Save Our Nation
On the afternoon of May 12, 2008, an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale hit Sichuan Province, a mountainous region in Western China. By the next day, the death toll stood at 12,000, with another 18,000 still missing. Over 15 million people live in the affected area, including almost 4 million in the city of Chengdu. Nearly 2,000 of the dead were students and teachers caught in schools that collapsed.
Since the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, which killed over 240,000 people, China has required that new structures withstand major quakes. But the collapse of schools, hospitals and factories in several different areas around Sichuan may raise questions about how rigorously such codes have been enforced during China’s recent, epic building boom.

Its so sad that there are so many after-quakes after the main quake last week.

Billions are lost in terms of building and assets. this does not count the re-building cost. so many lifes of human, plants and animals were lost.
The purpose of me writing this entry is to announce to all of you that Mandy & I are organizing a Charity Event @ Halo Cafe Sunway on the 23rd & 25th May 8pm-10pm to collect as much $$$ as possible to send helps to the victims in SiChuan.We already got our local artists to donate their precious items to be auction during the event itself .So ppl please please please come down to Sunway Pyramid's Halo Cafe on the 23rd & 25th to give some love & support aight
