Ocean falls, and mountain drifts


I'm not exactly too enthusiastic after hearing of the recent 8.9 Magnitude earthquake that just hit Japan very recently. Earthquakes - and actually many other natural disasters - always makes me feeling all depressed. The thought of me sitting here all safe and dry, whereas scores of peoples in a distant (or not so distant) country never fails to get me feeling all down. Yes, that might be silly and all, but that's just the way I feel.

I'm now feeling more depressed than my usual depressed-self, considering how in the face of these natural disasters, there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it (well, there is of course prediction, but that doesn't change the fact that said disaster still takes place).

The show must go on

Since there isn't anything else to do here in Selangor, we will be heading back to Alor Setar by tomorrow morning.

A good thing too, since I can't seem to study AT ALL here: it's not because of the uninterrupted (relatively) fast internet connection - tho that may contribute a bit to my lazyness - but I think this has more to do with the house that I'm staying, which encourage one to either sleep through the whole day, or to head out somewhere else.

By the way, here's a picture on the current flood at my place:


I'll be back, Alor Setar... I'll be back...

When the levee breaks

When the levee breaks
I'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Lord, mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,

Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
