Now gotta go get more information from the actress...haha....
Have you ever wondered how strong is your will power? How determined are you? How easily tempted are you? Well, I did. So, after reading the article in the RAGE newspaper, I thought...maybe I should try it too...So, without hesitation....I just thought of doing it.
Hmm....are you trying to figure out what am I talking about here?? hehe.....well..okay...since I've succeeded...partially only, to be exact...hehe.....I'll tell you....
I've partially succeeded in being a vegetarian for more than 3 days!!! yeap....no meat..nor any food product that contains meat substance....
It all started with the usual newspaper reading session in school. Throughout form 6, our only entertainment in school is to read the free newspaper provided. The Rage. So, in last week entry, there's an article about a group of people who tried to resist the temptation of meat for 3 days. So, I just simply said to my friend..."hey...we should try that to...for health, will power, and it might be fun." and they were like..'yea..yea..you go do la.." Haha...Little did they know that I'm really up to it....actually, I didn't know it myself as well....
Until Monday morning, the moment I woke up, I just felt like challenging myself. So, I've decided to commit myself to it. Okay.....except for that part where I accidentally ate that quarter egg tart for breakfast. Seriously, I totally forgotten that I shouldn't be eating eggs. I know some vegetarians do eat eggs...but since I'm just doing this for 3 days, I might as well make it a little bit tougher by forbidding myself from eating eggs...then for lunch, I've prepared a whole plate of fresh vegetables, from carrots to tomatoes...after eating only I realised that mayonaise actually contains eggs. Opps...breakfast--fail....now lunch too??!! argh.... so...my friend said..."Haiz..I think you better start tomorrow." so I thought....fine....since the first day was such a failure...I might as well start on Tuesday...
So on Tuesday, everything went smooth...not much temptations around and the day went by easily...On that day my mum asked me..' Why do you want to be a vegetarian? What are you asking for?' and I was confused by her question. what am I asking for? I'm not asking for anything...huh??....then only I realised....she thought I was like those characters in the dramas...being a vegetarian in exchange to ask something from God...lol...then only I explained to my mum that "no I am not asking for anything...I just wanted to test my will power and determination"....lol....didn't see that coming..haha..
now...next....here comes the challenge...
On Wednesday, the girl guides club were having the installation....Lunch was provided. So, since I was the vice, I can't possibly skip it...so...I went for it..It was really tempting though....they had pizzas...and everyone was enjoying the food....and almost everything contains meat in it. Fortunately, I managed to grab myself a piece of vege pizza. hehe...not too bad after all....
Then later in the evening, gathering with friends in Marco's Pizza..yeap...pizzas again!!! I didn't eat anything though....since I was heading to Cathay later for the premier of The Dark Knight!! yay...got free tickets..haha....
Since the gathering was short......I managed to handle it...then...for dinner..we end up in Kim Gary in the Curve... when I looked at the menu...."baked cheese rice with meat, noodles with meat, even the soup contains meat"...everything also meat....finally I managed to find something without meat in it. French toast....opps...now that I thought about it......French toast contains eggs right?? ooopsy.....another failure....argh....I really didn't thought about that...haiz....and I thought I was somehow successful...yea right........wait..... for Monday dinner, I didn't eat any meat...so maybe I can replace Wednesday dinner with Monday's...then I can get a full day without meat...hehe...cheating....
Anyhow....on Thursday....which should be the final day....I thought I didn't eat any meat as well....until I found out that the belacan I ate this morning contains prawn...Haiz...so I guess....I have to replace it with tomorrow's breakfast...Haiz.......sad....
That made me realise something....almost everything we eat contains meat.....unless you really just eat fresh vegetables and vegetables only....the amount of meat a normal person consume in a day is actually a lot....I didn't know this until I stopped eating it.....this mission was certainly not accomplished!!! Haiz...I guess I'll just have to redo it next time....can't continue this weekend since I'm going for sushi lunch on Saturday with my church friends.....can't say no to sushi.....can I?
Today, I went along with a few friends from school to an exhibition in Dream Centre, DUMC. I used to attend that church when I was little....That was before they shifted though.. Anyway, the exhibition is named ONe Life exhibit. Its main objective is to put you into the shoes of the children who are affected with HIV/AIDS and child trafficking.
I heard about this exhibition thingy from my friend last year, but I've never been to the exhibition. I was kinda surprise when I see how it works. At the beginning, you'll be guided on things to do and not do during the exhibition before you are given a mp3 player to be hung around your neck. A character will be given to you, and for that whole journey, you're suppose to be that person and experience his/her life.
Throughout the journey, you'll be guided from room to room by the narrator's voice through the earphones. There are a total of 3 different characters for you to experience and since we have time and not many people were there, we went for all three characters. My first character was Jothi from India. I'm not gonna tell you how her life goes because I don't wanna ruin the suspense for those who are reading this and have yet to try the exhibition.
Anyway, the moment I stepped through the curtains, I can smell the flower scent. It makes you feel like you're really in India. Furthermore, the noise from the surrounding that was played from the mp3 made it even more real. Stepping through each curtain leads me to the living place of Jothi, the place where she worked and it really puts me in her life. My friend told me that there were people who cried throughout the journey, and I didn't believe it at first. But, undeniably the journey was really heartbreaking and touching. I didn't cry though. Was too fascinated by the idea on how they came up with this exhibition to make you go through the unfortunate children's life.
Anyway, at almost the end of the journey, you'll end up in a room called 'health clinic' which really looks like a clinic and from there you'll move on to the counter to check if you're HIV positive or negative. Of course, they won't really run the test on your blood and stuff...they'll just stamp your hand with the positive sign if you're infected by HIV and vice versa. But the story did not end there. If you're stamped as HIV positive, you're suppose to sit at the bench and wait for a HIV negative individual to 'rescue' you when they offer you their hands. 2 out of 3 of the characters were infected by HIV so you do the math.
The first character I got wasn't infected with HIV so I get to save others and lead them out of the room. But the 2nd and 3rd one which I tried later weren't that fortunate. I sat there at the bench for quite some time but no one came to save me....my friends were all HIV positive too since we went through the same character. So after the music ended, we just left the room without being rescued. Through that I realize, even if I wasn't really been infected by HIV, the feeling of being abandoned, the feeling of no one coming to save you can really be felt. Can you imagine how the HIV positive patients really felt when all their family and friends isolate them when they found out that he/she is infected by HIV? Therefore throughout the whole journey, there were poster pasted everywhere emphasizing that " Discrimination Killed them, not HIV"....and indeed it is really true. None of them choose to be infected by this deadly disease...Some got infected even before stepping into this world...moreover, HIV disease can't be pass/spread through saliva/ skin contact....so there's absolutely no reason for people to isolate the patients actually...
After leaving the health clinic, you'll move on to a reflection room where many pictures potraiting the patients and their families which were affected by HIV were hung all over. After that, you'll be given a bracelet and then you're free to leave message at the wall of hope. Although the entire journey took only about 20 minutes, it really reflects a lot and the message was clearly shown. It really gave me a whole picture of the person's life and how blessed am I to be here, living comfortably.
They are all ordinary people just like us, but their life are so much tougher compared to us. We were encouraged by the volunteers to spread the word to our friends about this meaningful exhibition. So here am I, encouraging you guys to go for the exhibition. It's really a good experience.
TAKE A JOURNEY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A CHILD......
Take a once-in-a lifetime journey through the ONE LIFE exhibit.
You will see, hear and experience the tragedy and triumph lived out by real children affected by HIV/AIDS and child trafficking.
See life through their eyes.
Be amazed by their resilience.
