Dog owner was found! Thanks for helping out to spread the word and all the offers to adopt her!
My Mum found this female brown/white Shih Tzu loitering around Blk 462 Jurong West St.41 today.
She seems to have just went for grooming judging from her short and neat fur and trimmed toenails.
If you are the owner of this lovely dog, or if you know the owner of this Shih Tzu, please call me at XXXXXXXX.
- Brown/white Shih Tzu
- Brown Eyes
- Very friendly
- Found at Blk 462 Jurong West St.41 on 5th June before 11am.
Do help me spread word of this guys! Somebody must be missing this dog a lot.
p.s. She seems to take a liking to me. My heart ached a little when she curled up under my chair just like Junior used to do…

I just posted the picture below on Twitter, Plurk & Facebook to ask if anyone knew what these are for.
And these are the couple of interesting guesses I got from the peeps online…
LOL!
These are actually “adhesive buttons” called TackOnz from a company called LiquidXcape. What they do is to replace the common way of securing racing bibs onto tees using safety pins.
The problem with safety pins is that they damage the tees, are difficult to put on and dangerous (SHARP PINS!!!! HELLO???). If your safety pins are rusted, it will even stain the event tees.
With TackOnz, the problems above are solved and it will just leave a small nipple-like mark on your tee after use which will apparently go away after a wash. It also addresses a problem that I suspect a lot of people would have like me – I am damn anal about making the bib parallel to the horizon base of my tee. Safety pins are such a pain in the ass when it comes to aligning the bib.
I wanted to test the TackOnz for my Adidas Sundown Marathon race but if don’t already know, I am out injured. But, from what I can tell, it is extremely secure and I don’t see it dropping in the middle of any race unless the race involves wrestling with a grizzly bear with PMS.
TackOnz comes in a package of 6 buttons and is retailing at $12 per pack. It is available at New Balance Concept Stores in Singapore. Discounts are available for bulk purchases (That’s how I got mine thanks to the folks at SGRunners).
More info can be found at LiquidXcape’s website.
I’ll probably do an update if I ever get fit enough to enter my next race. If that doesn’t happen, I’ll find a PMS-ing grizzly bear.
