Some interesting thoughts struck me when we were putting on our masks the other day.
As we all know, masks have become increasingly important in our lives due to the invasion of the H1N1 virus. The government has also gone to the extent of declaring the mask as a price controlled item in the market.
When we put on our masks, it’s like half of our face is gone. Our facial expression and facial gesture cannot be seen that easily. Hence, it becomes difficult to know if a person is smiling, angry or making faces at you when he or she is wearing a mask. It also makes a person not easy to be identified or have their feelings read. Do you know that you can actually get a lot of information from a person’s facial expression? On top of that, it makes talking a bit challenging too.

And what if, I say, what if, we need to depend on masks to survive in the future? This might due to many other reasons such as other viruses’ invasion, severe air pollution, a new trend in the market that we can’t live without or else people might think that we are weird if we don’t put on our masks when we go out, etc.
So, if these happens, there will be a lot of masks with different colours and designs to match colours on clothings, seasons, fashion and different occassion. Wait a minute…I just recalled that we saw a kid wearing a small mask with Mickey Mouse print on it! It has happened already!
Hey, please feel free to share your interesting thoughts too if you come across one.
But it must be healthy, please.

Alright, this is not a thought but something useful that we want to share. There’s a thin metal piece embedded in the mask. Don’t forget to bend it according to the shape of your nose to secure the mask in order to prevent viruses to enter from below the eye area.
Well, to end this post today, I would like to put up a text message on H1N1 that I got from a forward the other day. Enjoy and have a good day, everyone! 
‘One day, LittleMing was hungry. So, he went to the Malay stall nearby to buy some food.
LittleMing: Uncle, saya mau H1N1. (Uncle, I want H1N1.)
Hawker : Apa?? H1N1!!?? (What?? H1N1!!??)
LittleMing: Ya, uncle. (Yes, uncle.)
Hawker : Apa ni?? (What’s this??)
LittleMing: Hamburger 1 Nugget 1, uncle.
Hawker : Aaa…….’
