Tsunami!

The recent tsunami in Asia has taken 40 000 lives so far.. and still counting. A major shock as many of the places affected have never faced a tsunami in a very very very long while, including Malaysia. Thus, we're unprepared for such things.

Many of those who died were children.. really sad. To hear the stories of the distraught parents.. many are bound to feel guilty for something that isn't their fault. To lose their precious children, some barely began their life..

Too late to talk about what the goverment should have done. This would have happened anyway. Too late to turn back now.

Many of the people who died were tourists.. can you imagine dying on a holiday?

Many people are saying how fortunate they are not to have gone to Penang for holiday when it happened. Not just Penang, other places/countries too.

It was like a bait at the beaches. When the first wave brought in many fishes, all the people at the beach when to check it out. Some were excited, considered it a blessing.

Guess what? The next wave washed them all away. It was really like a bait, as I see it. Who put the bait out, I don't know.

God bless
