Saturday, April 4

I walked so much today.

During noon I headed to BBDC for a final theory practice then the real final theory test. I passed ! My heart just beat so much faster when I was about to click the "End Test" button to receive my result. But I knew God was there with me every step of the way. I could have got all the tricky questions for the test. Then I took shuttle bus to Gombak MRT. The 4th All-Comers competition was all live and going on at the stadium. I'm going to visit Ronnie at the competition tomorrow! Hey I better get my camera and phone charged.

Next stop was CHC ! I felt so sick during the seemingly draining sermon. But all ceremonies have to end somehow. Then I took off to the stadium for training. Thank God again that my shins didn't give me trouble. I walked back to the square hoping that I still can withdraw some money from ATM to feed my wallet. But lol I'm down to 1-digit. My financial breakout haven't come yet. It will come. So I walked past CHC to the bus stop for 179. And still walk some more from the bus interchange back home.

Here is a food for thought.
Should this world have a HIV vaccine?

This is a very good question to ask, in my opinion. I say yes, because innocent children around the world are getting AIDS from their parents, for example Africa. Some ordinary people around the world also desperately need it because they have families to support and the list goes on.

But on the other side of the scale, I have an equally strong opposition stance. No because, it may add to the problems of the AIDS problem in poor countries because greedy merchants will hoard all the precious supplies of this HIV vaccine and attempt to control the market themselves.

And all those men and women alike who fall into lust and affair temptation will have fun on the bed more often than not without protection. Why? Because there's no worries of getting HIV, or sexually transmitted dieseases for that matter. If HIV vaccines are available at pharmacies and 7-eleven stores, people will buy them instead of condoms. These people don't deserved to be saved by the vaccine.

AIDS is not like a flu. Flu will not lead to death, but AIDS will. It will be a life-saver. So the price tag for the HIV vaccine must be exorbitant. It's a life-saver. Then again it bring us back to my point on the dealing of the vaccine across the global market. Greedy traders will want to take profit from this lucrative but life-saving drug.

It is a double-edged sword, as much as the invention of guns. We use guns for many purposes, mainly to protect, deter and counter offense. But look again. What good has it done? If there was no guns in this world, there is significantly less violence to think about. Countries won't have to compete in the arms race to protect their lands against possible threats. All these defence budgets from every single country could be used to fulfil a better part of mankind.

So I ask of your opinion, do you want a discovery of HIV vaccine?
