but is anyone else as surprised as me that sg hasn't had the H1N1 bug hitting its shores yet? When I learnt that HK had its first case, the first thing that came to mind was "Next stop: Singapore." And then it hit what, South Korea? Then Japan, then Beijing, then even our northern neighbour. And sg is still untouched?!
I don't for a moment think that the temperature screenings and quarrantines and the "efficient mobilisation of our defenses and the cooperation of the nation blahblahblah" actually had a role to play in this miss so far. I mean, none of the quarrantined buggers from Mexico were sick, and all those tested because of suspicious symptoms and sucky travel histories returned cleanly. So for some reason, the bug has apparently never hit our shores, despite Changi being a travel hub. (hub hub hub hub hub...) Amazing, eh?
Latest figures here. And if you haven't seen this, I think you ought to, too. (Even if the video's slightly outdated by now, but its thrust remains true.)

She takes great pleasure in learning beautiful things like languages, the workings of the amazing human body and the evil microbes in our midst, etc. The latter two sometimes makes her rather disturbing company, unfortunately. She often pokes fun at herself, loves a challenge, can be unflinchingly (stupidly) stubborn and often alternates between taking herself overly seriously and not at all. Ger may be found in extremes of intense activity or mindless drift. Much to her detriment, ger is also a master procrastinator who never finishes anyth-
