i have decided to pick up some extra skills. skills that will benefit me and my future. i will spend all my free time learning and nothing else. I will cut down my shopping and save money. i will bring jolie for more walks. I am washing my hands of everything else. all material things only bring disappointment.

what is my small suffering compared to those who are suffering from the aftermath of the tsunami? its nothing. whatever i do now, i will think of them and think how lucky i am to be alive, with a roof over my head, a radio to listen to, and good food to eat. I hope all of the victims will be able to brace themselves and rebuild their country. I really wish i can go there to be a volunteer but i have to think of my family.

may god bless all of you. may god give you the strength to face each new day with new hopes and promises of a new beginning. may god bring all the lost souls of the disaster up to heaven to be with him. may god also bless the volunteers, the doctors, nurses and all helping out, bless them with strength and good health.

this natural disaster has made me seen another side of life. what may be here today might be gone tomorrow. we all have what we have today because of god. he gives and he takes. treasure what you have, expecially those around you, for you will never know how long you will have them with you. give and take, forgive and forget.

I have also seen tons of singaporeans helping out, carrying bags of clothes, boxes of food, donating and contributing to the victims. its very heart warming to see young and old doing their small parts. i saw a very small girl, carrying a bag of clothes that might just weigh as much as her... i saw senior folks at the supermarket buying boxes of food to donate... its all so encouraging. it makes me want to do more for them.

thank you, all of you
