Top 10 Ways to Fake That H1N1 Infection

Top 10 Ways to Fake That H1N1 Infection

Or should the title be really "Top 10 Ways to Get An Extra Week For Homework"?

In the face of competition from a fellow listpost competitor (Don't think I can't top yours, Yong Kit), there is no way I am not blogging about the hottest topic on the mouths of taxi drivers, businessmen, teachers, worried parents and disappointed students like most of us here - the unstoppable, rampaging H1N1.

Oh the tragedy - its as if we were kicked down the bottomless pit of the financial crisis when we were slowly clawing our way back up again. But that's not the only bad thing that's looming upon our lives this period of time. It's as if life is just a sick joke, and the punchlines are always targetted at us. Guess what guys, the holidays are over!

I know - It barely got started, what with the homework that we all received as going-away presents at the end of Term 2. And just when we finally edge our way through that pile to peek through at the sun that we longed to see, all we get is a bloody pathetic feeling, finding out that it had just set.

But for every cloud there's a silver lining, and for every disease, an... er... innocent strand of DNA. If you think long and hard enough, this is the perfect time to extend our days of sleeping late into the day. "How?" you may ask. There are so many ways, so many ideas, and it's all a matter of where you want to start. However, for the uninitiated, allow me to give you some of my ideas to get your mind on the right track. Through a listpost, of course.

Top 10 Ways to Fake That H1N1 Infection

1. Bring a bag of keychains with the bold words "Made In Australia" for your friends.

2. "Yeah, my class chalet was near Aloha near end June. Why?"

3. Blog about your trip to Canada.

4. When your teacher asks you for your travel declaration form, give him the whole stack.

5. Or maybe just a very long list.

6. Tell your PE teacher you brought the wrong shirt and ask for permission to use it. Walk back calmly in your "I <3 HK" shirt.

7. Wear a face mask to school, and in your creepiest voice, walk up to the people staring at you and whisper "Why... So... Curious...?"

8. When asked about the most exciting thing that you did for the holiday, simply go "Oh well, nothing much, but the internship at Tan Tock Seng was pretty cool..."

9. Let's work in a team here - Had a classmate who actually followed this list? Organise a class outing.

And the Number 1, guaranteed way to get that extra week of bliss?

10. During temperature taking at mass lecture,  scream "thirty-eight point nine?"
