Project Aquarium

Alright, now I'm running out of things to do during the weekends.... so thought of setting up an aquarium at home. The idea is not a fresh one, I've been toying with it since day 1 of moving into my new home. The hold up was that I couldn't find a decent looking tank that fits into the 'theme' of my house. Finally chance upon a small Fuval 23 litre tank while doing the CAI for my ride. The tank is expensive but it fits into the house, so despite the heart pain and went for it. Of course along with the tank, I bought the pump, filters, ornaments etc...

The tank is now setup, waiting for the eco-system to develop before introducing fishes into it...

Patience....

World Cup 2010 - the story so far...

The last 16 teams have finally emerged after battling it out in the group stages. Quite a few surprises in this year's world cup - Champions Italy is out and France is also out of the competition with their pride destroyed.

A few surprise packages in the group stages, teams like New Zealand, Australia, Slovakia managing to go toe-to-toe with the traditional 'big boys'. England has been disappointing, hopefully they warm up to their games and go all the way...

Now the tournament gets more exciting as the teams have only one chance to do it right.
