To our friends abroad...

The Virginia Tech Uni shootout was one hell of a scary shit. Why are there so many twisted ppl in this world who think that what they can touch and feel are nothing but a Counterstrike simulation? And why do they have to channel all their angst and WTFness deep down inside their ruthless souls onto harmless n innocent people, some of whom they do not even know?

I'm not sure if I'm getting emo over this incident that took place miles away from where i am, cos my sis and some close frens study abroad and they do not know which twisted fark they'll unfortunately meet one day. But there's a reason to worry for them.

I guess all we can do at home is to pray for our beloved family frens overseas, that they lead a safe and comfortable life everyday.

And even though you and I, who see each other everyday in school over lessons and projects, are safe and sound at our homely library desks and seminar rooms, we should not take our peaceful lives for granted. It's not so much a matter of extolling the anti-terrorist virtues of national security here in our homeland. It's about appreciating our very conflict-free existence because as friends, we love one another despite the way we think and act differently.
