Its been quite awhile since I last posted shots of nature. Well, managed to take a few shots recently and decided to post them...instead shots of my good looking self....lol....darn.
The irony is that I took some of the shots while in Tiang Dua, Jasin, the epicentre of the recent outbreak of deadly meningitis. Was there to cover a story about some kids in a Chinese primary who were ask to remove their face mask, much to the dismay of several parents. Their school is located about 300 meters from a Road Transport Department Training Academy where the outbreak occurred.
The only wore the masks (given through the initiative of the school's teachers-parents association) for a day but was asked to remove them the following day 'as the situation was under control and the authorities did not want to create undue panic'.
Anyway, the entire meningitis episode (one fatality, 400 over quarantined and over 40 hospitalized) is a wake up call for everyone...both public and government officials to the threat f infectious disease. I suppose it was a 'live' drill and a precursor to the actual H1N1 global pandemic that is bound to happen....sigh.
Well, cest la vie and life goes on ya. Just hope everything will turn out alright for everyone.
p/s also managed to get some pix of the sky just before a storm at about 1am. The sky was partly orange and reddish in colour and I even got a shot of how bright it is when lighting lights up the night sky.
To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.
