I believe you've heard or read about another disaster that has hit Asia. A strong earthquake has struck China and created havoc. So many sad stories this month...

It's really sad that the earthquake had taken so many peoples life. Especially the students, eg. a boy who had been saved after days must let the doctor cut off both of his hand or else he will die. But he asked the doctor if he could just cut one of his hand as he said that "I want to study and learn." At this point, i think that students here take studies unseriously yet the students in china are so eager to learn. I think we should learn from them. We must also know that we in singapore are very fortunate that we don't have any disaster occuring here. So we should study as much as we can, get as much knowledge as possible. Take learning as a piority. In the end, it's us who will benefit.
