  1. Here’s to organising what everybody said cannot be organised.

    We are also auditioning the kind of music, dancing, busking and festival activities to complement the bazaar.

    It is a sort of trial run and full dress rehearsal. The least you can do to support the effort is to come, feast out on good food and have a great time.

    EO is Shirley Wong, our SHC member. The HOT, HOT Dog girl. (PS she’s looking for syndicated funding and IPO for her hot dog stand.)

  2. Saw Andrew yesterday at Scorebot.

    Asked him again whether he would help to organize the flea market. Said “No” in so many words…

    Don’t worry.

    Just his style. Wayang-wayang Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang refused three pleadings from Liu Bei before agreeing to be chief advisor.

    Actually, I’ll be seriously worried if he had turned around and said “Yes”. I won’t be able to sleep wondering what went gone wrong.

    Now we know for sure that everything’s running good.

    Hee-hee.

  3. Dear KT

    Thank you for honoring another title, this time, Chinese sage and well-known advisor,??, am flattered.

    Conferred with five global renowned professional fellowships is more than suffice – am very very very grateful, contented, satisfied and happy already.

    1) I said one “no” yesterday to you when you asked again. Was at Scorebot to hear Marcus’ explanations of the ATM parameters.

    2) As mentioned in the other thread on flea market pictures of 1 May 2008, I had shared three different perspectives with 3 essential factors/key success factors in each perspective.

    Total, nine key essential elements for your mammoth flea market project, so more than 3 visits of Liu Bei.

    To be successful in such a huge national project, a prominent prime mover’s endorsement/approval is important to get things moving. He/she is usually a M or his consort for p milege.

    2) KT, since I have shared 9 key essentials, it is more than the 3 visits that Liu Pei had to the village of Zhuge Liang, so is grace three times overflow.

    3) Hope don’t need to sing and play harp to Chou Yu and then visit him when he was resting in eternal peace.

    Once again, thank you for flattering accolades.

    All the best to your flea market dream/plans.

    Peace be with you.

    Warmest regards

  4. Hi KT,

    This Post looks like a huge banner.

    Please organise the registration yourself, not by ScoreBot. No promotion of external persons, if you are not organising this program.

    Terence Seah

  5. Also, once again thank you for your yesterday’s invite to the BBQ nite.

    Regrets that we are having our Mandarin/bi-lingual fellowship on the same evening.

  6. Ter @ #4

    It looks like it requires a team effort to build up to the next flea market project and beyond.

    We don’t have enough critical mass to take off purely from SHC. It will have to be opened to outside parties. The BBQ is a way to recuit vendors, promoters and professionals for a proposed flea market. It is like a road show – cum- showroom. This is always generally how it is done. Note that many of the particpants of the BBQ are potential participants, vendors and/or promoters.

    The project is too big unless cheng-kay wants to take it all the way. Otherwise, conducting a series of paid public affairs is the best, self-sustaining method to build up the event.

    We have to start somewhere. Are you going to call for a meeting? We can make it on the same BBQ nite.

    You have seen A’s reply. I don’t take it as a no. It’s more likr a “look and see”. Someone has to take the initiative or the first step.

    This is not to say that the participation from SHC will not eventually be significant. But members here tend to watch and see it succeed before joining in. Rather than arguing “chicken or egg”, let’s just do it. If we cross the milestones, we proceed. Otherwise,we close this chapter.

    IMO, sooner or later this “opening” up is inevitable if we agree to grow into serious and meaningful projects other than those currently running in-house.

  7. Dear KT

    A definite no from me lah!

    As I shared before : have managed and led many projects of all sizes, know the 9 key critical success factors for mammoth flea market.

    Lily Ho’s idea is doable, try that, rope her in !

    Cheers,

  8. Hi KT #6,

    I prefer to go along the lines of you taking the lead. You can call a meeting if there are interested SHC members to join you. I believe there will be participation from the club. Reason is I personally prefer to start on a smaller scale, and overtime SilverHairsClub members get to experience the concept of a Flea mart. And, we build from there. As the club is small, I prefer to work behind an organisation or business which will take care of most of the formalities and legalities. SilverHairsClub is not registered, and we do not have a management or committee to run such events.

