Anon is really a special girl.. in a moronic way.

I haven't seen someone so shameless and of course stupid, in my life.

I don't think whatever we said has gotten into her empty skull. She thinks what she said is common sense! (Evidence in the previous post). She thought it's common sense when none of you are convinced about what she has been barking about. She didn't realise that ALL that she said were (and are still) denounced. She didn't realise the obvious fact that NONE of you are convinced about her baseless claims. I doubt she understands even 30% of the contents here.

When asked for evidences to support her ridiculous claims, e.g. I don't respect Caesar, didn't give him rights, swimming is bad for dogs who are scared of water initially, dogs are not natural swimmers (it was implied), she told me no evidences are needed for common sense?????

I have a few questions for you anon. Please provide us with your answers followed by references you can find. I'm so sorry, though it's common sense to your "great mind". It isn't to us, we still do not understand. PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US. We'll be so honoured if you do so.








  1. Explain to me what you meant by "common sense".
  2. You mentioned dogs don't need swimming cos running and crawling would be enough. Can you explain why?
  3. Why do you insist that dogs can't express themselves?
  4. Why did you insist dogs can only "woof woof" and not have variations in loudness/frequency of barkings?
  5. Why did you deny that dogs can whine, yelp and howl?
  6. What aren't you convinced when all dog owners are telling you dogs can communicate effectively with them?
  7. Why did you say I didn't respect Caesar?
  8. Why did you ask me to treat Caesar the way I treat my friends when Caesar already ranks above all?
  9. Why did you say Caesar has no rights?
  10. Why did you say Caesar should be in the wild and not domesticated when this breed has been domesticated for centuries?
  11. Are you going to sterilise yourself?
  12. You mentioned that I am just "as shallow as people that came up with the idea of enslaving other humans just because they were more powerful,more advance in technology".
  13. Who are the people that came up with that idea? I didn't know of any though I read the papers everyday.
  14. Explain to us how is that considered shallow.
  15. Explain to us why am I as shallow?
  16. You told Sihui to talk to your cursor. How is that possible when your cursor is in your computer screen?
  17. Why do you want her to talk to your cursor? Do you talk to your cursor as well?
  18. Do you love to be showered my my attention?
  19. Are you a secret lesbian admirer?
  20. Do you like my blog? What makes you come back every hour? My pretty face? Caesar's butthole? You enjoy the attention everyone gives you?
  21. Do you realise you made no sense and my rubut is stronger?
  22. Do you realise you'll ALWAYS be inferior as compared to me no matter how hard you try?
I forgot to answer one of your question: "u dont go forcing all ur non swimmers friends to learn swimming right?"
Cos I don't care if they drown.

I'm blogging about her to share with my readers and fans how stupid a human being can actually be. *Actually I'm having fun poking her too*

P.s my friends asks if you are a dog whisperer? if you are could she make an appointment with you to go down to the shelter? She wants to find out the past of some of the homeless dogs there. OR are you the acclaimed Dr. Dolittle? Cos many will like to borrow your expertise in this field.

Please reply in the "comments" section cos you'll be cluttering my c-box.









*Whereabouts of anon*

anon-Gen: is this how u speak usually? this just goes to show what sort of upbringing u have had.
She ran out of things to say. We're still EXPECTING her enlightenment though..


19 Aug 08, 22:07
anon: say whatever u want dear, garner all ur friends' support. gain their backing,but there's one thing u cant gain n thats height. i have better things to do than continue in this cyber bickering,ciao [image here]

She still haven't answered our questions - maybe she finally realised what she said were all ridiculous nonsense? That's why she chose to end this whole issue by saying "i have better things to do than continue in this cyber bickering,ciao ". LOL. Why did she even start it in the 1st place?

To score more points for contents, she didn't forget to remind me about my unfortunate height of 154cm. Ouch it hurts! I can't gain height anymore! I seriously didn't know till she told me. I thought puberty stops at the age of 82. =(

She didn't realise it was (and is) her stupidity that had attracted the attention of all of you, instead she thought you guys are my "supporting fans". *??????????* how lame is that? I'm not a celebrity sweetie pie. hmmmm.. I'll miss you anon, we will be waiting for you till the day of "enlightenment".


