bird flu worries...
i'm afraid.
the avian flu.
H5N1.
what if it really breaks out?
me and sis here in singapore.
dad, mom and bro in ipoh.
i know i'm worrying needlessly for now, but the thought of dying here in singapore is way too scary.
or the thought of them getting the disease over there and me and sis have to be quarantined in singapore.
sis laughs at these crazy thoughts of mine.
i guess i should laugh them off too.
sis says the more you think about it, the more susceptible you will be to it.
i think she's right in some ways.
this is the first time i worry so much for a potential pandemic, is it a kind of premonition? i didn't feel the least threatened when SARS reigned the region in year 2003. maybe i was still very much in my own world, taking things for granted, especially my family and friends. guess this just shows that i have really grown up? even if i don't show it in my actions. i still act like a kid as some friends tell me. i beg to differ. if i don't act like that, I won't be ME anymore. i'm just trying to lighten things up instead being sombre and serious all the time. is that an accurate explanation of my actions? i don't really think so. there must be something more to my crazy personality that i put up in front of the world. i can't identify it. insecurity? of what? i don't know la.
dear detested avian flu, i admire your ability to adapt to new surroundings and mutate to suit your needs to survive in this world. i just pray that you'll never ever break out as a pandemic and kill the 150 million people that scientists have promised that you would. Amen.
