As everyone knows.. the Commonwealth Games was on in Melb..
for some reason.. never really really felt the excitement of it all, tho everyone NOT in melb was absolutely jealous of the fact i was (for some reason).
Highlights (for me) included watching the closing ceremony fireworks at Carlton Gardens.
Beautifully- spectacular -breathtaking WOWso much better than any Moomba over the yearsViews were unobstructed.. and Jason and I stood there.. watching the fireworks going off frm the MCG, 4 tall buildings in the city AND on the Big screen as well (for all the ariel shots)I was just standing there doing 360 degree spins to catch it all! hA!
Another highlight were the stuff going on by the Yarra River..where they actually displayed 72 fishes.. representing each of the Commonwealth Countries .. and guess what Singapore is.
A GUPPYWhat the.
lets see what
they said eh?
The fish were selected to represent each nation competing in the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth GamesSingaporeGuppyPoecillia reticulata
The Guppy is one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species in the world. Their most famous characteristic is their propensity for breedingREALLY!er.. i thought singaporeans weren't breeding enough to replace the population?ho hum.
Anyway i took a jog this evening by the Yarra to check em out for the last time before they get dismantled (which they are in the process of).. and honestly.
i think they are quite ugly.