20 Aug 08, 00:09
anon: sry i was having a great time with my parents.

??? What has that got to do with the questions we asked? I'm sure no one asked what you were doing. Ok fine, you have parents, now we know.

20 Aug 08, 00:10
anon: I have deccided to have a child and prove all of you wrong
20 Aug 08, 00:11

Hahaha, I don't have any comments..

20 Aug 08, 00:14
anon: yes I am taller than you
20 Aug 08, 00:15

anon: i am 172cm, u? so short. and i dont think you are pretty at all. anyone on the road is prettier even ah ma.

Wah 172cm, that's really tall for a toad. errr but.. what was your point? Ok ok ok I'm not pretty cos I don't attract any male toads, I've got it.

20 Aug 08, 12:01
anon: pls she's not even close to pretty. I think my grandma looks prettier. she's not even 1% of me. I'm a school belle even ppl from other sch are trying to come after.

Please don't criticise her for coming back, she loves me. She spammed this on my tag board about 5 times! Wah, okokokok your granny is very very very pretty. That tiger-beer aunty in Geylang coffeeshop right? The very hot granny all ah peks touch right! She's really sexy leh.. School belle? You mean you go to school?

Not even 1% of you? I've gotta agree with that, not many people are.

20 Aug 08, 15:26
anon(xuesha): 154 is short.period.

20 MINUTES LATER... she started to miss me again, I'm like a drug to this toad, she can't do without me.

20 Aug 08, 15:45
anon(xuesha): 140 is tragic. 154 is indeed unfortunate

Hahahahahahaha, I think she (being stupid), believed it when I mentioned I was hurt earlier. So she reminded me about my height again, this time round, she made use of new words she learnt from me, "unfortunate" and "tragic". I'm glad you're improving, keep it going!

Awwwww toad, OUCH IT HURTS! *crying sorrowfully*

Nameless tagger still didn't give up

Well as all of us can see, she's a clueless asswipe trying very very very very hard to be what she can NEVER be - somebody with a brain.

Since she decides to let me turn her into a laughing stock, I shall not disappoint her.

hey stop being childish alright?verbal attacks towards the contents in my skull n so on..all i m saying is u shldnt force anything onto anybody or any living thing for that matter ur own set of standards. if ur son or daughter or dog doesnt want to do something because he or she simply doesnt like it, there is no point. caesar likes to swim so tts ok, but what if he didnt?dogs cant SPEAK abt their likes n dislikes so respect them treat them as equals. making them our pets is alrdy damn bad. how wld u feel if i made u my pet?n there is nothing u cld do abt it, because the only words tt r coming outta ur mouth is "woof woof"? - image here

1. Contents in your skull

I'm sure there's nothing inside so there's no harm attack something that is non-existant? I'll stop being childish when you stop behaving like an idiot *smiles sweetly*

2. "all i m saying is u shldnt force anything onto anybody or any living thing for that matter ur own set of standards."

Hmmm, who is forcing her way through facts and knowledge with her own "set of standards"? Low standards, crooked standards.. standardless standards?? She ignored the existance of facts and denied their credibility.

3. "if ur son or daughter or dog doesnt want to do something because he or she simply doesnt like it, there is no point."

No point? What point? Explain? Is that how you are going to raise your kids? Let them determine what to learn and what not? Go sterilise yourself please. Don't raise another thrash like you. You parents obviously didn't do a great job. Child: "Mum I don't wanna go to school." HER:"It's ok, let's not go then!"

4. "caesar likes to swim so tts ok, but what if he didnt?"

Firstly, I thought I mentioned Caesar didn't like swimming? What are you talking about? Repeating what I've said and phrase it into a sentence? He didn't but now he does. Does that answer your ridiculous question??

5. "dogs cant SPEAK abt their likes n dislikes so respect them treat them as equals."

Like I say, do YOU even know how a pack of dogs live together? You are the one suggesting dogs should be in the wild, and yet you know nothing about it. There nothing such as equality in a pack of dogs. I beg you to read up man. Besides, there's nothing such as your ideal kind of "equality" in ths world! You are trying to tell me "authority" is a bad thing that should never exist. In a decent family, parents have the authority, in a country, officials have the authority. Dogs NEED a leader in their pack, all social animals including human do. This is nature you toad.

