Last night I got home and decided to do something with my fish tank. Knowing I only have limited time, I decided to refill and change some water in the tank... a few liters perhaps.
So I got the bucket and the pump and started pumping out water. One bucket full - so I went to pour the dirty water away and collect some clean water from the tap. When I got back to the living room, where the fish tank is situated, I saw Mum busy rearranging the seaweed inside.
Mind you, by "rearranging" she meant "looking at which seaweed looks bad to her and cutting leaves or even the stem off"... which takes her ages.
I put on my favorite album, The Fame, and I expected to finish everything with the fish tank and go back to practicing piano after 5 songs, which is I Like It Rough. However Mum wasn't happy that I only remove one bucket of water and she requested that I remove another bucket after I have collected and treated the water from the tap (which I put in the same bucket, which means I have no bucket left). So I got another bucket from the balcony and pumped in another bucket of water. By the time I was pouring it the stereo was already playing the sixth song, Eh Eh.
Right after that I attempted to fill the water back into the tank. Mum opposed as she was still "rearranging" the seaweeds. So I waited, waited and waited. By the time I started filling in the water, it was already the 13th song, Brown Eyes and by the time I finished it, it was the 15th song.
So instead of taking 15 minutes, which was what I had planned, it took me nearly an hour. So that explains why I was stuck 12 midnight practicing piano, trying not to make too much noise. If I had practiced longer last night (or technically this morning), then this afternoon when I practiced I wouldn't be forgetting some notes. Ugh.
