hey there peeps.
bet all of you are taking a break in the midst of this may day right?
do rest well yeah.
a short break from the hectic life that all of us are leading.




was reading the newspaper a while ago.
and seriously, every piece of news is just telling me how this world has transformed into a worse-than-before state.
let's just do a count.
out of 10 news, i see at least 7 that are negative news.


First thing first.
Singapore has cranked up her pandemic alert level from yellow to orange.
that doesn't look good does it?
but in a positive light,
we are preparing ourselves for what might be possible to happen.

but let's think back.
approximately about a year ago, what do we have?
Avian Flu.

Now,
Swine Flu.

what could be next?
definitely, i hope that after this nth much will appear again.
But people might just start slamming me for being naive, right?


On a side note,
i applaud the Singapore Government, Ministry of Health for their quick to react measures and safety precautions they have put in place.
Let's all keep this practices up yeah.


Next point,
wars, political unrest, killings everywhere.

Pakistan, Afghanistan etc etc.
and from today's news, a university shooting in Baku, Azerbaijan.


It'll be overestimation of myself to judge all this and to claim i am right,
but what's with all this?
The world is chaotic enough with the economic crisis and now the outbreak of the swine flu,
which might prove to be a pandemic.

FYI, a flu virus that broke out in 1918-1919, it killed 40million people worldwide.

Though experts have assured that the current flu has nowhere near that capacity,
but imagine the horror a flu can bring about?

then to add on,
we have all the political issues going on.

As an individual, i can't do anything but to just feel sadden by the events of such happening around the world.




Mankind has seriously changed so much, haven't we?
Looking back, i daresay back then the generations are now faced with as much problems as we have today.
Progress come with a price huh?

i still feel that all this happening, we have no one to blame but the changing mindsets of us humans.

Will we, one day, have the courage to turn back the pendulum, and go back to what things were a hundred years ago, even if it means the giving up of our progress?


However,
despite all these that are happening around the world,
i believe all of us should still live on with a positive mindset and attitude everyday.
If one continues to carry the pessimism and negativity in you,
imagine how painful it can be just to live through everyday?

Think positive people.
and lastly,


borrowed from Professor Moody in JK Rowling's Harry Potter series,
let us all live in "Constant Vigilance".
take care people.

Ciaos.
