A young dance instructor, experiencing cramps and aches in her stomach thought that it was a minor stomach virus and didn't pay much attention to it.
Little did she knew that she was hit by a very strong strain of the E.Coli bacteria, aka, O157:H7 strain. The 0157:H7 E.Coli bacteria strain, if untreated, can lead to severe diarrhoea and even kidney failure. In the case of the young dance instructor, it lead to paralysis waistdown as it'd severely damaged the central nervous system of this young lady, Miss Smith.
The cause was traced to a dinner of "ground beef" the family had prepared in 2007, meat grounded by a certain grounding house factory.
To completely remove E.Coli from food, it is advised to cook meats and vegetable to a temperature of 72 degrees celsius for at least 15 seconds. This method has been tested to successfully eradicate any traces of E.Coli from cooked meats and vegetables.

Did you know you can call HDB to clean your ****?
After Nathaniel was born, Mrs Neo, in her confinement holiday of 4 months, spent a great deal of time at home.
In this period, she saw that the parapet area, where the aircon compressor was installed, is getting very dirty and was blocking the hole that was meant to allow water to seep through.
She called the local town council and they sent their contractor to clean up the parapet area for free!
I believe they are obliged to do this as water clogging will damage the cement which was outside the flat and it was too dangerous for house owners themselves to clean it.

Just bought a nice bag that has a funny print for my wife
On the bag, there is a badge that says [ILOVEUCB]
Saw the bag in Thailand Bangkok Airport.
Bought it..
This funny tag which says ILOVEUCB will be very ambiguous especially for Singaporeans..

UCB actually means United Colors of Benetton but apparently, most Singaporeans will think otherwise!
