 mins was because the boats engine sounded and smelled like it was ready to blow up anytime.

im never going for that ride ever again.
