The Tale of Pi's TWIST...

Long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, where the possibles were impossible and the impossibles were possible... emmm… no lah… it wasn’t THAT long ago, neither was it THAT far away… (and where anything also is possible...)

It was just a year ago… and it was only in the blog kingdom... or was it queendom? Whateverlah, asal bukan condom!
(where men rule = kingdom; where women rule = queendom; where conmen rule = condom!!)

Oops, sorry, I digressed. Where was I? A year ago? What happened a year ago? Ah yes, exactly a year ago, a blog called Pi’s TWIST was born!

The blog tells about the work of a particular volunteer by the name of Pi Bani, giving moral and emotional support to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Since Pi Bani was (and still is) not smart enough to write about the medical and scientific facts on HIV/AIDS (science subjects dia masa sekolah dulu hancusss…), she wrote on the personal human aspects instead, telling real life stories of her PLWHA clients and their families.

And WHOAA… whaddaya know… there were all sorts of stories with all sorts of dilemma and all sorts of twists! Having been assigned to so many PLWHA clients, Pi Bani had to listen to various kinds of problems faced by her clients. Stigma & discrimination problems... family problems… marriage problems… financial problems… school problems… angau problems…

These true life experiences were the main ingredients of Pi Bani’s postings… and these true life experiences shall continue to be the main ingredients in Pi’s TWIST.

Ahhh… with so many clients to handle, how she wished she could just be a Super heroine and fly from one place to another just like this...


(Oh, the V stands for Volunteer ya... not Villain!)


OII PI BANI! GET REAL LAH!!



Oops! Sorry folks, just some of my merepek and merapu stuff in conjunction with the 1st Anniversary of Pi’s TWIST!



OK, OK, next posting, back to reality… I hope... ;)

  5. Am I the first guy here to wish Pi'Twist a belated Hari Ulang Tahun? Damn, I must be getting soft in my old age...

    Tahniah Pi,and oh, at least you got a lawn. Back home my lawn has been replaced by cement and stones. Less maintenance that way...

    You know what? With all the running around you do --I think you'd make an excellent candidate if you ever decide to serve the rakyat instead. It's just a transfer of existing technologies. Hmmm, party apa ye?

    Lawn replaced with cement and stones? Less maintenance, yes, but that would mean less exercise too. I need the exercise to keep fit lah!

    Btw, I'm already serving the rakyatlah... constituency - HIV. Party - buddies. Can ah?

  15. QOTH:
    Thanks! If my stories here are one-of-a-kind, credit should go to my PLWHA clients, no? If not for them, I probably wouldn't have any unique stories to blog about!

    Kerp:
    As I mentioned in one of my earlier postings, I don't like politics.... so cannot lah twist like 'em politicians! Wouldn't mind twisting their arms though... ;)
