I am not racist lah.
its just a norm. me more talkin abt the level of corruption there. I have cheong JB (10+) odd years back since my secondary school days.. even a small youth of late teens they also want to makan my frens at the custom.
if kelong is yr livelihood, comes CNY (in case ppl says I always racist), I will do more, then got more ang pow to give my relatives. this is logic.
I have different races of frens.. we play soccer much.. my wife best fren is malay..
I got good indian frens.. attend their wedding.. also invite my malay frens to my wedding. esp setup one halal table for them. so dun jump to conclusion tat I am making a racist remark.. in my secondary days, my malay frens themselves will wack u for saying I am racist, not me.
kelong is splash all papers over our next door neighbour. n tis is not a racist remark. though Malays have special privileges over Chinese across the border. now who is racist..?
pls read this n give yourself some serious thinking..

Bwilly ... shall we live & let live ... dun want 2 argue about these stuff when there R better things 2 talk about ... like our fishes & corals
.Infact there R countless things that we can raise about our neighbours but whats the point ... its not as if we can change their thinking right? U might think that I am supporting them but the reality is its the opposite. Tho they do deserve flak 4 countless things against our tiny country, but there R things that R good about them (if not why do we Singaporeans still go there by the throngs??). Everything's got good & bad, pros & cons ...
Lets put it this way, U have your opinions & I have mine, lets just leave it at that.
We cool ... ??
P.S :
pls read this n give yourself some serious thinking..Its OK ... I can think 4 myself

Ruff....
I don't want to burst your bubble about the hari raya thing. but its quite true actually. read up on all the car forums, and you'll see almost everybody who goes down there in a Singapore registered car getting pulled over for speeding along the NS highway when they were only doing 90km/h.
maybe the higher occurance during the festivity periods doesn't justify that remark and it does sound a bit racist. for that, I apologise.
like what you said. live and let live. oh wait. did you say that?
you probably haven't been torced by the malaysian police when it comes to this...so maybe it doesn't affect you that much. or maybe you have, but have chose to ignore it. but this is a public forum, and people are entitled to their own opinion and five cents point of view *ME INCLUSIVE!* so chill out, relax about bwilly. I'm sure he meant no harm to the muslims or to the malaysians! (=
if there is a misunderstanding in this posting, please let me know and I'll gladly sort it out okay? just want you to see from my point of view. (=
Hi terry&simon ... dun worry everything's cool.
U might B right about the frequency of summons being issued 4 our Singaporean vehicles but it just had a racial slur 2 it (even if it wasn't meant that way
). Yes I've heard of horror stories in the North & emphatise with our drivers. Tho we've driven there countless times B4 we R extra careful Bcoz we should respect other country's rules. If our neighbours choose 2 conduct their business in an ungracious or unethical manner, we should just refrain frm going there in the 1st place. Support our local economy ... "donate" here instead U R also right when U say that this being a public forum ... everyone's entitled 2 their own opinions. Tho I respect that unfortunately I am a stickler 4 unsavoury comments
... aiyah, mayB its better that I keep my opinions 2 myself. Then dun have 2 bother bout backlash etc .... dun have time 4 all that.I think we all have better things 2 worry about ... like work, $$, our family .... so I'm going 2 stop at that.
Peace

if u dun drive there n dun go there..
dun incorrectly point out something which you yourself
did not witness..! if its relate to marine keeping, alot of unncessary
morality rate will arise oki.. this talk abt character..
eg. I bang into u, n I still expect u to says "sorry"? got such reason or not..?
u go n tik.
* wat first remark..? I dun go ard monitor ppl thread..
u go n tik..
or u got anytik against me in the first place..? I dun recall any
race nor religion remark I made. so if u care to enlighten me.
Duh ... whatever!!! Dun have time 2 entertain these mindless stuff ... just remember - search your soul & ask yourself, at the end of the say ... U reap what U sow dude.