    However, I see if you a larger and workable vision. I am always concern with resources and formalities. As you have the vision and the links, I think it is wiser you move on with a large public scale, and some of us from the club will definitely join you. You are right that most of us prefer to participate than to organise the event, because organising a flea mart requires extensive work.

    Don’t get me wrong,
    I encourage you to grow the flea mart to what you envisage. So, go ahead.

    Terence Seah

  10. Ter @ #8

    Rightho

    We’ll just go right in where angels fear to tread. Start counting down from 9.

    So here I am and there you are. So guys and girls, this is your lifetime opportunity to fire your boss by new year if you are working. If not, you can now afford the lifestyle that you richly deserve.

    Get organize now while you still have your original set of teeth in your head. Join the flea market networking nite and get started.

    Your next million journey must start with $1. Possibly the next $1 you make from your Home Entrepreneurship.

  11. Everyone watches in glee

    But to organise it, everyone says “not free”

    Some start to flee

    Some pretend to be busier than the bees

    So what’s the “IT” that scares the shit?

    It’s called a Flea Mart yet not even 1 flea

    Born with a wrong name it’s destined to be an end game.

  15. Mary & Steven, thanks. At the moment the best i can do is to put you both side by side in print but rest assured, atop my wish list is to put you 2 together even if it’s for a day (which includes a nite which you both can make it romantic of cos). As I am nearing gourd with each passing day, that shd happen quite soon, yeah?

    Isnt it nice to add another pair to Janet & Liu, RonL & Alice, Robert & Kristy, Philip & Priscilla?

    Not forgetting KT & DennisHar………………hahaha.

  16. Eh Tim Liu, mind what you say ok? Why are you linking my name with Steven? Chia pah ka eng ah?
    I enjoy being as I am, happily single, unless a prince comes along who can make me lagi happy and I don’t mean a frog prince.;-)

  17. Hi Tim Tim,

    What are you linking my name to Mary C ?

    Chak pau bo kong cho! translated literally
    Eat full nothing better to do.

    I too am happy and still waiting for my
    ” Cindrella ” to appear. One who has the right chemistry and compatiblity …unless a princess comes along who can bring me to heaven and I don’t mean a frog princess .;-)

  18. Mary & Steven but lady first….

    Heee, Mary, surely you cant forget the sermons one of which reads like this “Be one quality person : cultured and proper with lots of energy, substance, meaning and clean fun.” (sic).

    Steven has become one and so the good deserves the company of the good, a logical extension of the wise saying.

    And Steven I can tell you, Mary is a charm.

    Seriously, I am beginning to enjoy Steven, the way he is. Often without knowing it, he gets himself entangled but once he realises it, he isnt tardy to say his regrets. That makes him a charm too.

    A charm with a charm shdnt raise any alarm, yeah?

  20. Dear KT

    Look forward to your positive development in the flea market.

    Wish you and your team great success and welcoming fruits.

    See you on Saturday, 31 May 2008 at 6:45pm at The Aljunied MRT station for the Durian and serendipity Trail.

    Look forward to your demonstration of picking quality durian skills. Believe you would not disappoint us.

    Warmest regards

  22. KT

    All the best with your dream of a manageable flea market size.

    Hope you are able to walk your talk this time : demonstrating your durian choosing skills without fail / excuse.

    Warmest regards

  23. Hi KT

    If you disappoint this time, I would never take your words seriously any more, especially it is a 6-week notice.

    Cheers,

  25. Very Good, KT.

    See you at The Aljunied MRT station on 31 May 2008, 6:45pm for our 1st Durian and Serendipity Trail.

    You are appointed as the chief (??? zhi2 niu2 er3- occupying a leading position)durian selector / advisor.

    Wish you luck and also look forward to your share of winnings (????fen1 yi4 bei1 geng1 – sharing benefits) on 31 May 2008.

    Warmest regards

  26. Tim @ #11

    So poet also… good

    The winds of change is in the air. The flea market is not just an event. It is a milestone for SHC evolution. It is the collective conciousness of who we are, what we want to be and where do we go from here.

    Not only we will watch. By Sunday’s ST, the rest of the world will sit up and watch too.

    Question is what.

  27. KT, so you hv abandoned the bali lane fleas, take up a bigger challenge and now going to macao to try fleece Stanly huh? I believe “png arh goi” (broken tooth stallion) of 14K hasbeen freed and you’ll hv to cross that hurdle first b4 you make fleas out of Lisboa.

