what on earth is happening in the U.S.?
it's crazy. when i saw the headlines on the papers this morning, i knew it was more than just a hurricane that's affecting the people. something serious is going on. this is scary.
i had no idea how bad the situation was, until i really sat down and read the pages and pages of reports printed on today's newspapers. it actually got to a point where the mayor of New Orleans said that it was no longer a place to live in and that everyone who could, should evacuate if they can. "Uninhabitable", he said.
this hurricane is not the only thing destroying the people's lives. the lack of speed of the sending of resources is killing them as well. when i read about President Bush's slow response to the disaster, and how he was holidaying at his ranch while it happened, it got me to thinking: what if this had happened in Singapore? what if we had the same situation in our hands?
i guess things will probably be different because we're so tiny, we'll have no where to run to for shelter, and we'll be swept away, AS A WHOLE. yes, we'll be off the map.
quote BBC news: " There are many helicopters, landing and leaving like a bizarre scene from Vietnam portrayed by the Hollywood studios. Only this scene is real."
i cannot emphasize again how scary that must be. and looters everywhere trying to make use of the situation to do more bad things makes it worse.
i cannot believe this is happening.

maybe they're right. maybe there is such thing as the end of the world. maybe there's an end to this evolution of homosapiens.
singapore'll sink immediately if it hit us. except hurricanes don't come near us. then again, there's always a possibility.
this will only cause more people to hate bush i guess. but really empathise with them. who would've thought they'd ask people to leave cos MIAMI (MIAMI for christ sake!) is 'inhabitable'.
i'm starting to believe that there IS the end of the world. i'm starting to believe its true.
first U.S.A. where next?
first super power down, next to go.
afterall, the whole series of destruction is already happening, before the natural diasters. i guess it's nature's way of disciplining us.
'nature's way of disciplining us'.
EXACTLY! that's the phrase to be used. it is isnt it?
mother nature's way. that is sooo true.
=) of course. mother nature, oh heavenly saint. haha. what other ways are there anyway? :p
i dont think mother nature's a saint. heh. and i dont think there are any other ways becuase this is it. Her way of disciplining us for taking the world for granted.
