That sure does put things into perspective.

Tsunamis wreak havoc in Thailand. Is Boredin ok? He's in Hatyai...

Considering all the crazy things I did on the trip, it's already pretty amazing that I made it back to Singapore completely unscathed. To learn that I just missed the tsunami... I don't know what to say. And I was just thinking to myself at the airport: "I want to stay here! Extend my holiday! Maybe even take a flight to Phi phi island, I heard it's beautiful..."

Singapore was completely spared. Life goes on, our trivial concerns predominate. Like my driving test. I just learnt yesterday that my test is actually TODAY and not on the 30th like I thought it was. And I've only been in the circuit twice, the second time being yesterday. But in the light of more than 10,000 dead? It doesn't matter.

At least I know that the people in Ban Tham are safe, up in the north. Boredin is ok too, according to Godwin.

I pray that there are no more aftershocks. I'm thankful that I'm safe, that the people I love are safe.