It's YOU bunch of uneducated shit that hopes for no heirachy in a society cos you always rank bottom. You wanna be equal? Imagine what kind of world this would become if people like you are in control.

You are also the kind of people that will raise ill-behaved dogs. This kinda disgust me. It's ALWAYS those "oh-equality-rules-the-world" kind of people that end up not able to control their dog and will give their dogs up for adoption cos they CAN'T control them anymore.

You are the one trying to reverse nature completely, trying to raise dogs the HUMAN way, and not the DOG way. Please support your claims with evidence, since when did I NOT respect Caesar as a unique individual?

And you moron, dogs can't SPEAK and we KNOW THAT! Let me repeat what you don't know, dogs CAN still express their feelings in various ways. They can't speak doesn't mean they can't express themselves at all YOU MORON. Humans study how animals communicate and adopt their ways of communication when dealing with them you toad. Watch more national geographic podcast.. toad.

5. making them our pets is alrdy damn bad. how wld u feel if i made u my pet?n there is nothing u cld do abt it, because the only words tt r coming outta ur mouth is "woof woof"?

Define the term "making them our pet". Make sure you tell us YOUR unique definition.

"how wld u feel if i made u my pet?" Oh nono, that would be suicidal. I'll rather be a cockroach's pet.

DOGS DON'T just go "woof woof" you MORON!! How many times must I emphasize before it can enter your thick skull??? You seriously think owners can't tell how ther dogs feel? huh? Toad?

Ok, we know you don't have a dog, we know. Please don't ever own one... toad. You are incapable of raising one up like how it should be raised by their mothers in a natural way.
*one particular sentence Sihui comment made me laughed "I'm also curious are you a dog owner yourself? oh wait your dog must be in the wild." click here for awesome comments left by my friends!!

Kids should spend more time in school and on schoolwork, and not coming online to seek insults or display their lack of basic knowledge. Go complete your penmanship now, you toad.

Unless you have more of your opinions you want me to bring down.

P.S Told you she's a cheap whore. More from her, 100% stupidity (click here), she's trying to teach me to treat Caesar like any of my friends. Hello there, how many of you wish that I can treat you like Caesar? Please do reply in the comments so she can see it. Hahaha. She doesn't even have a clue about Caesar and I.

But judging that she comes from a lousy secondary school, I won't expect much from her too, she underestimated IT.

Oh and dear friends, she just labelled you guys as SHALLOW. Shit, now she assumes it the other way round. She said I've been twisting her words.. how come I don't see that at all? Unless she has a problem in expressing them in correct English? I've interpreted them in a standard way. Oh wait, she can't comprehend. Man, she's making me to hate her parents now that they raised a slut whore to annoy me.

P.S.S
Long story short,

19 Aug 08, 00:14
Genevieve - anon: You haven't even convinced anyone of the 300 unique readers. Instead, your claims are denounced, you cant read? Give up, your cranky ideas will NEVER be accepted by anyone with a brain.

anon-Gen: i don't need certs or whatever for commonsense.

To the cheap whore: I'm sorry you have to go through all these at such a young age. But you have been advised to go do your penmanship, haven't you? Reality is harsh, you must learn to face the facts that you are inferior in every way as compared to me.

Oh yea, study hard and I hope you'll find a brain soon.

Lots of love,
Genevieve

Anon-ther Idiot who fought really hard for the title of a dog-expert.

I just realised that most of the idiots that came to my blog are nameless. I believe their idioticalness are hereditary, it runs in their family blood. Have I mentioned their parents can't even label them with a word? *I mean come on, even "moron" is a word!*

My friend, LeeZ, was telling me she's gotta train Clare, her goldie to swim. So this idiot decided to make her 1st attempt to be smart by replying to her message, "maybe Clare doesn't want to learn how to swim? because she fears of drowning?"

Err, well of course most "1st-timers" are afraid of water and instintively they won't wanna enter the pool of they fear death/injury (it's instinct). Of couse they can't understand any shit when you try to persuade them it's perfectly safe, explain that life-vests work wonders, and that you are there to ensure their safety blah blah blah..

