Ok now back to event proper


Last sultry weekend,I took the initiative to capture with my digital some of the prominent landmark buildings and structures surrounding the venue of this exhibition mall



Well armed with my telephoto lens(chek),manage to capture this with utmost pride

[goldrush]

Oooops wrong again

Got too carried away by the up coming olympic and that unforettable Bird-nest stadium


Now here's the real thing


First abit of the poetic introduction

MYFG WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN MAY
SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T COME THAT DAY
MYFG WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE WEST
THAT WAS WHAT I REMEMBER BEST
BUT NOW WE KNOW IT WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER
A LONG WAIT BUT ALL GOLDFISH NUTS SHOULD REMEMBER
ALAS THE VENUE HAS CHANGED TO THE EAST
FROM WEST TO EAST ,MOST DON'T MIND IN THE LEAST.....

[goldrush]

Eastpoint Mall is one of the many prominent shopping malls in the Eastern part of Singapore and is located at Simei Estate.As in many well established towns in Singapore,it is fed by our excellent infrastructure like MRT,bus sevices and road assess.

The many different facades of EastPoint


Landmark sign to indicate you have reached your MGR(location)


For commuters by bus,the verious bus services available


For MRT user,SIMEI station is just a stone throw away



For car users,there are carparks within the building and around the HDB estates


The many Eateries availble to have your TCS and lim kopi


What remains of once a petlover's centre where all types of pets are house within the basement of this premise




Some diehard fans of the past still have fond memories of the place and still give their pets a free run outside Eastpoint compound



Now let us enter the arena,THE ATRIUM,where we will do battle with our TANKS and our priceless GOLD for the most coveted prize......THE GRAND CHAMPION AWARD

a PANORAMIC VIEW shot from the atrium showing a skylight canopy overlooking the exhibition area which should allow enough UV rays to penetrate and enhance the colours of your fishes




These are views of the atrium where the tanks should be deployed






Finally if your tanks suffer from possible pH shock then you can head down to nearby PHOON HUAT for your instant pH buffer....aka SODIUM BICARBONATE.They sell the 5 kg packet apart from the the smaller 1 kg bottle






One final note.

SEE YOU ALL(GOLDFISH KAKIS) AT EASTPOINT IN SEPTEMBER AT THIS JUNCTION

BYE BYE

Don't see me so up leh.Remember I was once and still a cheapskate doc who will relentlessly show forum my humble collection to share my care and maybe this time round to test my skills against the BIG GUNS and the true professionals.Perhaps I maybe abit naive to show my potential weapons while others choose to hide in their armoury.Well it remains to be seen who will make it to the final selection.It is still too early to ponder .15 fishes are just too great a flattering number for poor me to carry the workload.For now I think I will keep mulm about my participation

[goldrush]

Well it seems like pre event discussion seems to be abit quiet,I thought of giving some GOLDFISH FOOD FOR THOUGHTS this morning and hope you will CHEW on them and try to DIGEST them.Hope that you find them inspirational for your soul and mind


Here's one lengthy pep talk........

It’s the goldfish competition again
And you’ve already won
The competition lasts but only for a moment
Though the grooming has taken months
It wasn’t the winning alone
That was worth the work and tears
The applause will soon be forgotten
The prize will be misplaced and gather dust
But the long hard hours of effort and dedication
Will never be a waste
For in trying to win you build a skill
You learn that winning depends on will
You never grow by how much you win
You only grow by how much you put in
So any challenge you’ve just begun
Put forth your best effort in this coming competition

This one is my most beloved GOLDFISH MANTRA

When you want to win a goldfish competition you got to teach.When you lose in one you got to learn.




This one always bring out the best in goldfish but never human




Goldfish competition often brings out the best in goldfish but the worst in people




This is how I should win in any goldfish competition


The key towards winning any fish competition is to show its strength and try to hide its weakness



Size does not matters!....that's what they say



It's not the size of the goldfish in the fight...it's the size of the fight in the goldfish numbers that matters.


LEARN TO BE HUMBLE



Goldfish winners build on mistakes. Losers dwell on them.


In order to win with dignity, one must learn to win with humility




AND FINALLY IF YOU ASK ME WHAT'S MY GOAL FOR THIS COMPETITION,HERE'S GOLDRUSH'S AIM



"I'm not in this goldfish competition with anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my last performance(that was a fifth place in VRC competition 2007)








GOLDRUSH

Hi Doc,

Beijing has bird-nest and Singapore has durian (the Esplanade)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I like the last one the best. It shows how humble you are and you know your enemies to win the battle

William

Haha very good strategy. No need to think so much on the colour patterns.
