" Singapore has confirmed its first case of a locally-transmitted Zika virus, which has been linked to microcephaly, the health ministry said. A 47-year-old woman working in the city-state was confirmed with the virus, but was "well and recovering". As she had not traveled to Zika-affected areas recently, she was likely to have been infected in Singapore, the ministry said in a statement. "
Infected locally is a BIG concern because : " The virus can be transmitted from human to human by the bites of infected female mosquitoes, primarily Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. During the first week of infection, Zika virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to another mosquito through mosquito bites " http://www.zikavirusnet.com/transmission.html
This means they are other carriers in Singapore... and sooner they will be carriers here. Generally, among the 24 hours in a day, apart from workplace, we spend most time at home. So, make sure your home has been designed/installed with some preventive measures... or alternatively stay at least 150 feet above ground level.. ;)
OMG, it is spreading further & further from Brazil & now Singapore is not spared.Quote:

There's a water cut in USJ2, maybe other parts too. Anyone knows when it'll be restored?
Checked Syabas' website but no such announcement, called them & was put on hold. Emailed them but no reply!
Unscheduled water disruption at Petaling due to SIME UEP Reservoir Level Drop. Affected area: USJ 1 until USJ 15. Estimate recovery: TBA.
Latest info as at 10.44am - Estimate recovery time: 12.00am (midnight) - 30/8/2016). We apologies on the inconvenience caused. Thank you.

I find certain essential products and goods a tad cheaper at Tesco franchise shop at Taipan than Speedmart99. Just that parking may not be as convenient. I go after 10pm, whereas SP99 close sharp 10pm. Not huge savings but beneficial for people like me who have to save every sen. Good to look out for anywhere that I can save and not cut back or deprive myself too much.
If I tar pow Nasi Kandar from PJ for 2, there will be extra curry gravy (I usually pack back a bit extra from self service since NK towkay know me and don't mind). Don't throw away, I will buy Roti Canai or plain Nan for dinner nearby..a few pieces for us and have that same NK curry with it. Its lovely to eat. I only eat rice meal once a day and avoid all roadside fried foods. They are NOT cheap anyway. Roti Canai could be even cheaper. Seems to keep my BP under control.
I buy wholesale Chee cheong Fun (pack of 10pcs) for about RM2 something at Old PJ Market wholesaler shop. Works out to be 20something SEN per piece. That shop got all ingredients there for the taking. Up to you. I make my own sauce (cost next to nothing), roast some sesame seeds, fry shallot oil, sesame seed oil, then garnish all for a nice dinner for 2.. How much it cost outside for that same plate? RM3 and above now. Expensive breakfast meal!
I can and will cook up Spaghetti Bolognese for my family (4-5pax) all for around cost of RM30 or less, including meat and other ingredients. My family loves it all...I get a lot for RM30..and that include extra helpings. My son can finish 2 plates easily. Me too. Actually, the Bolognese gravy should be kept overnight than eating right after cooking, it tastes better. Top with grated Parmesan cheese for cheesier taste..I put a lot..buy from nearest bakery supplies..cheaper than supermarket by 30%.
I'm NO expert in saving cost..but I think I've done right so far...Home DIY cooking DOES save money!..just a matter of the will and effort to cook your own and use prime ingredients. We really don't know what we're eating outside. Enough horror stories to be told or heard. Not just a matter of "ignorance is bliss". Not to me anyhow.
Zika is here now.
1st case reported in Klang... just half an hour drive from Usj.. :eek:
You are right. We really don't know what we are eating outside and this include your nasi kandar, roti canai and the curry gravy you pack extra to bring home. I think you should make your own roti canai and nasi kandar at home since there are so many horror stories..Quote:

Thank God I didn't suffer from any side effects so far and my health is in check. I admit I DO NOT use toilet paper but have DIY bidet accessory installed in every bathroom and all use it everytime. Then wash my hands with a RM2.60 hand wash detergent from Tesco. I only buy rolls of toilet paper specifically for my DIY engineering works. 1 carton last me for more than a year. Lastly, No..I can't make my own Roti Canai or NK. I don't have that skill or the flat pan to cook it.Quote:

Since you eloquently said " we really don't know what we are eating outside", you should make your own food especially your roti canai, nasi kandar and also the curry gravy.Quote:

Aiya, I like my breakfast of roti/teh tarik + 1 banana of RM$1.00 each in Devi's Corner in Bangsar whenever I am in KL.:D
Now have to think twice:eek:
Think twice is not good enuf lah..Quote:

Not everyone is as strong as bslee, ok !! ;)
True, true, I will seriously think about this roti thingyQuote:
