It took me very long to update any pics from the sailfish competition in Kuala Rompin due to several reasons. I am very disheartened by someone whom we used to call friend as he has been putting words in friends' mouths and even used their names willfully with ill intention against a good friend of mine.
My friends, you all could read abit of the 'juice' he created at this following link, http://www.fishing.net.my/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12298.
Sad but true................
Apparently, my name is also used by him in the above link. I have not spoken to him in a long time and have not spoken to him at all for the past few months. He made up so many stories trying to make believe others but lies are lies... Chinese has a saying, "Paper cannot cover fire..."
I have no idea what happened to him and what is his intention for doing such things. Singaporeans were deemed fighting themselves and showing off their battle in the M'sia forum. This guy has brought shame to Singaporeans as his actions are so childish.
When I was registering at the competition, someone from his team came talking bad about my dear friend. It is only a competition but somehow it seems like a battle between heaven and earth while my dear friend was simply ignoring them and their ill actions against him.
WHAT'S THE POINT?
We as Singaporeans, we should all stand together and show the world what we are made of. Instead of backstabbing each other in a foreign land. Even if we are from different teams, we should be cheering for Singapore as we are from the same country. Patriotism? It is hardly seen... signz...
Although things were seem so bad during the competition, there were still LIGHT among the darkness. Two different teams from Singapore were seen shaking hands and smiling at each other and even cheering for each other during the competition even though when there were team mates who hated the other team. This spirit is very encouraging. I was very disheartened during the competition as there were so much politics going around among the same countrymen but when I saw the other team's members smiling at me and said 'Good Luck!" to us, I was greatly encouraged by the incident.
I really want to thank all those 'angels' from the other teams and even the m'sians are showing great sportsmanship towards Singaporeans. Apparently, one of TWU Team's boat had a malfunction and they were apparently very far out where phones were useless toys out there to call for SOS. A team from M'sia apparently saved them from drifting far out into South China Sea. This is what sportsmanship is for. Even if we are competing against each other, we should be encouraging each other to work hard and fight a good battle. At the end of the day, we will all know that we fought a good fight and let the friendship move on further over a few beers and cheers for the winners.
Let's not sow evil to reap evil against anyone. We should all do good to each other especially when we are all representing our country in a foreign land. Let rest the evil as the light will arrest them sooner or later as darkness prevails not against the TRUTH.
Wake up man!!! Get a life somewhere!!!

"I slept two days onboard....."
Hello friends, sorry for the delay of the photos in regards to my trip up north not too long ago. I will reduce the size of the photos soon before posting in here. Not much though as I slept two days onboard... hahahaha. Yes, I slept for two days.... super slacker??? A good time for get-away for me. Kekekekeke...
Oh, it isn't seasickness that got me but it is the Z monster... I was lucky that my legs were not bitten off by any sharks out there as there was one sailfish got its head bitten off during battle when I was hanging my legs out of the boat enjoying the sun. Kekeke
From my friends who are divers and who plotted Lanjut area informed us that there is sharks and many... huge fellows too!!! They saw.... BULL SHARKS......
Watch it guys.... mind the sharks!

"I don't know leh....."
Just a few days ago, a group of Navy personnel suddenly appeared in the park doing 'treasure hunt'. It was mid afternoon and suddenly I noticed that a lot of cars suddenly were speeding into the park and people were gathering around. Many were holding some A4 size envelopes walking around with pens and paper as well. They seemed to be in a hurry and drove their cars pretty fast around.
Out of curiosity, I verified with BTP's manager in regards to the sudden commotions in the park. Apparently, these people never inform the management that they were utilizing the park for their 'treasure hunt'.
These servicemen were really 'fast and furious'. They proceeded to the family shelter and started unpacking stacked up chairs and tables for their usage. Notebook was plugged into the power point for power and fans were turned on to cool the immerse afternoon heat.
Upon questioning, the IC replied, "I didn't know that this is a private park at all."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, he said that he did not know that Bottle Tree Park is a private park. This is absolutely fine.
In order to join the RSN, personnel must at least have some brains and common sense with a cert, right?
WHERE GOT PUBLIC PARKS IN SINGAPORE GOT CHAIRS, TABLES, POWER POINTS, FANS AND SHELTER FOR FREE USAGE?!?!!!???!!!
If you have brains, you would be wondering how come there are such equipment around beside a restaurant? These people from RSN have no courtesy to even ask. Is it that difficult to ask? Luckily these IDIOTS did not go to the counter and take what they want from the store without paying... Oh come on... where got free lunches in Singapore? Even community services need money to run as well. You guys just come and go as you like... please lor... &*^#*&^#* wake up your ideas man!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some stupid questions asked,
"How come this is a private park?"
"Why cannot use the things here?"
"Not free one meh?"
Dear RSN servicemen, do you find lots of free tables, chairs, power points and fans in Botanic Gardens for general public to use? Botanic Garden is a public park leh. Your answer of "I don't know that this is a private park." is absolutely invalid. You guys simply can't be bothered to ask lah.
So many departments from MINDEF have held events at the park before. Each organizer had come to find out about the park before they came to use the facilities installed.
You guys simply 'SELF-SERVICED'. Shame shame....

