5/25/2008 10:05:00 PM Just finished watching the charity show on Channel 8 for the Si Chuan earthquake victims, and I've got the feeling to blog this out. It's really a sad thing seeing so many victims of the earthquake in search of their loved ones, never knowing what happened to them, whether if they are still alive or not. Crying and shouting out their names in the videos really made me feel that we as Singaporeans really have a blessed life, and we might not know how blessed we are until this earthquake incident had happened. We saw how sudden and traumatized these people are in these videos, and it really made my eyes watery. There's this incident where the video showed this guy which is under the rock, he was trying really very hard to keep himself awake, and telling the soldiers how much he loved his wife, and when the soldiers finally get him out of the rock, the man died in the hospital. When I heard that he's dead, I was like speechless. A man with so much determination to see his wife again, to get himself out of the rock, hanging on for so long just for his survival, died while receiving treatment in the hospital. And there's another incident when there's this little boy who's trapped under the debris and the soldiers couldn't get underneath to get him out, and the boy's leg was stucked in the rock, so the soldiers had to bring a saw down to the little boy and he's got to saw his own legs off in order for them to rescue him. But on the way to the hospital, the little boy died. =( All these incidents really made me feel how fortunate I am in my state right now, able to study, together with my family, and so on. I truely hope that the aftershocks in Si Chuan will be over soon, so that they can rebuild the place with all the donations that they had received. =)
Alright, today's been a very tired day for me, went to play soccer in the morning, and right now my shoulder is roasting red. Lol. And I didn't sleep in a correct posture last night, my neck is strained, and plus the exercise I had, it's really a very tiring day for me as both my legs had cramps while playing. And my dad rubbed some Shaolin oil on my neck just now it's feeling better already and the feeling is very shiok. Haha. 2 more weeks to the end of term, projects deadlines are very near, class tests are approaching, and I guess my time will be very limited. Hope that everything will turn out fine and I'll be able to clear everything. =D |
