Lifes Like That

One of the Chinese New Year traditions in Singapore is to bring along mandarin oranges when you are visiting family members and friends during the Chinese New year visiting.

Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Called the Lunar New Year by some, the festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th

Mandarin oranges are a must have during this period. They have an auspicious name and a must have when visiting family or friends during the 15 days of Chinese New Year celebration. By handing over two mandarin oranges to the Chinese host of the house that you visit, you are presenting the host with a pair of “gold” offering. The host will return a pair of “gold” offering in return.

Mandarin oranges can also be found displayed in abundance in houses of Chinese during this period

How about a slight change to the Chinese New Year tradition by handing over mandarin oranges with a difference this year? These oranges are made of bead and will definitely last longer than normal mandarin oranges.

It has been out in the news and on radio recently about dog obedience training in Singapore. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore is proposing to make obedience training for Rottweilers compulsory however some professionals and enthusiasts are suggesting that it be make compulsory for all breeds.

From reports over the past years, the number of small dog bites incidents is on the rise.

THEY may look cute but smaller dogs such as Jack Russell terriers, maltese, shih tzu and others are included in this list.

Small-dog bites accounted for 28 per cent of the bite incidents in 2005, 32 per cent in 2006, 45 per cent last year and 42per cent so far this year, according to statistics from the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore.

So will dog obedience training for your dog make it any less aggressive or likely to bite someone? The answer is no, but does that make dog obedience training unnecessary? Again the answer is no.

Dogs are just like you and me and have their own mind, thinking and characteristics so there is no way you can have total control but obedience training can help you control your dog better.

There are some owners who baulk at the price they have to pay for their dog obedience training in Singapore and the time they have to spend to bring their dog for the training, etc. But hey, as the owner, it’s your responsibility.

Anyway, if you think the price that you have to pay is beyond your reach or think it’s too much to pay for you dog’s training, here’s something else that you can consider. 

If you rather train your dog on your own than spend time bringing your dog to an obedience school, you can do your own dog obedience training with Sit Stay Fetch - Dog Training To Stop Your Dog’s Behavior Problems. It comes with a 60 day money back guarantee too!

In the continuation of my conversation with my son of an earlier post, we were browsing around online recently, looking at janitor’s job and stuff and it looks like some country are paying quite well for a “dirty” job that is not well liked by others.

Anyway, we chance upon this funny video of garbage men and a woman during our search.

Perhaps having a job as a collecting garbage isn’t as dull as you thought. Day in, day out, same routine.
