"I first had an inkling that I might have contract

"I first had an inkling that I might have contracted dengue fever when I started to experience severe body aches all over. I didn’t have any other common cold symptoms like a sore throat or cough so I didn’t think it was a cold or flu. In addition to deep muscle aches I also started to get pain in my eye sockets and headaches – all of which I had read can be dengue symptoms. The area we live in is a high-risk dengue zone, so this added to my suspicions.⁠
I’m in my second trimester so I was nervous for my own health and the safety of my baby and decided to go to a 24-hour clinic as I had symptoms over a weekend. I asked to be tested for dengue fever but unfortunately, the doctor did not take my symptoms seriously and sent me home saying I had a common cold.⁠
My symptoms persisted so I went to IMC where they tested me for dengue. It wasn’t long before the results came in – and as I had suspected it came back positive for dengue fever. I was immediately sent to A&E as a precaution because of my pregnancy and as my blood pressure was very low.⁠
I know that 99% of dengue cases are not severe like mine was and that doctors just wanted to keep a close eye on me and my baby to be able to catch any complications early. I was given fluids through a drip and also given dopamine for low blood pressure. There is no real medication you can take to “cure” dengue – generally treatments are mostly supportive and include taking paracetamol, resting and taking LOTS of fluids.⁠
Physically, having dengue fever was exhausting. The body aches are something I have never felt before (except in labour) – intense! This is my first experience with dengue, and it has been three weeks now since I contracted it. I’m only now getting my energy back, and my only lingering symptom has been the constant lethargy..."⁠

Where do you think this dazzling display of rainbo

Where do you think this dazzling display of rainbow lights is located? Hint: Spot the dome in the back! Rainbow Connection II is made up of 500 suspended solar light modules made from upcycled cookie containers and solar lights! The installation (now on till 29 May) is by local artist Lee Yun Qin and individuals from underserved communities as a collaboration between @nhb_sg x @malayheritage.
