Alhamdullilah .... am i too excited? not sure myself ... but i'm happy for myself and my family for future addition to family ;) been trying to refrain myself to add or buy anything new to my tank but i did add cleaner fish last month which i think its ok since the fish not cost the bomb.

So what next? maybe slowly shopping for newborn instead of aquarium equipment and LS. Till then i'll continue with my usual thing with my tank and hope will not spend too much on this tank thing!

First day at school ... agak excited laa jugak yang berdua nih nak pergi ke sekolah baru. Arisha dengan darjah satu dan adiknya decide to put at same school .. so apa lagi 1st day pre school jugak. Both tak nangis macam kanak kanak riang .. hehehe.. dan tak ada lagi cerita lawak like budak berak dalam seluar etc etc like Awin's story ;)

As for the first day, everything went well... exciting and tiring for them and bit tiring for me. Since its a first time for everyone in here, i just decide to stay up to after rehat. After that cannot tahan already sit doing nothing! so pergi lepak at Oceanic and talk nothing .. heheheh... may be will be my destination for several days after this untuk hilang boring. I might bring my hdd tomorrow so can go directly to Rifdi house for more HD movies stock.

Tomorrow will be a new day again for them and for us, need to train them how to go to my wife's place. Just beside the school anyway but so far they never walk alone as long as that. Ah susah jugak nih, 1st thing 1st need to train Ariana to wait for her sister before walk to my wife's place. My wife might not be able to walk them everyday so its good to have them know.

There are a lot other thing need to be consider and plan.. but for now let them comfortable with a new changes first.

Anak sedara baru! yeah! ... my sister's first born child. Little cute girl always smile ;)

Safe return after spend bout a week at my hometown. Bit worried before going back cause i dun have the auto feeder, lucky EHEIM has replace my auto feeder to a new one. Good for me and the fishes ;)

I was lucky not forgot to check my auto top off water switch. Anyway thanks to my wife she forgot to bring her notebook so have to return to home while i took that time to check the aquarium equipment one more time. I forgot that i was off the pump while doing the water changed... lucky! otherwise the tank water level will drop and increase the salinity...and will be follow with other not so good thing! As other precaution, i also get my neighbor to look around my house if got electric trip. Since i dun have backup power, it is important to ask someone to look the aquarium. Other than i'm not worried much.

While in Terengganu, i was visiting one of the LFS around my area. My wife wanted a new aquarium again? hmmm .. the 2 footer with steel stand cost only RM22. Lucky it will be troublesome to bring home otherwise i have to bought that .. heheh. The life stock not so much interesting, got several anemone and other soft coral, the owner told got a new shipment next week. So those in that area might wanna check that. The shop is at Hiliran, opposite mosque.

The most enjoy moment for my kids will be mandi pantai session. Since Pantai Batu Buruk not suitable for "mandi pantai", we went to Pantai Pandak Cendering. Too bad my favorite stall "Sotong celup tepung" not opened that day. Since the stall closed, my mom fried "sotong celup tepung" for us .. nyum nyum nyumy.

We also went to a new sea food restorant near my mom's house. The food is good, and the price is the cheapest so far. Too bad i forget the restorant's name... the name its like "T'Sea Food" or "T' Live Sea Food". The restorant located at Kuala Hiliran or Losong, just before "Keropok Losong" stretch and just beside Sungai Terengganu. The view is not so bad, can watch colorful Masjid Crystal at night from there.

We will back back for more fun next time ;)

Most people will have perception that having kids and tank is a problem. They believe their kids will do "their work" on tank. But i believe it a good way to educate them, at least let them see while it last ehhehe...

So far there was only once, the bad thing they pour all the fish food in the tanks while the good thing is just a small tank that hold my wife's freshwater fish. Too bad for her... all the fishes died because of the over feed. Anyway its a good lesson for them, cannot give that much of food! since then they never do that again...

As for my marine tank, so far they at least know what the skimmer does... but do u? ehhhehe they also never bother the fishes or the corals. They only thing they do just ask and ask... what is this and what is that, what do they eat etc etc... i'm trying to explain in a very simple word like "this is where fish waste collected" or "this is snail, they help cleaning the glass" of course so far i'm not really explain to them this is LPS coral .. this soft coral etc ... that is not something that will make them interested anyway.

In short, i want them have another thing to watch beside cartoon after one another. but so far i dun know how to make them love what i'm doing :P ... that doesn't bother me .. so i dun care! As long as they know how to appreciate these lovely creatures .. its more than enough for me ;)
