Saw the news..only to know about the "arrival" of more and more natural disasters..
from earthquakes to tsunamis to typhoons..
who know's what will be next..??

Many lives are lost..with many more griefing about the loss of their loved ones..
Survivours are left homeless..with no food and water..
and not forgetting the diseases that will hit them soon..

For those who have not been affected YET..
they have been evacuated from their homes..
maybe that would be the last time they will see their homes..
and imagine the fear that one has to go through when you are aware of the mass destruction you are gonna face when disaster strucks..
that feeling....i doubt i would want to experience it..

As for us..
living in a safe and "disaster-free" country like Singapore
which many are obviously still not happy about..
Just look around you..the turmoil that others are going through..
Shouldn't we be grateful with the things that we have..
At least we do not need to worry about natural disasters hitting us right..??
Can you imagine Singapore being hit by an earthquake..??
I guess..the picture would be rather clear..
I am grateful now..really..i am.

Climatologist have said that the world has been facing increasing numbers of natural disasters..
Why..??
Because of what we humans have done..
We have made mother earth sick..
But we are not stopping what we are doing..
Maybe we can't..but can we slow down..??
Ok..maybe to be fair..
Many countries have been trying to save gaia..
but what about Singapore..??
What about us..??
We have been blessed to be living in this country..
Yet..we are contributing to the destruction of earth..
I am guilty..but i will try to do my little part..

Oh my..i seriously sound like some environmentalist trying to promote recycling..
but..that wasn't really my agenda..
i just wanted to highlight what is going on around the world..
around us..
and i sincerely thank god for what he has blessed me with..
[not some religon promoter too ok..?]

But..let's just learn to be grateful for the things we have...
and cherish..
because it may actually be a luxury to others..
and i really hope this will be the end of the disasters..
