People here, can be so, so paranoid.

Because of this Swine flu thing, everyone is Hong Kong is like, freaking out, literally. My parents told me this morning ( before they left ) to wash my hands whenever I touch something. My mom tells me every single day, to wash my hands with soap after I touch Hoollaheh. Not only that, she complains all the time about the amount of poop in Hoollaheh's house when, I just changed all the litter and things like 3 days ago.

People, in the markets wear these, mask things over their mouth. Not only the hawkers but also the people actually buying the food. And not forgetting the MTRs. When someone coughs in the MTR, every single person in sight just runs away. And to quote my humanities teacher, " Yeah it's disgusting but have you seen people, cutting their toe nails in the MTR? " Yuck. I really don't see the BIG problem with the Swine Flu. Hell yeah I know it's something, about pigs but why is everyone freaking out. People freak out, when they get like running noses and c'mon, it's just a runny nose, not the stupid Swine Flu. I can bet, on Saturday night ( It couldn't be done tonight because of my stupid piano lesson at 7 ) when we have the barbecue, my aunts and uncles will be making sure everyone washes their hands and all before eating which is, I get it hygiene but you get the point. Not to mention we might be barbecuing pork for all I know and then probably all of them making sure it's entirely cooked before eating it. No wait, they might just not include pork into the menu.

All, the time at dinner time my mom would be mentioning about the Swine Flue and all that hygiene issues about us washing our hands more often WITH ( she emphasizes on the word ) soap and it goes on and on and on. Yes, I get it and what would really really be good is if you just stop saying that every time we start dinner. *smile*

Really, what people here need, is to take a chill pill before we all self destruct one another with our put-every-20-seconds-hand-sanitizers.
