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.

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...

BrainTeasers: Better To Live Cheap Under Budget, Than Live Luxuriously In Debt

Desire for a better life gets us more entrapped in the web of desires to overspend. Only by cutting away these threads of desires can we free ourselves and live a less stressful and more rewarding life by spending below our means.  ——  Dickson Idlier There are two ways to live life: 1. Live in a way that we spend less than we make. 2. Live in a way that spends more than we make. Spending exactly as you make does not happen as emergencies happen all the time, so is still in the second group. People would rationally choose spending less than we make but most don't.  In our civilized society, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements promising a better life than you have... if and only if, you are willing to spend to get it. This is so ingrained in our subconscious, from the moment we become sensible, we subtly and unintentionally fall into this trap. Increased income doesn't quench our desires. Offers for better life grow with our income... nicer cars, bigger houses, ...
