This is a good reminder. Not to be overly-confident. Hence i need to trend carefully when borders eventually open up.

Perhaps i have to be EVEN more careful?

I choose to skip the UV sterilizing discussion part because i already made my point in other post/s. It's a choice. My choice.

A plate of chicken rice has x amount of calories online, it may not mean all chicken rice stall sells them with that same amount of calories. Sometime one will need to use his/her own judgement to evaluate a situation if things would eventually work out.

Everything has its strength and weakness, just like everyone doing their own precautions during their travel to Batam.

No one, i believe will be able to stay inside their hotel with their girls round the clock. They have to go out somehow, to eat, to board the ferry, to collect their meals/room key/boarding pass, get some entertainment,to get a girl into their room from somewhere etc. The whole thing about this covid prevention thingy is more about trying to keep myself as safe, as possible (in Batam).

Mask is becoming like condom nowaday,hehehe...no one's comfortable wearing it. But it serve some % level of protection. Yes, just like condom dont cover anyone 100% from virus/bacteria as well (not even close to 98%). i am not saying its protection isnt 100%, so we shouldnt use them...nothing really is 100% but even if it doesnt, most are going to in one way or another needs those "protection",arent it?

I am not just implying solely on mask/condom alone.

Peak time MRT in Singapore is maybe not less dangerous than Newton...
In Singapore, everyone taking the MRT have to wear a mask. In fact, anyone who steps out of home...needs to put on a mask, by law. Its now punishable by law thing if one dont wear a mask in public places in Singapore.

Therefore, in Newton...it is also advisable to put on a "condom" aka mask, to keep up with that particular certain % level of protection. Yes, its a hassle but why not turn a hassle into something trendy? Something that can bring some added "advantages".


All were just but a matter of habit.

Every % level of safety counts in an epidemic.

Hehehe...and by the way, the mask above and below cost around a juta.


...and claim to have more than 90% BFE too. (Bacteria filtration efficiency)

Not selling to you.
