And at times like this, we start to realize the lil things that matters most.Lil things that we have always taken for granted. The H1N1 influenza virus certainly needs no further introduction. Despite claims by the Mexican government that the spread of the flu in their country is under control, the number of suspected cases and death tolls around the world are rising.All of a sudden,the Singapore government starts introducing desperate measures in every sector of the country in the hope that even if the virus were to reach our shores, the impact it would have on the country would be positively limited.You have to learn from ur lesson they always say, and i certainly believe that not only Singapore, but other S.E.A countries too have prepared well ever since the SARS virus took the lifes of thousands.Temperature checks in schools, protective masks in hospitals, u name it! Being a" kiasu" bunch of citizens, its no surprise that we have stood well in introducing basic preventive measures to the best of our ability. On the contrary though, i think we all should spare a moment and think about the preparations we have on the mental side. Ask yourself,will you be ready if ur loved ones are in the shoes of those fighting for their lives against this terrible disease(GOD bless us all)Will u be ready if ur best friend are in those shoes.Will YOU be ready should YOU get it?(GOD bless us all again)There's no harm in preparing ourself mentally for the worst,at least we will learn to appreciate the people around us more and better still,love them even more. (: Lets all pray that we are given the best of health and that we are protected from this disease.Oh ya, let us also appreciate the teeny weeny things around us;whoever or whatever it is. Because at times like this, we start to realize the lil things that matters most.Lil things that we have always taken for granted. (:
