Talk by Mdm. Noor Zaitun Yahaya, A receiver of The Qeen Elizabeth II anniversary prizes 2009. She flew from Leeds, England.

Besides her talk, we watched a video of her receiving the awards in front of th royal family and chosen people. She told us her story, how she has to undergo strict screening just to get into the Buckingham Palace, how she has to present her work in front of the royalty,including the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne etc. I quickly imagine myself in that situation. HAHA.  Well, it is awesome to receive something from The Queen of England. Even meeting the Queen herself in person is epic. Something not many people have the chance to do.

Donated USD$5 to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

I have a soft spot for cancer patients. My dad side grandma and, my grandpa whom i never see in person passed away due to cancer.  My mom side grandpa passed away this year June due to lots of illness; they suspected cancer even.  I remember nobody told me what was going on because i'm having finals and only when i am done my mom told me. It was sad because he always ask mom when am i coming home, wanting me to bring him out for breakfast everyday and drive him around the town.  Hey, money isn't everything in life. $5 isn't too much to ask for. I rather spend it on the unfortunate God's children.

And wow, this is touching.


Never Give Up
