Gosh!! Getting something like that to start is so difficult. Here we are in the forum commenting about LH trends and the bad attitudes of the LH "ah bengs", "ah pehs" and aunties, yet we can't even do something properly like fixing up a simple gathering.

People, can we just get our act together and get the ball rolling? If we don't start, we never will. If we can't be bothered or put aside personal preferences, then better not complain about the LH's trend. They can definitely do better than us cos' I heard that there are already groups of LH people who came together to breed their collections. No wonder there are new species of LHs out in the market so frequently.

Up to now, no venue and time has been fixed yet. Everybody, would all of you want to suggest a place and time and we all vote for it? Then we can fixed it on the most popular timing and venue. I think the agenda of this gathering for a start is to get to know all of us in this forum. At the meeting, we can then work out the rest of the details. LSZ? Huaikong? Sky D.? Everybody?

my reservist ends next week.
and after which i will be overseas for a short period.

I am all game for any trip/meets.
There are not a lot of farms in singapore. But we can still hop around. I dont have problem at all once i am free


But i have to make a point clear too.
Yes definitely we can meet up for trips etc etc.
We can do more things as a group.
But this is not what this cichlid thing is about.

Issac, actually i see we are already making progress.

THere has already been substentially a lot more cichlid talk, and of coz, Dovii's new imports are coming in soon.
There is also a lot more movement than compared to last time. Like i said earlier, this cichlid group thing is not about having a distinct and rigid physical structure.
We already have something going.
I had been around different forums for long. And believe me, so far what we are doing in a local forum here is already unprecedented. It needs time really.

This awareness is what i personally had been hoping for.
I am very happy with the way things go already. I had been an almost lone voice for years.

To me, trips, regular meets etc come secondary.
I believe we are doing lots of fish stuff together ourselves too. But dont get me wrong, i am very willing to organise things also.

there will be ppl coming to my house tomorrow to collect some fish, that will be a small meet if you dont mind.

ANd If you ask me, i think the first thing everybody should do is get more and bigger tanks if possible. Because cichlids need hell a lot of space. I will hate to see ppl buying lots of baby fish to "try out" and then have them
outgrowing everywhere.

[Simon]

[bEn88]

make it earier 4 u ...the shop is behind concord hotel
from there u will see lots of shophouses ..walk stright
when reach a juntion just turn left ...if i rem correctly
it beside a ktv..

[eZion]

It is near to Textile Centre or The Concourse at beach road(not Concord Hotel, thats quite far away).

Go ask your parents how to get there they should know where textile centre is. Else, you can go to street directory to find your way there.

If not, you can arrange with one of us to meet you at Bugis MRT, then bring you there.

[Sky Devil]

I think the meeting one in the mrt is a good idea. But when?

Think i will drop by then around 2+
Any of you want to go ? Maybe for those who dunno how to get there , we can meet at Bugis MRT first then walk over together ?

[eZion]

I am not sure if Lavendar MRT is nearer. I walked from there to Dovii's shop before, about 10mins.
