我们都是人。
是的，我相信在读我的blog的，都是人。
每一个人都是独一无二的。打从我们吸入第一口空气，世界上就没有另一个人和我们完全相同。我不否认一些人会和我们有一丝丝共同点。那是免不了的。
比如说，我懒惰。相信世界上还有很多懒惰之辈。
可是他们之中绝对没有一个人和我一模一样。从外到内，从头到脚，再多的相似处，也不会完全一样。
很多人都想做特别的人。
特别出名的人、特别聪明的人、特别有钱的人、特别无聊的人……
他们努力地把自己装得特别。从打扮到性格，都向着特别的方向走。是以，世界上出现了很多让人跌眼睛的fashion，很多啦啦仔，很多化装化到像鬼那样，头发五颜六色……
其实每一个人本来就是特别的。不需要为了特别而故意改变特别的自己。因为特别这个东西，并不是越加越特别的，有时候是负负得正的。当你有一个特别特别的东西，你再为它改装成特别，它真的成了特别特别特别的东西吗？那是画蛇添足。它都已经特别了，你再加上去，就只是多余的，会有反效果。
有人会不同意我这个说法。如果他不是画蛇添足，而是画龙点睛呢？是不是就真的变成特别特别特别了？
好像是的哦……
所以在想要改变自己，使自己更特别之前，要知道自己本身是龙是蛇，添加的又是眼睛还是蛇脚。而最好的使自己特别的方法，就是坦白真诚地做回自己。因为世界上就只有一个自己。
我曾经说过，要找一个伴侣，并不一定要有很多很多，甚至所有的所有都是两个人的共同点。因为如果真的要找一个相同兴趣、志向、眼光、性格、脾气……所有所有，以便一起生活时能够一起看喜欢的节目，听喜欢的歌，做同样的工作，想同样的意见，吃同样的食物，而且没有争吵。那么这个人需要的，不是一个伴侣，只是一面镜子。
要知道，每个人都是特别的。
你接受得了他/她特别的好，而不能接受他/她特别的不好，就算了吧。
不需要为了伴侣，或是要求伴侣刻意改变，以使伴侣成为一个特别的人。他/她本身已经特别。如果你还看不到，或是接受不到，就真的是，算了吧。
如果在一起了，慢慢地各自为对方画上眼睛，那是好事。反之，添了蛇足，那么这两人就……好好检讨吧。
我们都特别，只是自己是当局者迷。我们都特别，只是这世界的残忍让我们不敢勇敢地看到自己的特别处。

成长
时间一天一天地过，一个人就会成长吗？
成长靠的不是时间，而是一个人如何去面对他的经历。
经历，需要时间来累积。所以，过了一段时间，我们会发现某人成长了。真正的原因，是他在这段时间内，经历了一些事情。而他选择如何面对这些事情，就定下了他如何成长。
一个人遇到了问题，选择逃避，他还是不会成长。
一个人遇到了问题，勇敢面对了。他终于成长了。他再遇到同样的问题，他想都没想，就以同样的方法面对。他面对了，可是因为面对的方式，所以他这一次也并没有成长。
一个人遇到了问题，勇敢面对了。他终于成长了。他再遇到同样的问题，他努力思考，是不是还有更好的解决方法。他又成长了。
人的一生不断成长。从小，体积在成长。慢慢地，思想在成长……一直到死。
在不同的环境下，在不同的时间里，所面对的事情不同。成长的速度和方向也不同。
我自十七岁离开家乡。比起以前开始面对比较多事情。十八岁出国。至今，我离开家乡也已经五年。在这五年里，我知道自己成长了。所有人都成长了。我这一次回来，又和当年中学朋友出来。发现什么呢？
就是上一段的那句。
我不敢说，是自己比他们早离开家乡，所以成长得比较快。我只能说，我们因为成长的速度有所不同，甚至是向着不同方向成长，所以当年还可以有许多话一起说的，现在我却只能把话收起来。
就好像，把呕出的东西再吃回去那样，难受！
所以我发现，朋友，依然是朋友。只是，彼此都以不同的速度往不同的方向走了很久，要谈心已经很难。只能远远地看着朋友，笑一笑。也不知道他们看见我的笑吗。然后要谈天，也因为距离的存在，而只能听见一部分的话。
这就是成长带来的代价。
只有向着同样方向，以同样脚步一同迈进，才能互相称兄道弟。日后环境不同了，兄弟，还是兄弟吗？见面时会有那股热情，可是一开始聊天，就会发现，步伐不同了。
回到这个熟悉又陌生的城市，看着熟悉又陌生的朋友，我只能感叹……我们都成长了。我认识的，是还没有经历这五年成长的朋友。朋友认识的，也是还没有经历这五年成长的我。
就在这半年内，我感觉到自己成长了许多，真的很多。我已经不认识半年前的我。或者说……我不认识现在的我。太不同了。
导致这惊人的成长的，是……

