Well, our precious friend at home has finally bid us farewell or rather bid the word farewell. He has left us at 5.55am this morning. It was a bit drama this morning when my mum discovered that there was something wrong with him. She just woke me up to take a look at him. His muscles were all tensed up and the body colour turned greyish black at first. After a while, he started to relax but remained almost still. As we could still observed some faint breathing from him, we decided to wake my brothers up from their beauty sleep so that they could take the last look at him. Very drama right ... but right after that, he just passed away peacefully. Sigh.... relieved from all the sufferings and all the injections. We all cried till eyes red red and left for work.

Actually, i sort of prepared myself that he would not last long this time round coz he has lost his usual stubborness. In the past, no matter what , he would insist of catching his food on his own. He just refused to be fed even during the times when he could not swim in upright position. This time, he allowed to be fed by my mum and the bloating stomach was not helping him at all. Just did not expect to be so soon. Mum discarded almost his everything when she came back from work coz everytime she saw the empty tank, she will think of the fish. Even when i came home from work in the evening, i did not see the fish waiting at the door and the fish tank was gone.

The feeling was like losing a family member. Really hate the feeling. Glad i am coping well with that except for a few blunders i made at work.

Will miss him dearly.........
