HIV Prevention

found out something VERY interesting recently, with regards to HIV prevention.

take a look at this:

basically i found a postcard with a picture like this and the caption was something about someting romantic and sexual is going to happen between the couple very soon. when you turn behind, it's actually a HIV prevention advertisement... one of the line goes like this : ABSTAIN FROM CASUAL SEX. a friend asked, " do you think it's possible for us to do that? " hahaha! that i have no answer. this is the media reach out to the straight society about HIV prevention, asking us NOT to do this, NOT to do that, DONT do this, DONT do that...

ON THE OTHER HAND...

i was in the same gay bar on another night and that night happened to be a HIV prevention night..and instead of asking them NOT to, the idea that was used to was : USE THE CONDOM. haha! so different...they are not asking the guys not to have safe sex or even to not have sex. the media is asking the gays to have as much sex as you want but please, USE THE CONDOM. on the way out, they even gave us 2 new condoms, a lubricant sample and a card that says that we can go for annoymous HIV checks at some clinics specially for the gays.. i gave them the " do you think i need look " and they gave me the " what the fark is she doing here " look..haha!

well, i dont know but i really find this VERY interesting.. in both cases, the motive is the same, to warn people against HIV but the methods used are totally opposite. in the straight society, we are told NOT to have casual sex while in the gay society, they are told NOT TO NOT have casual sex but use the condom always.. think about it, which is more effective and which is more true? does a condom prevents HIV 100%? if im not wrong, it doesnt. does not having casual sex prevents HIV 100%? well, your faithful partner may not be as faithful as you think he/she is... so what is the best way? what about getting HIV from blood transfusion, contaminated needles or by birth? i dont know why but this really got me thinking.. do people from the 2 societies think different and needs to be administerered differently? why cant the same methods be used to inform people about HIV prevention? mmm...*shrugs*

updates!

havent been writing anything for quite some time.. basically am lazy.. haha! and with all the holidays and christmas shopping that i have to do.. no time lah.. but am soooo glad that it's christmas! not sure why but i think christmas is the only holiday that i spent a lot of money but yet i always look forward to christmas..of course chinese new year is my FAVORITE holiday as i get money... *money money money, it's so funny, in a rich man's world* haha! anyway, let me share what i have been doing in my otherwise rather boring life recently...

(1) Zouk-Out!
yes yes, i went to zouk-out this year..it was a very very last minute thing because my friend from London came and then we wanted to party and it just happened that he was here during the zouk-out weekend and so we went.. BUT we didnt hang out at all, haha! it was sooo huge that we kept messaging each other " WHERE ARE YOU? " i was with another 2 girl friends and 2 guy friends.. basically, it was a normal party..there are soooo many gays with soooo beautiful bodies! and Armin Van Buurn was soooo good! check this out:




the only annoying thing about this party is that friend's friend's girlfriend accused me and my friends of stealing their money! basically my friend and his friends have managed to get a hotel room and we sort of stayed in the room for a while as my friend puked and got a little sick.. and since there's an empty bed, both of us basically were sleeping in that room for only 45 minutes..the next day, when my friend and his friends discovered that their money and one of the girlfriend's wallet was stolen, the retarded girlfriend INSISTED that it was one of us who stole it as we were the last seen strangers leaving the room! what an idiot! there were sooo many random people coming in and out of the room and she might have misplaced her wallet and anything under the sun can happen.. it is THEIR OWN FAULT that they didnt take good care of their belongings..there's a blardy safe in the room and they should have used it.. stupid and arrogant people! on top of being dumb, they were so unfriendly..not a single "hi" from any of them when me and friends went into the room..*bleh* anyway, no one pursue this matter any further. *CASE CLOSED* haha!

(2) Buying Bags!
recently, i have a VERY VERY strong urge to buy for myself this:



but it was tooo expensive.. the one i like is smaller than this and it already cost 4k! sighz too much and im not willing to spend that amount of money on a bag yet..haha but am VERY sure that one fine day, i will be able to afford one of these... so in the end, my mum kinda bought this for me:

quite nice right? hee hee i like it a lot..big and nice...and we bought it in KL, which is a BIG mistake..in KL, we bought it for RM3270 and so it's about SGD1400..my mum and i went into Gucci to take a look and it only cost SGD1320 here! so annoying! but oh well, never mind..actually my mum paid RM2000 and i paid RM1270...so it's almost a gift from my mum...BUT i bought her this as well:

it cost me SGD 1020..actually if you ask me, i thought it's pretty cheap because i always think LV in terms of SGD1500 and above...we went into the LV shop, looked around and almost bought another bag but my mum refused to let go of this bag..so in the end, i bought it for her as a birthday cum christmas present! im quite a fillial girl right? i think if you're a mother, you would love to have me as a daughter right? haha!

3) Malaysia, Truly Asia
went Malaysia with my family for a short weekend trip..quite nice as it's been quite some time since we go out as a family but we DEFINITELY need a BIGGER car..our tiny mitsubishi lancer is sooo tiny that me and my 2 brothers literally squeeze at the back seats! pretty uncomfortable but we aint got a choice..haha! went up to genting to enjoy the cool air and my dad won some money and treat us to a sumptious meal of abalone..went KL and bought the Gucci bag...went Malacca and bought many clothes and went JB to cut my hair...haha! pretty much enjoy myself..feeling rich as everything's dividend by 2..haha!

actually, i lead quite a boring life. oh well, i have to be content with what i have! christmas is coming! yay!

i didnt make it this time!

damn...look at this:

i aim to finish the race under 1 hour..but i took 1 hour 11 mins!! so infuriating!! no improvement from last year at all..and i thought i ran faster this time and i dont feel so tired this time..but then again, i didnt train at all this time..but then again, i want to run under ONE HOUR!! so annoying! anyway,never mind.. next year, i shall either (1) aim to finish 10km under 1 hour or (2) run 21km, the half marathon.. for both cases, i would need to train..but now im more interested in christmas shopping and eating.. haha!

BUT...

i took a whole 5 mins faster than my friend's boyfriend...haha! so happy..but then again, last year i won him as well..so no kick..and besides, he stopped to pee and i didnt..i only stopped to drink once...haha! but never mind, i still took lesser time than him..*grins*
