The road trip to Chow Kit was an eye opening experience. Never have I actually thought of how much the sex workers, Homosexuals, Transsexuals and HIV positive are going through. It takes a lot of courage for them to come out as who there really are and I absolutely admire them for what they have done. The Pink Triangle foundation have done a lot for these vulnerable communities. We are now talking about human rights. How these people are being discriminated. We all know that everything that is not our usual habits, we consider them as weird or unusual. But, have you ever thought of how these people might feel? No doubt, it all depends on our cultural values. (Yes, Authorship have taught me that everything we do are scripted within our cultural and language. Anything that is not in our cultural and language, we consider them as unusual.0_0) This experience have somehow made me realized that we should not discriminate them and should give them at least some chance to feel accepted in the community.
It is indeed a very educational road trip. (We has some "demonstrations" of how to practice safe sex as well lol)
Nothing much but an update of how I felt after the road trip. Another great point would be making plenty of new friends. The trip is a memorable one.
I shall now have some rest. I'm feeling the exhaustion after walking for quite a distance. Till then, have a great night everyone:)
The pictures are taken using my Motorola Razr V3XX. Picture quality is not that good. Wanted to bring out the SLR but since it's a gangster area, I don't really want to take the risk.
PAS at chowkit?? hmm
Bar Tat tat hehehe
Jarod at the front. Aron and Rashaad at the back
Nice graffiti on the wall.:)
Another one on the metal door.
Edited* The creator of Lat (The comic) came to Monash University recently. It was a pretty interesting event (We get to look at all the comics he drew based on what he experienced in life). He is indeed an incredibly talented artist. Datuk Mohammas Khalid have shown great talent and have created a name of his own. His comics are one of a kind.Have been following Americal Idol updates on youtube since there is no television here at KL:(. Well yay! David Archuleta sailed through smoothly to the next round once again with a great rendition of Mariah Carey's : When you believe.
The results of Asian Badminton Championship ----> Big big disappointment with all shuttlers losing their matches. Indeed a very bad outing for the Malaysian team. Sigh. What a big setback.