nabez.. u drove to JB b4 or not..?
9 out of 10 polis there kelong oki..
any problem I got into with the hooligans
there I settle myself, dun talk abt calling
to polis. if u dunno dun says. my mum relatives
also knew abt the veri kelong oki.
Singaporeans are fat milkin cow, u tik they will
care abt us..? now more the time they will prowl
the streets to milk us cow.
I know the JB inside out, I used to cheong there thrice a week.
a few times kenna problem with gangsters, not even a polis comes to help out. its all man for himself.
but then that has not put me off going in there, till one day my wife spoke to me ....
hari raya comes, its not only abt kopi money oki..
its high time u show off u got money, its talking abt face..
I was about 2 write a scathing remark in my reply 2 U by I shall refrain & B the better person about this. My main aim in joining this forum is 2 learn more about marine keeping ... not get dragged down by empty repartees with people who R clearly insensitive 2wards others. I do have 1 problem with your comments. I quote :
nabez.. u drove to JB b4 or not..?Mister ... there's no need 2 use vulgarities here. Please B more of a gentleman, this is a family-oriented forum
U make what U must frm the above exchanges. I suggest U B more sensitive in your comments in the future, especially about race & religion (this is not your 1st remark). Others might not B so gracious ...
-
suggest u dun go in there. let things settle down first.
even if u dun have any summon, kenna road block, they
"eat" u by saying u have, u LL must also pay..
some more with hari raya coming, they will need alot of
kopi money u know.. its a trend, trust me.
I think thats a very unfair & careless remark/statement, ... just because their new year (Hari Raya) is approaching does not mean that U can assume they "saman" us Singaporeans even more (just 2 make more kopi $$). -
What is the web site in Malaysia to check any traffice offence ?
To Check Outstanding Malaysia Traffic Summons
Click on the "JPJ Purplish Logo" & key in your Singapore registered vehicle license-plates.
It will tell U if U have any outstanding traffic summons. This is a Singapore (local) website, how accurate it is I dun really know, but I think its a direct link 2 the Malaysian website that U key in your license numbers.
P.S : MayB 1 of our Malaysian reefer brothers/sisters can give us their local website addy that we can access.

I tried using tweezers 2 "spear" it ... but the fella's too smart 4 his own good
. It managed 2 avoid my pincers many many times ... mayB with Scanman's crab-trap, I can finally catch it (suspect it's been murdering my nassarius snails). -
How 2 differentiate the good worms from the evil ones? They all look alike 2 me ...
-
I think its called Turbo Snails ...
-
yea u better stop cause if there's such a woman....
I think U're very wrong about that ... coz I'm as guilty as the next guy (& I'm a gal). I'm very lucky that my hubby's not only supportive of my new hobby & helps out unconditionally, but also takes me out 2 farms/LFS 2 seek new stuff. He may not B as "obsessed" as me but he's equally (if not as keen as me) on marine keeping.
Dun think there ain't exceptions in this world; hobbies ain't gender bias. There R ladies out there who R equally passionate as the men R in marine keeping ...
P.S : Hey, give the ladies a break ... tho many R not as "obsessed", they R generally "tolerant" & giving ... coz they love/care & understand that every man needs his TOY ...

Aiyoh ... U people R so cruel 
... Sadists!!!

i heard that they have been in this biz for about 20 years.. previously moved from paya lebar to lavender... as they have large stocks coming in and the retailers crowd in to get their stocks whenever shipments come in they dun have much time scrubbing and so forth... found from lady boss they have 2-4 shipments per week. it's true that they often have a large number of buttons and mushrooms to choose from.
MayB they should get/operate a farm too
. That way they can do the distribution & sorting out of LS/corals etc. at their farm (ie. farms being wet/dirtier as most R usually) & send the good & healthy specimens 2 their shop in Lavender, 2 sell. Since they've got good contacts/shipments weekly, they might do better if they re-access their distribution line - then they can make more $$ & yet save LS lives & inturn contribute 2 the marine arena by being better & responsible LFS owners.
That might solve the problem ... but of course running a farm is not cheap lah (I know).
There's hope yet ...

Actually I do stay in an HDB flat....
I know this tank is a ton.... 
Does that mean that yr tank size is probably 1 of the biggest able 2 squeeze in2 an HDB flat (pre-assembled)?? Unless of course U get yr tank assembled in the flat itself ...

