Doesnt matter the color, so long it works well.

I dont see many people in the Singapore street wearing pink mask tho, so its sort of like one of a kind on its own....hehehe...

I threw away that Hello Kitty bag somewhere last year (or was it the year before last?) due to wear and tear. I bought it in Batam few years ago when there was a stall just outside Nagoya Hill Mall back entrance that sell lots of Hello Kitty theme stuffs,hehehe...

Brought back some memories (Hello Kitty bag).

Nowaday rarely go shop within Nagoya Hill Mall, so not sure if that Hello Kitty theme shop still around.

The only usefulness is to avoid those sick spread around their micro-drops of water when they cough.
I want to be even more clear:
1) There is NO REASON to rush buying masks
2) Doing that is not only useless, but it also damages the community, because it subtracts resources to those who really need masks (including professional health care personnel and sick people, or people suspected to be sick)
3) You may legitimately doubt of what some Mr. Black Page writes on a forum, but this is what the US CDC Atlanta states in its FAQs:
CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory viruses, including 2019-nCoV. A facemask should be used by people who have been exposed to 2019-nCoV and are showing symptoms of 2019 novel coronavirus. This is to protect others from the risk of getting infected.

Aye aye sir...fully agreed with you...wearing masks dun reduce the risks of contracting coronavirus...

Wear a mask when unwell to prevent passing to others...

My friends bought 20 boxes at $2 to $3 per box of 50 in hcm...now cost $20 to $50 per box...anywhere friends helped those who cannot buy masks now by giving out free to locals around him...

I put both hand and leg to agree. Wear only u are unwell to prevent passing to other.

However, some see other wear they themsleve scare go wear also. Monkey see monkey do.

Some will said all other country people all wear. Don't act hero dont wear.

Don't waste resource. If one day really need, nobody will help you.

Closest place where one can get online is at Sushi Tei restaurant, 5 mins walk from the hotel. At least BCC still state on their signs where can get online taxi,hehehe...

Practically most hotels around BCS do not allow online taxi (except Swiss inn).

Nice video posted. Luckily none of the places i regularly visit is in it,hehehe...eg, Gold Bird aka Hai Lai.

The whole video tells any readers the almost same thing i said before. Go to Utama Hotel, walk one round (for about 25 mins),hehehe...thats Batam beginner 101.