Now here comes my question, are dogs natural swimmers? I would say almost ALL natural breeds are. Is swimming good for dogs? I must say, YES, very very very good in fact. Will list down my own reasons later. So, if swimming is really that good, should you introduce your dogs to swim? Why not? As long as you are there to ensure their safety. Besides, you just need to leave them in the pool and they'll start swimming after awhile! Dogs have stronger sense of survival than human, imagine throwing a child in a pool, they'll drown. Dogs? Probably frightened and will be splashing water here and there, but they still can make their way out of the pool without any help.

When I explain politely that swimming is in fact very good for big dogs to prevent hip dysplasia(in fact it treats!), she decided to make a 2nd attempt to be smart, and this time, her stupidity pissed me off.

"u guys r just making their lives difficult becuz dogs don't have voices and can't defend themselves"

One of my readers pointed out something I didn't notice. This idiot mentioned "dogs don't have voices." Are you sure? Haven't you heard a dog bark? (*opps maybe she's dumb) So this cleans your 1st doubt. I must highlight to you that like humans, verbal communication isn't their ONLY way of expression. Most experienced dog owners will agree with me, that dogs have different facial expressions. Other than facial, their body language tells us almost EVERYTHING.

So dear Ms Anon-ther Idiot, do you think we don't know our precious doggies are afraid of the waters? I KNEW my boy was scared of the waters and his previous owner told me he can't swim. But come on, which dog can't swim? Especially when he's one of the oldest breed in the world. I also KNEW he COULD swim. The only thing that held him back was the psychological barrier he couldn't cross on his own.

Back to my readers, just some background story, this giant clung onto me for a very long time in the pool, and he glued himself against the sides of the pool and refused to swim. He was so so so so afraid cos he had trauma when he was younger. It took him 40 minutes standing along the sides of the pool before this happened.


This was taken 4 yrs ago I think. Look at the different facial expressions of the noob and the experienced swimmer.

He didn't wanna stop swimming! Notice that he'll keep making turns whenever he's reaching an end of the pool?

As I have mentioned, hydrotherapy is very beneficial for dogs. Google about it yourselves.

My main reason for introducing this to Caesar,
  • It is very good for their legs.
    My dog is a giant breed, and his weight puts a lot of stress on his legs, if he's not trained, his legs might not be able to carry his weight when he grows old.
  • It's a very cooling form of exercise that works on a lot of muscles.
    Jogging and weight-pulling is best for them, but not in the case of Singapore, it's too hot! All dogs can't sweat, thus their "body-cooling" system doesn't work as well as ours.
  • It treats all sort of leg problems that running/jogging can worsen.
    It's a hydrotherapy for hip dysplasia - a very common joint problem in bigger dogs. Caesar doesn't have it though, I've spent a lot on supplements. *oh no I forced him to pop pills! should've ignored and let him suffer the NATURAL process of bone and muscles weakening* (according to this tagger, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.)

18 Aug 08, 00:16anon-LOL: dogs don't need to swim in order to be healthy, letting them run or crawl wld suffice

See what I meant by saying she knows NOTHING?

Wanna read her stupid posts? Click here and here. I'm sorry Ms. Anon-ther Idiot, you are not welcomed to my blog cos you're a nuisance... and I'm allergic to stupids.

In case you are wondering, you are talking to one of the most committed young dog-owners in Singapore. I KNOW not many within my age group are able to commit as much as I do. People who knows me will definitely agree with this.

*By the way, I need help. Can anyone one tell me/find out for me which airlines to New Zealand allow dogs. It'll be even better if they allow big dogs in cabin. Money isn't a problem.

Don't question me about things like "Isn't it stressful?" I know my baby best so don't you try to act smart. And yes I have even consulted professionals to further confirm that my decision is right.


P.S Talking about life-vests, if you think they are afraid of waters, didn't it occur to you that they'll be equally scared when there's a life-vest??????

Why did you even raise the idea of a life-vest? Cos it'll ensure their safety? Back to my point, as long as we are there to ensure their safety it's fine!

And life-vests don't work on all dogs. Again, don't talk like you know more than I do. How do I know you're a trying-to-be-smart noob? Your 1st comment to my friend convinced me so.

P.S.S She energizer-operated - she never give up.

