sawadikap!
i just got home from Phuket.. went there with my dad for 3 days..
errmm gahh i got a lot of "why only you and dad?" thing from people..
so here's it is..
my parents planned for me to get a vacation after SAM was over.. because they felt i worked my butt off the whole year and probably needed to go to Phuket to see topless women that gave me nightmares..
okay errm seriously.. my parents wanted to treat me to a trip after the results came out.. so yea.. dad booked 2 tickets to phuket.. mom and sis had school to worry about..
it was an awesome trip! (aside from the topless women of course *shudders*)
it was just good to take a break from the daily routine (not like i have much of a routine to begin with , especially after finals ended last year) ..
but yea.. i was just at complete ease.. and it was nice to just let go of the real world and go watch hot men ride on jet skis :P
im watching a dvd my dad bought while we were in Phuket .. Tsunami : The Wave of Destruction...
a good insight to what really happened..the buildup to the tsunami and the aftermath..
sigh.. now i have tears filling up my eyes..
its pretty sad la actually .. like to us when we watch the news we see numbers.. digits that symbolise lost lives but in reality its so much bigger and more heart-wrenching than it seems..
the only consolation being that people around the world willingly opened their hearts and wallets in support of the aid campaigns and collections for victims..
gahh now i hate the tsunami 70 thousand times more than i did in 2004 :(
and yes, while we were all relaxing at the beach it did hit me.. just 2 years ago people lost their lives to these waters..
and its amazing to see how far they have come from the destruction ..
every 100 metres you would see "caution" signboards.. guiding people on what to do in case there is a tsunami alert..
all in all the place has just come up so fast.. you'd never imagine something as tragic as the tsunami once washed this place into nothingness.. or at least close to nothingness
(errm..is nothingess even a word? :S)
sorry la im actually a bit tired..havent been sleeping well (YES, its the topless women!)
with that , i shall go hit the sack now..
adios |
At 12:50 PM,
Bah!!! People die all the time and suffer all over the world with or without the tsunami. Don't let yourself get worked up by the media over this, it was just cool to report for awhile.
Take a walk around KL City and see suffering folks first hand ;D
