It begins with You

Acceptance VS Rejection
Equalization VS Stigmatization
Hope VS Fear

Which would you choose for a HIV Positive patient?

went for a HIV awareness talk today. it enlightened me about HIV and how society is treating these HIV patients.

HIV is not curable at the moment. But it is not a death sentence either. Even though they carry the virus in them, they to can lead a normal healthy life with the advancement of medical care. why is the society ostracizing them? Why can't we just treat this as any other illnesses in the world.

What if, unfortunately, you or someone that u know is infected with this virus? How will you react? Think twice before u answer. So many people with HIV out there are not depressed because of the illness, they are in despair due to how society and people around them view them.

What these people with HIV want is to be given a chance, and not sympathy. You can make a difference. Play your part. we should understand and try to accept them as part of the society. After all, they do have eyes, heart, lungs, liver... Stop discriminating HIV people. HIV doesn't kill, but discrimination kills.

It begins with you.

cooking

i have been cooking quite a lot lately. erm, i mean more than zero. haha. this is partially due to the changing of new caterer in the canteen in my uni. now a plate of normal mixed rice costs so much compared to the old caterer! and to add salt to the wound, now the vendor who used to sell curry-puff outside my apartment also has gone nowhere to be seen. weird!

anyway, i resorted in cooking to protect my stomach.( side note: i am supposed to be revising my lecture notes on gastrointestinal tract and i am here slacking around.) so i cooked a few meals, namely egg with sausage, cabbage soup, peanut soup. don't ask me how did the food become edible, but trust me, it is edible :D and i would rate it as above average.hehe. and ww also taught me cheese baked rice, just like the one at kim gary's.haha. i must try it out one day. its kinda simple, marinate some chicken/pork, grill it and cook some rice, arrange the layer of cheese on top of the chicken, put it in oven and wait till it become golden brownish. yummmy!!! yea, the thought of this made my salivary gland secretes saliva.haha.

besides that, some interesting thing the kampung serendah visit. it is a orang asli village at serendah.duh. haha. erm, the village is not as bad as i thought, at least they do have ASTRO. yes, astro. and i dun have la! but some of the kids are quite poor thing, they walk around bare-footed, because they were used to it since young. we were supposed to instill awareness in them and teach about hygiene. besides giving out goodie bag, we also had a eye check for the adult and those that are short/long sighted will be prescribed spectacles. the visit ended quite well (although i had sunburn the nite after we came back,heh) took lots of pic as well! :)

and yea! will be going back kuantan tomorrow :D :D :D :D :D :D in a holiday mood already! ahah

kidney!!

topic of the week: renal system.

the main function of the kidney is to excrete waste products out of our body and conserve useful useful materials.

can the brain functions like kidney? filtering out all unnecessary materials. i wonder. but i guess the answer is no, since my brain is always filled with rubbish.
