The tsunami’s effects are still fresh in the minds of many.....the lessons from it should not be lost.
Tsunami aside, your captures are truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
It was really a sad time indeed for everyone, our fellow Malaysians and esp. for those in Acheh. We were unaware of the tragedy as I'd been busy then preparing for a long journey when a relative from overseas called us and asked if we were affected.
During the journey I met some people from Acheh who when asked said they didn't know what had happened to their family..and they felt helpless.
December = tsunami.. semuanya dalam kenangan.. moga kejadian tidak akan berulang...
cantikla gambar... captures sharp sgt... tak jemu melihat!. thanks for sharing
last year kitorang kursus jabatan kat sini la..haah dpt tengok.mmg tepi pantai tempatnya
OMG... I saw the video and at first they were laughing at the 'big wave' after they realized it wasn't just a wave.
I think that is an interesting way of remembering the event by keeping the damaged houses and fencing them
its a sad event and memory ....I believe we should always learn from the worst so as to make the present & future better...man had and still took for granted nature but this event shows how the calm ocean can reveal to be such a killing calamity and hopefully people in this region will be more careful now...
peace to the soul of those people who met their end during this tragic event
Nice article...relly I like U blog.
with 68 deaths, malaysia should considered itself very lucky to escape from the full force of tsunami compares to her neighbours, indonesia and thailand...always with loving remembrance to those who perished during this tragic episode...
semoga kenangan ini semakin membuat kita lebih dekat kepada ALLAH SANG KHALIQ
