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.

TODAY reports a rise in pet abandonment in the past 5 years

Most of these pet abandonment cases involve cats. 

I think it's partly because cats are technically not allowed as pets in HDB units, so when cat owners living in HDB get "caught" by government officers, they have little choice but to abandon the cats. So if you're thinking of getting a pet cat, please take into consideration the possibility of getting caught.

While it's true that many abandoned cats still get taken care of by cat lovers in the neighbourhood, it costs a lot of money for them to do so. Additionally, abandoned cats face the risk of getting eaten by wild dogs or pythons.

Having a pet is wonderful but just remember that it comes along with its own responsibilities and costs.

I thought some of you may be interested to see how things were like in Ukraine.

It's sad to see how many Ukrainians are forced to leave their homes. At the same time, it's also an interesting look at how human beings behave in a situation like this. Everyone is nervous but some people try to keep it light-hearted. Many people escaping with their beloved pets. People helping each other.

Is this the ultimate rich guy's problem?

Jeff Bezos wants to sail his superyacht through the Dutch city of Rotterdam. (As you can see below, it's not really a yacht anymore but a small ship.)



However, one of the bridges in the city is too low for Bezos' humble little vessel so the city is considering if it should dismantle the bridge just so Bezos can have a nice little sailing trip without obstructions.



As you can imagine, some of the regular people are not happy about this kind of privilege given to a multibillionaire and they are planning to throw eggs at the superyacht as it sails past the bridge.

But anyway, it must feel shiok to be able to request for a historic bridge to be dismantled just so you can sail oversized luxury yacht through it.

Used but in good condition, am giving them away to anyone willing to come pick them up.
First come first serve. Please msg me.

Hi everyone, 
Pls advise functional basketball court near pionner mrt. Basketball court in our area are without metal hoop . I m wondering why.

Is this a printer? No, it's an oven that costs US$1,295 for the basic set. 
If you want extras like the muffin tray or egg tray, you have to pay US$200 extra.

Okay so why is it so expensive? The company claims it's because of the unique technology that allows you to cook with light. You just need to select your food type on the touchscreen and the oven's computer will automatically select the cooking duration and the types of light to turn on to make sure your food turns out perfect.

But...that also means it's difficult to cook anything that's not in the listed food type.

Oh you need to check the progress of your food cooking? Sorry, there's no glass display. You'll need to use an app on your phone to look at your food through the oven's internal camera.

So pointless.

FairPrice has recently been in the news for inaccurately labelling their products. It all started when someone found that a packet of chicken breast was labelled as being 59g or 36% heavier than it actually is. In other words, you'd be paying 36% more for the chicken breast.




FairPrice's response wasn't great. On their Facebook page they wrote, "We advise the public not to circulate unverified claims which may cause unnecessary public alarm. We appeal to customers to contact us directly so we may address their concerns expeditiously and avoid any misunderstanding."

I believe it's the right of consumers to inform other consumers if a large corporation like NTUC FairPrice is engaging in such unfair business practices. To hear that kind of response from FairPrice was disappointing. Especially in the age of social media, such communication between consumers is expected. 

And then it happened again. This video was posted on Reddit, showing a pack of salmon that was marked up about 68% (!).

It got worse for FairPrice as Shin Min Daily News found that Cold Storage and Sheng Siong actually gave more meat than they were supposed to. English story here.

This has really damaged my trust in FairPrice. I think I'll actually take some time to weigh my meat purchases before paying.

Anyone using MVNO? Seeking advice on the most value for money MVNO service.

My PC broke down and after some troubleshooting, the main culprit is probably a faulty motherboard.

I'd like to confirm this by swapping in a working motherboard to see if it works.

If you have a spare working motherboard that I can borrow for a few hours to test my PC, please PM me or leave a reply here.

Thanks!

Update: I have already bought a new motherboard. Please disregard this post.
