Seriously i don't what to blog here as i do not have brainwave to write what's on my mind.So i just simply blog about my trip back to Ipoh last weekend. Well, it was pretty good as i did hang out and saw many of my ex schoolmates. Many of them are changing, i mean in terms of physical. Like yuen, he looks darker and Annie, she's look prettier haha. Futhermore, FM was in Ipoh during Sunday. Well, the collobaration we have sure will bring the house down. Like u all know, we did cracked lots of jokes. Gosh, we even could tease and created gag with a promoter boy in Samuel and Kevin that we even don't him at all. So when u need some jokers, find us, all of your tears of sorrow will be reincarnated into tears of laughter =>.. Anywhere, currently i found out that many of my friends are already attached. It means that they will be busy with thier datings and i will be more and more lonely. Ai....why i can't get lover? Is not that nobody got feeling on me but i really don't have feel on them. Icant simply blinded foldedly choose them as lover for the sake of dating. I think that is very selfish and unfair for them. So, being a nice guy always finish last. I hope i could call someone as baby or dear on this coming xmas. I don't want anymore a really silent night. By the way, i just wanna quote something form Kelz, which she says that, 'you gain a lover, you lose a friend'....this is really really true. Try to reflect about it.
on the other hand, 1'st of December is World Aids Day. I know u guys heard a lot of prevention those stuff, so i wont elaborate on this. But i'm gonna give u bit of history about it courtesy from worldaidsday.org
1980s
The discovery of HIV in the US in 1981 was accompanied by widespread discrimination, exacerbated by homophobia and myths about HIV being spread by casual contact such as kissing or touching.
In the UK, a prompt response by the UK Government created mass public awareness about the risks of HIV. The Don’t Die of Ignorance campaign, launched in 1987, featuring icebergs and tombstones instantly put HIV on everyone’s agenda. The introduction of needle exchanges in 1986 ensured that the number of people infected through injecting drug use remained low over the next two decades.
Princess Diana’s high profile support of people living with HIV and AIDS attracted enormous media attention, for the first time challenging widespread myths and prejudice. The first World AIDS Day was launched in 1988 at a meeting of international health ministers.
1990s
Public awareness and celebrity support for the fight against HIV was high throughout the nineties. Eastenders was the first TV programme to introduce HIV into a storyline, and Freddie Mercury’s death from AIDS brought the tragedy of AIDS home to millions of fans worldwide. The National AIDS Trust Concerts of Hope for World AIDS Day featured bands such as Take That and George Michael and the blockbuster film Philadelphia brought the issues of HIV discrimination to a global audience.
The development of combination therapy in the mid nineties transformed the epidemic in developed countries, and HIV went from being a death sentence to a serious long-term health condition.
Since 2000
The National Strategy on Sexual Health and HIV was launched offering hope of greater investment and prioritisation of HIV services in the NHS. However, diversion of funds away from HIV and lack of investment in prevention programmes has accompanied rising HIV rates, particularly among gay men and African communities.
Changes to the Disability Discrimination Act in 2005 recognised for the first time that people living with HIV could experience discrimination without showing symptoms of AIDS. High profile public announcements by pop star Andy Bell and cabinet minister Chris Smith of their HIV status also encouraged a climate of greater openness.
But, discrimination still exists, and with an increase in cases of HIV among heterosexual Africans living in the UK, it is often linked to xenophobia and anti-migration sentiment.
Internationally, 40 million people live with HIV worldwide and with only 8% of people with the virus in developing countries having access to treatment there were 3 million deaths in 2005. However, unprecedented top-level agreements since 2000, (UNGASS, Africa Commission, G8) and the roll out of treatment to 1.3 million people in developing countries have been important steps forward.
