Sober New Year’s eve

Dec 31 2004

It was a good move of the government to not fund the celebrations for New Year as a sign of respect to the victims of tsunami. At least the money meant for fireworks and such can be channelled to relief efforts in affected areas.

It saddens my heart to see the numbers of those who perished rising steadily. And when reading news of people who have lost their loved ones like 7-year old Jessica whose mother sacrificed her life to save her children.

But it is encouraging to see so many people and organisations doing all they can to help. Every bit counts. Bob has a list of tsunami relief links and Maybank users can also make their contributions here.

Will be at the Watchnight Service in church tonight. Have a blessed 2005, everyone.
