Not another killer wave

A second tsunami nearly visited Asia again. Another earthquake hit Sumatra, after that tragic incident on 26 December. This time, it wasn't as serious, but a lot of neighboring countries felt the tremors. Japan recently had one big earthquake too isn't it!

Me? I was trying to recall what I was doing at that same time, probably was logging off the internet.

If I did not remember wrongly, a friend said these natural disasters are a form of population control. All the while, a lot of Asia countries like Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are experiencing low birth rate and a worrying sign of aging population in the future. Yet another part of the continent, children are losing their lives or their parents. Ironical eh!

A series of earthquakes are predicted to follow after the biggest one that triggered tsunami, this one is just a beginning?? Somehow it is quite relieving to see how other countries are offering help and assistance to the affected area, human relationship should be more like this isn't it? There, I have to say I'm proud of Singapore for this one :)))