I think we should happy that we're even getting a bonus 2 begin with, when most companies dun. I think we should always B grateful that we have jobs 2 begin with. Whether its 1/4 mth or 1/2 mth bonus or 13 mth pay, at least thats a job waiting 4 us on Mondays. At least there's $$ 2 buy food, $$ 2 pay 4 housing, $$ 2 buy clothes, $$ 2 pay bills ... There R people without jobs, people who have 2 beg & borrow even 4 food, people who have no roof over their heads ... Can't we see how lucky we actually are??
I'm always grateful 4 my family's health & well-being, whether we have more or less $$ is not really important (yes $$ is crucial 4 survival but it aint everything lah), as long as we R healthy, happy & loved, thats all that matters most.
Count your blessings whilst its there & always B grateful 4 what U have, coz U'll never know when its gone ...
Well, thats my mantra anyway ...
Cheer up everyone ... & start planning 2 save ... or spend your year-end bonus!

Someone posted in another thread that they R being inspected (??). Is it due 2 public complaints, 4 their lack of care/cleanliness/upkeep etc.?? Or R inspections done at random?
MayB after the inspections they will buck up ... we can only hope ...
After all, they do bring in a good variety of LS/mushrooms that R reasonably priced, mayB a better upkeep will help out.
Personally, I think they have a lot of good potential ... just need 2 do a bit of re-thinking ... "re-scaping". Their 2nd level area is also improving a lot. I wonder how long they have been in business (??) ... if they R "seasoned" businessmen in the marine arena, they should have been "acclimatised" by now. There's still hope ...
P.S : I still go there ... everytime, hoping things will get better. Never give up ...

A few years back, beating the red light camera used to B 6 demerit points, but now its increased to 12 oredi (think its the same 4 speeding rite?).
Most times they dun "entertain" anybody's pleas 4 "innocence" ...
but who knows, U might B lucky. Or it might just make U more fed-up ... try but then get turned down (get yr blood boiling & heart rate faster 4 nothing).
Just my opinion thats all ...
-
Demerit points last for 2 yrs, then it goes back to normal. Dun think writing in will help much (especially if the vehicle license plates were caught on camera
), but no harm trying.Aiyah ... if U get caught breaking the rules in Singapore (any rules), just pay up loh. Take it as a lesson learnt well, which will NEVER be repeated by the "offender" (tho its an EXPENSIVE lesson 2 learn!).
Besides, if U dare 2 do it, dare 2 bear the consequences ...
Peace

MayB the culprit's a very hungry crab?
-
Thats Blassa Merleti...
Supposingly a not so regularly imported specimen...
and yes, I intend to sell frags from this colony.... only issue it that the amount of frags available has already been reserved...... by another crazy reefer....
How do U go about fragging them? Cut them at the ends? How 2 attach them back on a piece of rock? Or is it the same, like its done for mushrooms?
-
Hey, look on the bright side... you could have gone shopping at the shop next door!
Haha ... even bigger hole in the pocket
-
Saw a lot of cowfish (looks quite healthy) at Sea Life. Some nice mushrooms too. Their show tank got nice big fishes ... few big gobies & Powder Blue Tang (all very healthy & nice colouration).

Hi Yellowbelly
I dun think the guys mean any harm
... infact if U sieve thru the comments posted here, there's a lot of info & advise frm yr 1 post (as opposed 2 other topics started by a newbie). Dun get offended OK ... everyone's here just trying 2 learn frm 1 another, thats all .Dun believe everything U hear frm the LFS, most give lousy advice & even the ones that R not out 2 CON U, they might still B giving U the wrong advice
. U must remember most LFS just wanna make $$$, as much as they can frm 1 person, they R businessmen after all. I find that if I arm myrself with enough basic knowledge, its easier 2 spot the good LFS among the unscruplous ones. Like AT said, take their advice with a huge pinch of salt ... U have 2 trust your instincts & know-hows. If we appear knowledgeable, its not that easy 4 the LFS's 2 cheat us ... My only advise 2 U is 2 B patient & constantly read up (its really worthwhile) - whether thru SRC, the internet, books or well-knowledged reefers & a lot of trial & error. B4 embarking on marine keeping, I didn't know a lot of the lingo used here but slowly I am beginning 2 absorb the terms. I find that joining a forum helped a lot because U can ask real-time questions & U might get answers quickly
.Yellowbelly ... strive on & U'll soon B staring & admiring your newly set-up marine tank.
Good Luck!
cremation
in General Reefkeeping_
Posted
U can try the SPCA. They do provide cremation services for a small nominal fee. U can either send your deceased pet yourself at SPCA or U can give them a call & get one of their guys 2 pick up your pet for you.
