New Year Resolution ~ 新年的決議

砸碎決議的是懦夫; 設立決議的是傻瓜。

He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.

Shiny scale Dragon Eyes Pearlscale (瑩鱗珍珠龍)

My dwindling postings over the weeks underscores the hectic schedule I have been through. My apologies to avid readers who are looking forward to my postings. With this posting, I would like to wish all a belated Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. 

It has been a very busy year with many changes in my job and family responsibilities that it is compelling for me to address other priorities in life. So much so that it becomes rather unorthodox for a Goldfish fanatic to miss all the junior Tosai study sessions (MIFY) in the Oozeki Ranchu Club this year. Regretfully, I also missed the ASRS which coincides with the day I flew back from a long overseas holiday. My immediate priorities was to perform emergency water change for all my Goldfish ponds. My apologies to my friends who were trying to look out for me in the show.

Wrapping up a great 2010 for Goldfish breeding, I am looking forward to the 10^th anniversary of the Oozeki Ranchu Club and its 10^th Oozeki Annual Ranchu Show on 1^st January. Do come down to our free road show in Hong Lim CC on New Year’s Day from 12pm to 3pm.

The beginning of the New Year also marks the start of my TVR breeding season. Time and space permitted, I hope to breed one more generation of the Pompom Dragon Eyes Pearlscale in tandem with the TVR before the Aquarama 2011. 

Shhh... I am keeping my New Year resolution a secret :)
