When I came back from OBS, my sister told me about the 7.8 major earthquake that happened on Monday at Si Chuan (四川) after the cyclone in Myanmar. The news was really shocking, but it really shows how unpredictable life and everything, especially Mother Nature, can be, making us reflect on how to cherish life. It also has shown how warm-hearted the society is, with donations and aid from other countries not directly involved. Even celebrities donated money.
I would like to say that even though some people may not have that much money, many small donations can make up a large sum of money, as the chinese saying goes, 积少成多. I was during OBS that time and I really realise that what I have gone through is nothing compared to children who have lost their parents, wives who have lost their husbands, and survivors with no home. Looking at the pictures on The Straits Times, I can't help but feel bitter. People are homeless and losing their family. If I were them, I really don't know what would happen.
Fight hard to survive!
