LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
Tuesday, April 17, 2007
By the time u visit my blog, u would probably have heard or seen the horrific tragedy that struck Virginia Tech. Without going into the depressing stats and terrible accounts, this is officially the worst case of shooting in US history.
"Holy shit!!!" was uttered by my roomie on the lazy Monday afternoon just as he was watching tv after a long day of classes. It jolted me out of my seat and I went to watch what was happening on the news. My mind was still processing the constant feed of reports that was broadcasted and the next thing i did was to thank God i'm alive!
People back home in Singapore may not feel the impact, but i was feeling it throughout the day. In fact, i shuddered during the news broadcast. Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech are pretty similar I guess... Same type of campus, same number of people, we are like sister schools according to the GT president's email and it's just happening at a neighbouring state!
For people even back home, let's not take safety and security for granted.
This blog entry is dedicated to the family and friends of the victims and to all the students, professors and staff at Virginia Tech. May God's peace and comfort be there for each and every one of them.
No music video will be put up as a mark of respect for the victims of this event.
