Today, my dad wanted to buy fishes for his little 'mosquito breeding' pond...yes, pond. Can u believe it? We have a fuckin pond in our HDB house. The crazy old man bought a cemented container and made it into pond...to go along with his little forest in our balcony. The bloody pond is infested with mosquitoes so, he decided to buy fishes coz fishes would feed on them. I swear to god, i think i'm gonna die out of dengue one fine day.
Anyway, we went to this fish farm located at lim chu kang. Ok, this whole lim chu kang area looks super rural...but, they have very interesting places...like the lim chu kang cemetry, been there once. Super cool. They even have a jewish cemetery..how cool is that? They have all kinda farms there and all kinda factories. Extremey huge area with all kinda interesting places to go to. The whole area looks creepy and deserted but, cool place to walk around or to venture. Back to the fishes, my dad bought a couple of fishes and some coy fishes...i'll take a pic of the bloody pond and post it on my blog tmr.
We also went to the plant nursery...my dad wanted to buy some plants to add on to his little jungle in our balcony. My cousins and i were just fooling around when we came across this barrel filled with little jelly-like balls. They were in different colours. They look so cute...you know like little colourful jelly-like balls...u just feel like bouncing them around. I thought it was just some fertiliser that happens to look cute and appealing. Well, they're not fertilisers nor are they lil toy balls. My cousin said they are 'water babies'. The first thing that came into my mind was WTF? According to my cousin, water babies can multiply or replicate like amoeba when its placed in water. I don't know if they're living things or not. They also expand in size when placed in water. I did some research online but, this random person stated that WaterBabies are odorless white water-absorbing polymers that absorb and hold water. The thing is, if it is really just a mere water absorbing polymer, how come it multiplies? Water babies bought from science centre are the original ones and the original ones can actually replicate. So, i'm confused. Are they living things that reproduce through a process called fission like amoebas? or are they really just some water absorbing polymer? Hmmm...weird stuff. Quite retarded also. don't you think? Ironically i stole 3 water babies for myself...The moment i got home, i put my little 3 babies into a water bottle and filled it up with water...They are growing bigger! they haven't replicate yet...maybe its not the original ones. Anyway, here's a pic of the so called water babies..they are not mine. some random pic i found online. i'll post a pic of my little water babies tmr.
