those days, the thoughts

1. i was in malaysia, when the world over there had turned upside down.
2. if not a phone call from ntv7, asking for any contact numbers of friends in tokyo, i wouldn't have known it, not until my dad turned on the tv for news at the usual time.
3. i asked my mom to help me resubscribed astro before i came back, to watch soccer games in the first place, but had turned out to be a savior for me, as i could get latest updates from nhk itself.
4. my brother, who first wouldn't be back until the next weekend, was at home with a 4G yes device, became my another savior, as i could log on to internet to check my friends's safety and their following status.
5. though the handphones were mostly downed for some time, much to my relief, everyone of them is fine and safe. thank god!
6. relatives kept calling in, and were relieved that i came back at the right time. i couldn't agree more, as i can see how relieved my family is, when their son is safe at home at that moment.
7. but surely no more holiday mood i guess, as many who i concern with are still staying in japan, with plenty of unknowns following the quake.
8. instead of feeling lucky, sometimes it is more like unsettled, for being so far away when first hand information is crucial, and for being unable to do anything, for being at home while many are in surge of anxiety.
9. i ignored all those uncivilized comments and reactions about the quake, but focused on identifying the truth behind every information and every news, and tried to explain to those who were concerning about the current situation.
10. leaking of radiation from nuclear plant, another strong earthquake is expected to occur within days, shortage of food and water, people fleeing from japan, but, it is not the end of world. they are sending aid, they are searching for survivors, they are fighting to fix things right, they are bringing things back on track. there is still, hope and love. things will get better soon, i do believe, and i truly believe.
11. unless it has turned into the worst case, i'm going back there. just like what i say when someone asking whether i'm going back for malaysia or not, my answer is always: yes, i'm going back. that's what my heart is saying, and i always follow Her.
