STOMPer Alex is offering a reward of $1,000 to anyone who can find his beloved parrot Hong Kong, that has gone missing since June 3.
Said the STOMPer:
"My pet parrot, Hong Hong, flew out of our flat at Blk 262A Compassvale Street at about 9pm of June 3.
"Hong Hong is a Congo African Grey parrot, tame and talkative.
"The reward is $1000 if found and retrieved.
"Please contact [redacted].
"My husband and I started our search with us sticking posters at surrounding neighbourhood lift lobbies. This was stopped due to need for approval from authorities and we continued our search by putting flyers into mailboxes (over 1000 copies). We have also posted ads on various websites and forums.
"On June 7, we were contacted and informed that Hong Hong had flown into a house at Blk 290A (either on 3rd or 4th June) but then flew off again.
"With this new info, we contracted a flyer company to print and distribute 10,000 flyer via HDB door-to-door. The flyer went out between 10th to 12th June but till date we still have no news of Hong Hong.
"We sincerely believe Hong Hong has flown into another HDB house because it is tired, thirsty and hungry.
"However, Hong Hong may have flown just slightly beyond the flyer's coverage or somebody may have overlooked on how dearly beloved Hong Hong is to me and my husband.
"We seek all fellow neighbours to help us find and retrieve Hong Hong. Any genuine news will also be rewarded, no questions asked."
STOMPer Alex is looking for his African Grey Parrot named Honghong.
The STOMPer said:
"I lost my pet, an African Grey Parrot, at around 9:00 pm, 03/06/2010, in the vicinity of our housing area of Sengkang, Blk 262A Compassvale Street.
"My parrot, Honghong, has a gold leg band on its left leg with a J715 marking.
"Do contact me if you have any leads with regards to the parrot at [redacted]."
Ang Mo Kio-Yio Chu Kang Town Council have spruced up and removed the weeds from a garden in Seng Kang after STOMPer abchua's previous feedback about its untidy state.
A Town Council spokesperson said in an email:
"We refer to STOMPer abchua's feedback on the untidy state of a garden at Fernvale Road that was posted on 26 April 2010.
"The Town Council is pleased to inform STOMPer abchua that the garden has been spruced up and the overgrowing weeds removed.
"We thank the STOMPer for his feedback."
STOMPer abchua spotted the untidy state of this garden, below the HDB flats in Sengkang, and hopes that it will be taken care of soon.
In an email, the STOMPer said:
"I happen to pass by this garden near Blocks 408 and 409 along Fernvale Road in Sengkang.
"I noticed that the garden was overgrowing with weeds.
"It seemed like no one had taken care of it at all for the past few months.
"I hope that the town council will look into this soon."
Lightning struck close to a HDB block in Compassvale Street causing a tree to fall.
It also resulted in a temporary loss of sound in STOMPer nobody's TV set.
The STOMPer said the lightning was accompanied by the loudest thunder ever heard.
Nobody says:
"The extraordinary lightning yesterday had caused one of the trees at Compassvale Street to fall.
"I can't imagine if the lightning had struck a human instead.
"The lightning also caused the TV set to lose sound for a couple of minutes."
The haze was so bad at Sengkang yesterday (August 6) that STOMPer Hoh's eyes hurt when she went out.
This STOMPer says:
"The haze level was really bad at Sengkang yesterday. I stay in Anchorvale and from my flat I could not even see the opposite flats.
"I think it was worse at Fernvale. I'm not sure which other areas in Singapore were affected.
"Visibility was really poor. It was especially bad in the evening.
"My eyes hurt when I went out and it was very uncomfortable.
"I wonder when the haze will go away as I have to stay indoors because of this."
