i have no idea how certain things work and there is no effin' manual that teaches you how to use certain things. bloody effin' annoying!
but that said, it is very pretty. ho-hum.
i am a fast learner. i am fast learner. i am fast learner. *repeats to console self wtf*

i went for the One Life exhibition and i have to say that it is very impressive. i actually almost felt like i was in india.
i didnt take any pictures because i didnt bother to wtf.
basically, there are 3 stories of people who are infected or living with people who have HIV.
when we enter the exhibition, we are given an mp3 which would guide us on our journey. we will follow in the footsteps of one child. i got jothi from india. there is one from cambodia and another from........*i have no idea*
and these are true stories. which is somewhat disturbing because those affected are children. innocent children. directly or indirectly. i came out of the exhibition HIV- because Jothi was not infected. but that doesn't make it better because both her parents were HIV+ and so was her 2 younger siblings. her parents died when she was 10 and she had to be the responsible adult and care for her younger siblings.
i stepped into her life. saw where she worked. where she lived. and i was in the clinic getting tested with her. it's scary actually thinking about it. in the exhibition they had a clinic and a volunteer playing doctor. our fate came in the form of a stamp on our hands. i was actually feeling slightly nervous thinking what i was gonna get because i became jothi. i was feeling what she was feeling.
and then there were photos of people infected with HIV. and it was heartbreaking seeing so many young children infected with it. a picture really paints a thousand words.
