"No! I need to speak to the Minister of Health himself, you don't understand the situation - within 24 hours - we're expecting half of Klang Valley's folks gonna be infected" I'm getting inpatient with the Putra Jaya officials.
We are losing precious time.
Behind me Prof Sarah, the hospital director looked composed as ever while having discussion with her microbiologist. She looked at me and give the sad nod.
"The H1N1 influenza A virus has mutated rapidly within the last 2 hours... " Dr Lee spoke softly, he looked disappointed with the latest grim development.
"...we got our first case of H1NI positive in our Malaysian soil. The worse news is this is nothing comparing what had hit Mexico and the States."
The brilliant microbiologist who won the 1990 Lutzfe prize for the discovery of West-Jurong virus looked like a forgotten 50 year-old Jazz guitarist from Seattle. He can't seem to hide his distressed face.
"First we need to get through to the Prime Minister office, then we gotta tell 8 million people in Klang Valley that we need to quarantine them in their home... who knows we might be looking at the army taking over the streets...." he paused.
".. I need to call my wife, excuse me" Dr Lee rushed to the next room.
The voice on the other line finally said "Okay the Health minister is ready to speak to you. But first we need you to pass the security clearance. What is the password?"
"Huh.. Is this really necessary? Okay...okay the password is Grumpy but gorgeous". I answered confidently.
"Password is correct. Thank you sir. Please hold the line"

I take that as compliment. Good luck with your thesis.
Good one. Got me kow-kow! Hey, maybe you should get the Hitz Morning Crew to do this as a Gotcha call to that YB Saravanan.
Andrea: Gee weez! Splendid idea - i'm all in for that idea. He gonna wish he never had gone for that glamour-seeking stunt in GHKL.
Frustrations and boredom produce intersting bits of fiction. Heres to more of that!
I wonder if you are still thinking of a plot when there is a scalpel in your hand!?
Misery loves company.
Boredom breeds lunacy.
Think I'm somewhere 2/3rd in between.
With scalpel in my hand... let there be lights!
