Hey man... don't just give up like that!!! I also get constant discouragement from my Internal Affairs Minister... so what? I need to do what's best for myself and to keep myself happy... unless you are bored <_< Don't give up!!! You're gonna graduate soon right? You're gonna get a job and everything is gonna be alright :D – I guess you just need some encouragements to balance the discouragements... trust me... money will go away eventually... so if u r not spending it on this hobby, you probably gonna spend it somewhere else :lol: That's life!

yeah i know. i supposed to graduate in another 2 years, and judging from my results, might take longer. and juz dat this is something which i really enjoy, but then, with the amount of discouragements i am getting, i rather get something else that can cheer me up, and not get myself so much comments.

i mean wat is it with my dad anyway. buy car to park in MCP, rather den willingly lend it to his son. and i pay for the petrol! not to say his car is damn fuel efficient. 8km/l. go sch come back same as taking cab.. wanna comment on anything never ever tell me straight. always go thru my mum. crap la...

so much better to juz keep my 2 footer. keeps me cheery. wait till the bill comes for my 3 footer at home. my dad will tear the house down.

Ok ok... I can see your point there... well that's the problem with our society/culture. Most of our Dads go through our Mums whenever they need to say something... that's very normal, so let's not analyze that too much.

How big is your new tank? Perhaps the size is a little too daunting :unsure: 2 more years? Then how come you moved out of your hostel? If that's the case, go back to hostel lah! Got a feeling you won't be too happy at home :unsure:

Ok ok we are going a little :off: here and I am not counsellor... why don't you post a pix of your new tank in your home environment. Perhaps you placed in a eye-sore position... or something... perhaps you wanna get a smaller tank.

Yes bro Jacobus... a bit cliche... nothing is impossible including keeping MI (aka Mission Impossible) :lol:

Bro Colinsoon, just sleep early tonight... things will be alright tomorrow. I got a feeling you are full of "gas" right now.

Perhaps you wanna promise you Dad you will study hard... that way you can keep your tank... at the same time use the tank to constantly remind you of your studies... that's a win-win situation actually... honestly, at your stage in life... you really need to study hard lor... if given a chance to go back to your age, I will really study hard... I wanna be an Architect or a Lawyer... :lol::lol::lol: So cliche :P:P:P

for me.. i think the best way is to remain the same tank at home. then u no need to buy new chiller n skimmer.

not to discourage. my dad used to off my fish tank light. off the fan. say save electircity, i keep sayin that the LF living inside will die. and he knows nohting abt reefin. n tellin me things like he know a lot. when my gonio is not openin n it's fading. dad say, no wad.. where got die.. nothing wrong with it.

i cant bare to see my $ fade away in the tank. close lor. when no 1 at i closed the tank.

then dad come n home lecture me. say i selfish nv ask then close the tank. affect other ppl in the family... say i rebelous cos he say wanna save on electric bill then i just close the tank.

i was thinking, crap la.. u know no shit abt the tank.. i spent my $ cannot close meh?

so im gonna get a new 3ft when in future. when i get my own home. pay my own bills. my dad cant say anything.
