The Update.
Earthquake measuring 8.7 hit northern sumartra earlier this morning. For those who juz came back from Mars, This is rather significant becoz juz over 3 mths ago, a similar quake caused Tsunami so huge that it killed 200K++ people.
Adopted off some site on the web. If it infringes anything, pls email me for removal.
It was one terrible day for alot of people when the tsunami hit and a lifetime of sadness for those who lost their love ones in the disaster.
Many nations swing into action to help the tsunami hit areas with money and aid in whatever ways possible. Im proud to say that i attempt to make the biggest donation of my life. Note the word 'attempt' becoz it didnt went through. but thats another story altogether. However, i have resolve to do more good deeds and make regular donations to all charity organisation from that faithful day...
This time around, when a quake of 8.7 struck, everyone sat up and was ready to run.
Thankfully, the consequence this time is much less severe limiting itself to juz tremors around the region.
But i was thinking....why is it that its always near indonesia? Was it a sign? Was there a meaning behind all the sufferings?
And then i stumble upon the following article.
Adopted from the good people of TODAYONLINE.com.sg, pls read more at their website. They offer news for free. Not a lot of things are for free these days. =)
I was thinking....Maybe the quake were searching for a certain group of people. Sorry, i sound a tab bit insensitive but frankly, im a firm believer of the following pharse, 'Never bite the hand that feeds you'.
Oki, for those of you who can find any other reason, pls pm me and u stand to win a pineapple tart. I'll chk if its spoilt before i give it to you. =)
Lastly, I really hope that no one is very affected this time around and that everyone is safe except for materials damage. Houses and building can always be rebuilt. The loss of a love one would be harder to stomach..
