    A very quick update...

    Singapore confirms the first H1N1 virus!

    The patient is a 22-years old young lady who visited New York recently. Those who have close contact with this lady has already been quarantined, and the ministry is still searching for passengers who were on the same flight from NY.

    Gosh...
    I am down with flu as well...
    Need to go to the doctor later.
    Flu flu go away!

    Edited:
    Doctor said I got Viral Infection.
    Asked me to go home and rest.
    So, I think it is time for me to show some social responsibility...
    Got 1.5 days MC. Oklah, I think I will rest half day only, then tomorrow get back to work...

    Mooncakes

    I bought at least 5-6 'big' mooncakes back to Malaysia last week. They are special. I'd never seen them in Malaysia before. Bought Meat mooncake (SG$4 each), teo chew mooncake (SG$9 each), and also sesame mooncake (SG$3.50 each). And guess what? Yesterday I accompanied Chloe to get some mooncakes, the price has gone down more than 50%!!! So, I bought another 'big' teo chew mooncake, SG$4.00, and I bought 2 more sesame mooncakes, SG$1.00 each only!!!

    *Updated* Sesame Mooncake photo....


    Meat Mooncake (pork), never seen this before in Malaysia, but there is a sticker on the packaging saying that this is a "product of Malaysia".


    Teo chew Mooncake (super big), it is different from what we can get in the famous Teo Chew Restaurant in Setapak.


    The filling...

    Singapore the FINE city


    This printed T-shirt drew my attention when I passed by Pagoda Street, Chinatown.

    The words are kinda small in the picture:
    No smoking - $500
    No chewing gum $1000
    No littering $1000
    No Urinating $1000
    No flower-picking $500
    No Flushing - $500
    No Bird-feeding - $1000
    No water wasting - $500
    No Spitting - $1000

    Everything fine.
    There are more:
    No parking coupon, fine.
    Jay walking, fine.
    Misuse of monthly travel pass, fine
    ...
    ...
    ...

    One more... not fine, but jail.
    About a year ago a jobless man wanted to commit suicide.
    So, he jumped down from his HDB flats.
    Unfortunately, he fell on a little girl, and broke the girl's leg.
    He wanted to die, but failed, ended up being sent to the jail, sad case...

    My bus is coming! I got to go!








    I always say my bus is coming in 10 minutes time, i got to leave now. How do I know? Hehehe. I use This link to check when is my bus reaching the bus stop near my office. If let's say I am not in the office, no internet connection, I can still check it by sending a SMS. Now even better. They have put this Digital bus arrival time board at the bus stop. The first column from the left indicates the bus service number, second and third columns are the next bus arrival time, and the subsequent bus arrival time. The wheelchair sign indicates that the bus is a double decker, and is a wheelchair-accessible bus.
