It took us around 24 hours to get to Manchester from Brunei; a journey which can be broken into three parts.

I just have to announce it to the world that…..

I was sent this link, which summarises the Influenza A H1N1 infections globally.
Looking at the many statistics that are available on the site, I’m quite surprised with the situations that Brunei has found itself in.
1. The country with the highest growth of cases in the past ten days.
2. The country with the highest density of cases per 10,000 of the population.
These are the two records that I’d imagine the Ministry of Health of Brunei would rather not have.
However, we shall not panic. We have to ensure that we are protecting ourselves against the infection by practicing better personal hygiene (wash hands regularly, for example) and better social etiquette (cover mouth when sneezing and coughing, refrain from handshakings). As the Medical Officer told us during the Influenza A H1N1 briefing at work yesterday, at this time, we just have to be frank and honest about protecting ourselves from getting infected. We shall not get offended if someone refuses to shake your hands or if someone wears the facemask while talking to you.

Someone asked about “tamilflu”, instead of tamiflu……….

What could be worse (or isn’t it just as bad) than talking on the phone while driving?

It’s going to be a busy week for me. Wel, not really busy at work, but rather it’s going to be a busy week after work.
For the fourth year, some colleagues and I are organising the company-wide badminton tournament. It’s taking place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week. More than 100 players from eight teams are taking part. This year, we have introduced some changes to the format of the tournament. For the first time ever, mens’ single matches are introduced. We’ve reduced the number of teams from ten to eight. Also, the tournament is also taking part over a period of three days, rather than the ten that we had in previous years.
