I did music and art. Wanted to do drama but my school didn't run it. :(
I owned the practical side of art. Fucked up practical music as my teacher wouldn't let me sing without lessons and I was just starting my piano lessons.
do u play the piano?

IST and Commerce ^_^

Guys, I recommend IST. You honestly don't have to do much. Just read a textbook the day of the exam, or make it up. Such an easy course, legit. It's a subject you could rote learn.
It kinda helps with computing skills in the School Certificate imo

We had to do three. I tend to avoid marine class because our goldfishes died. Truly a sad loss. Poor Cinnamon, was only a year and a bit old.
We were only allowed 2 electives and we couldn't change them in year 10 :(

I used to have a tropical aquarium, but they all started dying off because of old age. My parents could see it was depressing me so they wouldn't buy any more incase the new ones died :haha:
I had a really pretty albino angel fish. It lived for about 2 years. I loved it so <3
Thing is, it kept eating our neon tetras and guppies :haha:
Then we had pond in our back yard in our old house- they all died because the pump failed and it was a hot day (no oxygen).
Then when we moved houses, we had a fountain with heaps of koi fish and a pet turtle. But then the turtle ate some of the koi and we had to give it away :(
Then my dad was like... SCREW THIS. I can't be bothered cleaning up the fountain anymore so we sold all the fish and turned the fountain into a small water feature.
So many memories :'(

Now that I think about it... I actually had a lot of pet fishies in my lifetime.

Nothing will replace cinnamon. A group bought two $80 fishes and they passed away in a day.

Aww :( that's so sad.

I did IST, Commerce & Multimedia.

I found commerce quite useful. I wish I had done business or economics.

They were goldfish. I wanted to keep them, but my mummy wouldn't let me. Oh, you mean the other group's fish, they were fighting fish.
Fighting fish? I can get a fighting fish for like <$10
Why did they pay $80 for two?
That's silly.

I was also digging through some old pics. Spot the odd one out:

First one to spot out what is odd gets rep ^_^

I do not know. All I know is they bought it for $160 and both of them jumped off.
:haha:

They must have been mad. But the same thing has happened to me when I used to buy fish for my tropical aquarium. They die in like a day if they're weak. You can reduce the chance of this happening by floating the bag the fish came in, in the tank (to regulate temperature), then add about a cup of that tank's water into the bag so it gets used to the PH and chemicals in the water, and then you put the fish in an hour later :D
It works. Less fish die that way :haha:

I will unfortunately not be getting any more fishies. I do not want to experience pain thrice.
