Catching Goldfish

 Max said that when he went to play pool with his friends the other day he noticed that there is a pool for people to catch goldfish and he said he looked quite fun.

We told Ace about it and he insisted MUST go that day...

Alas, we reached that day and it was not opened yet leh... so had to wait like an hour for it to open.. so sian.. we drove around aimlessly trying to find a place for Ace to cut his hair but cannot find... and so leh, we went to have tea at this tea place that gave the birthday boy a free ice kacang!:)

So this thing is called Goldfish Scooping. You are given a paper net and you supposed to scoop the fish. Watever fish you scoop is yours. If net breaks then too bad gotta throw away..

 At first, Max and Ace did not get the hang of it. They put the bowl so far away.. so by time the fish go into their net and reach the bowl, paper already break and fish drop back into the pond lor.. the saw another kid who put the bowl real close and then wised up!:)

And there was another couple also very sart.. they use three nets can catch so many fish.. net break they still can catch wor... LIHAI!:)

 Awww... got to throw the torn net into the pail..

 After we came, Uncle's business became very god lor:) hahaha

 See our bowl so few fish compared to the couple who had less nets!

 Got it!

 Now we know liao..put the bowl close close...

 We had about 20 fishes.. We bought a container for them and even a pump to give them air... Aunty gave us some free food also..

 Ace taking care of the fishes in the car..

 We put them together with Molly... and put them by the TV...

About 2 weeks later, only these guys left...

I realized that the black fishes died out first.. Maybe black goldfishes are not so hardy...

PS: As I typed this out on 14 July... about 2.5 weeks after we brought them home, only 4 goldfishes and Molly are left.. Max says MOLLY IS A SURVIVOR!:) hahahaha...
