Oh my......!!!! My heart droppped tonight! I knew sometime ago, that I am actually already attached to the 3 lil' goldfishes which were adopted from Dr Goh, but I did not know that this attachment with them is so strong until tonight.. My 3 lil' fishes were meant to be Dr Goh's fish's prey, but with a twist of fate, they have since become my precious pets and also my cute companions.
I started to fret if they ever have enough to eat. Whether the fish tank is too small for them to swim around freely as they grow so fast day by day.... How will they survive overnight when I am not in with no one to feed them at night. They are even constantly on my mind when I am out painting the town red, to the extent I call and ask kind auntie Nancy to help me feed my pets,so that they will not go hungry!! But,I have since then decided to bring them home when I am not in so that they can get the best attention from me and I know that they will be well at home cos I would have already bathed them, washed the fish tank and fed them before I went out! I would never want to see my fishes floating up one day... Arrggghhh!!!!! Hate to think of that!!!!!
Then..... Tonight, something happened.... Just at that instant, I knew something has happened to my fishes when I heard something droppped like the shattering of glass!*BIG BRANGggg* That instinct got me up away from the comp quickly and I dashed for the waiting hall.... I saw my lil' fishes on the floor, 2 hardly moving, 1 was struggling and auntie Susan squatting trying to pick them up! I exclaimed in fright " oh pls, pls,no...no"! Saying prayers.. My heart sank.... The fear of losing them freezed me, I knew I must quickly fill something with water and put them in. All I could think of, was the measuring jug at the sink. I ran to the sink, fumbled for the jug, filled it with water and before I could run back to the waiting hall, auntie Susan came to me with my lil' fishes in the broken fish tank which I did not even realise , I immediately grabbed the "seemingly fine" fish tank wanting to give my fishes water only to know secs later from auntie Susan that it was broken. Arghhghh!!! It was only after I settled my fishes down in the measuring jug, then did they seem to come alive once again and started to swim around......*phew*.... Though,they seem ok, I hope they are not traumatised!!That kind of feeling I was experiencing was a mixture of so much... so much.... But, it was the fear of losing them that groped me the most.
After this.. I realised I love them, just like my love ones. I never want anything to happen to them. It shatters my heart if I did not manage to save them just now. I wanted to quickly do something just now, and yet I seemed so slow to react! What was wrong with me?! Now,they are back to normal swimming in the very cramped house I am temporaily putting them up. I shall replace them with a much spacious house tomorrow and ooops! Anti-chlorine solution is running out too!
