The last couple of weeks in case you happened to read or hear from the news, the world is now facing a global pandemic of swine flu. It is shocking and terrifying because until now there is no cure to this disease just yet. The flu is known to be originated from Mexico, but in my opinion the validity of this fact has not been confirmed as the disease is spreading too fast in reality. Australia is also facing the reality that large numbers of people who reside here have been infected with this disease. How is it growing? Is it true that now Australia is dangerous country to visit? or this is just a rumour? I’m no expert at describing how the situation is really happening here but I’ll try to share what I’ve read and heard from our local news, in case that there is a mistake please do correct it by posting your comment.

Singapore is the first country to give a travel warning to its citizen for coming to Australia. This fact states that it is already not safe to travel to Australia. I don’t what really happens in another state of Australia, but in Victoria the case is growing quiet fastly. Another states such as New South Wales (NSW), Brisbane, etc once gave a warning not to travel to any part of Victoria. At this point, I don’t have any idea whether it is really safe to travel to Victoria, however if you decide to travel to Australia you just need to believe nothing bad is going to happen; you don’t have to be panicking. I can’t deny the fact that thousands of people are now infected and several deaths caused by this swine flu have been confirmed. In my opinion, you don’t to worry and you can still enjoy your winter holiday here in Victoria.

You guys, probably wondering what on earth I am daring to say this. Well, again I am no expert to any of this medical thing; one thing for sure that I know ’swine flu’ is just another type of flu just like ‘bird flu’ (well yeah, logically speaking the name says what the disease is or otherwise the name wouldn’t be flu). I know that you guys roughly know what to do in order not to get caught in flu.

Stay healthy all the time!

Some of us are in holiday or semester break period, the temptation not to sleep early is very strong coz usually we got no time to do activity beyond the normal sleeping time, some of us have lecture/school in the morning or afternoon; but now we do have more time. Sleeping “in the morning” could affect our immunity system to flu, we are more susceptible to flu that way. To prevent such thing to happen, drinking Vitamin C beverages surely help (I am no expert but experience does not lie). Sleep earlier whenever possible. To those in winter season, check your daily outfit; I don’t think tripel-ing your clothes at this period would do you any harm rather than getting yourself cold.

The point is in my opinion is safe to travel to Australia regarding the fact as I have mentioned above (thousands are infected and couples death are confirmed). You have to stay alert and stay healthly all the time! You know what to do, the same thing here. People don’t need to worry; the world is suffering and better yet medical scientists are working to find “a perfect cure” to this disease and it’s about time before they find it out.

p.s: in case you want to confirm what I’ve written please do post a comment and I’d gladly make necessary changes

Happy Holiday and Cheerz from Melbourne,,,

A Friend
You are there for me
there is time
when i am so happy that

There is time

disgusting that i really wish
not to be born here
but since i found you
life is just so
unbelievable
time of miracle and magic
just keep on visiting my life
i realize
it is you my friend who
creates such a big difference
even though things never turn out to be
the one that i wish the most in my life
it is you again my friend
who makes my wish come true

for the friendship we’ve been through on and on
you’ve shown me that manyy things do exist
in the world
should i say thank you
wish you all the best

to have a friend like you

you are my friend now and forever

Cheerzz,
