H1N1 strikes UniMAP

UniMAP was safe from H1N1 at first, but looks like everything is turning upside down. This morning around 1a.m, we were told that all classes are to be canceled due to several cases of H1N1 in Kampung Wai. Midnight, around 2 cases were CONFIRMED infected with the virus. The number increased to 4 cases this afternoon, with 16(rough figure) suspected! It was shocking, and all of us were like "Yay, Holiday! 1 week 1 week!!". I told myself that if there is a week of hols to be announced, this means that our August hols will be brought forward. No good! But by all means, we have to get out of this place immediately if we have to! I don't wanna be infected with that damn virus.

So how did the H1N1 virus came to UniMAP? Basically, it is because of a few students who went to a SPA (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam) camp in Melaka. For more info, go to http://www.bharian.com.my/Current_News/BH/Monday/Mutakhir/20090727174839/Article/

In the afternoon, all of us are to go for check-ups in Kampung Wai. They'll only check our body temperature and nothing else. Weird eh? When I was being checked by one of them, a "beep beep beep" sound came from the device. I was like "Owh noes...". To my relieve, she said "Ok, pergi sana dan tandatangan, awak sihat!" Great! At least I could escape the quarantine thingy.


Seberang Ramai cafe was packed with students...


Gathering at the Dewan Terbuka KKF


Kumpul, kumpul, kumpul!


Prevent H1N1 by avoiding crowded areas =)






Mask up people! Choose life? Or not to...


Entering the check-up area...


If you're healthy, sign yr name :)


Looks like an Infrared Body Temperature Detector

At night, we were not allowed to enter Kampung Wai, or to get out of Seberang Ramai! This time, we're being quarantine for real. All gates are closed, and security guards guarding both entrance and exit. Haha, this has never happen before...and its happening. Looks like the ones you see in movies like Resident Evil! "You're not allowed to leave this area! It's full of infections out there, so get back to your hostel immediately"!!! Oh well, " WE ARE DOOM"