18 Aug 08, 00:18anon-gen:
just admit it, u r an egoistic human who thinks u r superior to other animals like dogs.so they

18 Aug 08, 00:19anon-gen:
have to listen to u n do whatever u deem is correct for them w/o sparin a thought for them


Egoistic? You sure that's the word you intend to use? Cos it has nothing got to do with assuming superiority. LOL

I believe she's trying to say I'm a snob. SNOB?????? Since when have I denied I wasn't?? I AM SNOBBISH. I discriminate lians and bengs cos I regard them as "social-inferior". "thinks u r superior to other animals like dogs" .. Nooo, I love dogs, in fact I think I'm more superior than other animals like YOU. So you have to listen to whatever I deem to be correct, even if I didn't spare any single thoughts about you. *leave my blog!!*

She mentioned about "w/o sparin a thought for them". Oh dear.. I might need you to clarify with me your UNIQUE DEFINITION of "w/o sparin a thought for them". I did mention about the health benefits they can reap from swimming didn't I? Unless see me as sparing thoughts only for myself? I confused, in your opinion, what do I gain when Caesar swims? I lose weight (uh no that's a disadvantage)? Or gain weight? i had expected you to realise analysis and weightage of pros and cons took place. If my expectations of you were too high, my apologies.

I don't see much difference of what I've been doing to that of concerned parents. Except for I didn't send my Caesar for ballet or piano classes. I don't hire tutors for him too.

Could it be that you had a horrible childhood that's why you came to nettle us for our ideal "parenthood" for dogs?

P.S.S God damn it, she tagged AGAIN. picture here.


18 Aug 08, 01:41anon: i feel sorry for caesar, even though he lives in better conditions than most singaporeans, he has
18 Aug 08, 01:42
anon: no rights. he ought to be in the wild. i hope he's happy
18 Aug 08, 01:43
anon: n when i said 'voice' i meant actual words. a simple woof cld ve meant anything.if only he cld tell
18 Aug 08, 01:44
anon: u straight what he wants in words

Wow, now Caesar became a dog with no rights. Don't ask me, beats me how she can even draw that conclusion. LOL. Based on what reasons can you tell me? So I can attack your weak and baseless conclusion. Based on making him realise his natural ability to swim? Or do you suggest I let him run for hours until he collapse under the sun? Let him eat chocolates/spoilt food/birds/rats/cats when he wants to? Of course they eat that in the wild, and in the wild, if their prey happened to be some infected animals, they die. I bet you don't even know what effects can chocolate have on dogs.

Talking about rights, I'm the poor soul who has no rights. Cos I very much wanna break open your skull and see what's inside but the law doesn't allow me to.

"he ought to be in the wild"
Caesar should live in the wild??!?!?!?!???!?!??????? You kidding me?????? This breed of dogs have been domesticated for centuries! Stop spouting nonsense when you know nothing about dogs more than I do.. up till now you haven't said ANYTHING that made sense.

A bark or woof can mean anything? Can I tell you dogs don't just bark? And within just a bark, there ARE indeed many ways of expression. Do you know how wild dogs live in a pack? Do you have any idea how their heirachy works? How packs hunt? How packs feast? How packs communicate? Do you even know their NATURE? Do you have any idea you are telling us you aren't even familiar with dogs?

"if only he cld tell u straight what he wants in words"
You say this like you are a thousand-year-old dog demoness or something. Or that you were a dog in your previous life and you happen to remember every details of your past life vividly. LOL.

Do you really think dogs communicate with their own "words" like humans do? Too much fairy tales!! I don't think I'm gonna educate you here man. Go do more research yourself. I have a friend who happens to be a certified animal behaviourist who spends years studying about animals SO.. GAME OVER. Stop displaying your lack of knowledge and intelligence. I feel sorry for you, you tried so hard, yet... *tsk tsk*

Though your "dodo-ness" and determination is really supposed to be hilarious, it irks me. So yea, you are not welcomed. Well if you really like my blog so much, come here secretly and don't make noise. Don't make me ban you not just from the cbox, but from my Homepage as well.

Yes I'm an ugly bitch inside-out, you toad.

Okay she's just a kid whose brain hasn't fully develop. Since that squishy thing inside her skull can't absorb what I've said, I shall stop wasting my efforts educating her. *NOTHING WENT IN*

She was saying dogs ONLY have 1 form of expression, that is "woof woof".