云
云，给我的感觉，是……
白。
高。
轻。
善变。
云，当我听到这个字的时候，脑海里出现的，是白色漂浮的云朵。
云，它仿佛带有帅气。看《三国》里其中一角——赵云。看他名字就觉得帅，因为他单名云。看《水浒》里其中一角——入云龙。看着称号就觉得是个高人。
云，就是那么的高高在上……
纯白色的云，挂在青天，轻轻漂浮，形状慢慢改变……这就是一个人躺下来看着天时最想看到的情景。
其实，云就像天使，在人的心里留下太好的印象了。
云，它聚集在一起，久了，就形成乌云。云，和云靠得太近时，就会产生闪电。
只是云在我心里已经是那种白色天真的云。要把云和阴天联想在一起，不是瞬间做到的。要把云和闪电联想在一起，更是难上加难。
云说：“我看清天下。”
水说：“我也想看。”
它们集体跑上天，结果太重了，又落下大地。
当一件事物，在印象中是美好的，就继续坚持这个信念，坚持相信它是美好的。
当你开始追寻它时，它会慢慢地沉重，慢慢地……
就不如当初了。

真正的Bahasa Malaysia
是时候再发表自己的意见。
自从纳吉当上首相，我在马来西亚的时间是少过一百天。所以，我只知道有One Malaysia这个东西，也知道有Salam Satu Malaysia这个东西，也还知道有大概是Satu Bangsa, Satu Bahasa, Satu Malaysia这样的东西。
从小，我们就学Bahasa Malaysia等于Bahasa Melayu；Bahasa Melayu亦等于Bahasa Malaysia。可是，对我来说，Bahasa Malaysia其实是可以有更深的意义，更广的范围。
我想，真正的Bahasa Malaysia，应该包括了：
1. Bahasa Melayu
2. 马来西亚人华语
3. 马来西亚人英语（即Manglish）
4. 其他土著的语言
5. （我不知道这里的淡米儿文和印度的有什么差别。如果有的话，应该也加下来。）
我这样说，不是纯粹在放屁。你看，马来西亚人的语言和其他国家的语言的确不同。就先拿马来西亚人英语来说。
马：Bradder, you eat already or not?
英：Hey, have you eaten?
美：Yo! Have you eaten?
我们还有我们独特的“lah”等助词。这就是马来西亚风光。也许新加坡也有，可是还算是马来西亚独特的语言。
现在我来说关于华语吧……
马1：刺饱了（liao）没有？
马2：还没有kok。
马1：真的咩？料你刚才去mamak做somok？
这种话，听在马来西亚人耳朵里亲切、舒服。却也是马来西亚独特的风光。
其实，连Bahasa Melayu 和 Bahasa Malaysia也是有分别的。
Bahasa Melayu：Bilakah kamu balik?
Bahasa Malaysia: Bile ko balek?
我们有这样多姿多彩、Only in Malaysia的东西，为什么不要公认它们呢？搞不好我这篇blog给UNESCO看了真的承认这些东西。
Bahasa是属于所有人的。

