Today was the first day of the Nobel Laureate program. I helped in registration section as it was held in my school. A number of students and teachers from other schools also attended it. Even researchers from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia attended it. Me and my friend, Arathi gave away goodie bags and files to all participants. Not far from us, there was a group of students of my school and some teachers discussing something. Later on I found out that it was about the stomach ache that almost all the level 1 students had. The cause is still not confirmed. It might be from food poisoning or the river's water at camping during the weekend. Thank GOD I didn't go for the camping. Many of my friends were affected. One is lying in the hospital, one is vomiting blood, some went back home and some still surviving in hostel making several rounds to the toilet. To make the condition worse, the water in my school has high content of chlorine. Therefore, the food are unsafe to be consumed, the water is unsafe and so is the shower. Luckily, SYABAS came to our hostel and supplied clean water for us. We all bought pails and filled it one by one by taking turns. Hopefully the management will solve these problems as soon as possible. I also got locked out of my room today. Luckily, I managed to find my warden and get the spare key from her. My class ordered domino's for dinner and we ate it in a hut beside the dining hall. Today was quite a mess. What a starting week day! Hopefully things will get better tomorrow... #messymonday
