Tsunami Asia
Today I had nothing much to do. I felt quite bored, seriously bored again. Morever, I had severe headache today. I was only able to wake up around 3 pm. I had two pills of tablet and went back to sleep. I woke up at 5pm when i received sms from Douglas. I went to visit his condo :Parc Vista. It was very beautiful condominium, quite spacious though. How I wished to stay in such condominium.
We went to Jurong Point to chill out at Coffee Bean cafe before I decided not to go gym since it was 7.30pm. It was kinda of late to travel to Orchard for gym. I went back home , eat my dinner and watched the news. A tradegy had occured in Asia:An earthquake, Tsunami measuring 8.9 on the richter scale hit the coast off northern sumatra, some 40 kilometers from the seabed, causing massive tidal waves to hit costal areas off the indian ocean. already as it is, places in india,penang, sri lanka & phuket, amongst others, have reported many deaths and countless people feared missing. to date, there have been 23,000 deaths reported, and the death toll is still expected to climb.It was the largest earthquake of century. It really reminded me of the show : Deep impact. However this is considered as mini compared to those at Deep Impact.
This incident only set me thinking about fragile and unpredictable life is. One could be relaxing on the beach one moment, and then be swept out to sea, never to return to shore again. And no one could stop such natural catastrophe. Is this a present from God on boxing day or a hidden message from God to inform that the world is not a heaven: I clear about the signs of the doomsday despite being not so religious but tonight, I said a silent prayer for those who perished in this disaster. may their souls rest in peace as well as having blessing for God for the safety of others and also those in Singapore.
I was blessed for not going to Phuket on christmas day which I had planned last minute for short getaway. Truly blessed.
Imagine what would have happened if singapore had been hit by the tidal waves? Especially those in the west coast where so many family and others went for picnic on weekened. This would certainly a wake up call for everyone in Singapore.However Sinagpore was situated strategically in Asia.Hence unlikely, we would face such natural disasters and we should be thankful.
Tragic. Just tragic before 2005.Let's pray for the best.Amen.
