H1N1 Outbreak

In this widely spreading outbreak, personally I feel only aggravated by people stubbornly going overseas to high-risk countries (such as the US and several others), there lies a great hope to Singapore students that there may be a closing of all schools in Singapore. For me, that will not only mean no school, it will mean quite a big chunk of boarding would have to be refunded as well. :D Yup, so hope that this happens (without the loss of lives, of course). In much more recent news, today, there was an article in the Straits Times (I wonder why it wasn't on the front page, but then again I guess rioters in the Middle East get higher priority, lol) reporting that an additional 13 cases had been confirmed over the weekend. Out of these one included a 17-year-old RI(JC) girl. Apparently, a certain wedding in Melbourne caused 6 out of the total of 13 cases confirmed. That's also bad news because my sister stays in Melbourne, and so does many more of my relatives.

Nowadays, it is really dangerous to go overseas, not just because of the countries you go to, but because on aeroplanes, you can't really be sure whether or not the dude next to you comes from Mexico or something. I feel quite sorry for air stewards/stewardesses but I guess they would be armed with hand sanitizers of ultimate bacteria cleansing and all wear microfiltration face masks.

Still, we have to keep these people in prayer. Not just the people we know, but I guess the whole of Singapore. For me, those related to me would be my family members in Melbourne, and the RI(JC) girl. Same school, so you can't shy away from that affiliation. I wonder what our Principal will say at the start of school (or perhaps she'll be in the JC side, in which case I wonder what our SDHM will say). I'm still in hopes of school closing down, although it is a rather selfish hope. And it's rather fat too, seeing as the outbreak doesn't seem to be incurable anymore, unlike the SARS Pandemic we had all those years ago. It'll probably be like Bird Flu, without any disruptions in lessons because it wasn't that "outbreak"ish.

In any case, keep your heads high, and look out for people who look like pigs, make oink oink noises, have curly tails, wear pink clothing and are fat, those people are probably those you have to be extra careful with, just in case they may have contracted the flu. No, I'm kidding. You only have to watch out for yourself and make sure you don't get it, from anyone. It could be anyone. Earthling, Moon-men, Martian, Monkey, Pig, Autobot, Decepticon, Angels & Demons. By the way, the new movie is totally crap. They should stop making silly Dan Brown movies when Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is going to rock the sales tenfold! :D (although I have this feeling that sequels don't seem as good as the original)

Perhaps we might have a scheduled mass school outing to visit the sick RIJC girl in hospital :O What a dumb thought.

More seriously, I have put up two more videos on YouTube and these two are the first two episodes of Code Geass Abridged! ... without any voice-overs. I'm not really expecting you to like it, it's pretty much low-class using Windows Movie Maker, so...
