Temperature Screening

Do you know what this is? It is a board with a lot of stickers on them.

At the hospitals, visitors need to have their temperature taken and a sticker given with the date recorded on the stickers when one do not have the fever. (Each day the stickers will be different colour.) They then are allowed to go up to the wards/clinics.

After visiting, visitors can throw the stickers away in bins or stick to the board for disposal. This is to discourage people from pasting the stickers all over the place.

Since SARS, we have measures to prevent virus from spreading to the community.

Now with the H1N1, we have the same measures too. How far could we control the flu from spreading to the community? I am keeping my fingers crossed very hard that the flu wont spread around. Hope the vaccine will be found soon.

Everyone can help control the flu with some advices from the health minsitry of your country.

Those interested can view these advices from our crisis official website in here.

Please share with the world, what measures/control does your country take.

Fort Canning Park - Part 2

Continuing from yesterday's post, near the entrance of the Fort Canning Park, is this little Spice Garden. It is so interesting, I wish I got more time to explore the area.


Displays of some of the spices from the plants found in the garden.

Exhibits of the plants. I simply dont have the time to take closer shot of the exhibits cause the whole group is waiting for me to finish my photography...lol.

This one is really very interesting. Never see a nutmeg tree before.

Closer look at the nutmeg on display.

Rows and rows of nutmeg trees.

Geez, I really wish I got more time to explore all this wonders in the park.

Fort Canning Park - Part 1

This is Fort Canning Park. I just visited the entrance of the park, did not really venture right into it cause I was on another appointment and there were more than 10 people with me. They dont have the patience to accompany me into the park...lol.

The gate in gothic style lead the visitor into the park, where a Christian cemetery used to stand. Built in 1846, these gates have since become landmarks of Fort Canning Hill. Note the letters above both gates - IHS - standing for Iota Heta Sigm , the first three letters of the Greek word for Jesus. You can read more about it in here.

There are plenty of greenery around the entrance and more inside the park.

I love this huge bird nest fern.



Saw these white little flowers in the background they are Vinca Rosea. Their leaves are used as anti cancerous agent. Did not have the close up photo of the white flower (they did not turn out clear.)

More photos on the spice garden tomorrow.

Pink Saturday-Pink Bags

My contribution for pink saturday are these lovely bags that I got it free from my sister. She got so many free bags from the cosmetics shop that she used to patronize. I have more free bags from shopping sprees and friends too. :) And not forgetting free travel bags from travel agents when I go travelling, so I ended up giving away a lot of the travelling bags to my friends/relatives....lol. Some of the bags are very pretty and some are very useful while some are so small.

And these cute purse and pouches are from Japan, gifts from my sister from her holiday in Japan. Seems like I dont have to buy any handbags for a long time...lol.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.
