Swine Flue Outbreak

I have not been updating my blog for a while now. A few things just surfaced recently and I have not been very well during the world's swine flue ourbreak in the past week. Not that I was infected by H1N1, but I was struck by high fever just 12 hours prior to my business trip to Jakarta on April 28-30, 2009. Oh boy, talk about worries, I was really worried for not being able to enter Jakarta as well as to depart from Jakarta. The news spread very fast about alert level change from level 4 to level 5 and while entering KL, I swallowed a few tablets to keep my body temperature down and so not to get cought by the thermal scan. Luckily, there was no thermal scan for inbound flight from Jakarta!

Perhaps, the trip to Jakarta this time was the worst one I have ever taken. I was totally sick, unable to sleep and forget about eating and dining. I did nothing apart from going to the office and get my lunch at the hotel and back into the hotel after work for a sleep. For many years, I must be thankful enough that I had never had major sickness such as this one. But having had one now and recovering, alhamdulillah, I feel a lot better. I am trying to catch up with the running but so far, I could only do over 1.5 km run only and the coughs trouble me so far. Azad said that the next run will be on May 17 for 11 km run at Dataran Merdeka! Halim seems very strong at it....but I loss over 2 kg's since the fever, that's a good news..
