oh gosh. i've completely forgotten today's vesak day!
but nvm.
hmm..has been considering for quite a while if i should apply for DSA,
but now i doubt so.
well, because i don't want to be tied to the certain CCA i enter by.
the contracted feeling is not that nice.
talking abt the quake is china.
there is a very big question mark to the citizens of china:
Why so many schools collasped?indeed, that's a very serious problem in the country right now, after photos of schools smashing to smithereens while surrounding buildings appeared unscathed.some survivors blame corrupted gov't, shoddy construction and cost cutting for the collapse of so many 'tofu buildings'.
well, is not that i'm talking baseless on any evidence.
in the
newpaper the day before ytd, the saturday issue.
reports showed evidence of the modern yet 'lembek' bulidings.
one of the dead victim's parent was truly puzzled why their 1970-bulit apartment managed to remain standing still, appearing perfectly unscathed (take note that a photo of a flower pot undamaged, still standing on the ledge after the quake, were reportedly taken ), while ironically, the 2000s built schools collasped in the matter of seconds.well, this quake has surely woken the chinese gov't up.
