Look what I just bought to entertain myself for Chinese New Year

A sequel to one of the best game of 2008, "Dead Space 2" is probably not the type of game you want to play (in the living room) when everyone is happily celebrating Lunar Chinese New Year.

Again I will be stepping into the shoe of Issac Clarke, whom once again will go through the path of survival horrow (again) and continue from where the game left off. And this time the stage is set on a densely populated metropolis... Last time it is on a spaceship and now it is a CITY!!! Damn more aliens to cope with......

While I will be scaring my shit out of myself..... I will probably enjoy doing:

Floating in space while looking so damn cool...

Start killing used-to-be-human after they alienified... with creative dismemberment technique

Hanging upside-down and dismemberment more (old & new) aliens...

Perharp learn how to cook....

Show those naughty kids what I will do to them when they misbehave!!!

Look I even provide a YOUTUBE video for visual demostration!

Enjoy yeah!!!

And I wish all reader a Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Cleaning of my aquarium

After fulfilling the weekend ride in the morning, the next important thing to do is to clean my goldfish tank.

 

I suspected I might have overfed the goldfish a bit, and hence the water turn greenish very fast and encouraging the growth of algae.... Despite only change the water 2 weeks ago. The upper portion of the tank look cleaner because I do a partial water change and wipe off the algae when opportunity given.

I cleaned the tank and accessories thoroughly with water only. I didn't use soap nor washing liquid fearing that the residue of the soap might be lethal with the fish. The brownish slimy stuff showing on the right picture is the mulm.

After the tank have been cleaned and assembled , the first thing I do is to measure and mark the water level. This will allow me to apply the correct dosage of medication recommended when needed. Also I installed the rectangular air-stone attached with adjustable air-pump. With air bubbles it certainly make the aquarium more appealing.





It is more important that you do not change the filter when you clean the aquarium for you will be eliminating a lot of beneficial bacteria. Also if you use tap water to fill the tank, it is important to use the water conditioner to remove the chlorine. Chlorine is very harmful to the freshwater fishes so it is important to let your aquarium run without the fish for few hours.

One thing I didn't get to do is to fill the base of the tank with pebbles. No matter how many times I try to wash and rinse it, the water still showing up a lot of pebbles dust. While I still considering if I might want to add it at later date, I will slowly clean it more thoroughly on my free time, ready for the next tank-wash.





Watching my goldfishes swimming happily after the wash is a very satisfying task to do on the relaxing weekend. After saying that....... I will be looking forward to clean and enhance another BIGGER one......

Yeah I know..... till then it shall be a post at the later date.

Weekend Solo Ride on 16th Jan 2011

Decided to do a short 65km road ride after laying off cycling for more than a month. The route starting from Meru-Ijok-Bukit Rotan-Jeram-Meru, except instead of ending the ride at Klang town, after Jalan Kapar, I decided to have a little detour off Jalan Kapar as it is a very nosiy and lot of crazy drivers in speeding vehicle.

Taking advantages of prolong cold weather (read here), the ride is nice & cooling, with occasional welcome sunshine. Unfortunately the cloudy weather also means it will rain as well.... making me taking shelter at a petrol station.

The main highlight of the ride is the final 20km route. It is a very peaceful route and the route overlook the Bukit Punack Alam. And it certainly feel like kampung ride! Pity I did not bring my camera. Those photo were taken with my phone's camera and they don't do justice. In future I shall bring my camera for every ride.
