11st Sep 2010 - After a long break ...
I have finally completed my degree course and back to my hobby - buying and selling koi. I bought some nice koi from my supplier and brought them to my friend's pond for some photo shooting. While I was preparing, I left my digital camera on top of the filter box and went to carry the koi to the pond. When I return with the koi to the pond, I was shocked to find that my camera disappeared. I thought my friend has taken it but when I looked around, I was heart broken to see my 5 years old camera lying at the botton of the pond. Oh, what a mistake!
Left with no better choice, I took the photo using my mobile phone which produced lousy quality.
So, here's some poor quality video, sorry for that.
I will post the individual photos to the koi sales page when they are ready. Thank you for your patience.
17th January 2009 - Budget Showa Grow-out Event Auction and Judging
After 6 months of grow-out, we have finally come to the end of the event.
It was a bright and sunny afternoon and about 6 hobbists turn up for this interesting event.
We started off with the Koi Auction starting from $1.
4 of the 5 kois were auctioned away with price from $5 to $40. Congratulation to the winners.
After the auction, we proceeded with the koi judging. Each hobbist is given 6 points to vote for 1st (3 pts), 2nd (2 pts) and 3rd (1 pt) place of their choice.
It was a close fight between SG2 and SG13. But at last, SG2 wins by a margin of just 1 point ahead of SG13 (10 pts vs 9 pts). Congratulation to the winner - Wang.
Finally, thanks again to all the hobbists who have supported this event!
Wishing all a very Happy and Fruitful Lunar New Year!!
