Mediacorp Fund Raising Show For SiChuan Orphanges(250508)

Last night, I went for the live charity show by Mediacorp. As I was fan of Bro CQ and also I felt that we should have a charity show in order to raise fund for the poor and the needy orphanages which was survivors from the killer quake.

I have to say, I almost cried the whole 3 hours. Well, I was really very shakened. Singapore is really very fortunate. We do not have any earthquakes nor tornado nor any natural disaster.

We are not able to feel what the people in Si Chuan, Wen Chuan and other China provinces felt. The grieveness of losing one or more family members and your home is something, we, Singaporean can never understand deeply unless you have relatives or you were at there when the quake struck.

Not long ago, there is this young lady who said lots of uncivilised comments and cursed and sweared those survivors or those dead people as she could not get into the online games. All commented that she was cold-blooded, ruthless and uneducated.

Maybe she does not felt how those people affected felt. Some online people even commented on her that one day when she met the same situation as what the survivors felt or the family of the dead felt, she will regret what she said that day. A whole 4.41mins of clips(I supposed) of cruel words said. Maybe one day when she think back, she will regret.

I suppose, the person(s) we should blame was the idea of the Toufu building. If not for this conditions, a four storey school will not be now a piece of dead land. If not for this, the lives of the innocent kids and teens will not be killed or had suffered from cutting of their limbs or hands in order to live on. It was heart wretching for seeing so many innocent kids and teens paid their lives on this inconsiderate act.

All the remorse and the sorry will never be able to ease the pain of losing a child which you love dearly. There was a family with a twin who was killed in this quake due to that doufu building. When the mother talked about her grieveness and frustration she had after the tragedy, I cried. She have to accept this cruel truth that her twin daughter will be gone and will never be able to call her Mother. There are a lot of shakkened stories being showed on the tv screen. Every scene really pierce my heart. I feel how they feel as I just lost a friend though not in quake but due to some reason few weeks ago.

Hence I can feel how they felt as those came in a sudden and no one had any preparation and no sign of alarm. Then came this question on my mind, wasn't the authority able to alert the people if there is ever a signal that an earthquake is going to happened.

A total of 7000 schools were affected, either collaspsed or about to collaspsed. It was a big number. I ever wondered, if Singapore was in that situation, will we be able to survive? How to build a building which can withstand a quake? Well, I am not construction worker nor am I studying construction. But deep in my heart, I do hope that this killer quake will never happened ever again.

How long will a country need to have the lost lives back in numbers? How much can we do to help those people affected? Are we doing enough to help them? I sincerely hope that what we does for the Sichuan people is enough to ease their pain for a while and keep them move on their lives and walk over the grieveness.

I also hope that there will be no more Toufu building as it was really not considerate to save the cost but in the end, lives was lost through this inconsiderate act.

During the fund raising, there are few poems read out which made me cried non-stop. One is telling the Mothers Do Not Cry. Another one is to tell the kids Please Hold On To My Hands During The Dark. There were also songs which made me cried like waterfall. When the artistes sang Shou Qian Shou, I cried. When Liang Jia Ban sang, Wo Men Dou Shi Yong Gan De Ren, I also cried. Words of encouragement and grieveness really saddened me.

For those who live in Singapore, you are really very fortunate. For people who have relatives at the affected area, hope that they are all fine. For those who lost their love ones, please be strong. Love have no boarders. Let us ease your pain and live strong. Hope no more natural disasters and may the dead rest in peace...
