Tsunami.

This used to be just a word found in our Form 3 Geography textbook. This used to be just a phenomenon/natural disaster that happen to other countries that are none of our concern.

Not anymore. This time, it hits home.

Dubbed as the worst natural disaster in Asian history, this 'wave of death' has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, with the death toll still rising. Properties were destroyed, people lost their family members. It is at times like this that one begins to count one's blessings. One begins to feel grateful to be still surrounded by loved ones.

Indeed, 'The very best gift is what we already have- each other'.

So, just like the message from The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, "do you know where your loved ones are now?"

I know i know. =)
