My Goldfish....

I was determined to take my grandma to a street festival near the moon light temple, which was to start at 16:00pm, so I cooked my grandma a light mushroom pasta for her lunch and then went to the gym to work out early today.

I had a pretty good work out there, chatted a little with my friend who works there, came back home, took a bath and got ready to go to the festival with my grandma.

It was rather pretty quiet when we got there, but loads of kids enjoying themselves eating some candies, french fries, and deep fried chicken nuggets and what not.

Then I wanted to try kingyo (goldfish) sukui (scoop), where a player will be given a paper scoop to try scooping the goldfish from a tank. My grandma took a photo of me while playing this game, so here it is. Below sign explains a rule: a player will be given only 3 goldfish, when scooping more than 3. So I told myself that my mission was to scoop 3 goldfish and end the game, because if I scooped more, then the boss will selectively give me not so impressive goldfish, even I scooped good kinds. Yes, I know how things work. I am a pro after many years of playing this game. LOL

That's right. I scooped 3!! And check out how pretty goldfish I got too! So I brought home 3 goldsih with me, but on the way home, the plastic bag broke, and all the water leaked giving my goldfish a life threatening experience :( Most terribly, this happened while my grandma and I were at a neighborhood grocery store, so we did not notice this until we arrived home. By the time I put all my goldfish in a tank, one of them was.... dead :( I thought about giving a heart massage or an electronic shock to revive the life of my poor goldfish, but it seems its life has been taken away. It totally shrugged my joyfully-cheerful mood :(. Who knows it may come back to life again, so I am going to give it a nite and see what happens tomorrow morning. But at the same time, I imagined what my cousin maybe going through right now, having her own baby at a critical state right now. But no matter it is a goldfish or human baby, I hate seeing a life passing away. NOOOOO way!

I separated the poor one from the rest, and put the energetic ones in a goldfish tank that my grandma got me at a store. See, my goldfish look so cute right?

Yes, I got "goooood ones" :D Little kids around me were very impressed with my "skill", so I gave them a tip before leaving. This reminds me of my need to update my profile in this site. Yes, I have the "scooping goldfish with a paper scoop at a street festival" skill. Napoleon should better be proud of me by now :)

Well anyway, after that, my gradma and I enjoyed walking the street and looking at the the festival tents and what not. I also got three tops that were over 60 % off. I felt like I got such a great deal.Woo hoo.
