Birthday guppies

We celebrated Esther's birthday today. A few days early because her birthday falls on such a common day. So Esther, Jeraldine, Menaka and I spent the evening extravagently dining at Vivo's Swenson Earle.

Of course the bulk of the day was spent actually looking for a suitable present for the birthday girl. We each got her something different.

So this year I tried looking for something unique. Since she has learnt jewelry making for me, I couldn't get her anything remotely like jewelry. Bleah.

I ended up getting her two tiny little fishes. Guppies, to be exact. In a small bowl. With pebbles. Inclusive of fish food.

Of course I had to top it off with some anti-bitch pills which she so needs.

Instructions:
Take one capsule to stop complaining.
Take two capsules to stop constant whining.
Take three capsules and maybe your friends will start returning your calls.

Anyway, back to the guppies. I think Jeraldine, Menaka and I took a very long time deciding on the names. We ended up with the most brilliant names of all. The end product - Esther is now the proud owner of two guppies named LeSushi and LaSashimi. LeSushi has a deep, dark, royal shade of purple. LaSashimi has a bright, elegant orange colour on its tail.

I'm crossing my fingers, hoping they'll survive at least a week in Esther's hands. She isn't exactly the best pet owner in the world. Hopefully, by God's grace, the two can mate and give birth to babies. Of course Esther is now incharge of making them mate. So if all else goes well, we can expect baby fishes in about a month's time. Then we can just take some from her.
