Just to say that my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Sri Lanka and Thailand, Maldives, Southern India, across Indonesia, and especially those members that may have family, friends or know of anyone that may have been affected by this very sad and overwhelming situation.

You're right Teresa. The number of victims is increasing, it's very sad. Hope there won't have big after-shocks   |

thanks zita..as i've said in a few other places. singapore's naturally sheltered by the indonesian islands and the malay peninsula. so we're relatively safe though we did feel a few tremors.. which is amazing really...seeing that it was such a huge quake. last i've heard it was upgraded to a 9.0

When I heard about this quake my thoughts went to Singapore first. But then Vass told me that you're okay and Singapore wasn't much affected so I could have a sigh of relief. |

Thank you all for your concern for Asian people. Really sad to see a lot of people lost and injured. All New Year Celebrations are cancelled, which is appropriate coz I don't think anyone has mood of joy. My friend said, all she needed is staying home with mom and dad and hold them tightly. However, under this circumstance, there are somethings good happen. Yesterday I went to a foundation which response to rescue and taking care of bodies. Hundred of people are there to donate some money to the foundation for buying supplies, coz' the news said many of coffins are needed. And the Red Cross Center also filled with donators who want to give their blood for the victim. Cloth and food was sent to the southern of Thailand. Children who lost their parents are looked after by nurses and volunteers mom. Many of helping hands are moving all over Thailand. These generosity make people who sad, scared and panic feel warm and clam. So I believe that the situation will get better soon. There're still smile on people face. That's a good sign, isn't it? |
