just finished watching the charity show for Sichuan Earthquake victims.
for the past almost two weeks since the disasters in both Myanmar and China happened, i have been restricting myself from blogging about it as i know i'll get emotional.

well.. after watching the show just now, i realised that i cant hide my emotions.
it just overwhelmed me as i watched.
what can i say?
just like most of us, my heart really sank as i watched the flashes of all the victims, the ruins, the devastated country, parents crying out for their missing children, children crying out for their missing parents.
it made me realise once again how lucky and fortunate i am here in singapore.
as i watched, i pictured the scene of those little cute ones performing in the school when everything just came crashing down on them.
how scared the little ones were, how they were hanging on to their dear lives, how they wished their mummy or daddy were there.
tears just came rolling down.

one of the recount the show brought upon affected me alot.
that is the one about this young mother found in an awkward position by the rescuers.
she was kneeling down, face down.
when the rescuers lifted her up, they found a tiny little baby in her arms.
she was trying to protect her little child.
and the baby was still sleeping soundly when he was found.
and the blankey that was covering him lies his mummy's phone.
and the phone, a message was written like this, "dear baby, if you are still alive remember that mummy will always love you."
oh man. when i heard this, i was loss of words.
i felt the heartache which at the same time was heartwarming, knowing how much this mother loves her child.
well, i belive all parents will do the same.

it is really heartwrenching to hear such news.
i really hope that with the money we donated, we can do what we can for the victim's families.

dear Lord, i pray that light will shine on them and that their lives will be restored.
i pray that You will touch their hearts and heal their pains.
in Jesus's name i pray, Amen! (:
