  Middle-class family in Shanghai dealing with lockdown (Chinese video)
Posted by: Limfamily - 17-04-2022, 11:23 AM - Forum: Chit Chat - Replies (3)



Some key points that I noted:

  • This family has to rely on some kind of group buy programme with other residents in the same building for food
  • The food is delivered to their doorstep by volunteers since it's very inconvenient to leave home
  • Looks like the residents take turns becoming volunteers to deliver food
  • Regular online shopping is impossible since everything is sold out
  • Price of one head of Chinese cabbage is roughly SGD21 (!!!)

Not trying to scare anyone or anything...but we shouldn't take things for granted yah.

  Has anyone grown their own ecosphere or terrarium here?
Posted by: MooMooBird - 24-03-2022, 05:57 PM - Forum: Pets, Animals, and Plants - Replies (9)

I've been looking at ecospheres/terrarium videos quite a bit recently because they're relaxing and just so interesting to watch. Just wondering if any of you have built or grown your own?



This video shows an ecosphere that seems easy to set up. Just grab some seawater and plants and hope something grows. I guess the guy was lucky enough to catch a baby crab which grew quite big.



And then you have the more pro guys who can build mini forests with mist. Amazing.

Just wondering if there are any here in Jurong West. Can share more pics and vids if you don't mind. Big Smile

  Animals and nature videos/pics (not cute or funny)
Posted by: vince95 - 12-03-2022, 11:26 PM - Forum: Pets, Animals, and Plants - Replies (38)

i saw this amazing video of a gigantic crocodile eating a SHARK in Australia and I want to share it with you guys. its obviously not cute or funny so it does not really fit into the "Sharing cute and funny videos of animals" thread, so im starting a new one for people who like wildlife documentaries and such.

if you decide to post anything thats especially bloody or violent, do provide a warning.

No surprise to see chicken rice, nasi lemak, and prata at the top. But I'm surprised to see fishball soup so high. Also surprised that cheng tng and frog porridge so low.

Your thoughts?

  Mysterious. A rock that imprisoned a legendary Japanese demon has cracked open.
Posted by: totoro08 - 08-03-2022, 03:21 PM - Forum: Chit Chat - Replies (3)

Yes I know it's a weird story but I found it interesting.

It all started when a Japanese Twitter user @Lily0727K discovered that the rock that was said that imprison a demon spirit has cracked open. According to the legend, the demon's release will mean tragedy for the world. Shocked

Below is how the rock looked before cracking open.

  Helping parents reduce their children's screen time
Posted by: berry_good - 07-03-2022, 04:22 PM - Forum: Family and Education - Replies (8)

Some of the recommendations include:

  • No screen time (e.g. tablets, phones, computers) 30 minutes before bed
  • Absolutely no screen time for infants below 18 months old
  • Less than one hour of screen time per day for children above 18 months old
  • Avoid screen time during meals


From https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/h...-schoolers. Also refer to https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/p...e-exposure.

Personally I think this is good advice, but it's quite difficult for many parents like me who have to work and take care of children at the same time. Sometimes I don't know what else I can do to keep the children occupied so I just turn on the iPad for them to use. 

For many of us, giving the kids a tablet solves a problem in the short term but may cause long term problems that we aren't aware of. So it's good that there is more attention given to this topic. 

Any parents with advice on managing screen time for children, please share! Smile

  The T Project is raising funds. Will you help?
Posted by: arthur - 06-03-2022, 03:40 AM - Forum: Chit Chat - Replies (3)

The T Project is a social service that’s been supporting local transgender individuals for the last 8 years. They provide temporary shelter for homeless transgender individuals, which gives them some precious stability as they regain their independence.

The organisation also distributes food rations to non-resident transgender individuals.

In recognition of The T Project’s work, Minister Shanmugam and Minister Sun Xueling have visited the shelter.

I’ve previously worked with their founder, June Chua (you can see her in the photos above), and I know she runs an honest social service. In other words, I’m confident that your donations will go directly towards the food, shelter, and other forms of support for the transgender individuals in need.

The T Project is looking to raise $20,000 so they can continue their good work. They’ve already made nice progress towards that goal but let’s do our part to move them even closer to their target.

Make your contribution on their Give.asia page. 100% of your donation goes straight to The T Project; Give.asia doesn’t collect any platform fees. Any amount you give will go a long way.

To find out more about The T Project, you may visit their website. If you have any questions, feel free to post here and I’ll invite June and her team to personally answer them.
