Children Deprived of Parental Care
Children around the world are often raised outside of a home environment and without the care of either biological or adopted parents. Without a parent as a natural advocate and protector, these children are particularly vulnerable.
Every child who is temporarily or permanently deprived of his or her family environment is entitled to special protection and assistance provided by the state. Children may be placed in institutions such as orphanages, group homes, foster family homes, relative placements, hospitals or other institutions charged with their care. Through these alternative care settings, the government must ensure to the maximum extent possible the survival and development of the child.
Ironically, these placements are often harmful to children. Many children face grossly substandard and over-crowded facilities, inadequate and at times inhumane care, physical and sexual abuse, cruel and degrading treatment, and life-threatening deprivation. Even in some institutions that are clean and provide adequate food, staff neglect children; babies are left to lie alone in cribs or small beds with no stimulation, play, or adult attention; adolescents are not provided the guidance and care needed to prepare for adulthood. Children and youth are often denied contact with extended family members and communities. Educational opportunities are frequently lacking and medical care abysmal. Denied the help and care of a natural family, many of these children and youth are further disadvantaged by systems that perpetuate abuse and neglect.
Human Rights Watch investigates the situation of children deprived of their family environment and seeks to make significant changes in the way children deprived of parental care are treated throughout the world.

Midget Queen

midget's name is karen ng,19. You can only call me shortie if ya name is tallie. I might be a midget but I'm no pushover and that's what make me a queen. My obsessions consists of shoes, bags, coats, great food. Currently i am addicted to peanut chocolates and coffee bean chocolates from Candy Empire and almond crunchy dark chocolate from Corduroy Candy. My primary interests are fashion, food, music. I am constantly looking for great food and probably the reason why i gained 5kgs and only lost 2. I hate writing emo entries and the girliest part of me is probably loving shopping for shoes (though i can only go on for max 2hrs) and have a great liking in rich and real good chocolates. maybe liking bubbles too coz looking at them gives people hopes. I think eating yucky food is so pointless like ieat said, " do not waste your calories on yucky food". My favourite colors are green, purple, brown and white. Which of these colors i prefer depends very much on my mood and the weather at that time.
People who u will see often on my blog:

This is my honeybiscuit nephew, Jacob.

This is tallie, Juan. Which i think our friendship is more of brotherhood than sisterhood.

This is my partner for good food hunt, Tang(though he would prefer people to call him Handsome.) Who gained more weight than me.

This is my grandpa who escaped to Australia from me as he failed to get my krispy kremes donuts, Andrew.
"don't... ...waste calories on yucky food ...wear what the whole world is wearing ...waste time watching movies that are not worth it at all ...listen to songs by artistes with zero singing talent "

Chocolate Buffet
Went to the chocolate buffet at The Courtyard at Fullerton Hotel.
Was so damn excited!!
But in a buffet only got 20 different food is kinda sad.
There are about 20 over kind of chocolate desserts. There are very creative ones like chocolate soup but not many of them tasted very memorable.
 (from left to right): The chocolare tart, chocolate cheesecake and yummy chcolate cake! I like the chocolate cheesecake but it tasted nothing out of ordinary just likt a cheesecake coated with chocolate. The chocolate cake tasted very good but for some strange reason when we took it the 2nd time it tasted not nice le.
 (from left to right):Chocolate cake( forgot the name), mint chcolate cake and cherry chocolate cake. The chocolate cake and the cherry chcolate cake tasted the same!! +_+ I like the mint chocolate cake though tasted like mint chocolate =_= haha.
 The top is the lychee chocolate something.. you can tasted the fruit favour and there are the fruit flesh at the bottom. See the white thingy with almonds? its the chocolate soup! Tasted quite nice with the almonds. The bottom is the raspberry thingy.. Tasted nothing more unusual than the raspberry jam=_= The left is just some chocolate sause that tasted just like melted milk chocolate.
 The bottom left is the chocolate butter cookies.. tasted no different fromany other chocolate butter cookies but I like them anyway haha. The bottom right is like my favourite dessert in the buffet le..Looks yucky but the bread pudding with vanilla sause is actually very nice! The top left is some raspberry chcolate mousse but again no diff from raspberry jam. The top right is the cranberry soup! Nice with the fresh grapes!
 Just some fruits and you see the long biscuit? I kinda like it with the chocolate. Anyway the chocolate is I took it with a bowl from the fountain =_= haha
 Profiteroles in chocolate.
 The chocolate fountain! See the pastries in sticks beside the fountain?? I DIDNT SEE THAT! And I missed out that when I was there!! @#$%& Oh and see the plates of chocolates behind the fountain? They are for the chocolate drinks that they will be making for you. I asked for recommendations and the 40% cocoa tasted =/ cheated!!

 Eating happily.
