Swine flu, everybody is talking about it.
I can see why the authority is taking is so seriously, because apparently this flu is contagious even before obvious symptoms like fever appear, which makes it more difficult to contain the movment of people who might have catch the virus.
Was talking to Silin last night asking her about how's her cough, this girl has been coughing and as according to her that she cough till she cannot even speak in complete sentences. And told her about the swine flu and the may day article I read about on the papers.
She commented that I said as if the swine flu would definitely hit Singapore.
I told her, as a matter of fact, it is not surprising if it hit Singapore, it is just a matter of time, given that the accessibilty of different countries as compare to the past, and the nature of this virus, an outbreak is nothing surprising or to "choy" about.
As for May Day, it was a prediction by the NASA, not from me and it was in the Straits Time, meaning the information cannot go too wrong and frankly speaking, we all would walk to that point someday in time, since we are born we are all walking towards the end of life, so it is nothing to be so inauspicious to talk about.
Kinda depressing huh?
I guess, we can only try our best, and hope for the best. Was telling her that the swine flu we can only get ready and for May Day, we can only hope that by then, the scientists has discovered something that would help to counter the effect brought about by the solar storm.
And I suddenly realized that it has been really THAT long since I ever had a proper nice chat with her, seems that we are not that close anymore.
And I guess...
People tend to be closer when they fight hand in hand together, like how I used to know everything about Mac and Nadiah.
Though I miss those times, but I guess...
That is another part and parcel of life, people walk in and out all the time.
