Anyway, I just received an sms regarding donation drive for victims of Sichuan earthquake victims. Really appreciated it, and hopefully they really get to do something about it! Shall not disclose since I didn't get her permission to talk about it. (: But still, thank you! On a heavier note, I was really..I can't describe the emotions. But it was a mixture between devastated and touched at the same time. The cyclone in Myanmar, the earthquake in China. I felt overwhelmed by what Mr Low said, that while there were people dying in China and Myanmar we're here worrying about our due assignments and such.
I know its undeniable that the world goes on, even with these tragedies, but it was really hard to swallow the fact that we appear to care so little about them. Would we be doing the same, if it actually happened to us? Sorry if it sounds a little too pessimistic or people might go, why are you cursing us? But think about it. The world is in such a state where nothing can be definite. That we will NEVER be hit by any natural disaster. I sometimes wonder what has happened to our Earth. I remember I actually cried when I saw the papers with photos from the earthquake. Mothers who were crying over their lost children. Orphans still struck dumb from the loss of their parents.
But I was touched when I saw effort being put in to help them. Was just watching the TV yesterday and saw that Taiwan actually had a fundraising..show? I don't know what's it called. But it was really touching that fundraising efforts were going on.
And I really got to go finish up my SIA. Screwed. And I still haven't read up about Huang Na. For sabbaticals.