LOL. OK I give you time to roll on the floor.
YOU NOOB! WHY ARE YOU CONTINUOUSLY SHOWING PEOPLE HOW STUPID YOU ARE??? We know you don't have a dog and obviously knows nothing about owning one. Don't act like you know more than I do please. It's not enough that I shame you here? You want something more offensive when I really decide to speak my mind??

People with brains can tell what Caesar's trying to express here:



Your baseless conclucions about how I treat Caesar is amusing. I shall let you make more stupid remarks cos I believe my readers wanna have a say too. So yea, since you are so cheap, keep coming back and BARK until we get bored about you.

Is she spinning clockwise or anti clockwise?



I received this picture from an email years ago and I thought it was a delusive image, cos I could only see it turning anti-clockwise no matter how many centuries I spent staring at it. It was until recently that I was able to see it turning in both directions when my brother showed this image to the family.

My family members saw it changed in different directions all at different timings! My brother can only see it in one direction. He's heavily a left-brainer.

I just wanna find out how many of you sees the right, left, or both!



I heard that this has a close relation to whether you use your right of left brain more. In Singapore, our education system requires us to work on the left side of our brains more frequently. I believe more students/fresh grads from formal school education are the "left-brainers".

This reminds me of optical illusions actually.


Clockwise: You use more of the right side of your brains.
Anti-clockwise: You use more of the left side of your brains.

*Study how the image changes. When you think the foot is pointing at you, it can also be pointing at the other direction, away from you! Try covering the body and look only the the two legs!

It's the same idea as the old internet explorer OR netscape navigator logo. Not convinced? Try looking at these with a group of people, you guys will see it change direction at different times! Don't focus on it too much or you can't see it change!

More! I think both pictures belong to optical illusions rather than a "brains tester". What do you think?

This is slightly easier to see it spin in both directions, as and when you like it to.

My electricity bill decreased from an average of $500/mth to just $150/mth


  • We still switch on the air-conditioners every night.

  • We still watch TV at the usual times.

  • We don't use candles to replace of light bulbs.

Being energy efficient isn't just about saving money, it's about saving the environment!! Do you know energy wastage has indirect effects to global warming? The polar bears are dying!

All my family members did was to do some minor alterations to our lifestyle habits and change some of the electrical appliances.

Here are some of the things we did:

Use energy-efficient electrical appliance the Energy Label


Image from the National Environmental Agency http://www.nea.gov.sg/

The number of green ticks basically reflects on the efficiency on energy consumption of the electrical appliance. More more information on the specifications of this label, click here.

But I have one thing to highlight. There's a common misconception about this label. It doesn't mean that the more ticks you have, the more energy efficient you are. Why? Electrical appliances that have more ticks are usually the bigger ones. Let say you need only a 300 litre refrigerator cos you don't buy much groceries but because it only has 3 ticks, you decide to buy one that has has a capacity of 500 litres cos it has 4 ticks? The 4-ticks bigger fridge consumes more electrical energy than the 3-ticks smaller one. So if you don't need the big fridge but you buy it because of the number of ticks, you are wasting energy because you don't need such a big one. Thus, you become energy-inefficient even though you bought an energy efficient home appliance.

In this case the energy efficiency is judged based on the comparison of refrigerators with the same capacities and features.

My family emptied 4 refrigerators and got a huge one for all the stuff we have. Save LOTS LOTS LOTS of money.

Air-Conditioners (Strategic arrangements & the inverter)

As you know, the air-conditioners are the main contributors to our overall electricity consumption.

We reshuffled the air-conditioners to a more strategic arrangement. As you know we have 9 bedrooms. 1 has been converted into a storeroom, 3 spare bedrooms for guests, and 5 other are normal bedrooms. We changed two system-2 air-conditioner sets(1 compressor, 2 air-cons) into a system-4 inverter (I'm not sure what's inverter though, but it saves more energy?).

