Hi all
I just came back from Thailand and had bought 3 cute goldfish from Chatuchat market at cheap price but was been stopped once I go through the X-ray machine. Very sad to leave them there...... |

I put up this notice is to let others newbies to note that this can't be ever happened again to get fishes from oversea but who know I got so many so call "oldies" giving all the "strong words" comment. very disappointed with all the "oldies" but thanks to ChLeong.
I wonder will any more newbies be dare to write any more things again. I will think twice too.....since so many discouraging "oldies" around....... |

QUOTE(CHLeong @ Sat, 27 Nov 2004 5:18 pm) Another strong word for those on vacation and hunted..."Kiasu S'porean"? For the gentleman who's fishes was confiscated by the thai authority please do not feel hurt by the remark, just enjoy your hobby.  Why should anyone feel hurt? That "Kiasu" is a term generally used. Not targetting at anyone or the gentleman who's fish were confisticated.

I cannot follow why you could have felt so disappointed over the comments made by the oldbirds. If you have not raised the issue, there will not be some informative post which Tan has posted: http://www.rafflesgold.com/forums/index.ph...indpost&p=20934 I know your good intention in bringing up this issue. But as part of discussions, there are bound to be encouraging and discouraging comments. There HAS TO BE REASONS WHY some things are so discouraged by oldbirds. Are you able to catch the flow of this disccussion here? It narrows down to how you take advices, even the discouraging ones. On a more personal note. I have told you over MSN Messenger before your trip that you need to find a place in the airport area where you can declare your fishes before you can cross the Thai custom, although I wasn't able to tell you where exactly the place is that time. You should already have seen this coming, shouldn't you? As I have mentioned before somewhere in another thread, hobbyists/newbies are NOT entirely ignorant. It is always "that something else"... |

"Kiasu" is a remark at someone's behaviour and it is not a positive word, agree? Someone may be hurt so best to avoid. Rgds CH Leong |
