As we ended 2014 with double the sadness, and welcomed 2015 with the stampede that happened in Shanghai.
i just sincerely wish that 2015 would be a better year for all the citizens of Malaysia and also to the ones that didn't made it to 2015, i believe you are in a better place right now.
as a kelantanese, what hit us hardest this year would be the flood that just subsided weeks ago.
that god damn flood ruined our house, our neighbourhood, our town, our memories
seeing how my house turned into some muddy jungle and how some kampungs just vanished
how are they going to rebuild their neighbourhood?

i've went back for a day to collect all the important things that were all soaked in water
we brought back food and other stuffs for the victims but as much as i wanted to help, the capacity of our cars weren't that big, things we could brought back was limited
even though school had been pushed back, i believe it will still be hard for the schools that were involved in the flood including my secondary and primary school in kuala krai.
as what i know yuk chai had encountered a big lost of computers, projectors and definitely tables and chairs.
they are holding donations now and do drop them a call if you want to donate!
the damages and lost people had suffered is beyond words.
i wasn't there myself to go through all these but even after the flood subsided and i had to go back and help
i couldn't even get through a day there cause it felt like a dead town
it was once the most peaceful town of all which i was longing to go back every holiday
but now there's no electricity nor water
we boiled rain water to cook and drink
it sounds awful but at that moment i felt grateful that i still had food and water to drink
god knows how much the people who stayed there during the whole period suffered?
now they have enough food enough water and the electricity is back
all they need is money to rebuild what they once called a home and many children are going to school but how can you go to school without stationaries and uniforms?
Now Mercy is conducting donations to help the victims!
head to Mercy's website and follow the instructions given
a few simple steps and your kindness would help them gain back what they had lost

quote by Anne Frank -
"no one has ever become poor by giving"
and it's your turn to help and who knows, god is always watching.
& look on the bright sight my strong kelantanians, i bet you have learnt one thing or two going through this period of suffering and "what doesn't kill you makes you strong". stay positive and let's just start from zero again.
