How serious is the 7.8 earthquake? Beijing, Taiwan, Hongkong, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Bangladesh and many other countries could feel the quake.
Caused great damages with almost the whole of Sichuan gone, leaving the entire place ruined, beyond salvage. The estimated damage inccurred is around US$20BILLION.
This deadly earthquake caused nearly 30,000 known deaths and estimated death toll could rise to 50,000.
Highways and many major entrances to the affected area were either damaged or blocked, this resulted in the late arrival of rescue troops.
Areas affected by the earthquake were mainly areas neglected and untouched by China's spectacular economic rise. That explains why the damage was this huge.
Many of which collapsed buildings are schools. Which means to say, many who were killed, are students of yours and my age, some even younger. According to news, a few class of kids in the kindergraden were having nap when the earthquake happened. Only a few of them made it out. They are only age between 3 to 5.
A teacher protect 4 students from the collapsing wall and died. Parent protected only child from falling wall and when the girl was being saved, she's already a orphan at the age of 3.
During this 6 days, 20 men from rescue troops reported injured and some deaths, after rescuing non stop for this few days.
Many parents lost their only child within a few minutes and similarly, many children became orphans within that few minutes.
Children survivors were saying that during the period of time when they were trapped, some of time were surround by dead bodies, which were their classmates and some saw their friends died in front of them.
How I wished I could go over. I cried when I saw the news. I've only been watching the news for this few days. This is currently my only concern. As I watch, as I sleep, as I eat, people there are trying very hard to keep themselves alive, waiting to be rescued, buried alive under tons of walls, people are trying very hard to search for survivors under the mess, people there are running out of food, water and equipments, doctors seeing survivor die in front of them due to the lack of medical equipments, nurses crying because they do not have enough medicines to help the survivors. You know, as I'm typing this, this is what they are facing over there.
Do they deserve this? No they do not. They did not pick their vegetables during their meal, they do not complain of school, they did not ask for the latest handphone model because some of them cant even afford to have one. They didnt get to choose where they would be born in, they didnt get to choose. They just do not deserve it.
Many are saying, none of my business, but let me ask u, dont you feel anything? Seeing so many deaths? Let me put it in this way, what will you feel if this happens in spore? (Even though very unlikly) Put yourself in others' shoes.
Children who survived lost their parents and saw their friends died in front of them, how are they going to grow properly with this kind of phobia, this kind of terror which would also remain in their heart? What would you do if you lost your parents unexpectedly? Alot of them are much more younger than us.
I will change my habit of picking food, I will change my habit of pickiness. Because people over there do not even have food, they are busy fleeing to a safer place.
The dam appeared to have suffered damages from the earthquake. I really do not which to see the dam bursting, because that will simply mean a higher death toll. Water will start coming in, flooding the whole of Sichuan. Unsaved people will not be saved then. I pray that it will not happen. Please Lord.
I do not want to include the pictures in, because I dont want to feel the heart ache.
Anyway this is my bitch.
Noticed? this is the past you. Look so different from now. LOL
Since you made me felt so touched, I shall make you feel that way too=P
This girl ah, sometimes, or I should say most of the time, damn bloody crazy one lo, fancy running off without returning the plates and cutleries everytime at w6 canteen. WTH.
I also dont know why is it that every school day must jio you go smoke or go eat one huh? I dont know leh. Why?
It seemed to have become a regular routine, so I can understand your feelings whenever I'm not around.
I dont know why I feel like changing some of your thinking, like your attitude towards your mother. I just feel so unright, maybe your thinking is still young and thats is why I want to influence you, to become a better person.
I also don't know why we can become bitch of bitches among all, maybe I have very little friends but I have alot of acquaintance.
It has always been like this since primary school to secondary school. I'm just not those kind who can have close friends whereby they will call me whenever they feel low or etc.
You can say that I'm bad at socializing. I dont mind. Its nothing to be ashamed of.
Yvonne Foo Yu Ling, you're the first one. I would hereby say that I will treasure this sistership. So, let me stay by your side ok?
Now go ahead and cry.
