THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW

Days have passed since disaster first struck. Damning figures have reported more than 80,000 casualties from the resulting tsunami waves thus far and is showing no sign of slowing. This is not helped by the fact that rotting corpses and poor sanitation have contributed to the emergence of an epidemic waiting to happen and wreck havoc on an already worsening situation.

The term 'living hell' is an understatement, as far as what I make of the images seen on tv. There was this account of a mother who had to let go of either one of her sons because she couldn't hold on to both of them and there was another man who lost his wife but was reunited with his son. What consolation would that be? if any? Should one take heart in that precious lives were saved at the expense of the other? I believe it was a difficult time for many victims.

Life is but a fleeting moment. Cherish whatever you have right now and pluck up the courage to pursue the things you want in life. Cos' nobody would want to live a life full of regrets, thinking about the 'what ifs' and the 'what nots'. Meanwhile, you can do something good by contributing to the relief efforts towards helping the disaster victims. Details are as follow.
