h1n1, school, RIP Michael Jackson

Helllo. I'm back to school now. Giant sigh.

Right. So. Urm.

Let us begin with the beloved H1N1. It is still a big issue here in Singapura, the stupid country which thinks that they could still stop the spread of the flu by quarantining people who just came back to countries which are considered "danger zones", like the US, UK, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, and so on. What a lot of smart people (like me) would say, is that why don't they check the people in Changi airport? Well, yes, the virus need like a week to show symptom and to actually be active, but still. I think it's very foolish to quarantine people, especially in this hostel, where they can go around very easily and without proper watching and all? I mean, one of the hostelites went to Thailand and she was quarantined on the 4th floor, and no one was to interact with her. What did she do? Went to a walk up and down the slope out there, studied in the common study room, and went around the hostel as if nothing happens. Right. So much for cautionary quarantine.

And then, some schools in SG have been closed or extended the holidays because a lot of the students from that school have been infected with the virus. (Un)Fortunately, CHIJ Secondary Toa Payoh does not. Instead, to prevent the spread, they cancelled the assembly, the cross-country event which is actually the sports day (I just knew it today), meaning we bought the house t-shirts to not be worn on any events at school, and also they cancelled the Youth Day mass, or you can say all the meetings and gatherings. Right. And they did not close the canteen, where people gather to eat and a lot of other people would be sitting on the chairs and the tables which have been used by other people, and don't you think that will be a grreat place for the virus to go around and find other victims?

Singapore is a very weird country.

Hmm, and then I can say that I have begun to be a little more diligent and hard-working than before, which is good, cos I know that I've been slacking during the first half of the year and now I am very very afraid that I won't do well in the O's. Cereally. So I'm trying to revise everyday, at least for an hour or so. Let's hope I can hold on to this.

Then, I am really really missing my fam now, which is quite a big problem.

Yeah, so that's it I think. Oh and I am really loving twitter at the moment, I am updating very often there cos it's like, I've got nothing to do, and it's really fun to stalk other people and get updated with stuff like the news and health tips and discount infos. hahas.

Oh and lastly, Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson, your Heal The World is now one of my super favourite song which got me crying on the day you passed away. You are a great man, and the title really suits you. I also want to live in Neverland, I am sure everyone do, and thank you so so much to try to make this world a better place for us to live in. All the best for you, wherever you are now, I am sure you are happy and free, and know that a LOT of people are missing you here. GOD bless. AMEN.