    Btw, seems like you’re featured in Sunday’s ST article ? With bated breath I shall wait to read it, saving my bad breath for you if you hv said smthg which might betray the D Lama.

  28. Hi Wong KT,

    …..I will find INNOVATIVE ways to get 500 to 1000 vendors from outside sources besides SHC to attract customers at Bali Lane.

    SHCians would look forward and CONGRATULATE you if you could easily ROUND up 500 to 1000 Vendors for our next 3rd. SHC FLEECE cum Carnival Market.

    KT, Strive Harder to make your DREAM turn to REALITY ! We SALUTE you .

  29. All of you can help too. You and your friends can come and participate in the May BBQ
    Flea Market & Networking Nite on Friday, 23rd May, 2008 at Scorebot.

    It is open to public. It is vendor meeting as well as a shopping experience for others. It is not just retail. We will have talks and demos for the items on display.

    Althhough it is the objective, we will build the market step by step into the large event.

    This will be the first of a series of such mini events which should feature a increasing crowd of flea marketrepreneurs and a growing flea market. We will promote the location, establish a strong merchandising strategy, optimize a product and vendor mix.

    Let members of public get use to the idea of Bali Lane as a place where they can find an exciting flea market with a difference.

  30. Tim @ #27

    Bursting Stanley is no problem. He’s already bursted by the Vegas gang.

    On the contrary. This is a working flea market trip as well. See the latest Asian market scene development in conjunction with the glitz of casino town. This will be a precursor of things to come in Spore’s IR city.

    I may recruit talent, vendor and participation. Let’s see what I can find there.

    Ask Ter who was there recently? He was so busy doing his busy business that he was too busy to pay attention to other than his busy thing.

    You just can’t get good help nowadays….

  31. KT

    Just come home from the 2-hour dialogue meeting at my estate’s Jasmine Room with MOT Minister.

    You missed to have a request for an e/a for your flea market.

    Cheers,

  36. Mao Tze Tung had viewed/watched the Water Margin 17 times, KT.

    How many times KT has read and comprehended The Prince (written about 600 years ago) by Niccolo Machiavelli, and The Modern Prince written by a US professor in 2003 ?

    I have watched/listened The Sound of Music at least 9 times and watched Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserable at least thrice. Each time gives deeper appreciation and new added meaning.

    Read and search deeper into #3, you will find true pearl(s), not fish eye.

    Warmest regards

  38. A @ #36

    Remarkable. Sound X 9; Phantom & Miserables X 3 is more impressive than Mao’s Water Margin. Compared to the Long March; you should be going for a triathlon marathon. Same distance as marathon X 3 in 3 ways.

    Equally remarkable you can actually remember the no of times you’ve watched your repeats or LD. You make millions in prize money participating in TV Trivia contests. Like “Deal or No Deal”

    So what’s the real lesson learned from the moral of the story.

  39. Three things, KT :

    1) Live a focus, meaningful and purposeful life with increasing measure the fruit (9 portions) of the Spirit daily.

    2) Connect, engage and relate with good and excellent people and friends. Learn new things daily. Forgive oneself and others to stay strong, fit and healthy. Love one’s family and people.

    Forgive bad ones, stay at a distance from ugly types, ignore and avoid all obnoxious and toxic kinds.

    3) Continue to grow, discard irrelevant and unhelpful things, develop and grow new areas and habits. Remain faithful and fruitful always.

    b) Stay humble, helpful, useful, healthy in all five aspects, think and mediate the goodness of the beautiful things the Creator has provided.

    c) Always be attentive, grateful, obedient to decrees/constitution, diligent, remain orderly; and thankful for a each passing day for good and excellent fellowship and friendship.

    Have a healthy dose of love, faith and hope daily.

    Warmest regards

  41. KT,

    I love and enjoy live musicals.

    The last time, I enjoyed Joseph and the multi-colored coat at Oxford and Cats in London.

    Am reading again ” Finding Favour with the King” – preparing for your moment in His Presence by Tommy Tenney.

    Likely to watch “Romance of the 3 Kingdoms” soon in preparation for my Mandarin exams in September.

    Cheers,

  42. A @ #39

    I am amazed.

