A Solemn Celebration

JANUARY 2005.
A time of sadness, a time of celebration.We live in a time when the world does not know which to do, to cry or to cheer.And so they do both.
This year, we celebrate the strangest of new years.When the average unaffected person does not know what to do, for the reason to mourn seems irrelevent, yet we must honour those who do.
Somebody downloaded Tsunami disaster amateur footages from CNN on to the desktop of this computer,and I was watching it just now.There was one from Phuket,where the waves came so suddenly that its full strength was not known till it hit the beach,where a few people were still walking about,oblivious to the danger.I hope they are safe.In the footage, the waves were engulfing them and a lot of people from the higher level beachfront were running towards them,trying to save them.The footage ended there.So we do not know.
Chemistry test on the 1st of January was pushed back to the 8th.So my complaint, God answered.To show He still cares, He still listens and He knows.
I spent New year in watchnight service FGA KL.After that, went over to Jo and Eunice's place for a slumber party.Sad, everything was sad and quiet.That was new year's day. Sad ,solemn and quiet. No countdown,no shouts,but I'm not complaining.I saw this footage from CNN that was showed in church while we were at watchnight service praying.
Did you know, there were so many bodies in Sri Lanka that the authorities could not embalm them properly,so what they did was just to spray disinfectant on the bodies piled up.I study this type of things,decomposition of bodies and the microbes that cause that.So that image hit me hard.
I've signed up with church missions team to go to Sri Lanka to help rebuilding somewhere in April.
French lecturer says,If you can't give much money, at least we can give our services.So there.

Test season is almost over except for French paper tomorrow.Au'revoir.
