Another hectic day in Semenyih

We did a lot at the fish farm today…Prepare enrichment and feed our lovely fish larvae as usual. Then we need to change the water and measure the length of our fish larvae. Also we need to do the water monitoring all by ourselves, thank you very much Mr. Master Student.

The water changing part is quite complicated as this is the 1st time we are handling so many trays at the same time. The fish larvae kept “falling down” from their trays, so we had to think of a way to prevent them from falling to the big fish tank beneath our tray and get eaten by the talipia… Plus, we had no help or advice, thanks to another person. Luckily we are smart enough to think of a way to stop the fish larvae from falling away and control the water flow…

Since there are so many jobs to be done, we must stay in Semenyih for a little longer. Although we start our job early, we only managed to finish it at around 2pm. But due to the super heavy rain, we are trapped there for another 30 minutes. Finally, we get fed up of waiting and decide to face the heavy rain bravely and drive home.

Heavy rain plus the lame draining system cause the road out to the highway flood terribly. Gary’s Kancil struggle the whole journey and we were like taking a rally race in the rain forest.And after facing many many unseen holes and avoiding many hidden water patches, we reached Setapak safely at around 3pm, not to mention tat we are all wet,cold,tired and hungry.

(p/s:to all my fish larvae, please grow faster ya cos we are a lot behind the others…Love ya…)
