Cervical Cancer

When we were just about to exit the Street, we saw this big truck with loud music.

a project by National Cancer Society Malaysia, "Power Over Cervical Cancer"

Out of curiosity, we approached the truck. A girl asked us to do the "Cervical Cancer Risk Test"


It was just a simple questionnaires. My sister answered it, got a nice pink pen in return. She also donated a bit.



But I just did the online "Cervical Cancer Risk Test" just now.

    A little bit of awareness can always save us, but how many of us really take that few minutes to understand ourselves?
    I am one of them though am a frequent blood donor.

    Taking the risk test isn't enough. Have medical check up if possible. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer among women.

    Yes, I agree, women has the tendency to have it. So we need to have a check up, but conducting a test is good. Well done. Thanks for sharing and the visit too.

    Very interesting, but generally I am a bit wary of medical examinations.

    I saw a similar van near the community centre I went for classes last week, but it's for residents of that area only. Anyway I had mine done in a polyclinic, pap smear and mammogram, it's a yearly affair for me.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
