SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Asian Tsunami (2) [download file] 
Permanent link Post a Comment

My sis sent me this file, someone captured these horrifying early moments of the tsunami attack I think at Gurney Drive, Penang, Malaysia. I was actually more horrified by the reaction of the people, very fascinated with the wave and of course that took them by surprise. Basically the people were saying...

"Wahhhh what a big wave ..."
"This is even greater ... this one more greater ... wahhhhhh"
"Eh, better go back a bit, eh where are the children, where are the children ...oohhhhhh ... hahahahahhahaaha" (yep, when the water hit them they were laughing!)

And that was when the wave hit the curb.

Do check out that lone guy standing near the shoreline and how he was swept in. I wonder is he ok?

Stupid stupid people. Now I know why the death toll is more than 70,000...most of them didn't know what was coming and thought it was funny.

This video in WMV format is only 782kb in size. Click the link below or copy and paste it. Please right click the link and choose save target as. Do not watch it online as I have limited bandwidth and I look forward to your opinion about what happened.

Ahhh the wonders of phone cameras ...still stupid people.

There is no reason to call anyone stupid for not anticipating the danger they were in by that point. It's easy for us to say how we'll run away AFTER it happened KNOWING full well what had already happened, but when put in that situation .. when tsunamis of that capacity were not everyday events, it is not odd that they would be curious of why waves were that high without being able to figure that so many people would die. Please have some respect as some of those people filmed in that footage may possibly be dead or seriously injured.

>.> I am very very seriously APPALLED and TERRIBLY PISSED OFF. I was one of the people at Miami Beach when the waves crashed, and it was nothing funny to see people carrying bodies of their children, weeping and pleading for help.

...I can't believe these are Malaysians that went hahahahaha. I'm ashamed, frankly.

It was because of the fact that on the day itself, the sea was strangely noisy and the waves were strangly huge, which attracted more people to the beach to watch the strange phenomena. Thats why the death toll is so high.

That is because you are looking it in the context of the aftermath also, that so many people die and so view what I wrote about that footage as disrespect. Look at that video itself; look at that lone guy standing way out; hear the woman who laughed when the waves crashed in and I think her male friend/husband started to feel quite panicky about where the children are and the what they said. They were being stupid and that is not disrespect but a matter of fact. Maybe I would be numbed but frankly I wouldn't laugh. I sat the whole day, actually past few days shocked and in mourning, not just for the lives lost in Malaysia, but Sri Lanka, India, even Africa, Indonesia and yet amazed by the worldwide global effort, that perhaps out of tragedy there is unity. It is obviuous the people in that footage didn't die, which is why you have the video feed. But this is not the reason why I put up the video for you to watch. I want to show how careless and ignorant people can be that it may be too late to salvage anything. But this is not said in respect of the many at the other places, just the people in this footage and I have no qualms of repeating, they were stupid.

And do put your name next time because I love to reply to a post with a name.
