The H1N1 virus is going places within Singapore with the 15th case newly confirmed last weekend. One of the victims took the MRT to see the doctor, which you can either term "inconsiderate" or "practical". Are we alarmed yet that the virus is shaking hands and making its social rounds? In this week's Hit The Streets, we find out.

Germs aren't the only thing that are infectious. Routine is infectious – and our dear Jorge (who is himself infected with a God complex) previews an unusual walking performance Dream-Work that takes you through the ruminations of a commuter who makes her journey to work. Our dear Jorge continues to be bitten by the volunteering bug and got up to some stage management goodness for Rock the Sub last Sat.

Next, Diyana witnesses over 4,000 Singaporeans who were infected with another kind of bug – of the fame variety – and turned up at The Cathay last Sat to audition for the cure. Yes, they are Singapore Idol would-bes, and they have/ don't have fashion sense. Looks like she's got a lot of handwashing to do. She also checks out a Thai fashion showcase fashion incubation project over at Millenia Walk. Neighbours, we love you, but check back next week.

Turning our gaze within the team, our newest recruit Leonard, a JC grad en route to university (he made two pit stops at the army and Youth.SG), reflects on his time hanging out with the mostly-poly team. Stanley carries on with human kindness and continues to give our mystery prizes in this week's Whatever Wed. We check out a spot of mural-painting over at the Youth Olympic Games headquarters.

Matthew is a man with a mission this week. Besides hitting the streets with Jorge for the H1N1 story, he makes a purposeful walk against hunger to raise funds and awareness. Alvin remains our capable photographer trooper who brings in these brilliant photos week after week. As for myself, let's just say I'm glad to have such a great team. I've been infected with gratitude. See you around this week!  LCL
