Crisis in Japan

29126 Fukushima residence
13 March
Dear Darren,
It was scary. I was at home, watching television. Suddenly, the lights went out, and it started shaking like mad. The television smashed onto the ground, followed by almost all the furniture. However, I did not feel very scared. Earthquakes were frequent in Japan, and I have been through at least 3. When I ran out of my house, however, I saw something that I would never forget in my life. I was scared out of my wits. A humongous wave up to 20 meters was charging towards Fukushima from afar. I was rooted to the spot, until my neighbor told me to move to higher grounds. Heeding his advice immediately, I ran to the nearby hill 30 meters above ground. Thankfully, I escaped from the tsunami. I saw a few people swept away by the merciless current. Then, it was over, leaving the beautiful country torn and tattered. There were debris everywhere, and Fukushima was flooded. Everything was destroyed. It was then when I realized that life was so feeble, and I should treasure it. One moment, we were enjoying ourselves, another moment, it was sheer terror. Tsunami is no joking matter. I an very grateful to my neighbor for saving me. You are very privileged to be living in Singapore, where there is n disasters, and so I advise you to treasure your life.

Currently, I am save, fortunately alive and kicking. I have no time to think about other stuff other than my family. I am now in a nearby school, and so I wrote this letter to you. Please pray for me.

Yours truly,
Wei Hao
