Me Paranoid?

This morning I attended a course (not inter), briefing on official "leave" and "allowances." About 200 staff from all over Perak came for this course and it was quite crowded in the hall.

During registration, I saw one lady donning a mask and entering the hall, I was taken aback, "hey, is she sick or is she being cautious?", I asked one of my colleagues. Then I was told that one of the participants was having a flu and this lady happened to know about it and thus the mask. "Alamak, how about us??"

After knowing and hearing about that, I felt very uneasy, the hall was crowded, coughing sounds were heard here and there, in every corner... Feeling "siyeh" (fearsome), I chose a seat behind and went in and out of the hall many times, in out, in out, and finally going up to my office and onlined instead. I rather miss attending the "dangerous" course....

This H1N1 is getting into my head! All of a sudden, I have sore throat... "hello... so fast meh or coincidence?" But No fever...No cough.... Gosh! Am I Being Paranoid?

eugene said...

here comes the masked man,,, i think it is our responsibility if you are down with flu, sneazing and all and we still have to go about doing work, then it is nice that we wear a facial mask....

take care now

reanaclaire said...

Eugene.. u sudah beli ah? i guess in time to come, more and more people will wear.. i think breathing is more difficult when we have those over our nose and mouth, right?

Amy, very cautious ah... boleh spare me one when i go pg?

Miss Mathew said...

lol! itz all in d mind ;) BUT it is still wise to go for a screen if we r in doubt. & see a doctor if 1 of the symptoms is visible.

@bi3L said...

it's not bad to take precaution once in a while... and be paranoid.. as long as you don't affect anyone near you... that would be bad!!!!

Mama Mia said...

Drinks a lot of H2O my dear...

chrisau said...

haiya.....last week I got fever, sore throat and cough also not scared. You over exaggerated la...
Furthermore, if your immune system is strong, you won't kena so easily. So, exercise more, sleep more, stress less and eat good food.

suituapui said...

Best to avoid crowded places, and if no choice, wear a mask! Take Vitamin C and Omega 3....must build up strong resistance.

reanaclaire said...

Mama mia.. yes.. i do drink lots..!!

Chris, now see who's talking, cakap banyak.. hahaha.. next time, dont complain here pain there pain.. i kena back u! u should be telling that to yourself, right???

STP, yes, i m okay today... eat well, sleep well..sometimes only mentally not so well..

doc said...

looks like the H1N1 is more serious than initially thought. still, it's not too late to take the usual precautions. masks are ok but what's important is to be careful what & whom you come in contact with.

reanaclaire said...

hi doc.. worrying now.. a slight sneeze and some cough makes me walk a distance away.. same thing goes with me..when i sneeze, i go far far... endure it and quickly run off somewhere to ahhhh..chhoooo....