朋友，生日快乐。
不知不觉已经七月五号！
（先祝今天生日的两个朋友——志宽和Eunice生日快乐。虽然没有亲口或面书或msn祝福。你有来看我就有祝。）
也就是说，我只剩下这个下午，晚上，明天早上，下午，晚上，和后天早上可以读书，然后就考试了。也许应该加两个凌晨吧，希望能读多一点。读多则记多，记多则懂多，懂多则对多，对多则分多……
这几天internet慢到赌懒。做什么都花更多时间，结果读书的时间更少。
昨天突然挖到一部中国剧，可是因为太慢所以才看了十分钟。这十分钟却是我晚上三小时等出来的。
片头曲有一幕，整十辆黑色美丽的不知什么车（据说是Aston Vila..?）大牌地走，看到就orgasm起来了。那种黑社会场面，是我的最爱。也许我应该去黑社会当老大，天天看这种场面，才会天天高兴。
今天弟弟开始上课还是orientation了。跟巧凯一样在INTEC。
话说回来。我已经很久没有祝朋友生日快乐了。
为什么我没有WISH朋友生日快乐？
因为我不是神。祝了朋友也不一定就真的快乐。
我觉得空祝生日快乐，不会帮到什么。倒不如，省下两方时间，省你写的，省他读的。
有心就好。

歇息吧
人的想法，是多余的。
明知生来等死，却还努力解除病毒，最终还是死了。
须知病菌也有生命，有生存的权利。
虽然我于大学里并非杰出学生，可是凭我的知识，人真的想太多了。
医治menopause symptoms，更准确地说是减轻，我们有荷尔蒙医疗。
即以estradiol + progestin来减少痛楚、皱纹、osteoporosis 和一大堆问题。
可是太多estrogen于体内则可导致乳癌、子宫leiomyoma 等。
还可导致venous thrombosis(?)和心脏病等。
那么，是给还是不给？
其实我倒觉得一切听天由命即可。
无须为了逃避上帝给的痛苦而引来其他麻烦。
随着医学方面的进步，迎来的问题有二：
其一，越来越多人能够活到很老。人越老则病越多，开销越大。（接着写已经可以写一篇作文）
其二，难产/早产的婴儿都能够活下来，却未必健康。通常难产或早产的人都会因脑部缺氧而终身残疾或傻呆呆。
而这等问题以前少有，因为少数人能够度过这一类难关。
所以就算我们成功解决一个问题，另一个问题会随之而来。
人类，有时候应该停下脚步，想一想，应该进还是退？
往往事情应该以退为进，一味地强进有时候会败得很惨。

谈读书
看了一部戏，戏中有一句话一直被重复：
不求荣华富贵，但求能够开开心心地生活。
小时候我可说是一个很 猛 的学生。读书成绩好，参加什么都会得奖。琴棋书画样样都有学。
可是为什么现在却什么都没有？
因为早在数十年前我就理解了。
琴，我至今只会皮毛。
棋，我只会下。
书，用铅笔书写还好。
画，老故事了。
以前的我，成绩好，是因为以前真的觉得自己不可以输给别人。渐渐地觉得，成绩好真的那么重要吗？
所以，到了我盛年的末期，我开始觉得那些读书读到半死不活的人很可怜。那些读书读到半死不活而又不敢跟别人说自己有读书的人很可恶。那些读书读到半死不活而又不敢承认自己有读书而又阻止别人读书的人很没用。
其实啊，如果觉得读书能带来乐趣，那么人生就可以得到快乐和好成绩。可是，我不能。
当一个人即将死去，他所遗憾的，会是考不到好成绩，还是生活不快乐，还是辜负了别人，还是没能和心爱的人在一起？
如果我有三生，我所遗憾的，会是后面三个选择，也不会轮到成绩。
所以，我成绩不比别人好，不是因为我笨，而是我对我生活所领悟的不同。

