Me. My Life. And Crap.



Sunday, September 13, 2009 @ 1:24 AM: Bye Bye, Mr. Turtle a.k.a Guai Zai
The house has been rather quite these past few days.
It lacked the usual splashing sound that I have come to love and miss.

On the 6th of Sept, me and my family went to Tian Hou Temple.
We brought our tortoises with us there to let them go.
Mom told us they were too big to fit in our small tank already.
So we had no choice but to do so.

We've been with these 3 "guai zai" (tortoises in cantonese) for a long time.
And when we had to let them go, it was really a sad moment.
Me and my bro and sis have been trying to delay this day for quite some time.
But, what must come, will come, afterall.

In the car, as we loaded them into a bucket,
it was as though they could sense they were being let go.
So "Me" turtle kept trying to claw its way out.



It was only after that, that "Sis" turtle tried to claw its way out too.
"Bro" turtle didn't budge much, probably coz of d lack of space..


Eventually, we got there and we brought them to a pond,
where we knew many other tortoises were at.
There, we finally let them free.


One last photo with "me" turtle.
I'll mish eu sooooo much!!!


We placed them near the water, so they could go in themselves.


Honestly, it WAS a beautiful place to let them go free.
I was just worried that the water might be too deep for them.
And the other big tortoises will bully them.
But I guess I underestimate them.


I saw this odd-shaped shell tortoise.
Unique and cool. =)


I also spotted this reeeeli tiny tortoise hiding in the corner.
About the size of 3 of my fingers put together in width. Like a pebble.
I had to go reaaaallly close up just to get this shot.


Hope my tortoises will have a good life here.

I seriously will miss them tortoises.
I watched them grow so much with us.
I kinda understand how a parent would feel when their children are leaving, I suppose.

But I guess they will have a better life and freedom to grow here.
Just hope they can get enough food every day.
They are big eaters.
We spoil them i think. XP


Bye "me"!!!! T.T
