Having a fish sounded like a good idea for a pet while staying in Singapore. And it was. His name is Tiburon and he is quite tough actually. I think everyone as a kid sometimes gets to own a fish, at least for a few days or even hours. Yeah, the suckers die really easy. Either you put the two wrong fish together and they fight, or one gets fatter the moment you are not watching. Sometimes they also multiply like crazy and before you know it you have 40 little swimmers being chased by their own parents.

Anyway, I love my fish. He has survived days of hunger and a few days of a not so clean water. I had to ask my friend John to look after it once cause I thought 6 days without food could be too much and I didn't want to push it. Then when I went back to Mexico for a couple of weeks he stayed at Robs and Fung's place which at that time was just a few steps away.

I read somewhere that a goldfish will only grow to the size of his home. And his bowl is not like a suite. I think he grew a bit during the first year and now he can't really swim to far before hitting the glass. They are swimmers too. (It's great that I am doing some research after a year). I also found out that they have a memory of 7 seconds. So I bet Tiburon has no hard feelings for what has happened lately. Anyway, for being such a cool fish I decided to look around for a new home (new bowl) for him. Besides it was Christmas and whatever...

I found this awesome infinite bowl fish designed by IL-Studio. These guys are in Amsterdam and they even went through the hassle of creating a paypal account so I could buy it! (Thanks Isabelle!)





I am expecting it soon. Can't wait!

Well, these are the last days of the year, which are pretty lazy everywhere. Although I have been a lazy blogger all year. So I guess I'm just trying to make it up for the last couple of months of being a slacker.

Well..the photos for Vietnam are posted.

I still have some friends that haven't seen any of my pictures. I guess not all the people are as nerdy to stick around a computer and read my blog or browse through my picasa. I will probably have to pick a few photos and print them for my mom or something soon.

I have to go through some more photos.

First, we went to Phuket for Brandon and Megu's wedding. It was really cool although the last day was really bad for me. Seafood poisoning has never been good. Apart from that the wedding itself and the stay in Phuket were really nice. I didn't take that many photos since everyone brought their fancy cameras. So my friends Fung and Rob took some photos that you take a look at my happy face before eating that bad oyster.

Then we made the last trip of the year. We went back to Thailand. Phi Phi island for the second time. We really enjoyed it the first time so with everything else booked and skyrocketing prices we decided to go back there. I did snap some pics, not many though which I'll hope to post before the year ends. Damn! Got three days to go.

So this blog entry sucks (apart for the cool photo links) but I will post something more interesting in the next few days. Else, I can always just cheat and delete this post.
