      That's what I think. There are so much toxins and pollutants around us that we are taking in all these impurities. Sometimes it may not affect our generation but subsequent generations.

      Well, these are the things we can't change and have no means to change but to accept.

      Unsure if Singapore will start some fund raising like we had for Sichuan Earthquake.

        Now that the nuclear plant has exploded, there may be very serious consequences. DH said the chemicals released into the air will form droplets and contaminate drinking water, crops, farm animals, not to mention the air the Japanese people breathe in every day...such radiation can cause cancer, deformity and other diseases. Really scary just thinking about it.


        Really pray that the nuclear plant explosion is not too serious... šŸ™

          Has there been an official confirmation that an explosion of its nuclear power plant occurred?

              heard on the news that the Japanese Association will be discussing with the Red Cross on fund raising details tomorrow.

                  Another explosion today from the nuclear plant...seeing the high death toll and massive destruction leading to more homeless people with no food and water is really heartbreaking.


                  But I really admire the resilience and discipline of the japanese people, that they are able to show grace and self control under such devastating crisis - no looting, no hysteria, no snatching of food rations and water. Just quiet weeping, orderly queueing for food and water and helping of one another. Really admirable.

                        I agree with your statment. I really respect the japanese people. If happen in other countries, will see choas and rushing everywhere.

                        This is what we sure learn from the japanese. They remain claim in handling such a major issue.
