We all are really lucky to be safe in Singapore.

Its just so amazing that Singapore remains unaffected, when our neighbouring countries are in midst of a crisis. Good geographical location, they say.

Nth can describe the devastation in those countries.
Where bloated and decaying bodies line the streets.
As well as the carcesses of cats and dogs.
Rotting fish too.
Where the purtid stench fills the place.

Families broken up.
The purest intention of little kids to take a closer look at those corals
Resulted in them being washed away by the killer waves.
The loss of innocent lives.
Thousands of them.
Including many tourists
Not wanting more than an enjoyable getaway.

Its extremely heart-wrenching too
To know that the people of those countries, though lucky to even be alive
Are left with nth now.
Not even their homes, or their loved ones.
Amid all the confusion and chaos
They can only wonder why this had to happen to them.
The tsunami indeed resulted in many widows,widowers and orphans.
The angst and hatred of these people are understandable.

They are just helpless souls, hoping the entire episode is just a nightmare that they'd soon wake up from.


With articles of the disaster splashed across the newspapers for the past few days, how could anyone remain unmoved????????

And this had to happen during Christmas.
Wasn't Christmas supposed to be a joyful season??????
A season of peace, love and happiness??????

Instead, this Yuletide season brought about a tradegy.
A tradegy that claimed tens of thousands of lives.



Here we are in Singapore, living our lives as usual.
Yet, we've learnt not to take anything for granted.
Our safety, and most importantly our loved ones.
Be glad and relieved that Singapore has been really lucky.
However, luck is never always there.
We've got to be prepared for such a disaster.
If it really happens to us one day.
