As usual, Facebook is being such a bi*ch.

I'm simply appalled with the idea that so I have a very sick problem of uploading my photos in Facebook. At first I was using my laptop's Firefox (I know Chrome has a problem with it) but to no avail. So I tried IE. 
And I tried my Vaio's FF
And IE.
Fail to upload.

Grrrs. Screw this nonsense.

Oh well... there are a few set of events that requires pictures. Two of which that happened this year...
1. Kite Flying @ Marina Barrage
2. Na'imah's 1st Birthday Celebration which happened just yesterday, as a matter of fact.

I'd rather upload the pics here =] more convenient and more private - as in. no updates of new(old)! pics and such. I still think being too into-the-scene is not my thing. Everyone knows what you're doing, whether you want it, or not. Maybe one day, someone will end up writing when they are digging their noses or something in their facebook status.

Which links me to this: http://obnoxiousfacebookhabits.com/ Haha. Have fun people. Number 4... SO so so so bloody true. Hah. Very rude indeed. Oh wells.

I'm still hoping to go for MUSE's concert - though I'm stuck with a jam packed 8hr tutorial the next day. If I couldn't go - that's alright. I mean, I get to save my 98 bucks for something else... like... shoes, bags, and threadless tees! Haha. Well. I'm doing a crazy spending @ threadless.com and if there's anyone of you who would like to buy the threadless tees - we can share the shipping cost. I'll send out the order due at the end of this month.

As you can see - the latest addition in my household full of pets - 8 pink zebrafishes. Yeap, the famous zebrafishes that are used to do research in Biopolis tagged with proteins that produces them to be coloured as such - pink! I was hoping to see the Green and Yellow Zebrafishes - but I couldn't get it at my local neighbourhood aquarium store. Oh well. They are so skinny I feel like buying worms every single day for them to fatten themselves up. At any point, I'm looking for a solar powered pump and one cutesy baby suckerfish. hehe.


And in this picture... Pardon the blur aquarium - but you can see a number of the fishes, my crab inside it's humble pot-home, and my cat being a K P O. (points to the bottom left).

That's what she would always do. <3

Alrighty. Going to JB today. 

Loves, kisses and wishes that I could stop thinking too much,
Sal

Just for Sis Abbie ♥

The images are just plain horrible, but it's just like what you've wished for.
Bad pose

Good pose

Patty

Krabby

Krabby & Patty are patriot crabs whose species are usually found in South Africa. They live in freshwater, though their cousins can also live in saltwater. Their sizes are only up to 6cm (body only) with a dominant pincer on either side.

As you can see Krabby has a Left dominant, and Patty, right. They were frightened with me at first, and still are, though by now, they know when is feeding time. I tend to side Krabby as it was quiet and tends to eat the least, but nowadays, I felt like Krabby's dominating Patty with its lavish pinch.

Krabby's more vibrant in colour than Patty, but nontheless, Patty's an active fellow. I will be getting a 10-gallon tank with gravel and some mini flowerpots for each hideout. I wonder if a cheap water filter is possible for me to get - these crabs tend to pollute the water pretty often. I want to get a log too if I can, something they can climb on or have fun with.

And sand is definitely necessary when they are moulding. Yes, mould out of their skin, like prawns and mealworms. Am going to feed them cuttlefish soon for their calcium intake.

I have to thank my brother for giving me the most wicked idea of having another set of pets to preoccupy myself. I guess its really something to get me by through all the things that I'm going through. These crabs could live up to 6 years. So, here I am... ready for a long term love-hate relationship with Krabby & Patty.
