Natural Disasters

If you don't know about the Earthquake and Tsunami hitting Japan last night, you must be living in a cave. But I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it since it has become the number 1 topic on Twitter and of course, everyone is on Twitter these days. That was how I found out about it actually.

My parents, sister and I were on our way to Kuantan, Pahang to fetch my little brother from his boarding school as the school holidays is starting. I was in the car, checking my timeline and I saw everyone freaking out! I automatically freaked out without knowing what actually happened. So I read through all the tweets and found out that something happened to Japan. Even Disneyland got hit!! :( I also saw warnings for Malaysians to stay safe and far from beaches. Though they mainly warned the ones in Sabah and Sarawak, I couldn't help but panicked since Malaysia means here. Right here where I'm at, where my families are and where my friends are. To make things worse, I was on my way to Kuantan, where the beach is!! I was freaking out in the car, I swear my sister and I almost cry. We were scared the whole way but I was glad that we were on our way to fetch my brother. I mean, imagine if it isn't school holidays and he's far away from us. I'd rather face anything with my family than being safe without them. While freaking ourselves out, someone had to post something about the sun hadn't come out since morning and it's a Friday. All Muslims know that the end of the world (Kiamat) happens on a Friday. I read the tweet out loud so my family knows about it. As much as I was worried about Japan, I couldn't help being a little selfish and think about Malaysia.

On the way, I tried to keep my mind positive but with the weather, rain pouring since dawn and the news I heard on the radio to keep updated about the disaster in Japan, I was literally shaking. To add salt to the wound, we passed a lot of accidents along the way. Cars turned 360 degrees, people lying on the road.. How was I suppose to be calm??? I could feel the tears coming out and I wonder, 'what's happening to the world?'. I didn't want to keep thinking too much, so I tried sleeping. Though I kept waking up every few minutes, I forced myself to shut my eyes. Alhamdulillah, we arrived safely and Zahir kept WhatsApp-ing me to come back as fast as I can and he advised us to not stay the night there since the beach is so near. But we had to consider my Dad too. He had been driving for 3 hours straight in the rain, the least we could do is to let him sleep in a proper bed before we go back.

We had dinner there in Kuantan and Dad decided to stay the night. Unfortunately, every decent hotel was fully booked and we were searching for a hotel until midnight. Dad decided to just go back since there wasn't any rooms available. I was worried of course. Dad was tired, I could tell from his eyes and it was past midnight! I kept asking him if he was tired but he insisted he was okay. We arrived safe and sound in Subang. As soon as we reached home, we tuned in CNN and watched the disaster. It was really scary.

It really hit me that we human tend to take this earth for granted. We should really appreciate and start taking care of this earth as much as we can. I hope it's not too late..
So here's my condolences to those who have lost families and friends in Japan. My hearts goes to every single one of you. Stay strong.

Wow

As you can already see, I changed my blog skin. I'm starting to get a little bored with the previous one. So anyways, God forgive me for not updating yesterday. I swear I did on my laptop but then realised Daddy brought the broadband with him and I'm too lazy to ask my brother the password for the wireless. Work yesterday was bored like usual. Two of Benefit's supervisors came and only two minutes with them I felt like burning them in hell. I hate the look on their faces, the way they talk, the way they do everything is just plain annoying. I ignore them completely and I don't freaking care what they want to say. Hell, I don't even care if they want to fire me from that lame job because I did well on the sales yesterday, thankyouverymuch. I hope they won't be there tomorrow, fingers crossed. Tailed Mom to school this morning and came back with a tired face plastered. Changed without showering and dozed off in the living room until the moon came up. I think today's world's tiring day because everyone seems pretty gloomy throughout the day. Even the kids were not energetic for the dance training and I had to keep on reminding them to live up. Maybe everyone woke up today and realised life is pathetic or maybe some of them kick start their days with bad hair days.
Work again tomorrow and gosh, I don't even know what to wear. I'll have to raid my closet for black clothes later then. It's so sad that I have to do something I hate for these three days.

Mom, my brother and I argued about the kid that was shot by a cop. I personally think that cop is stupid. Better yet, almost all of the cops are plain stupid and I bet each and everyone of them is suffering from a family dilemma and they tend to release their stress by acting like a cow. Law stated that a cop can't pull the triger unless if they were being shot at. But in this case, that kid was only 15years young and probably afraid because he didn't own a driver's license while the cop has a mind of a 3years old. I told you I hate cops especially the narrow minded ones in Malaysia. They need to at least be educated and please, dunderheads, learn how to open up your mind. Don't think you're a cop, you can be an asshole. I'm starting to get suspicious that cops don't have brains. I bet the main rules and regulations on the application form to be a cop is 'you can't have a brain to be a police.' Pardon my french, but I'm just speaking up my mind.

Landslide

Whats all these landslide stories I hear ? Newspapers, news on tv. All I hear is landslide here, landslide there. I didnt give it any thought as I dont really care about it. Little did I know that Bukit Antarabangsa is also the prey to the monsterous landslide. Mommy woke me up with a vey worrying news that Awish couldnt make it to our house today because he and his family were stuck up there in their house. And they still are. Stuck with no water and electricity. They couldnt get out. I freaked out by the thought of a little baby like Awish is stuck up there :S I want my Awish here now ! Please please please god, I want Awish in good health and condition. His family too, pleasee. Lets pray for the 5000 people stuck up in their home at Bukit Antarabangsa and for those who died because of the disaster
