For the past few days, shocking news have been hogging the headlines. With the most notable one being
1. the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti, a small country on the East of US. The aftermath is heart-wrenching. About 200,000 or more innocent lives were lost in this catastrophic disaster. Yes, another disaster has threatened to wipe out human.. 6 years after the terrifying tsunami that battered Asian populations.
Amazingly after 12 days, there are still a few really really lucky survivors being pulled out from the rubble.. it is truly unbelievable.. How to survive without food for more than a week??!! Of course, these cases are exceptionally rare, but they do happen. As proven.. Anyhow, one lesson we can learn from the recent devastating earthquake is : TO NEVER GIVE UP EVEN AS DEATH AWAITS.
This is so true. yes.. u can always say that the few survivors are the luckiest lot. But dont forget, they have shown us the indomitable spirit they have, to hang on at the brink of death;to rekindle the faint ray of light to survive and certainly not to give up easily and wait for the last breath. That's the way to stay alive.
2. The dragon boat mishap in Penang
My first reaction to this unexpected event was utter sadness. Afterall, the victims are only 16 and 17, and they were shown a hasty exit to their life. I can imagine the sorrow that engulfed the bereaved family members of the deceased, who have been shell-shocked by the accident that claimed 6 lives.
A teacher was among the 6 victims who perished. One can only feel sad and reflect on the fate of the dragon boat members, who have never thought that their lives were to end on that fateful day.
I think the school should strongly be condemned for this calamitous mishap. In the first place, why should they select the sea as their training ground?? And there were insufficient life jackets for the dragon boat members to wear. See.. It is already a disaster waiting to be happen. It is just a matter of time before disaster strikes.. and it happened in a blink of an eye... As the saying goes.. `malang tidak berbau'.. =(
For those who died in this tragedy, REST IN PEACE. And for the school, please show your sense of responsibility to investigate on this matter.
I'm overly saddened by such accident.. Yet another lesson to learn.
which is : not to join such clubs if you can't swim.! Simple. ==
3. A girl who died after being crushed by a television set
This particular accident happened last week when the girl was happily feasing her eyes onto the colourful and vibrant TV program from TV. And what on Earth did she do to invoke the anger of the TV?!!.. She didn't notice the wirings on the floor and she slipped. That's how the heavy TV managed to fall and tumble on her.
T_T It really is a freak accident, if u come to ur senses.
SO parents ( if any ) who are reading this, please keep an eye on your children at all times before another child being unnecessarily killed by the ubiquitous TV.
It is a crime! ==
AND NOW COMES THE GOOD NEWS
4. My beloved Manchester United is back on top of the Premier League (at least for now)
Rooney, I love u. Love u. Love u.
For your 4 goals lifted the team to the summit of the EPL after 3 months.
For displaying such succulent performance
For lifting my mood esp after the last Man U game I watch (the bitter defeat to Leeds)
For being Man Utd's leading scorer with 19 goals to boast.
For your loyalty in vowing that you would never ever leave Man Utd (hope it is true)
For being such an important playmaker who is a-ZILLION times better than the C.R (who)
