Gosh..the random fury of Mother Nature...the rage of Indian Ocean!!
those deadly tsunamis on tat fateful Boxing DAy..
without any early warning..just happened so suddenly!.. so fast..too fast 4 many 2 react in time...2 be saved in the nick of time..

perhaps..the matter of life or death.in such point of time..ulitmately..lies in the hands of our Mighty God..& Lady Luck as well.beyond our control..beyond the reach of sciences even.. the death toll just keep increasin..oh my god..now.it has rocketed to 114,000...
i sincerely hope & pray tat it will stop multiplying..

but that...cos on top of the many bodies found, there are many missing locals & holiday goers..@ the once beautiful Phuket.. Phi phi island.. Sri Lanka..Tamil Nadu..Penang..etc.. were literally swept off their feet tat fine morning ..off guard..by the raging waves..as high as 10 m or more! Can u imagine how immense the force of the tsunamis were when there was report of the island of sumatra..having shifted fr its inital geographical spot on the ocean by 30m?? Gosh..the force must b tat enormous to be able 2 shift such a big island like sumatra by such a dist..30 m..not 30 cm..mind u..

The whole world's shaken by this saddening news..esp during a supposedly joyous festive time of the year..x'mas & usherin of a brand new yerar 2005! This is indeed the natural calamity of 2004.. dampenin all the happy moods..esp when.i 'm very affected by those heart aching..photos of those victims & loved ones of the dead... I'm sure tat many fellow singaporeans just like me..felt much sorrow & grief for these unfortunate victims..our fellow neighbours in Asia..Indeed the South Asia's devastated!! All these heavenly-like beach resorts..with well-planned amenties by the inviting , clear. emerald..sea had been destroyed overnight!! within that few minutes..of massacre by the sea..my heart sank ..thinkin about the after tsunamis photos flashed all over the newspapers cover pages..

Err..perhaps..the tragic aftermath of sunday's deadly tsunamis (Jap 4 " harbour waves") serves as a wake-up call 2 everyone..worldwide..that the biggest threat to mankind..our human security is not just only ourselves, not even the much-feared terrorists.. but simply..our Environment we are living in.. tat we have exploited much over the years..greenhouse effect, global warming, deforestation, the depletion of ozone layer..the list goes on...

Ultimately, the harsh reality remains tat we r after all @ the mercy of Mother Nature..recallin back those deadly typhoons, earthquakes..eg.kobe..etc, volcanoes, hurricanes.. tat r blind in their actions..completely merciless.. Coming 2 ponder abt, these weather changes, shifting of tetonic plates are just part & parcel of the earth movement & creation of new lands ..

So who's the one..ultimately @ fault..no one..i guess..tis's just a way of life since the evolution of Man...or perhaps it's just God's destiny 4 us..humankind..regardless of religion, race, nationality... Human r indeed exploiting their environment over years...wat goes around comes around..oops..am i rite with the proverb.. watever.. oh no....me talkin cock liao..

I sincerely pray tat. the death toll soon stop goin on & on...& tat all the victims..can pull through esp when there's the fear of outbreak..cholera..etc..

tat's about it.haiz..the tragedy of life...time 2 sleep ..& reflect upon 2004 again..b4 the new year 2005 approaches...in 23 hours' time...
