H1N1 news: 4th H1N1 death in Singapore! 40% of Singaporeans to get H1N1 within the next 2 months!

I learnt of another sad tragedy surrounding the H1N1 situation in Singapore today: the 4th death! 2 more people suffering H1N1 were also warded in the Intensive Care Units.

It seems that Singapore is getting a H1N1 death so easily, so common these days! It seems scary! Would I be the next to contract H1N1?

It is likely that I would contract H1N1 for the Ministry of Health has estimated that within the next 2 months, 40% of all Singaporeans or rather people living on this little island would be infected with H1N1. Darwin's evolution theory: Survival of the fittest, will then kick in..... the stronger and healthier will survive.. the less healthier may succumb to H1N1 and even die! Collectively, Singaporeans would then develop a herd immunity towards H1N1, and hopefully vaccines would then be developed to help fight against this dreadful disease!

In my opinion, this wave of H1N1 is scarier than any terrorist attack! And this H1N1 infection wave underscores the fact no matter how Man has conquered the earth, the moon, made quantum leaps in technology, he still could not win the battle against the most minute viruses since time immemorial.. therein a biological attack by terrorists is also scary.. imagine a H1N1 strain developed by terrorists which is lethal! It could wipe millions within days!

Health is the most important. Embrace Health today. I strongly encourage all Singaporeans to exercise more regularly, eat more wisely, sleep earlier to live more healthily within these 2 months!

We would not want to be the 40%!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
