Dragon Boat Tragedy

Just finished talking on the phone with mum.
Had the urge to post something here.

I guess most of you (especially the Penang peeps) are aware of the tragedy due to the crash of dragon boat in Penang last Sunday. The death of a teacher advisor and 5 students (age ranging from 16-17) has caused a great impact among the public, the mourning news have been the highlights all over the papers in Malaysia. 18 people went out to sea on the long, narrow boat as training for the competition in China in May. Due to strong undercurrents, the boat was tipped over as it made a turn.

This is one of the newspaper article on the tragedy reported.
Feel free to read it if you wanna know more about it.

My mum said she couldnt bear to read newspaper these few days.
Those loss of lives are similar age as my cousins n they know each other.
All I praise god is that...Thank Godness my cousin has stopped joining the dragon boat training since middle of last year and was supposed to resume the membership in Feb..
N those who have passed away are actually active students in CLHS (Chung Ling High School). It is really saddening to receive such a bad news at the early of the year. N it is just few weeks after sch reopen. Imagine during Form 5, how happy were we when we just got back to sch..SPM is like still a long way to go..we are more concern that this would be the final year of our discipline high school life.
One word..it is just sad..Everyone is emotionally affected back home..
There is nobody to blame on..There is no WHAT IF they never go out to sea...IF they do know that it is not the right day to go out sea..IF the rescue team could carry out action asap..IF IF...
What is done is done..

I still remember abt a tragedy due to car accident a fren of my age met with during my pre u year..We were so upset over his death..
N now..loss of 5 students..

Just wish that everyone back in PG will stay strong..especially the related family and friends.
5 young boys..May you R.I.P.
My friend, Pei Qi has posted a blog post on this tragedy as well n her brother has made a video clip regarding to this. Feel free to have a look.
May God Be With You

There have been more n more negative side for the start of 2010.
I really hope this is the last..but I know no matter how much I wish so, this is not gonna be the last one. =(
Since we will still have to survive through all these, just try to make your everyday a cheerful and fruitful one.
与其伤心地度过日子，不如设法开开心心地去体验新的每一天。
