No worries guys... it's good to know how a typical local is feeling these days. We know we are not alone, there are many others in the same boat. So let's wait for election and let the votes do the talking... even MM Lee also said recently," If Mr Mah Bow Tan loses his GRC, he deserve it..." so the meaning is so clear. Alright, back to reefing. But I got nothing much to update.. haha....

ahaha... Siang ah, the morale of the story is, you should have join your buddy in SZ and get yourself a china wife!!!! Hahaha.... LOL. U can mayb even live like a king there liao. But i like to retire in Australia... slow pace, can grow your own food, can visit nice beaches, road trips... etc. How I missed my undergraduate days.......

Haha, I even quarrelled with a China Executive in the train before!!! Was sitting n trying to sleep when he enter and sit next to me very aggressively. Stretching his legs wide open pushing against mine to give himself more space. I endure for a while until I can't bear no long, I scolded at him, "他-妈-的，你推够了没有？你的球很大吗？" He was quite shocked to get from me and started retorting back saying why I talked so uncivilised. I blasted him back, "so you stretched open your legs so big very civilised la?" He kept quiet and close back his legs!!!! Seriously, I dun give face to these China men who dress so executively but still behave like they are back in China. Dun let these foreigners climb over us!!! Good ones can stay, but those think they can get away behaving like they are back in their home country, then they should F back to their hometown.

Haha.. sorry bro, didn't know my tank thread is so depressing for u to read... but isn't it very real? That's life in Sg. U n me face the same problem day in n out...

His last sentence sounds like a quote from a Buddha script, 色即是空，空即是色。。。。。 Well, it has been a good venting out for me though... now to tackle HDB, they reply me in regards to my visit to my MP to write to them... and today's Straits Time article on 6 applicants for 1 unit for the new house in Punggol and Sengkang is what I just need to shoot their backside!!!! So the minister is tocking &*^&* when he says there are enough flats for all Singaporeans...

Law, can i bring a small container and get some sample from u?? hahaha... think time to give my wrasses some choices of food apart from the daily pallets n Henry Reef gourmet...

More pics bro... Inspire me!!! Haha...

Actually ur 2ft fits nicely just beside our door... but no power supply la. Also scare the LS n equip kana stolen. I last time lost my slippers when I left it outside!!!

Bro your case different... by the time u complete and get your Dr.... u just wait for the nurse to throw themselves at u, plenty to select!!!! Wahahaha.... but then, u hav to compromise your age!!!! Bro, your future is there la... no need to worry. Not like me... do wrong course, enter the wrong career industry, wat else could go more wrong...

Haha... i was thinking more of "Old cow eat tender grass"... WAHAHAHA

bro, is this your experience??? I very curious to know... hahaha... Well, i think guys always have a slight disadvantage in terms of career building due to the lost of 2-2.5 yrs NS. By the time u complete a degree, already 24, fresh grad at 25 with a full time job, take about 5 yrs to save $$ for marriage... start to have kids immediately at 31, n u just hope you dun lose your job when u reach >35. I think this sum up my life so far.... Kakaka.... Actually, we had seen JW, JE, BBatok, but just no luck. My block also had one unit just directly 2 levels above us n we dun mind getting since upstairs downstairs, I went there n was 10mins late, the property agent tell me they just sold it 10mins ago..... now this is what I called "Ci Jiao ma bian Gway"(hokkien)

well, kinda of matured estate lor, even Clementi cost as much.... or resale JE also near to $500k!!!! Siao one la. We didn't expect the down in 2009 lasted only less than 6 months... before we blink our eyes, over liao... (*&^*% Bro, u got your own apartment right? At least you got it when the property price is not crazy like now?

Yes, we r also considering getting a resale, only if the COV is not more than $20k... but kinda unrealistic lor... ppl now asking for the sky in terms of COV!!!!!

U bet we were looking at Condos just last yr, n before we can secure any, now all shoot up to >$1k /psf!!!! Out of budget liao. But u mean those older ones at Balestier is still selling at ard $600-$700/psf? If yes, worth considering to invest, but cannot move. Must see if got any good Primary school nearby first... gotta plan for my older son, another 3 more yrs, P1 and Parents Volunteer must be done ard 2 yrs in adv.... wah... now, this is even more challenging!!!!

Yup, tat is 50% right, cos it has been 5 yrs (9 applications/balloting) and we still have not successfully get our own house!!!! So while staying with parents has many benefits, but when it comes to personal space, it is really conflicting and creates a lot of friction. Alot of give and take. Not just the tank, even when putting my kids in a room of their own also had some conflicts. So, those who are single but planing to get married soon, do think carefully on your own house. Dun bcome like me...... from a $300+ 5 rm hdb, I q until now costing >$600K!!!!! Just simply no luck unless I settled in Punggol or Sengkang.....

so how u convince your mother for your existing 5 ft??? Now, talking about patience... i think i have to wait until my kids grow bigger, remove the play yard before I have any more space to play around with.

Looks like my reefing life is always full of hurdles.... existing tank is already damn challenging, family members also challenging... I think my life is just getting more n more challenging from the way it is..... I thought hobby is supposed to keep one relax and get away from the work stress... but it seems, mine is adding more stress!!! LOL....

haha... bro, I like your description, terrorist tactics!!!!!

ya la... we are always a gin na in our parents' eyes. Even when you bcome parents liao, they still like to boss ard you. Cannot this, must teach your kid tat... blah blah blah... sigh.

hey bro qiang, u very filial liao lor. Weekend still helps out your parents' stall despite you still have your tank to take care...

Thks Chris, of cos, if i can handle on my own also dun wanna disturb others... scarly your gf complain u spent more time with your reefer frens than her... I cannot carry such responsibility... hahaha... Actually, I was thinking of visiting your new tank last night as I had an event until 9pm. Scarly, drag until 10pm.... so better not disturb u liao.

dear all, thanks for the support and encouragement. I really need to vent out somewhere.. had been hiding inside me since last night after my mother's confrontation... *expletive*... imagine father of 2 still kana bombed... damn DL.... they always treat us like kids... sigh... If I can't handle such small matter, how I going to survive in my work!!!! (*#&%^%&*^#

haha.. yes, i managed all alone when I reach hm... no joke. My arms are ok, used to it cos I have to carry my almost 20kg son every weekends. But my lower calf muscles are aching like siao cos, I was washing the tank while squatting... used almost half a bottle of vinegar, n now your old tank looks clean and neat... Sigh, u know what is the irony, I actually had convinced my wife, but now its my mother!!!! Wah lau eh, why the women in the house always so many negative opinions... I super de-moralized. So the tank now sits just outside my main door. Will have to wait for a period for her to cool off first. I seriously need to get my own apartment and move out liao. Bloody cant even make such a small decision over a 2ft tank. Anyway, I m still collecting the equipments slowly, so I no hurry. Just take my own time to do it slowly and un-noticeable.... hehehe....

Shld let them continue and watch the free show mah.... hahahaha....

lol...small one la. No budget leh. Since got bro wanna give away his 2 ft, I might as well take up and do a proper one just for corals...
