THE DENGUE STRIKE FEARS MALAYSIAN

     Dengue fever is a painful, debilitating mosquito-borne disease caused by any one of four closely related dengue viruses. There viruses are related to the viruses that cause West Nile infection and yellow fever.Dengue fever is transmitted by the bite of an Aedes mosquito infected with a dengue virus. The mosquito becomes infected when it bites a person with dengue virus  in their blood.  It can’t be spread directly from one person to another person. Each year, an estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever occur worldwide. Most of these are in tropical areas of the world, with the greatest risk occurring in:

• The Indian subcontinent
• Southeast Asia
• Southern China
• Taiwan
• The Pacific Islands
• The Caribbean (except Cuba and the Cayman Islands)
• Mexico
• Africa
• Central and South America (except Chile, Paraguay, and Argentina)

SYMPTOMS OF DENGUE FEVER

Symptoms, which usually begin four to six days after infection and last for up to 10 days, may include high fever up to 106 F (41 C) , severe headaches, pain behind the eyes, nausea and vomiting, skin rash, minor bleeding from your gums or nose.

Most people recover within a week or so. In some cases, however, symptoms worsen and can become life-threatening. Blood vessels often become damaged and leaky, and the number of clot-forming cells in your bloodstream falls. This can cause:

·         Bleeding from the nose and mouth

·         Severe abdominal pain

·         Persistent vomiting

·         Bleeding under the skin, which may look like bruising

·         Problems with your lungs, liver and heart

This is called dengue shock syndrome (DSS). People with weakened immune systems as well as those with a second or subsequent dengue infection are believed to be at greater risk for developing dengue hemorrhagic fever.

    Hari Raya is festival for muslims to celebrated after Ramadan. In Malaysian's Hari Raya Eid is also known as Lebaran. This Festival is celebrated by Muslims in Malaysia and other Muslims through out the world. It is celebrated starting on the first day of the Islamic month of Syawal.
      And, every year I go back to my hometown to celebrated at my family's house. My cousins from other side come home's for celebrate Hari Raya too.We gather as one family every year. Before the day me and my cousins celebrate hari raya we have a fasting for last day before 1 syawal. Every year my family and I always shopping to buy some clothes and same color for our theme when hari Raya.

       After that, my mother and I make kuih raya for Hari Raya many types of kuih raya that we baked together. This is just a few of  kuih raya that all muslim's baked for, a week before raya half of muslim's love baked the kuih raya with their own. Examples of  kuih raya that we baked together is semperit, tart nanas, almond london & others.

      We so excited to celebrated our Syawal with "kaboww". During night, there are celebrations with firecrackers by playing certain firecrackers as enforced by the authorities. Hari Raya is meaningless without any firecrackers but make sure not dangerous such as bamboo cannon. We played firecracker and sparkles with our relatives at hometown. We enjoyed our firecracker together. While we enjoyed the firecracker, the housewife busy prepared the some dishes for tomorrow. My dad would also put up long wooden sticks around our house to hang oil lamp. Oil lamp looked pretty at night. The light shines in all areas. The light also illuminates our hearts to celebrated Aidilfitri. It look very beautiful.

  Hari Raya Aidilfitri is interesting event because all of the mistake and hatred are been forgives and forget. Each of my family members would apologize to each other either older or younger includes my family. One thing that i like the most is my grandmother, my parents and relative would give me the Hari Raya money. Duit Raya was given to all kids. Duit raya is 'Sedekah' to children. Among Malays, duit raya is considered a must, particularly for children , and sometimes even for unmarried adults as gifts during the Hari Raya celebration. Duit raya came in packets which are in various colour and designs. Duit raya packets can readily be obtained for free from banks, business, hypermarkets, and other locations. The packets can also be bought at stationery shops. SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI MAAF ZAHIR AND BATIN FROM US :).
