Sad Eyes

I was a beef lover - the double cheese burger, yummy beef noodles,marbled wahyu beef..I will no longer eat beef for as long as I could.

Alot of ppl are asking why, even my fren who wanted to order beef pepperoni pizza at Dominos for dinner tonite decided not to ,coz she knew that i don't want to eat beef. How thoughtful!

Well,it all happened when I saw a poor brown Cow tied to a tree with ropes, a day before it was sacrificed. He was quite thin for a cow. Earlier that morning, children provoked BrownCow by throwing things at him..what a pity..

His eyes was watery and he looked at me with those soulful dewy eyes.
I walked past BrownCow ,wanted to look at him a little longer, wanted to give him some water,wanted to tell him how sorry I was. But I couldn't do anything,BrownCow just looked back helplessly with those sad eyes as though he knew his impending fate..

I didn't stay to witness but this is how a cow is slaughtered here:
1

Legs bound, the animal is placed on its side.
2

A plank is placed between its legs to keep the cow still. A man then sit on the cow to keep it from struggling.
3

With a single motion of the knife, the man slits the throat of the cow and blood is drained into a hole. So, the knife gotta be sharp..else the cow will suffer a slow painful death..
4

When the cow is motionless, they will begin to skin it.

Then, Chop, Chop, Chop.

A cow takes nothing but green grass and water and supply milk..almost like a surrogate mother..Cow gives us all kinds of pleasure -apart from milk,think of all the ice cream, butter,cheese,yogurt,etc that you have consumed. In fact, I think it's the most giving animal in the world!

So,please do not tempt me with wahyu or kobe beef or cheese burger, fellas!
Sin choi.Sin choi.
Poor BrownCow, May God Bless you..

Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise

Today is World AIDS Day. It falls on 1st December every year.

Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise - That's the slogan for this year World AIDS Day.

I believe most of us have not thought about HIV-AIDs related concerns because of the distance geographical and personal contact with those infected. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still yet to be done.

Here is a video -Bono's message to raise the awareness of HIV/AIDS. Bono is the co-founder of RED- a foundation to raise fund and fight against AIDS in Africa. This Irish dude is my idol!Be it a great vocalist and for his humanitarian work..

The profits from Red will be channelled to funds to buy antiretroviral pills that will keep those infected by HIV alive. There is no cure for HIV/AIDs ,however the medicine can keep the HIV virus under control and immune system healthy.

MSN too, has launched (RED)WIRE -http://red.msn.com/ today. Artists like Coldplay, U2, Sheryl Crow, Jay-Z and Dixie Chicks have contributed their songs to raise funds for this cause.

What we can do to support this day?

1. Wear a red ribbon and raise awareness

2. Pledge donation

Let's make a difference and save lives!
