The morn after...Tsunami horror
been keeping track of channelnewsasia these few days...reminds me of those times back in 2001 when i was oso glued to channelnewsasia coz of e 911 terrorist attacks... Hw ominous tt this killer wave episode tt hit Asia wud date exactly a yr to the Iran earthquake tt took place in 2003, hmmm.... seems like disasters always seem to strike at e end of e yr, it jus needs to add tt devastating touch to a oredi devastated yr? hmmm..wad am i tokking abt? 2004 has been relatively peaceful? haha..seems like e world nvr reallie enjoys much peace nowadays....ever since 1997, if i can rem correctly...all e financial turmoils then oil crisis, e fight agst terrorism, ahha! I rem nw...2004 has been a terrible yr with rgds to the weather conditions...lotsa floods, snowstorms, heat waves n of cuz natural disasters...
Call me ignorant...i often cannot understand hw waves can wipe off entire villages...i felt e same when my sec sch sci tchr told us abt this family who went boating in e vicinity of the Niagara Falls...n then they fell into the waterfall n were crushed to death by the thundering waters...i was incredulous...n nw even as experts come forth to testify tt e force of those killer waves equals e impact of several atomic bombs, i guess i'll nvr be able to truly understand e magnitude of the tsunami until i'm in e midst of tt situation itself...i hv no doubts it'll be horrifying, esp given my phobia of water...okie nt water..but rather e deep waters...ocean, sea...Saw e special prog of channelnewsasia explaining wad tsunamis were abt, there was this documentary filmed yrs ago on the killer tidal waves tt hit Japan in '46 n '60 n they oso covered e Hawaii tsunami detector system. Read e news tt day n seems like there's no such system in Southern Asia, unlike tt in Pacific Ocean..no wonder, it's costly n guess e possibility of a tsunami striking was too minimal to account for such high costs incurred....e dark result: 63,000 deaths n still rising..
enuff on tis gloomy topic...been sitting my arse off at hm without dg any running for a few days liaoz...eh, okie, 1 day onli actually..shud i head off for a run nw or ltr...okie, ltr....nw back to e irritating CORS system..

I seriously do not think that "sometimes you think you don't know, but they know you best" can apply to someone who does not even know you well enough and have to resort to being anonymous in order to talk to you more. that sentence applies more to long time good friends who know you inside out and also parents whom we often take their advice for granted.