说话
在马来西亚，不会说华语的华人都被称 香蕉人。因为香蕉外黄内白。马来西亚不会说华语的华人有超过80%是英文教育，外层黄色里面却像洋人。
有些香蕉人是世代香蕉的，他们或许不会说华语，可是懂得福建、广东、潮州等话。他们通常不把孩子送到华校，所以就成了香蕉家族。
有些香蕉人却是令我看扁和生气的。我记得我遇过一华族小孩，只会说英文，是个香蕉人。可是，他竟然觉得学习华语是一种耻辱，不学习英文很违反天理的样子。真想一巴掌打他。我听说新加坡的华人也有很多都认为学习华语老土，没用，而视英文为神。
我不是说英文不好，可是身为华人而不尊重自己祖先所传的语言，不用也罢，竟还讨厌它，这是什么啊？
老实说，我老爸也是个不懂华语的，而懂福建话的人。可是他也在慢慢地学习。
可是有一点，我们华人做得很好的是，如若两个人都懂得华语，所用的语言就是华语，除非是用本地语言如福建话等。这情况在马来西亚印度人间就比较难得。虽然两个人都懂得淡米儿文，却不一定会用它来沟通。
当然，这情景在衰退。试问现代社会，你见到一个陌生华人而且从来没见他开口过，你是用英语还是华语来打招呼？我所遇过的，是用英语。
就算我们用华语交谈，可是我们的华语已经不是正宗华语，而是马来西亚华语。就如 麻坡的华语，只有我们本地人会感到满意，别人不爽是别人的事。
试瞧瞧，身边多少人用“说”这个字，就明白了。

名字
今天想用华文写一篇文章。
身为华人，我们都有华文名字。很可惜现今社会，名字是同一个东西，不像古时候的人，有名也有字。拥有华文名字，是我们华人的一种象征。我在印尼读书，本地的华人也是有华文名字的。
可是所谓的潮流，让现代的年轻华人，尤其是会读会写的，把华文名字看成一个不值得被提的东西。非基督教徒自取英文名；哈韩哈日族以韩、日语代替自己的名字。这种事情不止发生于文化掺杂的马来西亚，连中国、台湾也有。
印尼的华人没有受到华文教育，他们能够学华文，也只有课外补习或家人来教导他们。他们反而比会读会写华文的华人更看重华文名字。只要有能力和有机会，他们会用他们华文名字。不像另一些人，自取英文或韩、日名字的。
华人名字拥有姓氏，每一个姓每一个氏都有自己的历史。据我所知，这是世界上最古老的，最特别的名字。
韩国与日本的根，还是中国。他们也是汉人的后代。可是为什么我们有哈韩、哈日，没有哈中？
我从小到现在，都以我的华文名字为荣。肥死部客上我用华文名字，别人称呼我都是华文名字，上课签名我写华文名字。

Read, Memorize, Study
When people are having pre-exam syndrome (check my older post about pre-exam syndrome for more information), the most popular words used would be STUDY.
But how many people really study out there? Not all. There are some people who read, some people who memorize, and some other who study. Based on my experience here in medical school, although I never do a research or survey on this, I think most people are actually MEMORIZING and not studying, and followed by READING and lastly STUDYING.
I would like to start off with the laziest of all - READ.
Reading means glance through, like someone reading newspaper or novel. Whatever read is read, and never read again although it might not be understood yet. Sometimes the person may repeat reading it if he/she finds it interesting.
Memorizing, I can say it is "read until you remember". It is very torturing to memorize so much stuff. There are a lot of ways to actually memorize something. Some people would use some familiar things to relate to the topic and then make it easier to memorize. Some people would just read the lectures 1000000 times until they can tell you every sentence in the lecture notes.
Studying is the best way, and the correct way I personally think, to be a student. People who really study are those who will do their own research when they read something they don't understand, am I right? Those research may be sources from books, internet or by asking a more knowledgeable persons.
So, why do people choose to use STUDY in conversation? Because it is the best among these. It is seldom to see people asking each other "Have you memorized the lectures?" "Have you read the lectures?" , but instead "Have you studied?" will be used.

