Right now, I can't wait to be back home. Was watching the news just now, and there was this report on the Taiwan 921 earthquake. Apparently, Taiwan has 44 分层地块, and there is a high likelihood there there will be another earthquake, how soon? I don't know because the news didn't state! :( A few weeks ago, days before the Si Chuan earthquake, my rommie was telling me she felt the effects of an earthquake around 3AM. Shucks. It's really really scary, the possibility of it happening, just that you don't know when it will strike, and you can't do anything about it. These days, there are several news on the Si Chuan earthquake, shocking, traumatising, dramatic but real kind of news ( you know how their media function here) and I was really really disturbed by some of the reports. It's simply too scary and heart wrenching. There was this man who was trapped under a rubble for 100 plus hours, and when the rescue team located him, he was still alive and able to speak. They then made a call to his wife, and over the phone, he was telling his wife that when he gets back, he hope that they would be able to live in harmony, and he would press on in the hope of returning home. But because of the difficulty in getting him out of the rubble, the rescue took several hours and stretched into the night, by the time they got him out, he had already stopped breathing. The news showed him talking to his wife, him being determined to get back home, the rescuerers trying to wake him up by calling his name many many times, in vain.

So to all of you out there, please treasure all the love that you have around you.

I love all of you :)
