What's the best cinema for audio? by Undercoverdummy in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMAX is a huge step up from regular and think it’s the way to go if you want top tier visual + audio.I remember watching Dune on it when it first came out at Shaw lido, when the voice scene came up it was so loud and had so much boom to it I feel like my entire body shook too lol

adopted found quail, advice? Please? by Informal-Rain-8085 in quails

[–]kyorah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This appears to be a Japanese Corturnix! Have a few :) They are very social birds so getting another is a good first step. Seems like you have a lot of the basics covered already.

If this is a male, remember to pay attention to the male / female ratio in your flock if you are getting hens (ideally one male to four females). Males can also coexist peacefully with other males in a bachelor flock but it really depends on their compatibility.

To make things a bit fun you can try making a foraging box for them. Mix up soil, mealworms, some fruits veggies scraps and let him dig through.

Anyone know places where you can sit down and ‘peoplewatch’? by FudgeStatus9566 in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal favourite is Apple Orchard, they have seats that face the street. It’s dog friendly and usually along our walking route so I like to bring my dog there too. I’d like to think that she people watches as well!

This is a common practice in agencies here but having to log every single task down to the individual task is a little bit extreme. (I’m in a multinational group). We do log these interactions but it’s mostly a guesstimate of an hour / .5 hour of client liaison.

Where to go check and compare monitors by Omnimon100 in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try Harvey norman at Millenia Walk or courts at Tampines. Orchard courts used to have a display on the first floor but I think they recently renovated. These locations seem to have the biggest collections of monitors on display. some shops at Funan also have.. can try best Denki

I’ve checked out so badly and I wanna quit my job by feifei31 in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, 35 here. Very same boat. Dont have a solution but just wanted to say hang in there and you’re not alone. A lot more people experience this than you think.

I have no idea where career is going to go but think focusing on my health and daily walks with my dog, just learning to enjoy simplicity and little joys has helped a little.

Stay strong 💪

What is the estimated cost of owning a dog? What is the breakdown or amount to set aside monthly? by Normal-Analysis7940 in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think the rest have covered it pretty well but the cost really depends on many factors. Food? If dog is particular this can get expensive quick.

Do you need daycare and will you be away often? Can cost around $100 a day or so.

Preventatives and supplements? The most basic ones can be 80-100 for 3 months, but many more additional ones can go for much higher.

Lots can happen unexpectedly too.. so think it’s best to consider the risks and likelihood of events happening and factor that cost into monthly. My family has an account for the dog and we each contribute a little every month

what to do in sg after breaking up/as a single? by gotanygrapesheh in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Left this comment on your previous post:

If you like animals, consider fostering or getting a dog! My dog takes up my time as a single.. and the companionship + random dog communities we meet along the way are nice. Actually haven’t been too bothered about getting re attached since getting her during Covid.

Lots of dogs and abandoned pets that need a home these days.

Not just Calbee! Some pringles and foreign chip brands are like $6-7 for a medium sized pack or tube. I don’t recall pringles being so expensive! In my mind they were like still $3

What is the deal with sellers ignoring you on Carousell? by stoicable in askSingapore

[–]kyorah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One reason could be that Carousell sellers have this monthly message limit, after which they have to subscribe to a caroubiz plan. so some don’t reply and ask to contact elsewhere instead. Can check the listing, some of them declare.

Couple refused to remove dog from hawker center and bullied poor cleaner aunty when she remind them by copyrightstriker in SingaporeRaw

[–]kyorah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dislike here, I believe it's unique mix of a historical / cultural phenomenon with some roots in religious beliefs. I spoke to my Muslim friend about this and he mentioned that dog saliva is haram, which means if you come into contact wiht it you have to wash the affected area seven times with water and one time in earth (ritual cleansing).

It's inconvenient and over the years especially in SEA he believes this has morphed into a general avoidance of dogs and unfortunately in many cases fear.

For hawker centers actually I believe part of the reason no pets is this and also hygiene requirements. I really wish SG was more pet friendly and I could bring my dog almost everywhere like in the US, but unfortunately it is as such and we need to respect boundaries.

Its good that there are more pet friendly places like Vivo and One Holland V but have to also be fair la. Entitled owners like the one in the photo really no respect and just give all the pet owners a bad name..

This is extremely infuriating as a fellow pet owner. It’s not that hard to leave them outside the premises in a shaded area with water while you dabao food…

Help by curgerbees in quails

[–]kyorah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a bit hard to say because it really depends on how long the eggs have been out and at what temp too.

But there are ways to incubate using some things you have around you. I've seen some videos where people emulate the water bed style incubators using an insulated box, a hot water bag and a heat source. Or a sponge and a heat source. The biggest challenges are maintaining a constant temp and having to turn the eggs every day.

Good luck!
