omg omg omg... the death toll keeps climbing...sigh... it is at 16,000 and increasing. And i realised several things, firstly the death toll is way off as myanmar hasn't even reported its casualty rates yet and 10, as reported in the straits times is definately a very low figure. Also, many of the dead would never be found, as many are washed out to sea and decomposed or got eaten by fish. Lastly, Jet Li, one of my fav kung fu stars, is missing!!! he was out in the maldives,and he can't swim very well... I pray he will be fine...

juz one more thing... the tehran earthquake last year which killed 41,000, happened on 26th dec 2003... exactly one year ago...
