There has been a recent increase in the number of reported cases
infected by the newly identified influenza strain across Asia.
Health authorities in the affected countries are cautioning the public to
take preventive measures
so as to prevent the spread of the disease.
We have on the line GP Dr.Tan...
Bryan, look at the time!
Why isn't your bag packed yet ?
Where is your Maths book and your calculator ?
Hey! Don't you need to go to school ?
But mom, I'm sick !
Sick ?
Weren't you okay yesterday ?
Isn't it your mid-year exam today ?
Do you want to fail that ?
But mom I'm really sick, I don't want to go!
Sick right ?
Nah !
Come, let's go!
Fine, I'll tell your teacher to let you come home after you finish your paper, okay?
Whatever, it's not like it matters anyway.
I'm still going to school even though I'm sick right ?
It's not so bad. Really.
You just go and get your paper done,
check through your answers
and then you can come home
you think I want to be sick
What if I faint half way
or worse what if I end up failing
Tsk! Stop it. Don't curse yourself.
Stop dragging your feet Bryan,
even Ah Ma (grandmother) walks faster than you.
Look! Bryan, we missed the bus.
Now I have to call Daddy to pick you up.
How? should I call Richard to take Brian to school so he can finish his exam?
Or should I just call the teacher and tell him Brian is sick?
