Welcome to my BRAND NEW blog~ The last blog has been creased, well it served me well, archiving all my ups and downs, past and present. My life changed from the very day I started my blog in 2004~2010. It changed everything, my perception of things, my goals, my loves, social circle and so on. But I grew up~ Now, I see things differently, things around me, myself and my life. I learned in the process to treasure every moment and try not to take things for granted. Once it is lost, it'll never come back for some reason~ And for this change, I want my life to be better and more positive~ So the reason that is for this new born baby :>

Have you all done your part? Japan Disaster Relief

Again, apologies to everyone for my lack of updates..

February was a busy month with Chinese NY, my trip to Hong Kong and rush rush meetup session with my friends and famliy. But it was fun! :>

I'll probably update the photos in the next entry as I am busy with work at the moment.

Sigh~ So many things happened in March alone, don't you think?

Biggest of all is the Japan Earthquake of 9 Magnitude + the 10 meters high Tsunami that hit Sendai ~_~
What is left is debris and lot's of mess to clear. What more to add, nuclear explosion and possible leak of harmful radiation to the public. 50 mens risk their lives to clear that mess, all to an end of suicide, we all know. I salute to them! To scarifies life for the whole Japanese nation and the world. I salute you~

Shocking as the news develop everyday on BBC, NHK and others, I too felt the devastation felt by the people of Japan. Food, water and shelter became so important to them now. And the harsh cold weather and wind. Who will give them warm? I can't be physically there but as a human to share the same earth as them, I did my part by just giving them a small token of donation. Just today~ I was busy with work and all I did not have time and to be reminded for this act. My sincere apologies if my donation comes in so late~

Donating was easy. But was not clear on their website http://www.redcross.org.sg/

Therefore I explore the site and finally found http://www.redcross.org.sg/Japan-Disaster-2011.phtml
