No leh... I have a tiny cubicle that won't be big enough to do all that

Are you the sort who maintains a few pots of plants and a fish bowl with goldfishes at your office cubicle /room? You can grow your organic herbs if you sit next to the window. Pluck some and toss it with your salad during lunch. Hahaha!

I need $$ to buy seeds, chicks etc

Good to have colleagues like you. Don't bother others or secretaries to water their plants or feed their fishes when they go on leave for 2 weeks!

Yes, quite exciting! But I've tiled up much of my green lungs! Haha...Zeit:
Beware of snakes if you decide to rear chicks, ducklings, rabbits and hamsters in your garden.
Beware of bats and squirrels if you grow papaya, mango trees. Expect your fruits to be stolen by wild monkeys at times!
Beware of birds, cats and otters if you have a koi pond or large aquarium.
Beware of stray cats if you have pet birds in cages.
Expect some monitor lizards, iguanas, tortoises, frogs and snails lurking in your garden from time to time. Don't they make life more interesting? Where I stay now does have all the above, except otters. But I just found out from a neighbor that we have a civet cat in the neighbourhood!
Civet cats! Luckily not wild boars!
OT: Some months ago, I read that there were some jungle fowls near Sin Ming. Are there any more leftovers?
I also read that Anglican High School's garden has durian trees! They just harvested some durians weeks ago. -

Just saw a few of those jungle fowls near Midview City this morning. Guess they must have escaped the claws of AVA.

The tree may be small but fruits are huge.
One durian is $x; passive income :rahrah: -
i'm also thinking how much hubby and i can retire comfortably in singapore...no travel bug, so that should save a lot. health is a concern like knees and dental for eg. i would need to continue with my endocrinologist for life. housing wise, flat should be fully paid up. but i would like to enjoy sitting in a Lexus. told hubby if we downgrade to a 3 room flat...how about getting a luxurious car? :please:
