I think maybe one day I will follow you around loh... can ah? Learn something mah... hehehe....
Indo fellow are damn rich.. thats for sure. I know few of them, last time from same college. U see them buy car & stuff... like free one loh. Use cash some more man! Really cannot tahan.. some more all thing are branded one leh!
Ari... as you know, I m really just crazy bout snail.. do you have any kangtau for me or not? I want to expand more on my collection lah! Like one of your sifu say, "ony keep those ppl cannot keep, then baru called expert mah!". I want to "keep all those thing ppl don't wan to keep, baru called gila mah!" Hehehe...
Well, those guy told me not to keep those tank together its not a feng shui ppl, instead its a lfs guy. This guy told me like this, he say, water in the tank will vaporate, then why we see water level going down. And for those with marine tank, most metal thing around will get rusty because of the salt water. If we keep both marine tank and planted tank near by, bit bit of the salt will goto planted tank and vice versa. Thats why its not recomended lah, according to him. Seem like got logic also one oh.
Btw bro, do u think open a lfs can cari makan boh? Think of opening one lah.... u know lah, once we start to gila on the hobbies, sure want to make it for a living mah...

yar..from may to august i have plenty of time coz these are the quite months for seafood constructions. something to do with chinese calender, ghost festival and all that rubbish. after that...very very busy, especially this year as i try to establish my company in jakarta and and get some indonesian "Taichiyea" to invest in production....only then can i challege the big boys in Hongkong and China. malaysia is pasar malam la...the price simply throw here and there....still using A4 paper and pencil to draw plans..hahaha...dont think they know what blueprints are actually.
follow me around? sure why not...but the only thing you will learn is ...chasing girls...thats my main hobby
any kangtau i know here is already known to everyone...so bo kangtau lah. what you can do is travel overseas...hongkong, taiwan or guangzhou, these are the places i know have plenty of snails...take it as a holiday. no worries about transporting the snails back...just put them in mineral water bottle ..dry. customs at the airport is the Boleh kind.....ada duit semua boleh.
of course water will vaporate, and for salt water tank, you use arylic sheets to cover the top, to keep salt away from the lights. about thing rusting and salt getting into fresh water tanks will depends on you....do you put your hands in salt water then put it your fresh water tank?..of course no rite. so its all up to good managment on your part.
the lfs who told you this belongs to sekolah lama, the bull headed people who refuse to change according to time, its 2007 now...everything is about good managment and nothing is impossible.
hobby is hobby...when you mix hobby with business , then you surely will fail. FS is for lazy buggers, who could sit 14 hours in his shop, i for sure cannot sit that long, thats why im never in my shop. if you are happy with rm3 to 4,000 per month...then go ahead open a FS. this is certainly not enough for me. besides...nowdays suppliers are selling directly to consumers, so how on earth are FS going to compete and cari makan when suppliers potong all the jalan.
one example is AI..i use to take about rm15,000 worth of marine fishes from them per month..after they start selling to public...i boycott them. same goes for any suppliers who i know sells to public. why should i buy from them if they are trying to squeeze my balls. i even threaten a supplier if he sells to public , then i bring in a container worth of equipments from china and flood the market at cost price.....well, its hard to make a living running a FS. if it wasnt for my seafood construction company to cover most of the expensense, my fs would have close door long time ago. its not worth the trouble for rm3-4000 per month. the only reason why suppliers have yet to spit in my face is bcos they knew i have plenty of kangtau and jalan, well supported by top people, the reputation and a fat cheque book....or else i would been death along time ago. thats how it is to run a fs in malaysia...its hantu pukul hantu .....so do you really want to open a fs.
in bangkok or jakarta...the have unions to control price for fs, thats why they could survive. malaysia have unions too, but sleeping type of unions.
cc joe just open a fs..you go ask him lar good or not..hehehehe
