Adik's pet fish

I almost forgotten about this till I saw the pictures in the folder ...I was planning to write about it before but somehow did not find the photos ...if I am not mistaken, this was way back in Nov when we went back to the cottage for a long weekend ...or was it for Raya Haji? can't remember exactly ...

But, what happenned was Al and the parents went back to Jane's village ...but adik was left with us as they were rushing and did not want to make adik tired at the time ...so, it was just my parents, adik and I ...adik was a bit asthamatic at the time and we kept him indoors ....poor boy was a bit cranky ...

but his crankiness disappeared when he saw the fish ...mom bought six little fish (ikan betok in Iban) at the market ....her intention was to replace the fish that was eaten by our neighbour's cat (i was blamed coz I did not put the cover properly when I put the fish in a new aquarium!) ....anyway, back to the new fish, it really made adik's day ...he and the fish cannot be separated ...he even pushed the bottle which contained the fish towards the telly, when he wanted to watch the telly ...and he made sure that the fish was facing the tv!

he even brought the fish with him on the mattress when he was supposed to take his afternoon nap ....and not long after this was taken, he accidentally pushed the bottle upside down ...was crying when he saw the spilled water ....

6 fish in a big cooking-oil bottle - sold to my mom for RM10

adik loves the fish so much ...that was the first thing he sought after when he woke up ...and the last thing he played with before he fell asleep at the cottage ....now, the fish are in Kuching, in a big pot at my car porch ...Al and aki are the ones who feed the fish, clean its water and so on ....adik would only play with the fish if it is in the small aquarium inside the house :-)
