  ya it is

  Make sure the water is clean

  you can make a weak solution of salt water to treat the eyes

  Or you can go to the aquarium and ask for a packet of japanese yellow powder.

  Very cheap only. Add it to it's water. just a bit to colour it yellow.

  This is an antibiotic used to treat fishes but works for aquatic turtles, or u can use as eye drops for it

  e SC threads on HDB flat prices is getting crappy.

  I mean if you dun want to live in kampung, then things would get costly. Only thing yeah la, it's crazy for new flats to be very expensive like $470k for 1 unit!

  Now kpkb abt resale flat prices. So later restrict price range, later kpkb price fixing?

  HDB is very ex now la.

  Anyway, if it’s really bad you can bring the terrapin to a vet. I can recommend you one who is good with turtles.

  A lot of people bring their terrapins to him for a check-up too. He’s the one whom I bring Piggy & Shelly to.

  After CNY I need to bring them to see him anyway. Going to get them microchipped.

  but honestly as land becomes more intensively used, it's going to get ex

  We're just a small island and we need land for SAF, housing, roads/ MRT, industries, recreation, schools and wat's not.

  Of coz la

  Even the stupid location of the new flats in Simei is over 400k for a 4 room

  They want to live in developed country, mindset and understanding our constrain as a small country is lacking.

  Ya Dynamo the small concentrated bag. That one is as powerful as Dixan.

  We buy the Dynamo when NTUC don't have Dixan. They don't have it all the time at Simei

  of course ma, Dixan mostly ang moh would use one de for it from Germany so heartland shops wun really stock up.

  Even very few provision shops sell Dixan, only saw some do sell it. If you do see Dixan, chances are you can find Fa as well (both from Henkel)

  talking abt things from Europe

  My bolehland relatives has e impression things from e Western world is expensive. But they got shocked that sometimes Bolehland made ones are more expensive or abt e same.

  The result of a open retail market.

  But hey because of our British past, we tend to look West too

  No leh Alumnium foil got other brands

  But I think those suck. Very thin and tear easily. That is why we always stick to Diamond.

  Glad wrap is also easiest to use. The rest is very flimsy and hard to handle
