H1N1

I realized that my limit to work is when I easily become irritated over matters that I normally don't and that I even get pretty hung up over it after the issue is over. That is my limit and that is the time I should be taking my time off to get to somewhere like we call the islands or beach to chill.

I think I am holding on here but I can sense that it is coming. How much longer?

I'm tired with this H1N1 shits. And I am pissed to know that there are still a lot of people out there who does not give a hoot about catching flu or getting a cough. They always act as if everything is like it used to be and whatever cough or flu they caught, it is just another ordinary cough and flu.

I guess a lot of people are still in denial. And they continue taking their health for granted. That it would never be them. Who knows right?

Maybe people may consider me being a kiasu. But honestly, I have nothing to lose as compared to those with families and etc. But I am bothered.

Simply because this is about people and the cause to battling over an epidemic that affects lives. It is those things that could take away a life just like that. Heart pumping, then heart stop pumping. That simple.

"It can't be me," "It is just a flu," "It is just a cough," "It is just another fever." "How can it be me?"

Just like they always say to AIDS, cancer and etc.

And I am pissed also because is has also affected my ability to travel. I feel paranoia about being in a crowded place, confined and knowing the fact that people don't take caution over hygiene and health in Malaysia. Not mentioning KL.

I mean I have people sitting near me in the office coughing openly like it's their absolute right to cough how ever style he wants to. WTF.

Honestly, I wonder what does it take for people to realize the issue? Until their mother, father, sister, brother, aunty, uncle dies from it?

People just have this "tidak apa" attitude.

Oh, I have list and list of things people do that just reflect the amount of effort they take to protect themselves and others. It is as simple as having sex with a stranger you just met over the pub last night and not having condoms on. Just as simple as that.

Denial.

People just want to live in their own world and deny everything. Just everything… Sigh.
