I've really got no mood to update blog recently. Everyday the TV is reporting bad news, newspaper also featuring bad news.

The earthquake occured in China...
7.8 Magnitude earthquake hit Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province on May 12
I'm sad and crying when I heard the news of Sichuan earthquake.
In the world, nothing can compared to having losing your family members, parents, the child, brothers and sisters. A Wenchuan earthquake causes tens of thousands of compatriots to have broken families. The whole nation was in shock, attracts worldwide attention.
I really wish I can be there to help the victims.
Please do your part for China, make a donation.
