New Kois for the New Year!!

It has been a tough but challenging week at work.  I ended the week with flu but with rest and sleep that my family has so lovingly given me, I am well on my way to recovery!

After tea break today, I brought my family to the Summer Koi farm at Jalan Kayu.  My children wanted to get some outdoors and were naturally excited when I told them that we will see some big and lovely kois at the farm.

I ended up buying 2 beautiful kois, one a hiutsuri and the other a red/ black Kumonryu from Japan.  These fishes costs me the equivalent of many packets of chicken rice but looking at their beauty and grace bring great calmness to my soul.  If that is the case, it is worth every cents (more like dollars).

My daughters named the Kumonryu "Disco" and my 3-year old son named the Hiutsuri "Tango".

Enjoy the photos that I took at the Summer Koi!
