Indeed, the past year had been bad. Honestly, I think the past decade had been bad. Think about all the events that took place, SARS, 911 WTC, Taiwan 924, then the pigs epidemic, bird flu, lost our ex president, two Iraq wars, PAP said impose GST, then happily increase to 5%, the recession, increase in oil price, SIA retrenchment, the Iran twins died in Singapore (kanna fire for being helpful), KNN NS cut to two years only, gas attack in Japan Subway, death of Israeli leader (Arafat), low birth rate, Nicol highway collapse, boss said no bonus, charity show one phone call started with $2 each till now $8 per call........

Shit, it had been a bad year.................

My sympathies to the victims and their families. This incident struck home for me as I had planned to be there a couple of days ago but I could not get a room at the JW Marriott. I even bought airtickets BKK-HKT but refunded them when the hotel room reservation did not come through.

The day of the tidal earthquake I was at BKK airport and all domestic schedules were haywire - my flight to CEI was delayed 4 hours. I did not mind because these are unfortunate times.

Life's full unexpectancies. One moment you are sunbathing, jetskiing, snorkelling or even checking into a beachside hotel and the next moment, you are dead. Especially poignant when it occurs in a place we are are so familiar with like Phuket.

Perhaps life is not meant to be a journey or an adventure. Just live it to the fullest that you can day by day so when the time comes and you are at the pearly gates, you can tell yourself "I have live without regrets".

Meaning to life, I guess there is none.

Ermm ... there's no space in Singapore Straits for any Tsunami to build up in the first place.

Damn!!!
Still couldn't get hold of the gal which i knew in Phuket.
This is SHIT!!!
She just left Sg 3 weeks ago to BKK for a week to meet her frens and going back to Patong after that.
Now I don't know where she is.
Hope that she is alright and call me back.

Regular TV programming was interrupted last night showing scenes and live reportage from the funeral rites of the King's grandson who was a killed during the incident.

The grandson was the son of Princess Ubolratana who was excommunicated and stripped of her royal title some time back for marrying an American. They were later divorced and her royal title was reinstated some years ago. Her children, she had two a boy and a girl, do not have any royal titles.

The deceased grandson was a really good looking teenager and lived in LA most of the time but was on holiday in the Phuket area.

This is life's unpredictability at its best, what you lose now may be a blessing disguise.

It is so sad that so many lives has been lost due to a natural disaster of such large proportions. However, I believe that this would wake up the government of the countries who have mentioned that they have no money to get equipment to monitor such sesmic activities in the Indian Ocean.

Many were not spared in this disaster and we can only pray for those that have been injured and those that have lost loved ones. We hope that we in Asia can be spared another round of epidermic, disaster or any form of suffering that would affect our fellow men
