Earth

What is happening to our Earth?

First, there's the tsunami. Then, there's the cyclone which hit Myanmar. And just less than 2 hours ago, a powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 hit China, affecting buildings as far as Bangkok.

Is our Earth trying to tell us something? That it is time for us to stop causing damage to it? And that is why It is retaliating by having all these natural disasters?

I'm lucky to be here in Singapore where there are no natural disasters (at least for now). And that is why I feel for those who are affected. Imagine enjoying your lunch and watching your favourite movie on DVD, and then suddenly within minutes you're scrambling for your life, and you find that you not only lose everything that you had, but also lose your family.

It's time that we start to treat our Earth well.

For now, what we can do as Singaporeans, is to donate whatever you can for the victims of Cyclone Nargis which hit Myanmar. For now, they can only accept cash donations due to logistical problems.

I've donated SGD200 to the Salvation Army. It might not be a huge amount, but I certainly hope that the money can help someone.

Friends who are reading my blog, even if it's SGD25 or SGD50, just go donate. Help those people in need.
