Exhaustion

If there's one lifestyle disease you can aptly label for 2009 (and onwards), it is exhaustion.


Last Sunday, Britain's Got Talent runner up, Susan Boyle checked into a mental health clinic last Sunday after the award ceremony. Apparently, she's been showing signs of reclusion and erratic outburst nearing the finals.


The following day, Malaysia's self-made millionaire Tony Fernandez was not exempted too. He fainted at LCCT after arriving from Penang for AirAsia's inaugural Singapore-Penang flight ceremony.


Earlier in March, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail aka Salim in Slumdog Millionaire is said to be suffering from exhaustion after his trip to LA for the Academy Awards. The 10-year-old has developed a temperature of 103 degrees F since returning home to Mumbai and his mom claims her son is having difficulty readjusting to life in the slums after experiencing a life of luxury in LA.

What do they all have in common?

Ordinary folks with sudden rise to fame and the pressure to keep it going. Competition kills.

Take it easy, my friends.
