I'm sure anyone with a heart has prolly already said at least a prayer for Japan and the people of Japan (the great ones are doing more than just saying a prayer) after hearing the news of the recent earthquake and tsunami. Mi Amor and I are on holiday at the moment (we first heard the news upon arriving in Madrid) and we have been tuning into CNN everyday from our hotel room TV (it's the first thing that's on in the morning and the last thing we watch before going to bed) for updates on the situation and just pray for at least some good news/news that give a glimmer of hope. I also can't help but have nothing but admiration for the people of Japan and how they are facing the situation, especially after reading this site. I don't know about other countries but I highly doubt that Malaysians can carry themselves/face this kind of devastating situation as well as the Japanese (no offense to my country, which I love btw, but if you've seen how we react during a traffic jam, you'd understand).
I don't know anyone in/from Japan but there seem to be a lot of Japanese tourists around where we are holidaying at the moment and every time I see one, I always feel like asking whether everything is all right with his/her family back home (though I'm assuming it must be or else he/she would be catching the first flight back home, no?).
Anyway, better catch some ZzZzz's now coz I'll be going out later tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed that when I wake up there might be some form of good news (like finding more survivors perhaps).
*UPDATE : Oh Oh, just as I was about to shut down the PC and doze off, CNN said they found a 60 year old man alive clinging onto the roof of his house which was swept away about 50 km or so.
