Brainteasers: 7th Feb Giveaway


The satisfaction of giving can only be experienced, not explained. Like drugs, they can be addictive.

—— Dickson Idlier

I have been supporting the 'Filiporean Project' for a while. I have done this close to 10 times already. Useful stuff that I found in the dumpster could be used by people who need them.

This is the recent collection on 7 February 2021 from another group of ladies from Marjorie's team. Ivy is the leader. As usual, I would pack most of the stuff I am giving into plastic boxes (I also dumpster dives these). Then placed them in my dining room as this is the only spare space in my flat for this activity.

Stuff that I have collected mainly from dumpster diving for a few months and donors.

The ladies came after 1 pm as there were some hiccups on the people coming over. So left 3 instead of 5 ladies. I am glad this group came as they took all my stuff so I don't have to throw any away. It only took about 1.5 hours to pack my stuff into their bags. Very fast.

These ladies seem eager to packed the stuff I have into their boxes so they can ship it back to their hometown.

This concludes my 7 Feb giveaway post.

Book Summary: The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jason Fung & Jimmy Moore

This is a book that I have read and feels that it is one of the books to keep for reference or at least read once, on the topic of maintaining your health. You might be wondering, why fasting has got to do with your health? Read on... I would be summarizing based on chapters but I will focus on the main chapters as some chapters are not so important but if you are interested to read on them, please borrow the book from the National Library.  INTRODUCTION Dr. Jason Fung , a who is a Toronto based Nephrologist (kidney specialist) but he is known for his treatment using fasting method for obesity and type 2 diabetes. In 2012, he established the Intensive Dietary Management Program (IDM), which uniquely focus on diet as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The underlying cause of obesity turns out to be a hormonal, rather than a caloric, imbalance. Excessively and persistently high insulin levels result inexorably in obesity. Insulin certainly lower...

@Lifestyle: My Reasons Becoming A Partial-Freegan

  Reject mindless consumerism I chanced upon freeganism when reviewing my investments. I just left my stressful job (details in another post ). I dreamed to retire from work by age 45 but had no concrete plans then. I felt freeganism is a path to fulfil my early retirement dream. The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined the "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism impress me. I started dumpster diving and managed to rescue mostly merchandise and occasionally food. I spend money on bills, insurance premiums and food. Below are my reasons for becoming a partial-freegan: Sick of work.  Mainly due to office politics, backstabbing, lack of job satisfaction and Information Technology (IT) industry are always fire-fighting. Felt physically and mentally tired. Low pay jobs have their stress and problems. Want to quit working for money forever.  No idea why I earn money....
