Sengkang General Hospital’s Community Health Fair

I was invited to attend the Sengkang General Hospital’s Community Health Fair which was held at Compass One. The agenda of this event was to celebrate an important milestone in the construction of the Sengkang General and Community Hospitals, and to move one step closer to its opening in 2018.

The residents in Sengkang can look forward to a high quality Hospital, with an experienced team of healthcare professionals that are equipped with the latest technology. 

 Healthy habits should start from young, and those who started early will continue to reap the benefits of good health as they move on to their adulthood. I was glad to see many parents had brought their kids to explore the health fair, and to understand the importance of healthy lifestyle habits and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

This health fair themed 'Prepare. Prevent. Protect' is one such effort to spread the healthy living message to the community. The fair highlights the importance of preventive care and management of conditions such as cancer, diabetes, frailty, fall prevention and dementia through booth exhibitions and activities. 


The 'Preventing Cancers' Zone featured an extensive guide on preventive care exhibits on cancer preventions, treatments and identifying at-risk signs for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer. 


I played a game on using a dissection machine,  and it is typically used to remove tissues using water jets. 


The 'Beating Diabetes' Zone offered information on recognising the signs and symptoms on diabetes, and on the various ways to prevent it. 

I also participated in the booth game to discover the sugar content in our common everyday food choices, and to find out on how much exercise is needed to burn it off. 


The Public are encouraged to pen down their wishes for the upcoming hospitals on the 'Well Wishes' Tree!



We were given an activity card, and we can get a stamp once you have visited the exhibit booth! Once you have completed the activity card with 4 stamps, you can redeem a goodies bag! 


I enjoyed the fair very much as it was a great day out of fun and I learnt more about health-related information. Thanks for the invite, and I look forward to its opening, with all the new facilities under one roof!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder.

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.
