Slacking at home
As usual, I am currently slacking at home while trying to find a job of suitability. With this hot weather, staying at home seems impossible because it is really humid and hot. No use switching on the fan because it doesn't really help. I think I will go library to enjoy the air-conditional and look for books to read to get my brain working. I am afraid that slacking too long at home and not using any brain would cause a mental slow down.
Talking about going to the library, the H1N1 virus has made many public places start taking down contacts of people when they enter the building. Why did I say this? Because the library is doing it. Every person who enters the library has to have their NRIC or library card scanned or else you will be denied of entering the premise. So those who are planning to go to the public library, remember to bring along your library card or personal identification card. I heard that even the HDB is doing this as well. Haiz....this H1N1 virus has caused many inconveniences and scare to many people around the world.
Can you imagine 80% of the news reported these days are about H1N1 virus? I know that it is a serious matter, but too many reports on it have become 'news unworthy.' This scare has also cause many people to eat less pork. Even though the news have clarified that H1N1 virus will not be transmitted through eating pork, people are still afraid of eating it which has caused the sales of pork to drop. With the bad economic crisis, people have been eating less outside. Now with this new virus going around the world, I guess even lesser people will be eating out and I am not sure how the hawkers, restaurants and cafes are going to survive this.
Singapore has yet to have any cases of it (I hope that we will not have any cases at all), but the government is taking very precautionary measures to deal with this recent virus because of the SARS virus that we had encountered years ago. The SARS virus that hit here has caused a number of death cases in Singapore, and put many people in quarantine. I understand why Singapore is reacting in this way, but at times I find that it is a little overdone.
