Station Toilet Details
  • Location: Concourse level, near Exit C (walking towards HarbourFront Centre / bus terminal direction). [1]
  • Facilities: Includes standard and handicap-accessible stalls.
  • Hygiene & Tips: While the station itself is a major, modern North East and Circle Line interchange, public reviews on the station restroom cleanliness can vary during peak hours. [1, 2]
  • Better Alternative: Because the station connects directly to VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre, many commuters prefer walking a short distance into the adjacent malls (such as VivoCity Basement 2 via Exit E) for cleaner, more modern restroom facilities. [1, 2, 3]

  • Floor Care: Sweeps and mops wet or dry restroom floors to ensure they are slip-resistant and clean.
  • Restocking Supplies: Refills toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, and replaces bin liners.
  • Waste Management: Empties litter bins and manages female sanitary disposal bins.

  • Upholding National Standards: Follows National Environment Agency (NEA) guidelines, which recommend high-frequency cleaning (such as half-hourly during peak periods in heavy-traffic locations) and updating inspection logs

VIDEO PROMPT — CALLS OF THE BLACK-NAPED ORIOLE

Format: Vertical 9:16 | Photorealistic wildlife documentary | 4K | Natural Singapore environment | Realistic bird movement and human interaction | Duration 45–60 seconds

LOCATION & TIME:
Singapore — 26 September 2026, 1:19 PM. Seletar Simpang Kiri River. Use the uploaded river-bank photograph as the visual reference for the environment: calm river, dense tropical vegetation, tall grasses, broad leaves, overhanging branches and natural reflections on the water.

Use the uploaded Black-naped Oriole photograph as the exact visual reference for the bird's appearance.

CHARACTERS

Grandpa David Sing: Chinese male, 76 years old, tall, bespectacled, short grey hair, wearing a plain white T-shirt, black long pants and white shoes. He carries a Canon R5 camera with a zoom lens.

Ya Ya: Chinese girl, 7 years old, double-pleated hairstyle, orange T-shirt, dark green pants and white shoes.

They are walking slowly along the river bank together, quietly observing wildlife and practising nature photography.


SHOT 1 — ESTABLISHING THE RIVER

0–7 sec

Wide vertical cinematic shot of the Seletar Simpang Kiri River based on the uploaded reference photograph.

Dense tropical vegetation frames the calm water. Tall grasses and broad leaves move gently in the afternoon breeze. Natural ambient sounds: soft breeze, insects, distant birds and subtle water movement.

Grandpa David and Ya Ya walk slowly along the river bank.

Camera: slow handheld documentary-style push-in, shallow natural depth of field.


SHOT 2 — SPOTTING THE ORIOLE

7–16 sec

Grandpa suddenly stops and looks upward into the leafy canopy.

He gently raises his Canon R5 with zoom lens, pointing toward a yellow bird partially hidden among the branches.

Ya Ya follows his gaze.

Grandpa David, softly:
“Ya Ya, look up there. Can you see the yellow bird?”

Cut to a telephoto view through the foliage.

Reveal a Black-naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis) perched on a branch.

The bird has a brilliant golden-yellow body, contrasting black wings and tail, a broad black mask extending from the eyes toward the nape, a pinkish-red bill and dark reddish eyes.


SHOT 3 — THE ORIOLE CALL

16–27 sec

Close telephoto wildlife shot.

The Black-naped Oriole remains perched among green leaves. It turns its head, opens its bill and produces a clear, loud, liquid, flute-like whistle.

The call should sound natural and unmistakably like an oriole—not like a human whistle or artificial bird sound.

Show subtle movements of the throat and bill as it calls.

Leaves gently sway around the bird.

Natural audio: make the oriole's flute-like call the dominant sound, with the riverbank ambience remaining softly underneath.


SHOT 4 — GRANDPA EXPLAINS

27–38 sec

Medium shot of Grandpa David and Ya Ya looking upward.

Grandpa lowers the camera slightly and speaks quietly so they do not disturb the bird.

Grandpa David:
“Its flute-like whistle can be heard before you see it.”

Ya Ya listens carefully, smiling and looking into the canopy.

Cut back to the oriole calling from its concealed position.


SHOT 5 — LISTEN BEFORE YOU SEE

38–50 sec

Telephoto shot through layers of leaves.

The Black-naped Oriole briefly hops along the branch, partially disappears behind foliage, then reappears.

Its golden-yellow plumage catches patches of sunlight.

The bird calls again.

Ya Ya whispers:

“I can hear it!”

Grandpa smiles.

Grandpa David:
“Exactly. Listen first—and then look for it.”


FINAL SHOT — WILDLIFE & FAMILY

50–60 sec

Vertical wide shot combining the peaceful river, dense greenery and the two wildlife photographers standing quietly together.

Cut to the Black-naped Oriole high in the canopy for one final flute-like call.

TEXT OVERLAY

“Ya Ya, listen to the flute-like whistling sounds of the BLACK-NAPED ORIOLE!”

6877. Earthlinks.net and uploading

 

HTML editor Earthlinks and FTP

How do I upload the html file in Earthlinks to toapayohvets.com?  

Yes. If you have EarthLink Web Hosting for toapayohvets.com, the easiest way to upload your HTML file is through EarthLink's File Manager. You do not need to use FTP for a single HTML file. 

Method 1 — EarthLink File Manager 

  1. Go to EarthLink Control Center and sign in. EarthLink says website files are managed through the Control Center.  

  1. Look for Advanced Tools.  

  1. Open File Manager.  

  1. You should see the folders/files belonging to your website.  

  1. Find the directory that contains your current website. For EarthLink hosting, the web directory is commonly /public when using FTP.  

  1. Open the appropriate website directory.  

  1. Click Upload.  

  1. Click Browse, select your HTML file on your Windows 11 computer, and click Upload. EarthLink's File Manager specifically supports uploading files from your computer this way.  

Important: your homepage 

If your new page is intended to replace the homepage, the file should normally be named: 

index.html 

For example: 

/public/ 
   index.html 
   about.html 
   contact.html 
   images/ 
       dog.jpg 
       cat.jpg 

Then: 

should load index.html. 

If your file is called home.html, for example, you would normally access it as: 

If your HTML uses images 

This is particularly important if you have created the Toa Payoh Vets site with a visual HTML editor. 

If your HTML contains something like: 

<img src="images/dog.jpg"> 

you must also upload the images folder and its contents, preserving the same folder structure on EarthLink. 

Otherwise the webpage will appear but the photographs will show as broken images. 

Method 2 — FileZilla 

If you have many HTML pages and photographs, FileZilla is probably easier. EarthLink provides FTP access and documents these settings: 

  • Port: 21  

  • Password: your EarthLink hosting password  

  • Transfer mode: Passive  

  • Remote website directory: /public  

You can then drag your website files from your computer into the remote /public folder. 

 

I recommend doing this before replacing your existing site 

Because toapayohvets.com is already an established website, don't immediately overwrite the existing index.html. 

First, download/back up the existing website files. EarthLink's File Manager supports downloading files and its documentation recommends using backups when working on a site.  

If you want, tell me what you see after you log into EarthLink Control Center (or send me a screenshot), and I can walk you through exactly which button/folder to click to upload your new HTML file without damaging the existing Toa Payoh Vets website.
