Engagement rings are a scam- Buy no diamond!

To all girls out there, please do not demand a ring from your love.
Demand something nice, like a good, nice watch?
or maybe a nice plush toy?

We got to stop pushing wedding costs up and defer marriages for the next generations!

Dating Websites - they are a good way to interact

I wrote about dating websites in a Quora question, and though of sharing it here.

____________________________________



Dating websites, or social websites are actually pretty decent.

Sure, there is a percentage of weird people. People with no good social skills, or desperate people who came to the websites with the wrong motives.
In fact, i even met cheaters and tricksters, who were out to trick people's money via some elaborate scams or friendship.

But by and large, majority of the people there are just people looking for friends, but similar to you, have a small social cycle.
It could be due to unfamiliarity due to moving from another city. It could be shyness. It could be due to heavy workload that leaves little time for making friends. Or it could be due to boring colleagues or acquaintances in workplace. 
Or it could be just fate....

Majority of people are nice, and dating /friends websites are the best place to know more people and make friends. I made many good friends from these sites.

Even if you are the one with no social skills, the websites help to find people who can match to your characters.

Just make sure you google dating websites, google reviews. And please try the free, more fun versions before you paid for anything.
(I won't recommend any, but suffice to say www.okcupid.com is free!)


(The worst kind of people I find, are those who dont bother to be interesting, dont bother to be fashionable, dont have attractive qualities, yet complain the other people in the websites dont look like Victoria's Secrets Models. These people do badly in real life, and they carry the bad aura into these websites as well)

Facebook is no longer America-centric but World-centric

The notification icon in facebook that we all look for when we log in and to see did anyone commented or update something that would interests us...
the one in a shape of the globe...

From Wed, do you notice anything different?

Yup, the globe is no longer America-centric.

The globe is no longer show America. and is instead showing the other side of the globe. (I was informed that Americans logging in to facebook in America is still seeing the American-centric globe though)

The globe is now showing Europe - Asia - Africa.

You know, where the majority of Facebook's customers are.

Just 18.3% of facebook's active users are from USA or Canada.

Welcome to the World! =D

I am getting a starbucks, just to tell them how much I support them for paying for their barristers' degree
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-16/starbucks-to-pay-part-of-college-tab-for-u-s-workers.html

Starbucks Corp. (SBUX), which has offered company stock to store employees for more than two decades, will now begin picking up most of the tab for workers to get a degree through Arizona State University online.
Starbucks employees who work at least 20 hours a week and enroll in the university’s online bachelor’s degree will get $6,500 -- about half of their tuition -- for the first two years, the company said in a statement. They will then get full tuition for the final two.

Enjoy your coffee!

Raw Food diet for Pets

Have been reading up on raw food diet for pets, and learned on the benefits and worries of this diet.
though for small treats for dogs, I will go for some good brands of dog and cat treats.
This is because treats are really important for dogs.
You can read about Dog Pet Treats importance in Singapore.

Anyway, we decided to to try raw food for their main meals daily.
At the end of the day, we decided that cats and dogs would be healthier eating raw meats.
After all, it is natural.
Raw meat diet may be more hassle and slightly more expensive than pet food, but your pets are healthier so you get to save on future vet bills...


Hassle-wise, I find preparing food for pets quite fun.


We prepare food in packs for weeks at 1 go, freeze them and thaw them 1 day before for their next day meal.


The powder on top is a calcium powder made from eggshells, mixed with supplements.

Kiekie enjoying her meal. She has been looking forward to dinner so much more now, compared to dry pet food...


Chewing up her drumsticks.


Sometimes I leave it up to her to eat on her own...


Maomao's turns to eat!!


The cat is picky eater. It takes ages for her to change her diet....

As they aged, I feel that the diet become more and more important for them. The cat now prefer soft food as no need to chew so hard.

One day, we will be old too =) Hope we can bring some joy to our dog and cat as they have brought us.

Congrats to the sleep deprived
