I think Singapore is very damn lucky to be situated in between Malaysia and Indonesia in a position where the 2 countries shield Singapore from the 20 feet (about 6 metres) tidal waves which resulted from the 8.9 magnitude earthquake...
I wonder Singapore will still stand if we were faced with the tidal waves directly... I think Singapore might sink as we are mostly made of reclaimed materials... lol...
Wow, i couldn't sleep just now and tried to surf the web. But after reading the news, i think i'll need extra strong sleeping pills to get me to slumberland. Feel so lucky, feel so lucky man~!!!
Ok, it's not right to feel happy while others (other countries) are suffering from the after-effects of the disaster. Let's observe a moment of silence. I think Singapore should do something to help the countries which fell victim to this ferocious earthquake.. Man... I can't help to feel jealous of Singapore if i'm from the neighbouring countries...
It's not everyday that this happen to countries near me... It's a natural disaster. It's awesome. The feeling of something of great power just bypassed you, while the ones that stood in its path fell. It's hard to describe this feeling.
