HeYOS!
wah kaoz...you mean they even count SPACES? can't they just read a few more spaces...will they die if their eyes move to the right by a few more mm ? haha...thank goodness our summaries are not done this way...will jus die man...
actually...the past week was supposed to be quite a happy holiday...in fact it was for me...we went skiing at Muju Resort..and it was absolutely fun!!! we also visited the Reunification Park that sits right on the border that divides North Korea and South Korea...North Korea was like a deserted place...so quiet and devoid of life...and worst of all...if we get too close to the fence that demarcates the division, we will get shot by troops that are at all times stationed on the other side...ready to shoot...wah kaoz...such is the tense relationship between 2 parties that are essentially one race and one people...i guess that was the most meaningful visit cos it was like history coming alive!!!
But upon returning to Singapore...the bad news hit us...initially...because of a breakdown in communication...we tot only phuket was affected...but later we found out that the disaster on a much larger scale...there was actually a tsunami that affected countries from Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia to Indonesia.
Singapore is incredibly lucky.
We are totally UNTOUCHED. Not even a drop of water.
well...no one can guarantee that we will always be so lucky...and if a mega tsunami does hit us...our island will be completely wiped out...
right now...there is no mood to celebrate the new year with the death toll from the disaster being over a hundred thousand...i really feel very sad for what has happened...somehow...i just realised how small and vulnerable human beings are at the hands of nature...and we still think we are smart and superior...