生活 与 兴趣
生活 和 兴趣，幸运的人可以兼有，可是世界上不多人有这种运气。
看那路边的乞丐，生活和兴趣相距不知多远。他们甚至可能对生活失去了兴趣。
看那坐在冷气房等钱入口袋的____，他们的兴趣可能和他们的生活不同。但至少，等钱来的那种感觉还不错。
生活 和 兴趣，一个往左走，一个往右走。它们是在一张白纸上，还是在地球上？
在白纸上，他们就只会越走越远，永远都再也不能相聚。
在地球上，只要有耐心，他们绕了一圈，还会相见的。

喜怒哀乐，不可忘中。
前几个月就和朋友解释过以下的内容：
我说：做什么事都不可要求太好，也不可太差。凡事以中为佳。
现在我要写的，就是 中 。
汉语词典有“中庸”一词。
中庸是一种高尚品德，叫人不奢侈，叫人不堕落。
中，为什么那么好呢？
当一个人所得的太多或太少，他灵魂所存的道德就会被影响。
生活上有许多例子。
为什么收贿赂的不是中等收入的人，而是富有的？因为当一个人得到的太多，他就会贪得无厌，得寸进尺。而当一个人太穷时，他则会打枪、抢劫、偷窃。
惟有所谓的“小康”之人，才会过着平庸的生活，与世无争。
佛说：万物皆空。正合“中”意！
而“中”这个字，也已经代表着中。
看它中间那一竖，不偏不倚，不左不右，从上至下。这，就是中。
为什么汉人的国家不叫汉国，不叫华国，而叫中国？
因为，“中”是汉语中最高尚的字。
而中国英文称之为China，而非Midland，是因为……这是我们华人的秘密，我们只让其他国家看我们作Chinese的国家，而不懂我们语言其中的秘密。
我说：做什么事都不可要求太好，也不可太差。凡事以中为佳。现在我要写的，就是 中 。
汉语词典有“中庸”一词。
中庸是一种高尚品德，叫人不奢侈，叫人不堕落。
中，为什么那么好呢？
当一个人所得的太多或太少，他灵魂所存的道德就会被影响。
生活上有许多例子。

苦能成乐，缘思为主。
If we know how and what to think, this world is wonderful...
When A and B reacts, and the product of the reaction is boiled in purified water, we will get C. When C is exposed in the air, it will eventually become D, which has foul egg smell.
What is A, B, C and D?
Yes, just think, but not too hard.
I personally think that I like thinking, but I am lazy. So when it comes to academic thingy, I am a goner.
For me, everything can be related to something.
An example. When I received my IC when I was 12, I had this thinking: damn nice my number! My IC number is 5409, which I think it is 5+4=09.
I think this is why my novel and poem got their prizes. *sweet memory*
And also I think this is what making me a good drafter in DotA. HAHAHA!
No jokes man, I drafted Crystal Maiden months before she became a top pick/ban. And I drafted Vengeful Spirit almost a year ago and now she is constantly picked.
Oh shit, I am so lazy want to study!!!

缘尽魂断，缘原不绝。
人与人之间的缘分是无法解释的。
有人说，这一世一个人的父母在他前世欠了他不少，在这一世弥补上一世的过错。
有人说，这一世一个人的朋友是他前世的敌人，在这一世要培养感情。
可是谁的道理才对？
我和一个朋友的缘分，我自己觉得不只是普通朋友的缘分。
这一个朋友已经认识他数年了。我们的关系很好，更准确地说，曾经很好，曾经不好，曾经发生过一些风暴。
如果说，这一生的朋友是上一世的敌人，那么我觉得我和这一个朋友就像曹操和关羽吧。两人间有些友情，可是国事上是敌人。
我们之间曾经有些争斗。
结果酿成悲剧。
直到我被彻底打败了风方静浪方平。
可是我自己知道，事情发生后，伤口怎么样都会留下疤痕。
任钱或权我都不是他的对手。
可是为什么他是我的对手？不是，我们是朋友。我也从来没想过把这一个朋友当对手。
可是缘分注定，他是我最好的朋友，他是我最劲的对手。
这一个朋友是谁？不管你猜什么人，我都会告诉你，你的答案，错了。
所以啊，缘分是很奇特的。
如果人类能够破解前世今生这个谜，如果人类能够解释缘分……好精彩呀！

