12 May this year...

-
this day... i would be taking leave like any other year as it's my birthday... but i did not for this year... as i needed leave for my HK trip.

closed to 2 weeks had past... and i realised that 12 May 2008 was a sad date this year...

Sze Chuan Earthquake started on this day... at first reported few hundreds dead and students trapped in rubbles... 2 weeks past and it has escalated to 50k dead! and still counting!

12 May (as i noticed News at 10 today) happened to the day that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's wife fell into a coma and still in that state...

it's not a dark date/day for me but to the thousands and many more ... i wish all beings happy, healthy and wishes come true.

should i be the volunteer?

(not sure why i remembered this day, probably my birthday which was the following day). mum told us that she was going to see specialist at Alexandra Hospital the following week... i always felt closer to her than my siblings since young. i could sense that she always took special care of me... maybe i was the one that was always sick (suffering asthma attacks), getting most sprains, most cuts and most playful... the weakest in health. ---- during primary 3, i recalled that i was hospitalised (almost dead) because of asthma attacks. she would stay with me through the few nights, taking intense care of me. she would piggy-back me around. ---- although she would nag, shout and scold, and at times, i find her annoying... i really miss her voice now. Aug 12, 2003 around 3am, my wife and i woke up together... i
