Story : 1st come 1st serve ????

This story happens to myself where a so call "Friend" turn into enemy ! WTF

Last night, arcade was crowded with people , there are boys/girls playing @ the animal kaiser machines with their parents. I was there too and i notice among the crowd , there were 3 "expert" regulars fisherman /fisherwoman. 2 uncles and 1 big sister (she don't like people to call her aunty...) Both the uncles (Mr. N & Mr. G) i also known them and can consider as friends. All of them monitoring the card moments...all aiming for GOLD...but arcade is closing liao...so no more time to fish. We know that all 3 machines going to drop GOLD very soon...in evening time

Next day , i went to arcade to follow up @ evening time. All the fisherman/woman were not there. So, i grab a gold card(Bald eagle) from 1 machine. Then i went to the 2nd machine going for my 2nd gold. Take note that this is only my 2nd day of playing version 3...so i'm excited to get my 1st set completed...hence , i need the 4 Golds asap.(never think of SOL yet)

Left few credits before GWS drop, then suddenly Mr.G comeby and ask me update. Since he is friend, i told him bald eagle taken and now going for shark. He jsut stand behind me. The other machine had a boy playing...and another GOLD is coming soon...yes...real soon...but that boy occupy there. That boy do not know that GOLD is coming and he just play blindly...

Mr.G say that he already got few Gold cards and he even had Special Ops Leo , he had not organise them yet so don't know how many complete set..wow! he must have fish alot over past 2 weeks...got many rare cards...unlike me, just start playing ver 3
only..haha

My credits finished , 2nd GOLD obtained , that little boy also finished his game and he got no more coins, so he left his seat. At that instant , nobody else take that empty seat after boy left. Don't know where Mr.G go where...don't care ...faster jump seat to take over this 3rd machine...here i come ...for my 3rd gold of the day.

Suddenly, heard a angry voice from behind saying " wow...not gentleman leh...act like aunty ..." Its comment from Mr.G ! He is not happy that i take the seat before he come and give such nasty indicating that i'm greedy and kiasu like those aunty !
Oh...just now he went away to change $50 tokens ..

WTF ! I regards him as friend and this is how he treat me ?? I thought its 1st come 1st serve ?? Mr.G did not tell me he want to play this machine , he did not even tell the small boy that he will be next playing ...there is no communication to "BOOK" reserve the place next in queue...and being fast to get the place....i ganna the scolding for nothing !

"ok...you no gentleman , next time i don't give chance..." Mr.G mummied to himself but loud enough for us to hear despite the noisy environment.

I told him politely that this is my 3rd gold for version 3 ....why he wants to fight over this place where he himself already got so many GOLD rare ? Greed Over-ride sound mind ??

"Later i treat you for coffee, don't angry loh" , i say in a soft tone trying to calm him down as i feel that there is nothing wrong for me being there 1st ! I may have let him take the place if he told me earlier that he's next in place for that machine ! Who can read his mind ! I did ask the arcade staff how will they resort to customer's argument over who play 1st , the answer is base on 1st come 1st serve

"I wouldn't dare deserve to accept your coffee" He replied in dialect in a rude manner




Recalling few months ago....during version 2 launch....early 2nd week

MrG just return from his family holiday to korea and he had no idea how to fish for the new version 2. That time i had the sequence listing and gladly share with him everything. I treat him as a friend. Even shown to him the machine " Deck A - red scorpion" Mr.G want to play ...i let him since this is his very 1st Gold for ver 2.
I know the next machine also going to have red scorpion coming soon.(later part of the day) Before i know it , Mr. G was at that machine fishing for the Gold as he aleady got all my sequence information for FREE. I question him....how can he take red scorpion again after taking the 1st one earlier , he mention he wants to keep 2 set. Never mind, the 3rd machine going to drop red scorpion the next day around 4pm.
I told Mr. G that i am going for that GOLD next day , since now he already got 2 red scorpion.

So next day after work, i quickly rush over and was surprise to see Mr.G playing that machine going to fish red scorpion !! This time cannot tahan, go question him and he told me that this gold is for his nephew !!

since i treat him as my friend, i also don't want to quarrel ...because we still obey the basic rules : 1st come 1st serve. He get there 1st ,so he win.


I regret for helping him by giving him the sequence free and yet now he is so ungrateful. He only know how to take but do not want share. When version 2 sequence changes during the 2nd shipment lots 2 months later, i am sad and yet Happy. Sad is that its really not easy to have those sequence ...and now suddenly change....happy is that at least now Mr.G cannot enjoy his free luch anymore...go earn yourself !



Back to present...

"People make lots of new friends from playing animal kaisers...but unlike you ...making more enemy !" Mr.G comment straight to me not showing any respect. I bear with the insult and does not quarrel with him @ the arcade place. I even offer him to sit down and play the machine...but he refuse. I sit down with my bagful loads of tokens and sapu another silver swift blow strong card before i left the arcade. It's Mr.G loss for not taking my offer for this card (why should i tell you what card is coming next ...i regret telling him that i got the 2 gold ..i am so stupid for trusting a wrong man)



I know he is a teacher in one of the good school. Yes , he look gentle and appear to be a nice guy wearing spec...but look can be deceving...all the behavouir come from the urgly heart , for betraying his friend again and again. I regrets knowing this guy and i regrets selling him a friendship special price all the nice promotion cards. I really regrets giving him the sequnce where he does not even appreciate it. Mr. G, i know you are reading my blog , but sorry to say, we are no longer friend. Enough is enough , don't keep taking me as a FOOL , we do not owe you anything for such a bad heart. Former acarde aunty staffs (who had resigned) once reminded me to be careful mixing with you as they mention you got a Good look but a BAD heart. I do not understand that time what you have done, but now i fully understand the meaning

Animal kaiser is a fun game for the family , not for fighting/scolding over cards due to human greed , we really can observe different type of human behaviours over the card collection process. This incident made me wiser ...to open my eye wider...for choosing a trueful friendship that can last. ...i still have many friends get to known from animal kaiser gaming. Peace off !

Note: Please do not ask me who is this Mr.G. I know his full name , which school he teaching , which block (sembawang) he stay and even have his contact number (HP). But , for the very last respect ...i shall not disclose them here ,just wanna share the story for awareness only. Thank you for taking your precious time reading my bad experience, its indeed a great lesson for learning human behaviour !


"if the seq get from ur friend (FOC)...and not bu urself.. is better to ask his/her permission before u giving out the seq to others…
shd practise this way.... ppl give u the seq for free....mean tat he/she treated u as friend/buddy… "

  1. Animal Kaiser is mean primary for the entertainment of children. Despite having a collector's value, everyone (however big or small) should be given a chance to acquire ONE set of the cards. To sit in front of the machine and gathering more foil cards to sell should not be encourage! If you have acquire your full set, move on and allow others a chance to get theirs. What is the point of getting the card and place exorbitant prices on eBay or go round peddling for for sale at arcades trying to make a quick buck on the 'unfortunates'? Look around you when you the next time you are 'fishing' for cards. The child next to you just want to have fun and if possible, own the gold cards that you so desire. You need the card for your collection? Well and good but do spare a thought to the little ones, once you have gotten yours.
