Tough Week

My marimo tank is getting congested due to my 'Mister' accidentally purchased 100 marimo balls. But he managed to sell off 70 marimos. So there are 35 in my small tank. Thinking of giving 5 to my mother since marimos are really easy to cater for and it won't take out much of her time. I have a feeling that she will probably love them. 

Having to work on leave is feeling really bad. What was in my mind is that why am I always the one to do these troublesome works. Now it's not just working at nights and weekends but on my vacation!! Come on boss, please just give me a break.

On this particular day, I had to go for a tender interview and work right after the meeting. What a terrible week I had. I had to work at a coffee shop since my boss had to go down to the plantation site and I definitely do not want to follow.  And it's 2 and a half hours drive back to my office. Thus I ended up sitting in the coffee shop to complete off my work. I wanted to go home so badly that day.

At the end of the day, I was rewarded with this mouth-watering dinner. However, I regret after the first bite. Because it's around 7 pm and it's too heavy for my stomach to digest. It's not so rewarding after all. 

Nano Marimo & Star Moss

I was truly excited about these little marimo balls from Japan. Based on the information I get, the growth of these green marimo is only 5mm per year. And the greatest thing about the marimo is that it can live up to 200 years!!! How surprisingly long this marimo can live. I got these marimos of a very fair price though. In the aquatic shop I came across, the pricing of each little marimo is RM 20.00. These marimos are obtained online from ebay which 5 of the small balls cost 1 US dollar and plus RM 18.00 for the postage. Thus, altogether the marimos cost RM 20 ++. I got the glass from 'SuperSave' which cost me RM 2.50. And the small rock underneath I collected from the beach.

And for a lazy person like myself, marimo is truly a very very very easy plant to take care of. It requires only a little ceiling light, changing of water every once a week or once every 2 weeks or the most 4 weeks, no carbon dioxide injection is required for healthy growth and of course a lot of love. It says to add some salt to the water if the marimo turns yellowish. I truly hope that would not happen to my little green fury marimos.

The greenish square cube is star moss, also one kind of aquatic plant. And of course easy to rear like the marimo. I was most curious of how the star moss would grow like. Waiting.......
