God Bless Vanessa

wl2 is driving me mad but thats because ive invested so much time in procrastinating

lots and lots happened but mostly importantly:
1. Vanessa Ong is in Royal Melbourne Hospital due to Brain AterioVenous Malfunction. There are updates on her condition at her livejournal. http://peanutcups.livejournal.com/ and a few at jana's blog http://www.364.blogspot.com/ since both of them are studying at Trinity College in Melbourne.
Its really sudden and shocking for everyone (including all the ex-st nicks and ex-SNSOers who ever knew her). I pray she'll be fine, like both pupils dilating and all the sympathetic nervous response happening soon. Please keep her in your prayers! Go Vanessa (Rong Xuan), im sure you can make it(: ): i want to visit you! I remember Vanessa from SNSO viola section, the funnily silly girl. hahaha <3

2. China's R7.9 earthquake in sichuan, beichuan and neighbouring places. So many many lives have been lost, it makes me feel devastated. This is exactly like The Not So Good Earth by Bruce Dawe. Basically, don't be ignorant and appreciate your life and be more open-minded ): AHH. i started hugging my mum while watching the major news reports on taiwanese news during the week. Mum cried nearly everytime she was watching earthquake related tragic news. Some people were really lucky and others were terrifying. Im glad I've read/analyzed Dawe's poem and learnt from it.