Changed Theme!
I prefer the word "theme" for the blog header. So now I've changed my blog theme, nice right? Hahaha...
Well, I know that I would be criticised for choosing this as my theme. For laymen it is a picture of a nude lady, many would claim this as pornography.
But, hey, think about it another way.
Life is filled with unpredictable things. A bad thing may be good if we are to think about it with different mentality.
For example, failing an exam is bad. But having a positive thinking will see this as you are going to study better about the topic.
I have met some people who don't know how to make things positive when they face challenges in lives. So my theme is, sometimes as we change our ways of thinking, we can make things turn good.

谈 老
姜是老的辣。
古董以老为贵。
自人承认了时间的存在，凡以“历史性”为重的东西，都只有越来越珍贵。即使新一代的比较厉害，可是却还是被时间盖过了。只有再发现更古老的东西，才会显得更加厉害。
中国万里长城屹立几千年，终于渐渐地现出老态。
可是，它永远都会被记住了。
因为它长，稳，最重要的，是老。
家有一老，如有一宝。
可见，老是有它的重要性的。
所以，老公老婆指的不是年老的老，而是时间过了，会更加好的老。

About 1.21, 1.23, and 1.24
Talking about Malaysians, there is one thing I really cannot tolerate with.
As one of the most developed countries in South East Asia, we have almost everything to develope ourselves. We have proper education of English, we have internet access, we have some world class universities, we have rainforest... ... ... And the list goes on.
I know I am young, and may be foolish. What I am going to comment is something I really experience, and not from what I read. Young people usually cannot participate in politics because of this - inexperience. So don't criticise what I post here because this is real case.
Garena is a gaming platform, a place for playing games such as Starcraft, Counter Strike, Warcraft TFT etc. I am a DotA player and thus have been using Garena since quite long ago.
But, Blizzard came out with newer patch of Warcraft (1.22) very long ago, if not mistaken more than 1 year ago. And now we already have 1.24b as the latest patch. What I want to say is, Malaysians please wake up and update yourselves! Malaysians are still using 1.21, as this patch was used when Garena was first introduced. So outdated! Aiyo.. Newer patch can be obtained from the internet, so there is no any stupid reason one cannot download it if he/she plays on Garena! And WTF, already so long and still never update to at least 1.23?
This is Malaysians. When they can already play on Garena, they don't care about latest patch. So they continue to play using 1.21, which is now full of hacks, and some features not available. I am so frustrated, and disappointed as well. This is only in my gaming experience. If I have grown up more and get to know more, gone case lah. As a Malaysian gamer, I am very ashamed of this. People comment on forum "OMG still using x.xx patch?!" on Malaysian games.
And when you think big, not only about gaming, how other countries are looking at us?
This is just like, most Malaysians think that foreign workers especially from Indonesia, are so indisciplined and have been causing rape, rob cases. And thus people think that Indonesia is a lousy country with kampung minded residents. When I am there, I find out that Indonesians are indeed more friendly, more polite, and more hardworking in general.
So when other people see Malaysians playing with an old old OLD patch, the same happens. "Malaysia is so kampung that they cannot update their patch." in their minds.

