okay so we're in the fresh new year of 2005. Happy New Year evrybody!
UNfortunately, the year 2004 hasnt ended quite nicely..just on the day after xmas..the tsunami hit..leavin about 150 thousands dead..many of em children.
As quoted by etino on channelnewsasia's forum: It has affected everyone ... prayers for them, be thankful for ourselves. It's a wake up call for humans, why must we kill each other over petty things. See how devastated when mothernature is mad. It is really sad that the ones effected are of poor and unprepared countries.

Evry human being on earth shd stop all riots and petty disputes..its a time we shd all stand together. In aceh. Indonesia, its like a city of death..bodies stuck in trees..legs, hands protruding from stacks of concrete..everything is totally wrecked..the buildings are flattened..even the survivors havent been eating for days since the tsunami attack. They are crying. in some places, aid hasnt been given since the places are inaccessible..bridges..infrastructures gone, no way to contact the outside world. There is just too many pple, too many islands affected that aid cant be reached to all. Villages have been totally wiped out. the world is crying for em. Lets all put disputes aside and think of how lucky we reli are..and put ourselves to better use.

there was this singaporean who was interviewed..he was in the malaysia when the disaster struck, fortunately he was in a car and he could drive away..there were loadsa cars doin that..but there were the poorer and weaker commoners who had no cars and were running on bare feet..some women carrying their kids were crying and running helpless..even the old were running and crying..But that guy couldnt stop to help cos the other cars would honk and stuff..so he just drove away feeling guilty and he broke down crying. id heard a paralysed man was stuck in his house and couldnt run and so died in his house when the waves crashed in. Even walls had been smashed open..boats in smithers..chairs brokened..windows smashed broken..the pple in the hotel sleeping at that time hadnt been prepared and the waves just washed them away in great force and impact. Pple running to the roofs of hotels who hadnt clung onto anything had fallen when the waves pushed them down. Its too sudden. Death toll is still increasing every hour. currently its 150 000.