    How did you pack so many morals from a relatively simple musical. You seem to read much more in the one musical “Sound of Music” than all the critics and commentators in the industry.

    Is this your stock reply for yur own personal moral code. If it is about the movie, can you indicate the instances which illustrate your point in the musical in question?

    Good movies characterize flawed and fallen heroes. Sound of Music is no less. Only comic book heroes display black and white ethical distinctions.

    Let’s take it in a modern critical perspective.

    Maria (Julie Andrews) left the convent, a vow of poverty and God to work for money as a babysitter. She promptly seduced and fell in love with her employer. It’s like your Filipino maid eloping with your fiance. Later, she goes on to put the entire convent which raised her like a daughter under the threat of annihilation by the Nazis in one selfish move to save her new found family. Then she was quick to leave the convent to face the music when she fled to Switzerland to safety with her new and rich relatives.

    Playboy Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) betrayed the love and money of his lover – wealthy, cultivated, and lovely Baroness (Eleanor Parker) for the house help. He was quite happy to hang around in times of peace as a war hero. When war really came, he decided he hated his boss. To escape national service, he took what money he has (he has little but what he could sponge off from the Baroness, he took) and fled the country.

    Christopher exhibit less duplicity and moral inconsistency in his other Hollywood roles as Dracula.

    Did you watch the wrong movie 9 times ?

  43. KT,

    You limit yourself. Learn all great lessons from various musicals and wise historical events.

    I treasure excellent and good lessons, pay attention to what are bad, ugly and obnoxious/toxic.

    How many worthy lessons about true humility did you learn from Da Chang Jin (???); and key lessons from the formation of Chin, Han, Yuan, Ming and Ching Dynasties?

    Cheers,

  45. A @ #43

    Da Chang Jin – If you like F&B, set up a cafe like Scorebot. It is safer and pays better than working for some lecherous and murderous King.

    What did you actually learn from Sound of Infidelity and Betrayal?

    Hee-hee.

  46. Heh KT

    Be careful with your prejudice(s), do not fall behind to bigoty…or worse bla……. .

    Know your facts and seek truth deeply first.

    No interest to start anything retail; my business brings in good returns of more than 15% per …..with good and beautiful people around; also can choose to be without u and obx people.

  49. Hi Andrew KYL,

    …….I love and enjoy live musicals.The last time, I enjoyed Joseph and the multi-colored coat at Oxford and Cats in London.

    To share, I too LOVE Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musicals.

    I saw Miss Saigon in London, West End. I was held so spell bound when the helicopter descended down from the ceiling of the concert hall with its loud whirling sound made by the huge blades.

    I NEVER knew that the Mak Sallehs took so much trouble to refurbish a REAL helicopter and put it to good use.

    I saw “CATS” in New York. Long Q for tickets but lucky we managed to buy 2. The whole concert hall was transformed into a cats playground with rubbish bins and “small holes” where the human cats move skilfully in and out.
    My favourite song was Memories.

    I used to listen and sometimes see my VCD on the Best Musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber and it so NICE to listen to the Phantom of the Opera, Music of the Night and was surprise that Cliff Richard can sing opera too.

    I saw the live musical of Phantom of the Opera this year at our Esplanade.The acting ,singing and choreography was SUPERB. FULL HOUSE man.

    Same with Madonna,the lingerie promoter “pop queen” who acted in Evita.I saw a huge EVITA billboard when I was with a group tour in Europe and I couldn’t believe that Madonna can sing opera ?

    I know she is so good at singing “seductive” songs such as
    ” Like A Virgin ” etc….but OPERA ? I was doubtful.

    Saw the Evita movie twice. However, I can remember this humorous moment in Johor Baru at Leisure Mall cinema. I heard one of the patrons utter these words very clearly.
    ” Apa ini? Nak mati pun boleh menyanyi ” when Madonna (Evita) sang the song ” You MUST LOVE me ”

    Some of them just walk out of the cinema as they do NOT expect so much singing in this movie mistaken that it was an “action” movie.

    Goodnight,ZZZzzzzzzzzzz

  50. Hi Andrew KYL,
    …I saw “CATS” in New York.
    However,after the musical was over, I saw a lot of rude drivers HONKING impatiently.

    I found out that on the Western side of America ,most of the people here are more impatient. However,on the Eastern side of America, San Francisco,the people here are more Warm and FRIENDLY.