Caesar's room's air-conditioner was a system-1, thus, very inefficient in energy-saving. One of the system-2 was installed in my room (the current store-room) and Caesar's room (We share a bedroom now cos Caesar hates to sleep alone - social animals)

Air-Conditioners (temperature)

Rule no.1: Never set the temperature lower than 25°C in this tropical climate. Some people set it as 16°C! Silly! Your room's temperature will never be that low (unless you have more than 1 air-con in a small room). 25°C should be comfortable enough. What's the point of switching on the air-conditioner and bury yourself under the blanket in your long-sleeved pajamas, shivering??

The lower the temperature, the more energy it takes to reduce the room-temperature. Sometimes, the desired temperature will not even be reached when you wake up in the morning. In another words, your air-conditioner has been using up a LOT of energy trying to cool your room further throughout the night.

Air-Conditioners - how to help reduce its "workload"

  1. Cool down the temperature of the room manually before you switch on the air-con.

    While watching TV, open all the windows and doors of your room so that the air can vantilate.

  2. Make sure your room is well insulated.

    My family bought door-sweeps from DIY stores to fix it at the bottom of the doors of our rooms to prevent cool-air from 'escaping'.

    Make sure your windows do not allow 'leakage' of cool air too.

    Do not leave your door opened when the air-conditioner is switched on. Make it a habit to close it if you need to leave you room for a second.

  3. Use a fan on rainy nights instead of air-conditioners, unless you sleep with any close cousins of Caesar.

  4. Paint your walls with heat-insulating paint. (It works!) We use it in the rooms that are affected by the late afternoon Sun, as well as the ceiling (top-floor unit)

  5. Install window films to reduce heat radiation. This works miracles for houses that are badly affected by the Sun.

  6. Set-timers for air-conditioners. If you are waking up at 6am. Set the timer to stop the air-con from working 30 minutes before your intended time of waking up. The room will still stay cool for the 30-60 minutes as long as the doors are closed, especially in the morning. In this case, you won't forget to switch off the air-con too!

  7. Remove as many heat radiating things from your room. In my case, my parents removed the freezer, fridge, microwave oven from their room. I don't know about your rooms, but just remove if there's any.

  8. Blow-dry your hair in the bathroom, not air-conditioned room.

Refrigerator

  1. Do not over-clutter your refrigerator.

    Over-cluttering causes poor ventilation, thus, it will be harder for the refrigerator to maintain temperature.

  2. Do not open the refrigerator door and just stare into it, or just to enjoy the cool air.

    That's what many people do. Make it a habit to think of what you wanna get before you open it. I forgot the readings on the E-Track device, but you spend quite an amount opening the refrigerator door.

  3. Wait for food to cool before storing them in the refrigerator.

    I know some kids like to cool the boiling water in freezers. We don't really boil our water cos it's all been through reverse osmosis - super clean.

It's getting too wordy and I'm sleepy. So I'll just sum up the rest.

  • Do not leave lights switched on when not in use.

  • Turn off the computers and laptops when not in use.


  • OR turn off the screen (extend lifespan of screen too)


  • Reduce usuage on hair dryers.


  • Washing Machine, wash it full load.


  • Do not leave switches on stand-by mode


  • Make use of natural warm water (late afternoon/afternoon)


  • reduce usuage of oven (high energy-consumption)


  • Don't use the toaster just for 1 slice of bread! (energy inefficiency)


  • Do not switch on another TV if you are watching the same channel as others.


Will talk about the usefulness about the E-TRACK Device soon!

Try these ways out for a month, and tell me your change in electrical usage bill!!

You know why Caesar loves me don't you.

Love to capture his happy faces.. priceless!!






















All for my baby and no one else!! He was so happy to see my surprise gift!

Can't wait for hubby's ORD dinner. Commandos in black! I have so many dresses in my wardrobe yet altered. Hubby suggested a new dress, but I guess he hasn't seen how many yet-worn clothes I have. I don't really wanna buy anymore clothes now..

Their theme is Mafia, any suggestions on dresses? I love white, 99.9% probability of wearing this colour.

For "concerned" readers/passerbys

This is a corridor of a 9-room pent house, not HDB.

How is it possible to keep one in HDB??? Do I look like a 'law-breaker'?

Videos that worth your time

Caesar smelt his beef cooking, but he had to wait for the boiling hot beef + Soup to cool before consumption.

You can tell he's frustrated when he's hungry!



See how this giant reacts to his friends' names.
Damn funny!! That deft look!
