Lately I been spending a lot of time at home. It is a good break from work as I just had a "Total Knee Replacement" of my right knee. Though I am quite immobile and is still weeks away from recovery, I managed to take some pictures of my other tosais to round up Year 2012.
Breeding is hard work.... upkeeping and grooming a pool of young fishes are equally challenging. The thrill and satisfaction is that the end result is a direct reflection of all the effort, time and all the hard work that are put in. Like the saying goes.... "The strength of the effort is the measure of the result".
As this year "Harvest" come to a close, I am looking forward to next year breeding. Last year self bred Nisai, will be Oya by early next year(I am excited) and coupled with the infusion of new compatible bloodlines, I am looking forward to improve my breeding further.
In a nutshell, I am thankful for the support of fellow hobbyists who unselfishly provide physical and moral support...to do well...it is never a one man's effort and I am thankful. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) proclaimed...
“Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort."
In the spirit of pure hobbyists, please challenge ourselves to better our skills and produce and groom fishes that rank just as good as those from other countries and that sum up nicely as Singapore Pride!!