    Very strange ! Same country,North America, but at different locations yield DIFFERENT ATTITUDES.

  51. NY and Washington are in the Eastern side; people there (esp NY) are in the hurry. H/e there are many cultured and well-balanced people in NY too! I had colleagues from NY/Penns; they are beautiful people.

    California and LA are in the Western part of USA.

    Not all who patronized operas and dramas are cultured, a lot are mere music fans.

    Just like not all dancers are well mannered, gracious and graceful. We can find some are chor lor and easily offended by their own prejudices and little knowledge.

    The first musical I saw in London was Beauty and The Beast and the first in Sydney was Romeo and Juliet.

  54. A @ #46

    Look like you missed the critic’s joke on the movies in question. Don’t take it personally. It was not meant that way.

    It seems like you have never watch Da Chang Jin seriously or Sound of Music through critical eyes. Have you actually watch Da Chang Jin at all?

    Anyway, looks like it is better to take the critic’s choice for the Arts elsewhere. We will leave it here for pure unquestioning entertainment.

    Don’t worry. Entertainment is good too. Stress relief and stress free. It is only the critics that struggle with the hidden symbolisms and deeper meanings.

    Be happy.

  55. Read Today today. The woes of inflation across the board is finally forcing its way into mainstream papers. Everything is up including basics – utilities, petrol and food.

    Remember the event of this thread.

    May BBQ – SHC Flea Market /Networking Nite
    Friday, 23rd May, 2008 7.00pm @ Scorebot

    This is the only serious non-profit group effort currently in SHC to help members to solve this problem through Home Entrepreneur and Virtual Office. If you do not like to “work till you die” or “alternative investments”, then this is the only way to beat your PIG (Personal Inflation Gap). Not only to maintain wealth but with a strong potential of growing wealth in tumultous times.

    Even if you cannot contribute, at least try to support the event.

  56. Hi KT

    You always have the perpetual habits of being too presumptuous.

    I watched the entire series of Da Chang Jin in 2006. Her tester failed her thrice because of “allegations of the lack of humility when answering exams questions”.

    The shocked PM reverted the tester’s decision based on pure merits and re-test. Da Chang Jin had superior medical knowledge than her tester, that was why he failed her three times. After many hardships, she was anointed the ministerial medical level, many levels above her teachers, first by the Emperor, later reconfered by the Empress who became the Empress Dowager.

    Wisely, she chose to remain outside palatial politics after her re-appointment and lived a care-free professional life.

    That was unprecedented in S Korean history for a lady; opposed ironically by the PM who re-tested her and conferred her medical Q years earlier. But the imperial family appointed her anyway based on merits, capacity and capability. That is human envy and jealousy in display !

    I read some critics (usually they are writers’ personal views) and researched the facts and then ignore/put aside personal views.

  57. KT, I like yr review – rather a critique – of Sound of Music at #42. Sadly, the obnoxious preacher who knows not what music is, is making a lot of sound when he sees nil difference btwn Mao-tzetung & a mouse tong and so fell thru the water margin and so washed down to sungei rd, heee, close enough to pose a threat to Scorebot at Bali lane.

    Gourd willing, I’ll be at Scorebot this Friday……..

  58. A @ #56

    Hmmm…

    My takeaway on Da Chang Jin is quite different. It’s not about how many times she was failed in her exams and why. Its not about the success that she achieved at the end but the journey.

    Anyway, the single most important reason why she was appointed inspite of the opposition within the royal family and government is because the king has hots for her. Her medical achievements were mainly appreciated by the common people. The royal family was too caught up with their internal feuds to really care what she did rather than whose side is she on.

    So what is the moral of the story?

    You coming to BBQ on Fri? We can discuss more.

  59. Hi KT,

    I will attend this Fri 23 May discussion at ScoreBot. My diary is clear this week, so can spend time on home entrepreneurship, Flea mart and virtual office.

    Also, a session of Korean history if TimL, AndrewK and yourself are around, closer to 1100 pm.

    I don’t remember reading what is BBQ, but are you having a BarBeque?

    Terence Seah

  60. Ter @ #59

    BBQ is short for Barbeque

    I will slot you a corner to give a talk to us on Korean History. You want some Koean costumes? A can reappraise Joseon King’s Hor-Ny role in Dae Jang Geum and see if the Jewel gets to remain in the Palace.

