last time my mum (we stayed in kampong) when she see cat;

1. she closed all doors and windows.
2. she boil hot water
3. she pour the hot water on the cat.

the cat need to learn la.

:thankyou:
How many cats did your mom kill that way ?

Did she manage to sleep well at nite ? Heard a cat has 9 lives..

What do you guys want the cats to learn (by pouring hot water on them) ?

Think the ones who need to learn loads are you guys, not the cats..

What, boil hot water and pour on the cats ???!!!! That's a very inhuman act. I am appalled to read this. Agreed, it's \"these people\" who need to learn, not those poor cats.

Whoa! Is it real? Your mum did that? :faint:

Hope this is no longer happening in the modern day SG.... if can't keep or hate the cat, please pass it to SPCA... Much appreciated! :thankyou:

Hi...

I want to seek advice.... regarding how to stop a family of 'copy cats'!

You see, my DD takes a sport and got to know her friend... after some time, we noticed that her friend/family has been copying her/us in some form or manner... such as:
- DD has a colored shoelace... after a few days... DD's friend has a different colored shoelace
- DD has a colored item for her sports equipment... after a few days/weeks... DD's friend has a different colored item for her same sports equipment
- DH offers to send trainer home.... soon... DD's friend's dad offers to do the same for the same trainer
- DD joins in any competition or training.... DD's friend will be there too
- DD attends 4x training... DD's friend attends 5x training (cos her friends always want to be better than her!)
- DD says she wants to aim for a certain secondary school... DD's friend says she aims for the same
- DD's friend also told us that her mom even noticed what color t-shirts we wear on competition days! :nailbite:

I know I cannot stop the family of copy cats, but this is really distasteful and irritating to the max!

Is there anything I can do? I need well-meaning advice.

Thank you.

Why do you feel disturbed? You don't like ur DD's friend?

Wa I know how you feel man. My cousin copies everything I buy. From clothes, bags and accessories, to makeup, to choice of mineral water. I get super frustrated, best part is like when I saw the same stuffs she buys, I will asked her:"eh this thing very familiar, you also have ah!" She will be like, :"Oh, I bought it long time ago". First of all she didn’t credit, secondly, she makes it like I’m copying her. Ultimate!

Some ways to tackle, I would say if you don’t want to hurt the relationship, j

Avoidance. Juust hide it from her everything that you buy. but you can’t runaway forever.

Ignorance. Which is what I choose to. Its their money, their choice, I let them do what they want but I know I always look better and more glamorous. I believe as long as your DD is happy, she has her own character and traits, ignore what others are doing. human compete human, you get super angry.

Confrontation. Tell her straight in her face. I dont actually have the guts to do it, as I mean I know she dont mean any harm.

Sacarsm. Sometimes I use this method. "wa you have A, wa, you also have B, wa… everything I have you also have." they sometimes get it but need to sharp and hit the points.

Think he meant 'Piratey' as an Adjective.. Meaning 'pirate-like'..

For instance.. \"That beard is rather piratey\"...

No... They r not PRCs! Unfortunately they r my own kind - Singaporeans!

She is actually stalking you - quite scary, giving you undue stress.
Just tell her straight that u don't want her to copycat u, or u don't want her child to compete with your child.

Is her child & yr child in the same class? If yes, transfer class.

I don't see how this would work... Style is not copyrightable, everybody copy from somebody, no? Whatever we wear, some one else's wear too.... unless one orders special made haute couture. :evil:
Whatever school/sports/coach/tutor we aim/enroll/engage, someone else is doing just exactly the same.... How to use \"I am being copied\" as an valid reason to ask for transfer? If got evidence of stalking, should go to police to make a report.

Like many forummers' advice, just grin and ignore lor.... take it as an ultimate compliment.
