WQ: hahaha u referring to my header ah? that pic was taken a few weeks ago, but i went to add effects to it hahaha.. quite nice right?:P
- a few weeks back, i took a bus to ps to meet jimmy. on my way there, i noticed that whenever i sneezed, this fat guy who was seated beside me turned his head away from me, put his fat finger to his fat nose and gave the oh-no-i’m-gona-kena-h1n1-and-will-someone-get-her-off-the-bus-RIGHT-NOW kinda expression. wtf seriously.
- today i, read a piece of news that was related to h1n1. there was a mini FAQ section and there was there were 2 particular questions that caught my attention:
- Q1: I’m in a crowded MRT train and the person standing in front of me is sneezing. What should i do? Answer – Offer him a clean tissue if he is not using one. Turn your face away when he sneezes. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue. Q2: How far away do i need to be from someone who is sneezing, if i want to be safe if i want to be ‘kiasi’?
- there is already a growing concern among the general public with regards to h1n1, what i think is that the mainstream media is just teaching people to be more and more paranoid and scaring people a bit too unnecessarily. where is the human touch? where is the unity that is so needed esp in the face of crisis? instead of asking people to shun anyone who sneezes, y not teach/remind people to keep themselves healthy by eating well and resting properly to boost their immune system? teach people about social responsibility rather than to discriminate.