What happened when you have our country men in other countries?
Singapore is such a small little country in this world but it is not hard to find our fellow country men all around the globe.
There are so many singaporeans all around the world. In USA, M'sia, France, UK etc...
I have friends who had stayed in different parts of the world and one of the common reason that why they chose to come back to Singapore is simply because fellow country men do not look after their own fellow country men. Isn't this sad?
The strife among singaporeans overseas are very common. Each tries to outwit each other to climb higher at the expense of their friendship. Most of them are always on their own and very selfish as well. Although not all singaporeans are like that but such incidents are happening everyday around the world.
Even in inter-national events, singaporeans fought each other in the public and made a fool of themselves in the papers. Two sportsmen punched each other up in neighboring countries....
Whereas when we're back in our homeland, such things ain't so extreme though. Why?
Why? How many people here actually know your neighbour's name? Their jobs? Most of us are all closed-door-singaporeans.
Whenever I am outstation for any reasons, I always see singaporeans fighting singaporeans. Why aren't we looking after each other in foreign lands instead? Our neighbors actually demonstrate better espirit de corp among them. They are out there to shine for their country and no matter what teams they are in, it doesn't make a difference as they are all from the same flag. Singaporeans? A very different story...
Do we carry our flag in other countries and killing our own fellow people to shine oneself? A sad but true story for us...

A good piece.....
It has been some times since I last blogged... just too busy with the word - lazy as well. Kekeke...
Last week, I met another stranger... another STRANGE man...
"Hi, how much is it for prawn fishing?"
"$14.50 an hour sir."
"Why are those people there (referring to the prawn fishing anglers) so stupid?"
"Beg your pardon, sir...?"
"I mean those people out there. So stupid! $14.50 can go NTUC buy alot of prawns! Hiaz... I just wonder why....."
"Sir, indeed you could purchase alot of prawns at NTUC but those prawns are all dead. It is not about the prawns but it is about having fun catching them and spending quality time with friends or family."
"I can buy prawns and cook them then spend good time with my family as well. Right?"
"Yes, you could. I am not stopping you from buying prawns from NTUC and I am not asking you to try prawn fishing as well. You have the liberty to choose what you want to do with your $14.50 and so the same for the rest of my customers as well."
"So stupid....."
Later on, he went on to talk to some of my customers... guess what... he got a good piece from them... hahaha

Know-everything-&-anyhow family day at the park.
When we run a business, definitely, we will face all kinds of problems with all kinds of customers. Dealing with hard-to-handle customers, we always have to put on a smile no matter what and do our best to resolve the situation. At the end of the day, running a business is about making money and not about creating enemies from customers.
There is a group of people which is hard to handle as well and they are NOT even customers. I call them the "Know-everything-&-anyhow".
These people would never contribute to the business. They will never buy anything from retail shops. They will never take out their wallet if their intention is to walk-walk-see-see only.
I have met many such cases at my business premises.
Know-everything-&-anyhow family day at the park.
Know-everything-&-anyhow grandma, "Fish prawn so expensive, market cheaper. Market prawn more fresh lah. Why these people waste money? So stupid! Market prawns more fresh lah."
How is it possible for a dead prawn to be fresher than a lively prawn?
Know-everything-&-anyhow uncle, "Aiyo, all these people so stupid. The operator feeds the prawn full full so that they catch nothing. So stupid. Waste money only. Go market buy better lah. Prawn fresher somemore."
If this uncle ever starts a prawn fishing business using such tactics, he would soon find his name in the history book. HISTORY!
Know-everything-&-anyhow wife, "Is it? They feed the prawns? Yalor... these people so stupid. Waste money. Prawns in market fresher lah."
The grandma's comment has a 'parroting' effect on the family. Dead prawns in market are fresher than live prawns.
Know-everything-&-anyhow family, "Stupid people. Waste money. Prawns in market are fresher lah. Hahahaha."
The above is not fiction nor just-for-laugh.
It happened yesterday at my place. This Know-everything-&-anyhow family was standing like only 3m away from the counter. Their Know-everything-&-anyhow comments started flying here and there. It was really irritating. As they were know-everything-&-anyhow commenting, their voices got louder.
Just then, a customer had just ended his session and packing his prawns at the packing station. He had a bag full of prawns. Know-everything-&-anyhow family looked at it and then said, "Market prawns look better and fresher. Hahahahaha. Waste money." The customer stared at them but they seemed so happy and started to get carried away.
"Hello. We don't feed our prawns here. We are doing a business here. We DON'T feed our prawns at all. We are doing a business here."
I had no choice but to 'interrupt' their behavior. Upon hearing from me, they 'lowered' their voices but I could still hear them from 5m clearly. (I was eating dinner on another table.) This time, I repeated firmly to them and finally, they kept their know-everything-&-anyhow mouths shut. They kept turning their heads back to look at me. I smiled back. Even as they were walking away, they kept turning back to see if I was still looking at them. Indeed, I kept my pair of eyes on them.
Apparently, this Know-everything-&-anyhow family was merely visiting the park for the first time. They did not have dinner at the park nor did they patronize any of the services in the park as well. They are not customers and then they know-everything-&-anyhow comment about the services...

