Hello my lovely readers, I have been MIA for like so long. HAHAHA
I have been quite sick last weekend, so all my weekend planning to do ALS Ice Bucket challenge and donation had to be put on hold as all I do was to sleep after every meal.
So all my planning can proceed as planned! I would like to take this opportunity to thank my dear old friend Lee Yi Hui, all the way from New Zealand. Sending you love from all the way from Malaysia. Thanks yo! :D Without her nomination I wouldn't have thought of donating to ALS Association.
Not only it is a way to create awareness among this generation of the disease but also to help them by donating by monetary term(for ALS research purpose) or time(spent with patients) or gifts(toys & etc).
Seeing this makes me very happy. Not a word is accurate enough to describe how I feel after seeing this.
A brief explanation of what is ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.
In laymen term would be the brain losing the control of all your muscle which leads to patients being completely paralyzed.
It reminds me of a great book by Mitch Albom by the title of Tuesday With Morrie. I've learnt from the book that usually we, humans chase after the wrong things until we or someone close to us are diagnosed with deadly disease. It changes the perspective of the individual itself. This expensive bag or a pair of shoe wouldn't matter so much when our life or someone close to us's life is at stake.
However, by saying this, we should not stop living and enjoying life altogether. After all, we are just human. *insert the song Human- Christina Perry*
Okay. Jokes aside, live and enjoy life not to the expense of others. Bring joy to others as well. Be it a smile to a stranger or helping a visually impaired person going into the lrt.
Of course definitely, not only should we channel all our focus solely on ALS since it has been receiving tons of attention worldwide instead but also others such as World Vision. Do click on the link below for more information. :D

Together we can make the world a better place! Peace yo.
