Beware... They're small, they're deadly...

Mahendrah, my close friend in INTI was admitted into Pantai Hospital Melaka... The reason???

I still remember the day, it was like a week ago.... It was a Friday... I was starving as I walked to Block K to meet up with the fellas for dinner... As I stepped into Shiva's room, I sensed something wrong... Mahen wasn't his usual self... He was shivering under a very thick sheet of blanket and a sweater... Usually, he will be the one sitting in front of the computer or maybe the first one to hit me with mom jokes... Apparently, he was very ill...
We watched Never Back Down that night in Shiva's room... Mahen was in the next room, sleeping... It wasn't fun without him though... But the movie's really really good... So, it was ok...
The next day... I went to K Block common room to study, half expecting Mahen to be himself again, to be like what he used to be, to be healthy...
He wasn't there, he went back to Malacca... There were only Shaun and me... It was very quiet... The sad thing is that Mahen's condition has worsened...
It's only until a few days ago when I heard that Mahen got DENGUE FEVER!!! He was admitted... According to Shaun, his condition was very bad...
So... everybody out there... Be careful... Stay away from dark places and avoid having morning or even evening walks near grassy and dirty areas... Take care of yourself... Don't end up like Mahen here...
One more thing though... His medical bill came to around 3 thousand bucks... So, avoid getting bitten by Aedes mosquitoes and avoid losing your money... Sometimes even your life...
That's all for now... Chow!!!
