My not so daily
entry.
20 April
"Tomorrow you better go get 2 more bags of rice for me. Just in
case the sars make its way to the rice mill. And don't think I'm
joking." I heard my mum drumming all these to my dad.
That was after the news at 6.30pm announced that Pasir Panjang
market would be closed after 2 people there turned into sars
suspects.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to tell all my friends to stock up on rice
also." That's not a joke, I know she's going to do it.
"What are you laughing at?"
I supposed that was directed at me since I was laughing.
"It's very possible hor." She sat down beside me at the dinner
table.
I suppose in a few days time, there would be headines across the
papers reporting the rise in the sale of rice.
Well. Of course it's possible. Anyway, the fact that there are
people suspected with sars at Pasir Panjang market pretty much says
it all.
From all the sars related articles on the papers, I have deduced
that it's actually very safe to be walking around in Singapore
except two places.
Singapore General Hospital and of course, Ground Zero, Tan Tock
Seng Hospital.
And so, when the news broke out at 6.30pm. I was a bit sad: Sars
has made its way out of the containment area.
"There eat more veggies. Good for boosting your immune
system."
If it's really that case, the sars task force would already have
had advertisements flashing on every channel telling us to eat our
veggies.
Right now, I waiting for tomorrow's papers to come out. And hope
that there are less news on sars, for they say," No news is good
news."
