Singapore, oh Singapore.......

I can't begin to find the words to expound on the many good and wonderful things I found in our neighbour down south, Singapore, that could express what I really feel. The drive down was quite smooth but the signage indicating the route to the Second Link must have been damn (pardon my language) inconspicuous that we had no choice but to enter Singapore via Woodlands! Hah! That's Malaysia for you, if you know what I mean. The highways, expressways and roads in Singapore are so well equipped with many appropriate road signages that it's quite easy to find one's way around the island republic; of course with help of GARMIN too...haha. Shopping there is heaven! So many good and fantastic department stores to go in and out of, whether many levels above ground or many more underground! Can't wait for the June sales though, that'll be the time to really spend or as the saying goes, 'Shop, till you drop!' Walking up and down Orchard Road is one interesting ad

Tsunami 2011, Japan.

Watching videos of the tsunami hitting towns of Japan makes my heart weep for the victims and people of Japan. No words could aptly describe how I felt, watching the sea literally swallowing the coastal towns and bringing in its' wake, a trail of near total destruction, a devastation so great that it'll take months before a town is reconstructed. So many lives lost; so many possessions gone and so many memories washed away by the raging waters of the tsunami. I pray for the people of Japan. I pray for their recovery. I pray for their strength. I pray for their hope. I pray for their courage. And I pray they will forever stand united to rebuild all that was lost and to emerge from this catastrophe a stronger nation of survivors.
