Everyone's talking about it, even though it hasn't really affect Singapore or rather 'yet' i suppose since WHO raises the alert level to five this morning. However, business in my company is badly affected. The rumours and speculations came true yesterday evening when big boss announced the future plans and the possible measures that MIGHT be taken.

I don't feel easy. In fact, it's uncomfortable. Times are bad enough, given the surprise appearance of Swine flu, the future of this industry seems dim. I've been receiving calls on checking about where and how Swine flu are affecting certain travel destinations. Some funnier customers even ask would i know when the Swine flu will stop. It was made as though i'm the one spreading the Swine flu. But frankly speaking, this Swine flu seems much more dangerous than SARS. It's not only more contagious, it can make an affected person infectious even before his or her symtoms appear. But nevertheless, we all pray that it won't be as worse as the Spanish flu which happens in 1918 that killed tons of people. Travelling seems more dangerous now. That makes my job stability even worse. More about Swine Flu can be found in this website. (http://www.crisis.gov.sg/flu/).

It's hard juggling between school and work and for that fact, i've duly decided to drop one module. Unwillingly, i had to conform to the fact that those classmates of mine who's intending to drop are dropping module which i very much wanted to take. But then again, i'll see how things goes come 8 May when my results is released. I had actually wanted to change my course/school upon someone's reccomendation and i almost did. Much after much consideration, i decided to stay. But i wonder sometimes, it's so hard to communicate with some of my classmates. Never mind that i had to single-handedly do a group project for one of the module previously, probably with the help of one of the group members only.

Sometimes, i was wondering. Probably it's the personality. I can talk just about anything under the sun to some people, but towards some, it's so difficult to find a topic or conversing that him or her. No blaming them of course. Probably, it's something i learnt that human tend to have selective exposure - they only feel comfortable towards certain personality of people. I feel like giving up already.
