Triops

B3, our baby boy is always interested science experiments. He found out there is a new toy called triops which claims to be prehistoric creatures. He also found the way to buy it and it is through Amazon for US$5 and shipping is US$10 which is more expensive than the product itself. Unfortunately, Amazon.com cannot ship out of USA for this product.

So we check it out in the internet to see where we can get it in Singapore. Hey presto! Rainbow Aquarium. Unfortunately, there is no address. We check out the aquarium this morning after our breakfast in Kovan Hawker Center. They actually have it but at S$20. I negotiated for a better deal and whisper to B3 that the price on the internet is better. The girl serving us overheard and refused to give a discount telling me that it is the same price as internet. So we walk away.

We check out the big aquarium in Jalan Kayu. We are in luck. They do carry the same product. Better still, it is priced at $18 with 15% discount. So we save $4. Fantastic. I also bought brine shrimp aka sea monkeys and tubex worms for my goldfishes. They needed a treat as I don't they have not been fed for the week I was gone.

Hopefully, the triops hatched and grow to maturity.
