Sea-fresh water

Your weekly wuzzup!!! from UCreateChange.com Hey all, Malaysia's got its first case of Swine Flu (or the more politically correct H1N1 virus). It's just a matter of time before it comes to Singapore. As Douglas Adams would say, "DON'T PANIC!" The mortality rate is incredibly low and it resembles your standard flu -- just that it comes from pigs. You can stave it off by getting plenty of exercise, sleep, water and good food. If all else fails, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". In other news, head south to the Marina Barrage with your picnic basket. It's an amazing feat of environmental architecture where Marina Bay is sectioned off and turned into a freshwater reservoir for this city. Plus, it looks nice at sunset. Get there before the gamblers when the casinos open! See you soon at UCreateChange.com! Your Friendly Change Champ, E.

Don't Miss... 5 future visions These guys in the 60s & 70s, and even the 1930s, made predictions about the future. It's surprising how many of them actually came true! What say you? (Read visions by 5 futurologists)

And putting together a building that resembles an inverted Ming vase with a skin of green grass ranks highly on our list of weird buildings.

Apparently it won a bunch of engineering awards and the creators are manufacturing cheaply. (Here's how it works)    Plants in a bomb Every air-dropped capsule is a mixture of bio-degradable materials, customised botanicals and green thumbs. It's still a little wonky but it's a great combination of engineering ideas. (Would you bomb desserts with plants?)