    Hee-hee.

    In an innovative move, Scorebot is promoting ad-hoc talks and presentation in the Social Nite event. Anyone can bring in their presentation / slides on a thumb drive and they can use our presentation equipment. (To be safe, we would appreciate if you can try to bring in your laptop this first time.)

    Small interest groups can meet in separate worshop-like settings. Different small groups can conduct simultaneous presentations, demos and discussions going at different corners. The approach is like a funfair of ideas. You can walk around and join any groups that hold your interest.

    Besides our featured talk, we hope to hold mini-sessions on eg flea market talks on Peruvian jewellery; Virtual Market & Home Entrepreneurship; SGX algo trading; Art Auction (See the Art Auction thread with Eleanor) and, now, Korean History.

  61. Tonight’s the night. May BBQ – SHC Flea Market /Networking Nite @ Scorebot, 18 Bali Lane 7pm

    In an answer to a question raised in Channel News Asia on-line forum, we explained what we are doing. It is informative for all to understand how you are helping yourself and society at large by participation.

    “Let me try to answer your questions at best.

    Well, it is not exactly pasar malam. Besides the algo trading programs and courses, we have a number of Social Enterprise programs.

    This is the other part of our Social Enterprise program to help senior citizens to be financially independent in their retirement years. In the Home Entrepreneur incubation program, Scorebot help seniors to run a global home business (on-line and physical) with no-money-down. Scorebot will take care of everything from providing office space, logistics, production, consignment products to venture funding. We seek assistance and co-operation in kind and services from well-meaning folks, agencies and non-profit groups including charities.

    We don’t believe in hand-outs. We believe in helping people to stand on their own feet with dignity and self-respect.

    Anybody including yourself can join the program. Senior citizens and the disadvantaged can participate at subsidized rates. Scorebot tries its best through our educational courses to support the Social Entreprise programs financially for now. We hope that each program can be self-sustaining later.

    BTW. to-date, the entire management of Scorebot do not draw a single salary. We have been doing this from our own pocket, and on our own time and effort. We see this noble enterprise as our contribution to society.

    Come down to tonight’s BBQ / Social Nite and find out more from people who are already helping out. You can do your part for society too. Participate in our programs for yur own benefit. Know that you are also helping others at the same time.”

  62. KT, I will be there but after my dinner with some stallions & mares to do my part for secret society (almost quoting you)…………….

  64. Hi KT at # 58

    What the 5 lessons (morals) you learned from Da Chang Jin’s life journey : character, consistency, learning capacity, overcoming abilities, integrity and living out fruit (9) of The Spirit?

    For me, besides above (5 plus 9), the knowledge and understanding of how individual(s)defines humility under differing circumstances. Her teacher and tester defined “humility” in his jealous and envious nature.

    Like to share a) lessons and wisdom from the series, b) what re the practical and implementable takeaways from your talk/event of Friday, 23 May 2008?

    Regards,

  65. Hi KT at #64 (addenda) to lst line.

    What are the 5 key lessons you like to share from the Da Chang Jin life journey series……

  66. Ron @ #63

    In terms of the BBQ event planned, it went well. We had informal mini-talks on various subjects from flea market, public presentation to art auction. We plan to hold more such events on a regular basis.

    The reception to the Social Enterprise is half-half. It’s all social and very little enterprise. I am not sure if its just SHC culture or Sporea as a whole. But I don’t intend to write a thesis. I will follow the Flow. Right now we will just emphasize the social component if that’s what everyone wnats and reserve the real bullets elsewhere.

    See my perceptions on a fact finding trip to Macao, China, and HK/Kowloon.

    The strong impression that I get is that people in Greater China territories will lap up the type of business enterprises like the no-money-down Home Entrepreneur / Virtual Office cum flea market programs that we are running. Many are already betting everything they own to run small business of one kind or another without any external help. So these programs are heaven-sent by comparison.

    Here, free also must think and think. Perphaps too much of a square peg into a round hole.

    Que sera, sera.

    I plan to open up an operation there. I along with many peers consider ourselves as free spirited World Citizens. We are looking to empathize with the worldly wise senior community in a World City anywhere on earth.

    First come, first serve.
