Massive sea surges on 26/12/04 in Asia was caused by the forth largest earthquake in human history (Ritcher scale 9.0). This dreadful sea surges had caused at least ten of thousands dead in Asia and the toll is expected to rise in near future. Massive outbreak of contagious disease may be attacking the tsunami-hit areas! Aftershocks are expected and could be destructive also. It was a tragedy that was inevitable but the effect is just too huge to be suffered by any country. What can we do against the nature power?
As fortunate people who stay in a country that is so close to the tsunami-hit areas yet safe, we should try our very best to help them.. Please help the victims.. if you have one dollar to donate, please do not hesitate to do so.. one dollar may seem little to many ppl, but to those who are suffering now, one dollar also can do the miracle. Fyi, SGD 1 can provide three meals for one people in Sri Lanka tsunami-hit areas now.
You may donate to Singapore Red Cross Society online
https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp
There are also a lot of other channels that you may use to pass your help:
South India and Sri Lanka
AID-India is one of the few organizations actually on the ground co-ordinating relief and rehab work from Chennai. They have already sent $25,000 for immediate relief in Tamil Nadu. At the time of writing, this site has raised USD 79,670.00 from 809 donors (The figure now stands at Update: USD 372,829.00). You can make your contribution at https://www.aidindia.org/aidadmin/DonateToRRF.jsp
Sri Lanka
CARE has also already begun relief response programs. They expect to provide food for 14,000 people in Sri Lanka's Batticaloa district over the next several days. You can make your donations at https://donate.care.org/05/20130000/?source=170570040000
Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan High Comission in Singapore has appealed for
[1] tents, blankets, linen, etc.,
[2] water purification tablets,
[3] food (precooked, or ready-to-eat) (Please note no pork or beef)
[4] wheat flour, pulses, rice,
[5] Portable generators
You can contribute whatever you can and send them to the Sri Lankan High Comission, which is loacted at #13-07/12 Goldhill Plaza, 51 Newton Road, Singapore 308900. They will be sending a consignment to Sri Lanka in the coming few days.
Sri Lanka has no natural lakes, thus implying that fresh water is a precious commodity. [Source: WorldVision]. In the past WorldVision has distributed Family Survival Kits to the flood victims in China, to the victims of Hurricane Ivan; and several other crisis situations. Each kit contains blankets, water purification tablets, cooking supplies and hygiene products. Other critically needed items, such as food & medicine, are also included depending on the situation. Each of these kits costs USD 100. Given the situation in countries like the Maldives & Sri Lanka, such kits would help immensely. I'd hate to be sounding like a sale/spokesperson for WorldVision, but I urge you to really consider sponsoring a few of these kits. You can do so at http://www.worldvision.org/worldvision/eappeal.nsf/egiftrelief_ivan?open
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Maldives, India & Sri Lanka

[If you're using this option, upon login, click on "Payment Services", then "Bill Payment", and then select "RED CROSS TODAL WAVES ASIA" in the pull down menu and proceed accordingly].
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) has launched a preliminary appeal for 7.5 million Swiss francs to assist some 500,000 people and bring immediate support to relief to the people in the areas most affected.

Free Love
By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world.
But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs,
and thou keepest me free.
Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone.
But day passes by after day and thou art not seen.
If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart,
thy love for me still waits for my love.
尘世上那些爱我的人,用尽方法拉住我.
你的爱就不是那样,你的爱比他们的伟大得多,
你让我自由.
他们从不敢离开我,恐怕我把他们忘掉.
但是你,日子一天一天地过去,你还没有露面.
若是我不在祈祷中呼唤你,若是我不把你放在心上,
你爱我的爱情仍在等待着我的爱.

你曾经失眠吗?
我想每个人或多或少都曾失眠过.. 失眠的滋味并不好受.. 尤其是生理十分累的时候,但却怎样也没办法让自己的心进入休息的状态.. 头脑清醒得可以打好几圈的麻将..身体却连动一根手指头也不愿意..
我很少失眠.. 但前天晚上却失眠了.. 也不知道为什么.. 可能那天晚上的咖啡特别厉害吧! 12点躺在床上,到了2点都还非常清醒.. 很讨厌失眠..失眠有时会让我的思绪特别清晰..想很多平时刻意不去想的东西!
那晚,真的想了很多,但想得很乱.. 东想一点,西想一点~
想2004年快过完了,这个年头里到底我干了些什么有意义的事! 好像没有也! :P 实在糟糕..
想research要怎么继续,但好像结果也没有想出些什么来!
想朋友们现在都怎样了.. 工作的工作..出国的出国..好像越来越远了.. 地域上的距离也许没什么改变..心理上的距离已经遥不可及了..
想...想着想着,我就这样睡着了..
********************************************************
朋友到尼泊儿去.. 看了他们的相片和游记..特别羡慕.. 何时我也可以到那里去背包旅行呀? 最近到香港,台湾,泰国的机票都很便宜了..真想出去玩, 但心放不下!
廉价航空战越打越热了... 赫赫,希望他们继续打下去,这样机票也能越来越经济.届时,everyone can fly! hehe..

2004年的最后一个月了! 光阴似箭啊! 今年年头为自己定下的目标好像没达到耶!! 游泳还是没有学会.. 今年根本没投上一篇paper..研究方面进度也太慢了.. 今年的我真不长进呀!! 好吧.. 怎么说也熬过了一年.. 总得相信明年一定会更好.. 展望明年吧.. 重新定下明年的目标:
1) 学会游泳.. 赫赫..又来了 (已经不晓得第几个年头了!)
2) Journal Paper!!!
3) 出国旅游!
4) Research 的 core part一定要完成
暂时先这样吧! 慢慢再想还要干什么..;-)
2005年的运程:
肖猴 運
擺 脫 衰運
行運 第10位
綜 合 蘇民 峰 及 麥 玲 玲 兩 位 師傅 所 言 ， 肖 猴 者 今 年為 霧 水 桃 花 年 ，人 緣 較 佳 ， 做 事 較 為順 利 ， 容 易 有 異 性 之助 ， 較 去 年 犯 太歲 有 天 淵 之 別 。 本年 亦 為 思 想 學 習 投 資年 ， 寒 命 人 宜 進 修； 熱 命 、 平 命 人 有 發展 機 會 ， 不 妨 放 膽 嘗試 ， 因 已 輸 無 可輸 。 不 過 上 半 年 仍 受 去年 犯 太 歲 影 響， 容 易 引 起 感 情 變 化 。吉 星 有 「 陌 越 」 ， 為地 位 提 升 之 星 ； 凶 星有 「 天 官 符 」 ，代 表 是 非 官 非 ； 另 外也 有 小 疾 病 及 容 易 失去 物 件 ， 如 銀 包、 鑰 匙 、 手 機 等 。
1980年 出 生 ： 今 年 事 業運 頗 為 反 覆 ，雖 然 頗 多 新 機 會 ， 但 可 能 會因 此 失 去 方 向 ， 故 應以 退 守 為 先 ， 看 清 形勢 再 作 打 算 。 感 情 方面 ， 略 有 分 手 運 ， 與伴 侶 有 不 少 爭 坳 ， 另一 方 面 又 有結 婚 衝 動 ， 需 三 思 而行 。
寒命人——出生於西曆八月八日以後三月六日以前（立秋後驚蟄前）
熱命人——出生於西曆五月六日以後八月八日以前（立夏後立秋前）
平命人——出生於西曆三月六日以後五月六日以前（驚蟄後立夏前）
