The Standby Cancelled, BUT..

But im posted to new area, for a while... I hope...


So yeah I am at the new station now, doing my night duty. Alone and secluded. It's .. ermph .. a secluded area, I can say. Always alone, no matter it's morning, afternoon or night. Doing nothing but waiting the other workers or visitor to come and check their temperature.., give them their sticker then that's it.

No mercy, another term I can say. It's time of the year. That we the frontliners prayed hard that these thing will end up. This H1N1 .. We are now, the army, can we say more? No, or we ended up, zilch! Just do our job accordingly, with or without PPE's (with PPE's preferrably), our lives are at stake. Redha.. that's all I can say. Couldn't say more.....

Some people took this for granted, that we ended up having more and more victims of this flu. And most of our retired seniors came back to work, just to help us out. But still...... *tuuutt*

Tonight is my second night here. Although I prefer my old place, where I will be kept busy for the whole shift, it was busy, tiring but fun. Oh God, take this H1N1 away soon!

For now.. we are the army at the battlefield... Sad but true, some of my colleagues having their own little kids and family, in fact.. they have to work day and night.. non stop.. some.. only have 4-5 hours of sleep (or we call it only NAPPING) .. what more can we do? and more... they will be bringing the germs, bacterias stucked on their uniform, home...

I just read some comments at the local e-newspaper. It was sad.. not harsh, but crushing.. when i read it, it feels like my heart is was being crushed, I feel disappointed and sad for most of my colleagues, they have been exposed, and yet they ended up being shouted, cursed and yet they are still doing their job endlessly and deafened their ears.. I nearly cried when I actually talked to one of my colleague that she was sent to one of the affected place, and was given no PPEs, except gloves and simple surgical mask. Sad.. It is understand-able, that things now are maybe pretty hectic, and the public keep on asking MORE and MORE and want something BETTER and maybe the BEST.

Did the public even think, how on earth we have been working to save some lives?

One of the comments in the e-newspaper, keep on mentioning the safety of their family member, and yet they are still bringing the whole "kampung" to the hospital, although they were already informed, publicly in the radio, tv and posters and pamphlets.. to limit thei visits.. but still, do they listen? read? or even understand what has been told? No! And they ended up cursing, shouting and make some pretty un-educated and immature comments all over! SAD! very upset-ting scenario!

We don't want anything but some appreciation and understanding. We can work together to reduce this, and leave all the negative thoughts aside. Kata orang, cakap gunakan otak bukan perasaan. Ikut hati mati, ikut rasa binasa..

And so.. yes I am emotional.... Cos our lives are now at stake..!
