Wild monkeys are breaking into Clementi homes to steal food and cause a mess, so the residents started a "Monkeys are here" chat group to warm each other about the appearance of these monkeys.

I'm just thankful we don't have to deal with this in Jurong West. 

My friend's mother is moving out of Singapore soon and she has a huge collection of high-end fashion and household items for sale.

A small sample of the items:

Swarovski necklace



Jim Thompson silk handbag with leather trimmings and handle



Shigeru SK2 piano



Click here to visit her carousell page to look through all the items. Too much stuff, especially branded fashion items, for me to list here.

If you're interested, please contact her directly through her carousell page.

Self-collection at Holland V MRT station for the smaller items.

Saw this nicely renovated HDB apartment and maybe some of you may be interested to see it too. $150K and four months to renovate.

Hope we can contain it this time.

Quote:The patient is a 42-year-old British man who works as a flight attendant. MOH said that he was in Singapore between June 15 and 17, and again on June 19 as he flew in and out of Singapore.

He tested positive for monkeypox on June 20.

He is now warded in at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and his condition is stable. Contact tracing is ongoing, MOH said.

Does anyone has recommendations for air con service?

This will mean increased food prices for at least one month here in Singapore.

Quote:KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia will stop the export of 3.6 million whole chickens a month until production and prices stabilise, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Monday (May 23).

This will start on June 1.

[...]

The moves come as the country faces a shortage of chickens along with soaring prices.

[...]

Singapore imports more than a third of its chicken supply from Malaysia. Chicken is the most widely consumed meat in Singapore, with a per capita consumption of 36kg in 2020, according to data from the Singapore Food Agency.

[...]

Poultry farmers have warned the government that sustained low ceiling prices for chicken and eggs would hurt the industry in the long run.

They said they are struggling amid the skyrocketing cost of feed due to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, which has throttled grain supplies from both countries.

Russia is also a major producer of fertiliser that is needed to grow the grain.

Hi all, I live in the block 662 area. 

One of the workers informed me today that I will need to move my potted plants so they can start work on resurfacing the floor in my corridor.
 
If your corridor floor hasn't been resurfaced yet, you may want to inform your family members and your immediate neighbours of the upcoming work, as it may take some time and effort to move all the potted plants or other objects away from your corridor.

I chose to move my potted plants to the lift area, which has already been resurfaced. But if the lift area is too congested, you may have to move some objects into your own home.

Just a heads up, hopefully this post will help ease some of the inconvenience.

Nice little story from mothership.

Quote:One Jeremy Goh posted to Facebook an encounter with an ice cream uncle at Jurong West.

Goh shared that the ice cream he bought cost S$1.20. After paying, he asked the uncle to keep the extra change.

The uncle, however, refused to accept the change, and according to Goh, even chased after him to return the money.

The uncle apparently said that this was his "principle" to making an honest living.

Instead of paying him extra, the uncle would rather Goh patronise his cart more.

According to Goh, the uncle typically stations himself around Blk 674 Jurong West St 65 or outside Boon Lay Secondary School, everyday from 2pm to 10pm.
