Yeah the drought...Originally posted by Rhonda:Sad but true.
I mean, look at our resident Polar Bear here... whole day for the past few years keep talking about Mrs Bear but never did anything concrete towards that goal, so have lost a few productive years, never reproduce baby polar bears to help sustain the population. How not to face extinction?!
Anyways, seriously speaking, they are losing their habitat too fast because the climatic changes have resulted in the ice caps melting faster and earlier than before. These poor bears have to swim longer distances out into the sea to catch their prey, and most of them end up too tired to swim back to the ice caps, so they drown.
It's not just their habitat that's fast disappearing... their sources of food are getting depleted too!
Went there I only realised how bad it is... -
ALAMAK!! Sorry, sbst! I was talking about the salah kinda bear!
Yeah, the koalas are facing extinction. Every year, huge forest fires wipe out large numbers of them cause they are too slow to escape the fires.
There was a koala shelter set up this year to rescue the chao-dar aka burnt koalas. It was like a Koala Burns Ward. The poor buggers looked so sorry with singed fur and bandaged paws and all.
Too bad the Koala Hospital is too far away otherwise I'd love to volunteer there too. -

It depends on which stage of water restrictions you're talking about.Originally posted by sbst275:Now I know what the water restriction means
- No washing of car
- No watering of plants
- No bathing using tubs or spa at home
Whoever said 'no watering of plants'? You can water, but with restrictions on which days, and how you water them. We're at Stage 3A now. I think once we reach Stage 4, then sorry, the gardens will not be watered at all. -

If they could speak, it would be comical to hear what they're saying!
"Ah ma!! Faster! Walk faster! I want to get out of my wet suit!"
"Zhe bian! Zhou Zhe Bian, bu shi na bian!"
"Should I head home? I don't really wanna face my wife! And I've left my mistress back at sea!" -

Hopefully the penguin and koala would still survive -

Sadly, the Big Dry is bringing all manner of thirsty creatures out of the bushlands and into the suburbs. Snakes have been driven by thirst to encroach on suburban neighbourhoods. -
Anyway I did read on the newspaper over there that they're talking abt recycled water projects in particular at QSL...
They're getting PUB fellows to help them -

Singapore is really efficient. I mean, after coming here and almost tor huek (vomit blood) a few times because of how blardy slow things function around here, I've come to appreciate what we have back home.Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway I did read on the newspaper over there that they're talking abt recycled water projects in particular at QSL...

I just wish Singapore was much larger. If only we could sustain a substantially larger population, then we will really be a heavyweight in the international arena. As it comes, we have efficient, world-class systems in place, but sadly, we do not have the sizeable population to pack a real punch and make a real impression on the world stage.
I read in a book that our GDP is comparable to Australia's. For a tiny red dot on the map, that's a huge accomplishment, and something we ought to be proud of! -
The view from where I'm sitting at the moment:

Small but we have many of the 'big'... In terms of oil refinery, oil rigs production and so on..
Oh yeah... I did hear that Qantas is quite 'cat' abt excess baggage? -
Actually, how many countries did our HDB help? I was stunned to see apartment blocks resembling our HDB blocks in a Korean drama recently!
