Face mask

It's about H1N1 again, but this time different story, public awareness...We bought the face mask last week and started to wear it. We told Aiman to wear the mask to school. On the first day he seems to enjoy wearing it, as it looks different, maybe. On the second day of his school hubby caught him not wearing the mask in school but only in front of hubby (as if he wearing it all the time lah...) Hubby got so furious as he bluffed to us. Then, I asked Aiman the reason to that, and the answer is;

"Kawan-kawan abang cakap, mulut abang macam itik" (We bought the mask yg muncung type,since the normal one was out of stock...).

Next story, me and hubby went for a shopping and both of us wore the mask, and people were looking at us...Not sure, what they thinked of.. but I heard that some of the public assumed those who wear the mask are those infected by H1N1, pity them...Some of them are so shy to wear the mask as they may look weird (here in Malaysia, since we never faced with the epidemic disease previously, if i'm not mistaken la...). and I even heard the say that

"Ajal maut di tangan tuhan..." Well there were also saying that "Tuhan tidak akan mengubah nasib seseorg melainkan dia yg mengubahnya..," something like that la.

So, is that true it's about lack of public awareness and maybe the ignorance... (sorry if this may sound harsh..). But, whatever it is, please remember that we are the one whose gonna bear all the consequences...So, take a wise step and do remember: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE...
