A clash of 2 tetectonics plates under the Indian Ocean has already taken over 100,000 lives and more left unaccounted for. It is so depressing and disheartening to see bodies and bodies being piled up, or those floating in the sea. Bodies with hands bent with frozen in the face of death. When I saw them on TV, I thought they were mannuquins...cos they were so pale and their hands all frozen and bent in some angle...

For those who live in wells, this earthquake which measure 9 on the Richter scale is so powerful it made the earth wobble on its axis. It also changed the map for Asia. Almost every hour, the death toll will rise.

I estimate the death toll to be ard 300 000. By tonight's the toll is already 11 8000, by tml evening, the toll shld be ard 200 000. Now I am thinking of 300,000 is too lenient an estimate. There are still thousands of bodies rotting in the sea, some might be swept away to the bottom of the sea..some might be swept to the other corner of the earth, like the Navy accident where some of the bodies were never found.

Anyway I am proud SG have been extrememly helpful in times of charitable needs as everyone can see during charity shows. I juz made a donation of $10.00 via a call. For Singtel users,

-For a $10 donation, call 1900 112 1226 or *1226
-For a $50 donation, call 1900 112 1227 or *1227

Singtel will not charge any administrative charges on these calls and sms.

The affected areas like Indonesia and India are desperately short on clean water,food,shelter and medication. With polluted water and mosquitoes...then comes dengue and malaria...I certainly do not hope to see the figure to climb to 500,000.
