the wolves violated the Swiss law when they overate the sheeps?!?

"Unbeknownst to the predators, the rampage had exceeded those tolerated under the official quota.

Swiss law allows predators to kill only 35 animals in four months, while in a month, the quota is 25.

However, that limit falls to 15 a month for protected herds, as in the case of the wolves' prey.

Animals violating this law can be shot."

Oh gosh!!! I thought my eyes saw wrong when I skim past this headline... What a weird article?!?

Piggy scare

As I just returned from US, I'm constantly under the suspicion that I might be a carrier of the piggy flu with no symptom. Paranoid I guess. Regardless, I religiously monitored my temperature- no fever. Wore a mask when YS and CY came to visit me.. (Ya I looked like a terrorist, according to YS...) But I had a bad sore throat which later became a runny nose and cough on the 7th day since my arrival- I almost went berserk!

Anyway although I recovered from the runny nose, the cough stubbornly refused to go away. When I went back to work on Monday, I was totally taken aback by the situation in the office. The entire office is now coughing and sneezing... GOSH! I'm almost 1000% I'm the CARRIER... Although my boss and colleagues painstakingly told me otherwise. (Oh they are SOOO SWEET and Trusty of me...)

Anyway, silly me literally JUMPED at every cough and sneeze- AIYO!!! So since I cannot concentrate on my work without noticing the cough/ sneeze and going around asking, " HUH! Did you get this cough/sneeze before my return???", I took time off to see the company doctor...

Guess what the doctor said????

1) piggy flu's incubation period is 3-4days- You are WAYYYYYY passed it.

2) No fever? - Even more sure...

3) Overtime the moment you are back to work?- Your immunity to local flu is down

Conclusion: You came back to Singapore and caught the local flu instead.... What an irony....

DUH!!!! I almost cried out of relief man... Yippie!!!!!! I can finally spare my heart the unnecessary stress...
