I Wish...
Beautiful Chinese New Year ad from Petronas.
All of us will get old one day, that is an inevitable fact of life.
So, treasure the time that you have with your old parents. Let them live out their last days happily surrounded by the people they love.

Happy Chinese New Year
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year!!
I would like to wish everyone a year filled with an abundance of happiness, prosperity and opportunities. May you be blessed with good health, wealth and peace.
This new year is the Year of the Metal Rabbit. After a horrendous Year of the Tiger, may this year be like the Rabbit - gentle, peaceful and happy.

Cyclone Yasi
After the great flood that hit much of Queensland during the Christmas/New Year period, we now have Cyclone Yasi bearing down on the northern part of the state.
Cyclone Yasi is a Category 5 Hurricane, much like Hurricane Katrina. It will come ashore at around 10 pm tonight, the eve of Chinese New Year.
Please spare a prayer tonight for all the people living in Northern Queensland. May they all be safe and well in the midst of all the destruction.
Om Mani Padme Hum!!
Update
It is the morning after. Cyclone Yasi has ripped through the cities of Northern Queensland.
Small coastal communities have borne the brunt of Cyclone Yasi's fury. There has been terrible damages, with one of every two homes and businesses flattened by the cyclone.
Cardwell, as well as Tully, Mission Beach, Silkwood were the worst-hit regions, while more than 177,000 Queenslanders are without power.
Fortunately, there has been no reports of serious casualties or deaths so far.
But the damages has been catastrophic with whole towns wiped out and downed power lines and debris blocking access to many of these towns.
Early today the cyclone has again been downgraded, to a category two.
With the passing of the cyclone, the rebuilding can now start.
Please continue to send your prayers to the people affected by the destruction of Cyclone Yasi.
