4499. Ear lump syrian hamster re-appears

18 DEC 2022: VETERINARY CASES from Dr Sing Kong Yuen

The ear lump at the entrance to the ear canal re-appears around 3.5 months after surgery. The Syrian Hamster is 2 years old

Dr Sing Kong Yuen proposed a wide excision of the ear lobe and ear canal. It is up to the owner to decide what to do.

If the owner does nothing, the lump will increase in size, becomes itchy, bleeding and infected as the hamster paws it. The hamster will stop eating and there will be a foul smell from the ear.

2. FOOD

On this particular Thursday, 15 Dec 2022, the baby back ribs was a 5-star dish cooked in the best way - not dry but "bone tender" as claimed FROM THE WEBSITE OF SEVENDAZE

“Fall off the bone tender baby back ribs slow-braised in our very own SevenDaze ‘It’s My Life’ beer—a refreshing pilsner that holds back on the hops for a sweeter, gentler flavour profile. We slather on a tangy tomato and paprika marinade to finish, and the result is a rack of succulent baby back ribs so flavoursome you’ll be licking the bones—but don’t worry, we won’t judge.”

FOOD. On this particular Thursday, 15 Dec 2022, the baby back ribs was a 5-star dish cooked in the best way - not dry but "bone tender" as claimed in THE WEBSITE OF SEVENDAZE. The meat was really not bone dry!

The staff was helpful esp. Johan who was attentive, hardworking and simply happy to talk to me. Keep up the good work.

Please do not mind if I attach my photo of the serene 11 pm ambience of the restaurant. This photo is shared with the global viewers and is for sale in www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets

The elephant ear plant (Colocasia) provides a bold tropical effect in nearly any landscape setting. In fact, these plants are commonly grown for their large, tropical-looking foliage, which is reminiscent of elephant ears.

AFRICAN TULIP TREE (Spathodea Campanulata)

The African Tulip Tree was introduced to Singapore in the 1910's from Uganda, Africa. It was brought into Singapore to be planted as roadside trees because of its colorful red flowers, and its ability to grow very rapidly, up to 6 ft a year. Unfortunately, growing quickly also means that the wood tends to be soft and brittle and the branches are likely to break in a strong wind. In addition, its shallow roots do not make this tree suitable for roadside planting. Unfortunately, by the time this was realized, the African Tulip has adapted so well to Singapore’s climate that it can now be found growing wild all over Singapore.

The flower buds form a ball-shaped cluster. Each brown banana-shaped flower bud is filled with water, forming a natural water pistol when squeezed. The outer buds bloom first before the inner ones. The tree blooms all year round and the flower lasts about 3 days. When the pod splits, it releases masses of winged seeds, a reason why it is among the first large trees to colonize wastelands. The split ripe pods has a woody, boat-shaped form and children use them in boat races, by placing the opened pods in a fast flowing drain. The seeds are edible. The soft, white timber is used in paper making. In West Africa, their homeland, the wood is used to make dr

I think its the Buddha's Hand fruit tree. The fruits we saw at the One Pillar Pagoda. What is interesting is its leaves have sharp and long thorns.

4495. The man who prefers not to be sociable

17 Dec 2022

"Now he is 83 years old and tires easily," his energetic 75-year-old wife said. "In previous years before Covid-19, he would be out of the house the whole day. My daughter would say that we were treating her apartment as a hotel!"

The man looked grumpy. He could be born with the looks. There is nothing I can do, but not to chat with him.

Night photography using smartphones - Alishan Forest Train Station.

Good Morning From Taiwan
Alishan Forest Train Station

Dec 2022, 5.20 pm. Cold, hazy at 12 degrees C

[7:28 am, 17/12/2022] David Sing: I need 4 megapixels. The image has white borders to make it 1700 x 2300 px which is above 4 megapixels. But it is now very difficult to see the haze and low temperature ambience. It looks like a poorly focused image.
[7:29 am, 17/12/2022] David Sing: Most smartphones are known to produce poor night photos.
[7:31 am, 17/12/2022] David Sing: They do well in bright daylight unless the person uses ISO settings over 1000.
