  he should eat more meat...
  
  dogs are by nature carnivores.. he eats too much veggies for his own good actually... don't think that has enough nutrients for him..
  
  but then, he's a happy little dog and that's goes a long way

  Fudge, you actually tried talking sense in speaker's corner?
  
  *presses laugh button*
  
  Anyway, all the small things add up. GST hike, Nets hike, public transport hike, etc. Starhub hike not counted because that one is something we can do without. Many other things are going to go up to, but those I cannot mention here.
  
  I think most of us can deal comfortably with it, but the lower income families barely making ends meet are going to get hit really hard.

  Let me guess
  School fees going up
  Yeah my dad was telling me about families to which 20 cents mean alot

  This is the week of the Fourth over here. Many at work have taken advantage of the fact that it falls on a Wednesday, to take either the two days preceding or following the Fourth off. A few, like my boss, will even be taking the whole week off.
  
  It's going to be awfully quiet in the office this week. Wonder if there would be anyone around to object if I brought my Dreamcast console and some games into the office...

  which is why we have been saying that the GST is going to hamstring the very people the MIW claim they are helping...
  
  they don't even bother to make up a believable lie anymore
  
  

  they are helping me to have a better life by increasing ALL my expenses... tat's just sooooooo helpful
  
  on the other note, i have to start shopping for furnitures!!!

  I'm thinking of going for the Nintendo DS Lite.
  
  The main reason why I choose it over the PSP is simple: it's backwards-compatible with my Game Boy Advance games.

  tare, do you try mixing bubbles feed?
  
  Like big packets of dry food with a smaller portion of semi wet food before serving to him?
  
  And when you are cooking, can separate the egg whites give him egg yolks.
  
  And instead of just washing him and drying him off, you can try massaging him with olive oil. So even if he is licking himself, he will be licking off edible oil.
  
  I do that with ah girl after the dog unit people advises me how to. Especially for small breeds, its good to use whatever way to help them maintain their health.

  the potential of the PSP and the PS3 is amazing actually..
  
  don't know why the publishers are not taking advantage of the sheer versatility of the machines...
  
  the PSP can become a very powerful PDA if someone were to just write something like that for it.. and more..
  
  the PS3 has the potential to become THE entertainment set-top box for everything.. from internet browsing, virtual home, gaming, video (it is a blu-ray player after all) and even more..
  
  but no one seems to want to do anything about it..

  tell me abt it....
  
  with my status, why can't i get a rented flat from hdb?! come on if i have tat kinda household income they state, how am i supposed to survive??!!!
  
  it's ppl like me tat are suffering and not "qualified" to receive any financial assistance cos my salary is too "high"... so wat am i supposed to do? get bank loans and spend the rest of my life clearing debts? hey wait, i'm not "qualified" to get loans either cos my salary is too "low"

  thing about Sony is that they know how to make great products... they just don't know what the consumer wants, and how to sell their products..
  
  their PSP and PS3 are probably the best platforms right now.. but if they only know how to market their products like Apple, they'd be beating away the hordes trying to get their stuff..

  i have always been an advocate of making the ministers go through a month of what a typical singaporean has to go through every year..
  
  living on that pay, having to take public transport, having to eat at hawker centres, cooking their own meals.. yadda yadda...
  
  WITHOUT their bootlicking entourage with them...
  
  i bet after a couple of days, they'd be curled up in foetal positions in a corner crying to themselves...

  actually err dogs are by nature omnivores apparently. they need veggies!
  
  cos.. hmm my first doggy my family didnt know. we also thought dogs were carnivores.. so we fed our dog just meat.
  
  and.. hmm eventually he died cos too much meat in his diet. too much protein overworked his liver. we didnt realise that could be dangerous until too late.
  
  So a good balance of meat and veggies is good for ur doggy ba..
  
  cats on the other hands, are entirely carnivorous and can live on a diet of meat almost all the time. tt is why cannot feed cats dog food.. they will die of malnutrition.

  I forgot that the gov consider a combined income of 8k high income and therefore should not be eligible for HDB subsidies
