One Life Revolution


Recently there was an event called 'One Life Revolution ' held in ECM......


Well, since it was so widely promoted, my friends and i went there to have a look what was it all about~





Though i try to be smart by going there during dinner time...hurm..but look at the queue....= =



Well , to summarize da long journey , its actually a walkthrough about 3 person's life as an HIV +ve victim. We are given an earphone each, with selective languange ( BM, BI or Chinese) . Then from there, they will tell a short story about each kid's life . We are guided to step in alternate rooms depending which kid we get . And we experience the whole walkthrough as a 1st person ( as the kid's POV) .


Each time we go , we can get 1 kid's life walkthrough. well , i got a kid frm cambodia . She somehow got cheated into prostitution ..well, there's the main 'activity' how HIV spread huh. Though its typical , i felt mine is da most fun compare to others, coz i got to go in 1 room that full with bra's n shirt..n not to mention the choking perfume smell.. they make a real situation out of it. Well, for those whole plan to go when this NGO go to KL, i recomend you to choose the cambodian kid. There's another 2 kid, 1 from malaysia( from pahang itself!!) , another 1 from india. From what my friend had explain , it's pretty ordinary where 1 have to survive on garbage , another 1 where he n his mum struggling to combat this. We are not allowed to take pics, so i take some pics from upview( some ny, coz other place all are covered up~)

rubbish walkway

in the clinic waiting room , where the you( victim) are waiting to be proven +ve or -ve in HIV
this is the place where we are called upon by a nurse, then she will stamp our hand . ...i keep put my hand towards the -ve stamp pad ... but I was stamp +ve ( i was shock at 1st....i though we all should get -ve but later ny i understand that the kid frm cambodia is proven +ve in HIV)

after all those , we are leaded to wall of reflaction where photos of HIV +ve victim are hung there( sad song was played, even tissues are prepared on the chair LOL)

then...to the wall of hope( the only thing i sneak and snap inside) , where we write those encouragin words to keep on encouragin them~

Well, we did feel sorry for them , learn to appreciate our life more, but then its not as exaggerating until come out crying like they show in the tv while we are waiting in our lines..XD

Well, if there's a chance, try it . But i expect kl queue will be far worse than kuantan .....XD
