jackywongto Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 initially its hard, but after they sense my love for this hobby. they gave way for it. and sponsored mmost of my equipments! hehe thats a pretty lucky case for me. btw, get them involve, buy those fish they like. make ur tank nice nice. so they will appreciate it more. my dad always complain about the tank but these days, he will be boosting how much $ he put into the tank etc etc when theres visitor. but its more like my effort and time. btw its a 6.5ft tank because it is a healthy hobby if you compare it to gambling, clubbing, other questionable hobbies, parents/ spouse would support reefing anytime!

kanegan Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Bro, Errm...if i remember correctly, i sold to you the mandarin rite? How is it doing? Yap true, hafing a 'paper' doesn guarantee success but hey, is a good start! Oops... I was hoping you wouldn't ask. ... the little guy up lorry after about 3 weeks. I bought arctipods for him, my tank also have a pod population and I think he was eating a bit but I just couldn't fatten him up leh. He got weaker over time and finally died... The corals are doing well though especially the injured brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member LaW Posted March 30, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 30, 2010 hi bro, Like i say, it doesnt apply to all. At least you graduate b/f 30 mah, i turning 32 this year and no decent piece of 'paper'! different! as you have all the working experience! experience is important. and its never too late to whack for another "paper" Haha... i was thinking more of "Old cow eat tender grass"... WAHAHAHA i always say to my gf shes an old cow eating tender grass because im couple of months younger than her. 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... jim, that if only im accepted la. if not i also need to suck thumb. but hope i will be. pray pray pray i understand how you feel, i also chose wrong course, thats why i wanna try to jump ship while i still can. must be very torturing for you. but for your tank and your kids, must hang on.

SRC Member desideria Posted March 31, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 31, 2010 When you step into a train, you will be surprise if you really observe around how many china nationals we have in our midst. LOL very easy to spot, talk very loud on their mobiles to let the whole world hear their conversation even when the whole train is quiet in the mornings! But I think after staying here a while, some do tend to behave less "loudly", my ex boss ( whom I get allot VERY well and I do admire her) is a china national and she doesn't seem to yell her head off when she picks up her phone in public. sorry to stereotype but it's the truth... anyway every nationality have their own quirks!

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.
