BrainTeasers: Most bizarre Find


When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find.

My most bazaar find is ... a Living 11-inch Freshwater Stingray. 

My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium

The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home. 

Luckily, after the rough journey home and placing it into my 3 ft tank (without water customizing), it survived! I had to put a divider to ensure my bichir don't attack the stingray. 

My bazaar find stingray with my ex-bichir

Even though I have a 3 ft tank that can accumulate the stringray with my ex-bichir, I decided to give it away as I don't provide live food to my pets. All my pets feed on pellets. I was very selective about who I want to give the stingray to as I had to ensure the new owner can take care of it. There were many requests to take the stingray but I rejected them.  I managed to find a new owner (who keeps stingrays as pets) for my stingray from Colin Lau. It is now happily living with other stingrays and feeding well. Take care of my stingray!

By far, this is my most bazaar find and I was known for rescuing a live stingray in the freegan community in Singapore. In case anyone wants to ask me why didn't I consider EATING (-_-) it, below are my reasons:
  • IT is alive. I do not wish to kill it.
  • I am a aquarium enthusiastic, so I prefer to keep aquarium pets alive. 
  • I have eaten marine stingrays before but I have never heard of eating freshwater stingrays. I don't want to be the first.

iSAVvy: Financial Independence — The Lows

Low on cash? What have you been spending on? Image from: Photo by  cottonbro  from  Pexels Financial independence is essentially able to sustain your lifestyle with the amount of money you have without working. This is one of life’s most difficult problems everyone has and many are unable to overcome it. —— Dickson Idlier I am not a financial consultant. What I wrote here is purely my opinion. The road to my financial independence is essentially be low on debts and expenses and high in investments and assets. How to control your expenses and debts depends on what is essential to you. I prefer rejecting any instalments (debts) whenever possible and have a simple lifestyle. After these, then build up your savings, investments and assets. This is how I did without many details but I think it is the easiest to get started. Ways to keep a low debt and expenses: Food is essential but not all kinds of food. Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce eating too exp

Cheapo2Max : Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting

Image from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting If food intake is the source of all your health problems, shouldn't reducing it be better off for you? —— Dickson Idlier Intermittent fasting is is an umbrella term for various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting (or reduced calorie intake) and non-fasting over a given period. Methods of intermittent fasting include alternate-day fasting (ADF), periodic fasting, and daily time-restricted feeding. Why intermittent fasting? As food source is now more readily available to those who can afford it, such as Singapore, people now have an issue of obesity. This is due to the lifestyle, eating habits and choice of food. Since obesity is related to food, reducing intake of food is one of the natural solution to this problem. Intermittent fasting also has other benefits , such as: Weight Loss. The eating cycles allow people to control their appetite, eat less each day and track their eating habits better.