One day at my pond....
One day at my prawn pond, two ladies walked towards my counter. They seemed to be debating something about the prawn fishing.
Aunty Anyhow, "How much for prawn fishing?"
Lady Knowhow, "$14.50 lor."
Aunty Anyhow, "See... they don't provide rod for fishing."
Lady Knowhow, "Got lah. Look at all the rods behind the counter..."
Aunty Anyhow, "They don't give baits one...."
Lady Knowhow, "They do. Look here. These are the baits and wow, all cut up."
Aunty Anyhow, "Water blur blur... cannot see prawns. Sure got no prawns."
Lady Knowhow, "Walau. You see yourself lah. There, got prawn come up liao."
Aunty Anyhow, "Down here no big prawn one lah."
Lady Knowhow, "Yesterday the one I caught big or not?"
Aunty Anyhow, "Big, that one big."
Lady Knowhow, "I caught here one lah!"
Aunty Anyhow, "Err... $14.50, market can buy more prawn lah."
Lady Knowhow, "......................................"
Sometimes, presumption just simply makes you look really stupid. All you have to do is ASK but please don't ask stupid questions too.
"I come so many times and I never see you all put prawns one, got prawns or not?"
"If we never put prawns, then I could have properly packed my bag and balek kampong liao... if no prawns, why are you coming back after so many times?"
Aunty Anyhow, "How much for prawn fishing?"
Lady Knowhow, "$14.50 lor."

My hermit crabs are GONE!!!
Today, when I reached the park in the afternoon, I noticed that something was amiss. I found my dear hermit crabs missing from the tank with the lip of the cover opened. I asked around, no one noticed anything except my part timer saw 3 kids were crowding round the crabs earlier on.
Argh.... my crabs are STOLEN!!!

Ans: ".........."
Man One: "Got sell baits or not?"

I believe this pretty babe knows the language - english, pretty well like herself...
But.... why is she asking me about things that are written clearly on the paper?
She isnt the only one... lots of them do it as well......... pretty or not, it doesnt really matter. They just do it... JUST DO IT!

SAY NO TO PAINTED SHELLS - HERMIT CRAB
First look at the painted shells... fantastic marketing strategy!
When I looked closer... alot of chipped paint are found on the hermit crab's body. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
Seriously, alot of pple are asking me in regards to these hermit crabs. I would tell them that I am no expect. They should go ask those who are selling it instead. They should know more and the ones that I have, are my pets and I treat them the way I see fit to keep them alive and happy.
Thus, I say no to painted shells but it doesnt mean that you have to follow my advice.
Maybe those who are really interested in hermit crabs, pls read The Crab Street Journal.
I believe you will know how I feel about painted shells...

Thank you! Thank you!
Hello people,
Thank you for the great response in regards to the cutie pinkie bluey lobsters. They are all sold out.
I took two home today. One of them has a few legs missing and the other, left over as it is less perfect - one big one small claw.
My tank is becoming a nursery. I have two almost perfect ones. Two less perfect and two that have legs missing. 6 of them, all inside my 1' by 1/2' FIVEPLAN Tank and a GEX Bio-filter.
As many have asked me what am I feeding them with, basically I feed them with frozen red worms and also the food that is for sales at my counter meant for lobsters (Japan product). All of them are eating the food that I give them happily.
For those who experienced 'fasting'. I suggest that you all please get them a proper home like mine. As these pinkie bluey lobsters are hybrid. They are very hard to come by. When these little fellows are in a 'good' home, I believe they will feed readily.
If you are willing to bring them home and so, please take good care of them. If you are experiencing extreme difficulty with them, please contact me and I will do my best to help out. Please be a responsible 'parent'. Otherwise, I suggest that you return the lobsters back to me and I will take good care of them. When back in good health, I will find responsible owners for them once more.
Meanwhile, I have no remaining stocks due to the overwhelming demand. I could still take order online and would delivery them asap upon new batch of these cuties.
Meanwhile... got other colors coming... Hahahahaha

Careful of mud holes along the side of the road (Lor Chencharu)
Today, a little mishap occurred along Lor Chencharu. A huge truck got stuck in the mud by the side of the road. The aft wheels sank almost half a ft deep into the mud. Currently, recuse operation is in progress and hopefully the truck could be rescued soon. For visitors to the park, do keep an eye open for mud holes along the side of the road when driving along Lor Chencharu. I believe the contractors will filled up the holes but it is smart to play safe.
Oh, too bad that the truck's license number is not 4 digits. Hahahaha
