reality strikes

there is a chinese saying that goes "针不刺到肉, 不会痛"... loosely translated as you will not feel the pain till the needle pricks you.

never really felt how H1N1 affects you mentally until it really hits you! a colleague of mine got confirmed of H1N1 today. so a frenzy started within the office with temperature taking everytime you step into the office, disinfecting the office, checking out what are the next steps and of course everyone turning paranoid!!!

most of us were not in the mood to work today. on one hand we are worried about our colleague, on the other, we are worried about ourselves.

well, life goes on... so now i am definitely more concern about hygiene...went straight to the bathroom when i return home, wash the clothes i wore today immediately and ensure ample use of hand sanitizer and of course keeping track of my temperature. keeping my fingers crossed that that will be the one and only case happening near me!
