Every channel here is covering the earthquake that hit Japan, and its very disturbing and sad to see images of the tsunami washing over the land, fires engulfing areas of the town. it reminds me of the documentary i watched on the Kobe Earthquake 15 years ago. its scary, and its sad.
what's encouraging is how everyone bands together to help Japan, and all other countries that might be affected by the earthquake. Japanese passengers trying to get a flight out back home, desperately calling home for news of family and friends. All the people on twitter, praying for japan. and that #prayforjapan is trending. its heartwarming, in a bittersweet kinda way. :/
but the thing that scares me the most, is how easily nature brings an entire nation to its knees in a couple of minutes. its horrible, and i never thought i would ever see these images again after the Indonesian earthquake in 2004. worse still, the news is showing footage from a room in Sendai, which was freaking close to the epicentre. urgh.
in less important news, i only got 7.5 for IELTS. its sad to see that my english is actually this cui, damn.
need to work harder, it scares me a lot, honestly, how i dont seem to be doing as well as i hoped. either my expectations are too high, or i have to work harder.
