around 3 months ago, KL Central Food Court...
I was eating one plate of blackpepper chicken chop fried rice (for only RM5! and it's delicious too, hehehe) with Mba Winda. we could watch TV from our table and we watched the world news at that time. The news was about the VERY FIRST case of swine flu in singapore. everyone was wearing mask on TV and i felt a little bit scared while watching that. "Do you think this kinda flu will reach malaysia, mba?" i asked. "Hmmm. i dunno. we better just be careful. eat nutritious food, make sure that you have good immunity." that's all she answered. i continued eating my fried rice while still thinking about what i will do if that frikkin flu already reaches malaysia.
just now, faculty of food science, UPM....
we were about to check the colonies of microorganisms that we prepared in petri dishes 7 days ago. it was just 2 pm, while suddenly our lecturer, Dr. Karim said, "attention, please! academic section just asked me to clear our faculty right now, but you all can come back here again at 3 pm for further announcement. thank you!" of course all of us were wondering at that time. the academic section asked us to clear the faculty? this must be a serious problem. all of us then gathered around Dr. Karim to ask him what the problem was, and he said this was related to H1N1 thingy. my friends and i then moved to laman mahasiswa to talk about this while waiting for the announcement. sara, whose dad is working in bendahari upm, said that there were already 400 suspects of H1N1 in UPM. imagine, 400 suspects in ONE university! this is frikkin serious, man. we were 100% sure that UPM would be closed for quarantine. and that's what we got at 3 pm. an announcement on the notice board telling us that UPM will be closed for quarantine started from 28 july to 4 august.
the flu just needs less than three months to spread itself from one country to another. 3 months ago, i didnt think that i would be THIS CLOSE to H1N1. at all. and to tell you the truth, i was a bit panic when my friend told me that there were about 400 suspects of H1N1 in UPM. i mean, at that time, i just felt like i'm lost in a jungle full of lions and tigers, alone without my family by my side (you dont need to tell me. i ALREADY know that i can be super hyperbolic sometimes :D) then i told my cousin who lived here and she asked me to move to her house rightaway for this whole week. she also asked her husband to pick me up at my house because i'm too afraid to go to her house by commuter. it's just too dangerous, too much virus inside the commuters, and we'll never know what kind of virus that is. then when we passed the bus stops around UPM, i saw crowds of people with their luggages and masks on their faces. i just felt like, oh Gosh, what happened to UPM? what's wrong with all these?
hopefully when we all come back on 4th, everything will be okay and back to normal. although i will see people wearing mask around, at least i can feel safe and think that everything will be okay.
please pray for me folks, okay? love ya guys, gonna tell you all the updates soon!
