happy new year! it's 2005!

okay, maybe not really such a happy new yr. with all the depressing news appearing on tv, how can we actually celebrate the past of time into a new yr when ppl are out there suffering?
for those who are so ignorant, this is what has happened: an underwater earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0, making it one of the largest quake in time, rocked aceh in northern indonesia on 26 dec 2004. and that's not it, there's still the aftermath. tsunamis were set off that hit and crushed coastal areas in south asia like sri lanka, india, thailand, maldives and even somalia in africa! imagine how big that earthquake must have been to send torrents of water over large distances destroying lives..
the death toll of the whole disaster stands at around 130000. and it's still expected to soar. so devastating.. what a mood to end 2004 and start the new yr of 2005.
i hope 2005 will be a better year..
