  1. Best person to ask is Victor from Iwarna. (92259393) . They are the sole distributor for Vortech. But according to him, this i heard during Aquarama, the stock may come in late October 2009. So if you can endure, do hold out. Otherwise i think the MP 20 is selling cheap as they want to clear stock. Donno if the offer during Aquarama is still on. Please don ask me anymore questions hor. Give you number already, just call him and ask okie? Victor is very friendly and won't bite one. hahahhahahahah

  13. pet mart at serangoon. They have 2 types: 1) black live sand. Supposedly beneficial, but more costly. Anyway i think most live sand in our tanks will become dead sand if we just keep lesser than 5 inches of it. 2) black crystal sand (this one is only $10/kg). Not live, but i think ok if can seed with old water from reefer's tanks. This one is a bit shiny and imho better looking
  14. Underwater, Thank you for your contribution. For the record, i don't think it is 'wrong' to help neighbouring countries or countries in dire help due to natural disasters etc. In fact i think it is paramount to lend assistance in such times. It is akin to helping to put out a fire of a neighbour's burning house. Everyone and anyone able will help. You will not think of spending that time practicing piano with your child for her grading the next day and justifying your actions by saying you have problems of your own and it is more important than the fire. And this is not exactly a good time to share the fruits of our fund raising efforts with other nations because we are having a 'fire' at our doorstep, unless you have not felt it or you are not aware. If your opinion is that the government should not be the only one helping other nations, i wonder if it is fair to place the responsibility of looking after own countrymen on our government. We need to help ourselves. We need our constituencies to help us too. As long as there is honest working person who needs help and has not been rendered adequate assistance, i do not think we are ready to help others. I do not take this debate personal and i kind of enjoy listening to other views. I hear the valid points and do agree silently to some. In fact, i have come to understand myself better these few days. I may be called selfish and myopic at worst, but i guess it is only my opinion in the end. Cheers.
  15. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408premiumgroup/ Most of the cameras here fit the bill. I bought a Fuji F100 and it works great. Pros and cons about compact and DSLR Do take note,however, that the investment for DSLR does not end with buying the camera with its stock lense if you want photography to be easy. It is almost always as important to sink in another 1k(basic) or more to buy appropriate lense for the specific situations. Having said that, compact has limitations in terms of picture quality and effects. Do extensive research on the web link i gave you and happy shopping!
  16. I fully understand the challenges you guys face. It is a dirty ˜cauldron" that not many Singaporeans, given our stressful lifestyles and challenging economy, will take up. Even if the word "self profiteering" comes up, I recognize that it has never been a pie that the volunteers share. When TT Durai's case surfaced, my heart went to the poor artistes who truly believed they were sweating and bleeding for a noble cause. Therefore, despite my cynicisms towards charity organizations, I have maintained admiration for the hardworking volunteers. I also concur that those who need a car wash and happen to be nearby lose nothing by detouring over and contribute to the fund raising activity. I might have done so if you are around my area (bukit timah) and I needed a car wash. It would please me more if I know that the $10 is to buy my needy neighbor a text book for his schooling child for the new school term. On top of that, I can see his appreciating smile and immediate effects of my kind deed. This is the same satisfaction and fulfillment you seek isn't it? I want that kind of satisfaction when I donate.(assuming i am in a charitable mood). I don't think that will happen if I donate to a faraway cause. Wishing you all the best in your fund raising activities is all I am willing to offer at this juncture of my life.
  17. My stand is this: ALOT more should be done for needy Singaporeans before we think about contributing to neighbouring countries. And during this period of recession, this sense of priority should be more focussed then ever before. To illustrate my point and bring focus to my argument, i give you an example. Hypothetical scenario: You guys have been extremely successful in this car wash fund raising activity. Due to the success, the event gets some publicity and the amount raised is mentioned in the papers. An elderly ah pek who has no dependents and living from hand to mouth chance upon the article. Another middle age women who just lost her husband(critical illness) found new responsibilities in raising her 3 kids single handedly read it too. It does not take very much to guess what their thoughts would be. "Why wasn't i the beneficiary to the donations? Why try to put out a distant fire when i am drowning right in front of you? Just as i do not wish this debate to turn out to be 'ME' against 'YOU', i hope you can keep the argument clean and free from loose name calling and accusations.I have never intended this to be personal. You should not too. p.s A keyboard warlord (as u described me) does not leave his name after his post as i did.
  18. Hi Kelstorm, I do not appreciate your name calling ethics. If you think my opinions are uncalled for, I would think your harsh words are equally sinful. You seem to make loose accusations and assumptions your way of life, just as I have my own presumptions about crime and poverty. I do not think it is far fetch to relate crime with poverty. As a matter of fact, statistics will prove that political unrest, unemployment and poverty are the main motivators for crime. In context, would a middle class executive be more likely to rob or one without a job and having a family to feed? I would like to reiterate that I did not say all poor will rob, nor did I say that the wealthy will not commit crime to fund their flamboyant lifestyles. Do not put words in my mouth. I am sure this thread will draw different responses from different people depending on which camp you are from. If you think my post will stir anger amongst the fund raising parties, I am equally certain that the needy and poor in Singapore will stand behind my arguments. More can definitely be done for them! And during this period of recession and unemployment, can you say that your one weekend of collecting can food is suffice to tide them through this crisis? Is the recession just for tomorrow or one week? It saddens me as much as it tickles me to think that you speak with such dignity of one week of fund raising for our countrymen. I have not, in any way, cast doubts about your sincerity and motives for involvement in the fund raising activity and I am surprised duly at your eagerness to clarify and defend. In my opinion, that wasn’t event the topic. I have always maintained a good level of admiration for self giving volunteers from charity organizations, despite the bad publicities arising from the major organizations in Singapore. I do not think I need to go into details. And when was it I mentioned you asked people to donate till their immediate family suffer? I really puzzles me how fast you jump to conclusions and how you put words in peoples’ mouths. The forum is really a platform whereby anyone and everyone has equal opportunity and rights to voice their opinions. I think can only put up a weak defence to argue otherwise.
  19. I am puzzled why so many fund raising activities are not aimed at helping our countrymen. In fact, since recession is at our doorstep, the money can go a long way helping the jobless and needy. Look at it this way, poverty in our country will directly have adverse effects in terms of rising crime. If the cambodians are starving, we are not directly affected. I believe in giving, but my principle is to give only when i am having surplus and providing very well for my family. Likewise, we should help our neighbours, but only when we are absolutely sure our countrymen's interests are given top priority. Why raise funds to build schools in China when we could have bought the school books for the needy in Singapore? My opinion is this. Raising funds for any other interests other than our own countrymen should be left to the government/politicians who wish to score points and build foreign relationships. Community centres or town councils should aim their efforts in improving the lives of the their constituency. i really mean no harm but just sharing my thoughts. All the best to your fund raising activities. It is after all a selfless and noble act. Kevin
