This is the devastation in Myanmar right now. While i sit in my air-conditioned room typing on the laptop, i'm thinking to myself. I complain day after day about the sweltering heat in Singapore. Or the unexpected thunderstorm once in a while. Then it hits me, what about these victims of natural disasters? They can't help themselves in this state. All they can do is to wait for aid to come. And if it comes, it might just be too late. The pictures of destruction never fail to reduce me to tears. All i can do now is to pray that they might be relieved of suffering...CHINA
After hearing so much about the China earthquake, i've realised how blessed i am to be in Singapore. After claiming more than 50,000 lives and counting, being in Singapore where only mild tremors are felt shows the safety that we so freely take for granted here.
PHILIPPINES, DAGUPAN CITY
Hearing stories everyday from the net and newspapers are heartbreaking enough. After receiving an email today from friends in Philippines, Dagupan City, made things worst. A place where i visited for a mission trip last December was hit by a Cosme Typhoon on 21 May 2008. It came as a shock to me. I've been told that the two slumps we visited were hit and it can't be any good as it was already as bare as it could be. Death toll so far is 29. Indeed a far cry from China's or Mynmmar's devastation but Dagupan has a place in my heart which makes this news so heartbreaking.

For a moment it can be there, the next it's gone forever.