talking about 090909-
Today is 9th of September 2009, or writen in 9.9.09, or 090909 for a nicer look. It means 长长久久 for chinese folks, which literally means "last forever". Many couples has registered to tie the knots today, from what I read.
Well, actually, human is a funny being. 090909 looks special, yes it is, but being rated "once in a hundred year" is very idiotic.
First point I'm going to talk is, today is 09 September 2009, a hundred years later, it will be 09 September 2109. You don't have the same date for the second time, no matter how long you wait.
Okay, let me widen the scope. My second point is, 09.09.09 is again 09.09.09 one hundred years later. But why so concern about this date? 05.02.90 is also 05.02.90 one hundred years later. Why so biased and being so narrow-minded?
These two points are enough to conclude that rating today's date as once in a hundred years sounds stupid. Every day is special.
Date is created by human. Although one day is equal to earth spinning on its axis for 1 round, 1 month equals to the moon rotates the earth one round, and one year equals to earth rotates the sun one round (all in approximately lah), but still it was human who created date. If our ancestors never create this, we would not have this once in a hundred years thing already. If date was always writen in "09 September 2009" form, we would not have 090909 already. And a lot more, all created by human, if didn't exist, we would not have this thing.
So, every day is special, treat every day the same. :)

My Theory of Living
Many times when I drive on the highway on the right lane (lane for overtaking in Malaysia), I would get some flash from behind. Yea, for your information, I am a good driver who obey the rule, I drive only at 110km/h. That's why it is very frequent that others want to overtake me when I am on the overtaking lane. So what will I do? I accelerate and overtake the car, then return to the normal lane and press brake to maintain the speed at 110km/h. Why do I break the rule? Because as stated above, I am a good driver, and a good person as well, I don't want to waste people's time.
Whenever we leave our campus, for those who ride motorcycle, we are to let the security check our STNK. STNK is something like road tax in Malaysia, so it is a very important document. Almost everyone keep it inside wallet, so when they are to be checked, it takes time to take the wallet, then take out STNK, then keep it again and keep the wallet into pocket. But I would hold STNK in my hand, start the engine, and when I reach the guard post it takes less than 5 seconds to settle. Then I would stop at roadside and keep it in my wallet. Why do I do this? Because I don't want to waste people's time.
There are many kinds of people in this world. But one thing that we can do to make others happy, is to think from their perspective and views. If everyone does this, will we see "potong Q"? No, because they think of those in the line.
The world is peaceful, when everyone does this. :)

H1N1 post by me
Well, people have been discussing H1N1 Pandemic since a few months ago and many people have died from this virus. We can see people wear mask, avoid going out etc. As a medical student, or more to what I think logically, wearing mask canNOT prevent this shits to happen.
First of all, those who concern about this pandemic know that this Influenza A is caused by virus, hmm, all influenza caused by virus. Virus is very small. They are just strands of DNA or RNA, maybe enveloped in protein envelope. They are not classified as organism (as what I know) thus they are not microorganism. Wearing mask can prevent the infection of H1N1 virus, many people think. But for me, virus can still pass through tiny holes of the mask. Nah, nothing is perfect in this world and I believe these tiny holes are big enough for virus. From the official WHO site, I read the post about this pandemic quite long ago and it appeared that what I think was correct, although not 100%. There is still a need to wear mask, to those who have the symptoms of Influenza A. This can reduce the chance to infect other people. On that post, it stated that healthy people do not actually need to wear masks as this cannot really protect them from the virus.
Then, why am I so against all the prevention of this virus? Because I had dengue before and I am still alive. So I think everyone will be okay to face any disease. Dengue has a higher fatality rate compared to Influenza caused by H1N1 virus, and yet people are more scared of it. If I can survive a dengue attack, why not H1N1? Hahaha... Just joking.
Seriously speaking, Influenza A only affects some particular age group and those with some health problem. Nah, my information may not be correct because I never study this, but if memory serves, this virus attack mostly young people, from age 12 to 35?? Not sure. And also those with obesity, cardiovascular problem or ... not sure, are classified as hig risk groups. Oh ya, pregnant also included in high risk group. Now that I have learnt about pregnancy, I think they are at higher risk because of some hormonal changes that causes some changes in respiratory system (shit, I am not sure what hormone is it, progesterone or oestrogen!??).
So, don't worry much about this stupid virus. If anyone has the symptoms, get treatment early and it will not be harmful. LOL! From what I read, Tamiflu is used to treat H1N1, but it is expensive and not easy to get.
Why am I writing this? Again, because I survived a more "dangerous" disease, and feel that all the fear is too much. :D
