Singapore's reputed to be that clean city as well as a food paradise. have the two characteristics gone hand in hand? well, i guess we are a relatively clean city which is something to be proud of, but areas such as public toilets and certain hawker centres offer room for improvement.

Some news updates..2 victims have passed away after suffering from severe food poisoning.apparently they both had patronised the Indian rojak food stall at geylang serai. over a hundred people have fallen ill after consuming from the stall and some have been hospitalised. Investigations have shown that it's likely due to the consumption of raw or partially cooked seafood.



It's disturbing news..but it does reflect certain issues worth noting, in particular, our responsibilities as singaporeans and our roles played in society. if we're accountants, we work with integrity and strive to prevent fraud. if we're teachers, we do our best to impart our knowledge to our students while caring for their well-being. Similarly, if we're running a food stall in a hawker centre, we take pride in our work to serve our customers well. all form part of the society jigsaw.

It's also about caring for one another. We wouldn't want another fellow Singaporean to suffer would we? I once had this awful food poisoning experience back in JC. i was eating escargot(a snail dish, haha.)in lemon garlic butter and a beef dish where the beef was cooked with alcohol in some interesting manner. the escargot was alright and the beef was not bad. haha it was my first time eating snails though.yea anyway, i had some really bad food poisoning after the meal, not sure was it the beef or the snails or that beef and snails don't go together. but i ended up ill for the whole week of the march holidays. i still went to school for my cca's camp as i was one of the main organisers but didn't stay overnight as i needed rest at home.

Well i guess everyone makes mistakes, but lets learn from them. Such unfortunate incidents can sometimes be avoided if we play our part, which can actually mean a lot for someone else-enjoying a good meal and week ahead vs. the agony of food poisoning.
