Well, today's news is, the sick fish is now a dead fish, and the other Betta male is sick with whatever the first one had. It turns out that it's some kind of fungal infection :| So, I've gotten something to treat them with, and hopefully it will make the Betta male recover, and the others not get it.

I was so supposed to do some work on my assignment today, but this fish emergency sort of took over, and after I finished doing all that, D came over. He wanted to find my dad's timing light so he could fiddle with his car, so I finished what I was doing and he did that and then I spent some time sitting on his lap and talking about stuff. I need to lose some weight so I can sit on his lap for longer, and I need to sit on his lap more often. Although, on the whole weight-front thing, I have lost about 2.5 kilograms in the last week, so that's a good thing. I just need to keep at what I've been doing - lots of massage, eating smaller portions of whatever I'm eating, and considering (yes, I haven't quite reached "doing") exercise. Not bad, although I think last night's dinner will kinda dent my progress.

About dinner, while I'm talking about it - it was really nice - we went to T Chow (not my choice, his because his dad, sister, and brother had never been there, and it is - when all's said and done - a very good restaurant). Between the six of us we managed to eat one salted fish hot pot, two dishes of green peppercorn chicken, one dish of salt and pepper squid, one dish of fried beef hor fun, and a dish of garlic fried choy sam. And that, along with rice, was our meal. His uncle had a hot and sour soup to start as well. There was tea, and a carafe of claret and a glass of moselle (for me, because I'm not a fan of red wine), a glass of Jack and coke for D's sister, and an orange juice for his brother. After dinner we had desert - D's uncle had some kind of steamed yam ball dish, and D's brother had chocolate mousse, and D's sister, D and I had fried ice cream with caramel sauce. Mmmm ... It was divine. Still, the amount I ate ... I should perhaps cut down on whatever I eat over the next few days and try doing some exercise to compensate.

So, now I'm having a mandarin and that's about it, because I'm not really hungry.
