I'm Back!!!!

Okay so I did not post this up the very next day after i reached home. Or even the next week. Don't blow a fuse over it! Here's what i did in Beijing. I'm doing it in stages.

PART 1

Hi ! I'm back from Beijing. My goodness it is cold there. But a nice change from Malaysia. I'm gonna post some pics and tell you what happened. enjoy! Ps. some of the pics might not be the right way up.

Okay so we left the house at 8. I dun remember what time we reached.We walked around for a bit then had a pizza at "Seborro". We boarded the plane after 10 mins or so, found our seats quickly and luckily there was one empty seat so me, mom and aunt have the whole row to ourselves. Ha-ha-ha! Didi you know Malaysia airlines seats are colourful? Blue red, orange and green. We took off at 12.40.i thought we would sleep straight away but nope! sleep was disrupted. apparently they off lights just for take off. UGH!

so after that I only got 2 hours of sleep, kept on getting woken up by a cry baby who kept on crying"mama mama" in this totally annoying voice, kept being served food when i wanted to sleep! did i miss out anything? nope guess not.

Okay when we landed it was -6 degrees. Cold!


Next we went to the small pets market. It was so CRUEL! they didn't even bother to keep the animals warm. there were birds, kittens, dogs, puppies, chickens (yes chickens), fish and turtles. The fish and turtles were okay cause they had heating. but the others not so lucky. some of the puppies were kept in bread boxes. Kittens were in cages that were VERY small.

After, we went for dinner "Shin Kong Palace". They have this specialty dish. Its like dim sum, but instead of solid filling, it is filled with soup! Yum. Its was de-lish.

Sorry. no pics on the first day. Camera wasn't ready yet.

News update...

Hi hi. I'm going to Beijing tomorrow! Oh my God!!!... lol.. I'm soooo exicted!! AAA!!!!!! =) so here's the latest update.

~*~ Tomorrow I'm heading to the airport at 8+p.m. So I might send out a mass sms to everyone who I sms with often. Oh and a heads up to everyone, DON'T WASTE YOUR CREDIT AND TIME trying to call or sms me when I'm there. I'm not bringing my phone, and it's gonna cost you and me a bomb if I did anyway. I'll update my blog one last time before I leave the house. I'll try to update my blog from Beijing so y'all can see what I've been doing, but no promises, cause I'll might be to exhausted or busy to. If I'm lucky I might get the chance to chat with you all as that does not take as long as blogging. ~*~

Okay, that's all for now for my update. Here's a News update about Cancer and Heart Disease.

~*~ATLANTA - Cancer will overtake heart disease as the world's top killer by 2010, part of a trend that should more than double global cancer cases and deaths by 2030, international health experts said in a report released Tuesday. Rising tobacco use in developing countries is believed to be a huge reason for the shift, particularly in China and India, where 40 percent of the world's smokers now live.

So is better diagnosing of cancer, along with the downward trend in infectious diseases that used to be the world's leading killers.

Cancer diagnoses around the world have steadily been rising and are expected to hit 12 million this year. Global cancer deaths are expected to reach 7 million, according to the new report by the World Health Organization.

An annual rise of 1 percent in cases and deaths is expected _ with even larger increases in China, Russia and India. That means new cancer cases will likely mushroom to 27 million annually by 2030, with deaths hitting 17 million.

Underlying all this is an expected expansion of the world's population _ there will be more people around to get cancer.

By 2030, there could be 75 million people living with cancer around the world, a number that many health care systems are not equipped to handle.

"This is going to present an amazing problem at every level in every society worldwide," said Peter Boyle, director of the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Boyle spoke at a news conference with officials from the American Cancer Society, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Cancer Institute of Mexico.

The "unprecedented" gathering of organizations is an attempt to draw attention to the global threat of cancer, which isn't recognized as a major, growing health problem in some developing countries.

"Where you live shouldn't determine whether you live," said Hala Moddelmog, Komen's chief executive.

The organizations are calling on governments to act, asking the U.S. to help fund cervical cancer vaccinations and to ratify an international tobacco control treaty.

Concerned about smoking's impact on cancer rates in developing countries in the decades to come, the American Cancer Society also announced it will provide a smoking cessation counseling service in India.

"If we take action, we can keep the numbers from going where they would otherwise go," said John Seffrin, the cancer society's chief executive officer.

Other groups are also voicing support for more action.

"Cancer is one of the greatest untold health crises of the developing world," said Dr. Douglas Blayney, president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

"Few are aware that cancer already kills more people in poor countries than HIV, malaria and tuberculosis combined. And if current smoking trends continue, the problem will get significantly worse," he said in a written statement. ~*~

Wow... amazing isn't it... =) Well I'll keep y'all updated till tomorrow, but after that, so promises.. ;)... bye! Till tomorrow!
