Visit To Children With HIV/AIDS

From WAKE webpage..'every child matters and every child, regardless of his or her family background, has the best possible start in life'.Give them a chance.Think about it.
ON the 22nd of December, Me and a group of friends visited Rumah Wake to celebrate christmas with the children there. This is a very interesting event to share personally..By the Way, Rumah Wake is at Setapak,KL. First of all, due to some 'unforeseen' circumstances (Bin's car went the wrong way..=p) so it didn't really go as planned as first. We were suppose to have dinner first..haha. We reached Setapak RIGHT ON TIME and everyone was cooperative to visit the children first although some of them were starving..(Ping.hehe) I just remembered..I didn't even have the chance to eat the biscuits from macau..=(
I would say that celebrating christmas with the children was an interesting experience. They were all really friendly..and they respected us. It's hard to believe that these wonderful children were in the position of having AIDS.Innocence.
We started with an icebreaker to know all the children better and well..'break the ice'. Oh yea..Thanks to Clement and Jing for thinking of the games..=) Well, we only had 2 hours to do everything so the whole programme was quite packed. I have no idea what the name of the games were..but i'll just name it as to how i feel it should be named..=p I remembered some 'bomb country','banana', 'spiderman/superman'..that's just to name a few..There were plenty more games actually.
Before that, there were about 16 children(including baby) in the house and 10 of us. I was really happy seeing how some children enjoyed themselves running around and having fun while playing games..Just brings the smile to my face..^_^
You gotta go to feel the experience..so therefore i shall cut the story shorter. After playing the games..we started singing christmas songs together with the children. Some of the songs were 12 days of christmas!(Edwin loves it), We wish you a merry christmas, jingle bells, and many more! I love the atmosphere when everyone sits around in a circle and sing..personally..it gives me a really good feeling.
Well, after singing..before we could realise..2 hours has passed. We quickly rushed to get the gifts and passed to the children. By the time that ended, It was already 10. I think the worst thing about everything for me was saying goodbye to the children. I have no idea when i might come back to see them again..I hope i do..
STARVING!..We drove to SS2 to eat..there's some story in between such as me making a wrong turn but nobody wants to hear that right? =D..That's about it! I REALLY recommend celebrating christmas with the unfortunates..it's an experience worth while..Trust me!
You might be wondering why there's no pictures..Well, due to the children's background..we cannot take pictures..therefore the memories are only in our minds! haha..
Anyways, I'll write the names so that i can remember who went..haha..
Thanks to Bert,Bin,Clement,Edwin,Fong,Jing,Pearly,Ping,Shan for coming!
Extra thanks to Jing and E Von Ne for shopping for gifts, Edwin for lyrics, Shan for songs and Bin for transport..=)
and those who contributed the money but didn't go..Chew, Eee Lin, E von ne, Foong, Nee Nee, Stan.
Super Thanks to Mr Daruz for allowing us to visit the children!
Love ya all! Hope to do it again sometime in the future! =)

A Sweet Video..

This video is for the parents..they play a very important role in upbringing the child. Tolerance is what brings us together! btw..'Lions for Lambs' looks like a very interesting movie to watch..haha =/ you can comment or tell your opinion regarding the video..i was actually kinda touched by the video..sometimes children understands what the world needs..and the adults are the ones making decisions..Enjoy! And HOLA From Ching..=)

Gifted Fingers..

I was browsing through youtube to search for some videos and came across this video.
This video impressed me so much and blew me away..Enjoy! =)

Cellphone Causes Cancer..True?

I was really curious when i hear lots of people saying that cellphones can cause cancer..so i decided to do some research on the internet on whether cellphones cause cancer..this is the article i found..

-3-case control studies-
First, the patients with brain cancer did not report more cellular phone use overall than the controls. This finding was true when all brain cancers were considered as a group, when individual types of brain cancer were considered, and when specific locations within the brain were considered. In fact, most of the studies showed a tendency toward a lower risk of brain cancer among cellular phone uses, for unclear reasons.
Second, none of the studies showed a "dose-response relationship" -- a tendency for the risk of brain cancer to increase with increasing cellular phone use, which would be expected if cellular phone use caused brain cancer.
Third, the studies did not show a clear link between the side of the head on which the brain cancer occurred and the side on which the cellular phone was used (with the possible exception of the Swedish study).
Results of the long-term cohort study, which linked data on all of the 420,095 cellular telephone users in Denmark between 1982 and 1995 to the Danish Cancer Registry, agree with the findings of the case-control studies. Cellular phone use, even for more than 10 years, was not associated with an increased risk of developing brain tumors or cancer overall, nor was there an association with any brain tumor subtypes or with tumors in any location within the brain. As in the case-control studies, no link was found between brain tumor risk and RF dose, as assessed by length of cellular phone use, date since first subscription, age at first subscription, or type of cellular phone used.

In summary, there is now considerable epidemiologic evidence that shows no consistent association between cellular phone use and overall risk of brain cancer. Some uncertainty remains regarding a possible association with acoustic neuromas. Several large studies now in progress will add markedly to the evidence within a few years.

I read a number of articles and a few articles states that it is inconclusive..so it's up to you to believe whichever article you want about whether cellphones really do cause cancer or not..thanks

I just took out some important points..you can read the entire article here..

Finished Trials! 2 weeks hols!

I recently finished my Trials and i'm sick...how lucky..! I've been sick for about a week now..from a terrible sore throat to intense coughing..sigh..Oh well..At least i have 2 weeks to fix myself..Anyways..Last Saturday, I attended the IMU charity run/carnival with a group of my friends.. I almost couldn't make it because i was sick..=/ I was looking forward to it 2 months ago so nothing's gonna stop me from going..muahaha..=/. I would say that the event was..interesting..lots of stuff around and loads of sponsorship..but limited amount of toilets. hehe..the top floor was locked so I had to walk a long way to the toilet..haha..and i think I could've mistakenly gone into the female's toilet..It was all pink..! (But there isn't a sign..so i guess it's okay..) Next time you attend this kind of carnival..make sure you come earlier..I think the carnival was suppose to be from 8am-4pm..but by 12, most of the good stuffs or food have been sold out. I know because i reached at 11.30..=p. IMU should sell batteries because i didn't buy any batteries for my camera..so i had to quickly take pics before my batteries dries out..=p Oh well, I had a great time..! (although i miss the run..but hey, IT'S FOR CHARITY!) =)

Quite a nice atmosphere..except the music was

a bit too noisy for me..

Me! at the carnival..

A blend of champion and auntie = Edwin
