The government has finally cancelled all new year celebrations out of respect as the nation mourns to the millions victims of the tsunami disaster. Hopefully this kind of sensitivity will continue to bloom in each and everyone of us as we strive for a better nation. God knows how much those fireworks alone will cost ya! Big bucks man...

Undeniably, at this stage the fireworks have already been purchased, stored and transported, people are contracted to set them off, etc. The money has already been spent. However, if we don't use the fireworks this year, they can be stored for a future event or even for next year's NYE event. So, that way, the money saved for the future event (which equals the money spent for the currently planned event) can go to aid. However, I doubt that they will cancel it completely though! Might be rescheduled or postponed whatever. Huh, knowing em!

For those whose gonna 100% cancel it, well, look of it this way. Everyone is impacted by this event one way or another and we do need to focus on the future, rather than the past. We lose some, we win some. Savvy?

God, I can't even bear the look of the sufferings. Berat Mata Memandang, Berat Lagi Bahu Memikul. Tough as it may seem but let's pray that those facing hardship following this aftermath will have the fortitude to overcome their great losses. Amin.
