Three Years Ago
Three years ago on this very night, Prom Nite is what we had and I still miss organising the event at Grand Hyatt Singapore.
Three years later, we have all moved on to different places and got on with our lives, be it in school, working life or doing what many young men hates to do.
=========================
I didn't go to the airport yesterday because I was paralysed with breathing difficulties, one of the Singaporeans stuck at Mumbai's Oberoi Trident died tragically and my blood ran cold when my mum told me the news. It seemed so surreal to hear so many lives lost in the hands of terror-loving people who despised peace and their actions were condemned worldwide.
Bangkok's international airport continued to remain in the hands of People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) protestors and they still refuse to decamp from the airport until Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat resigns. I wonder what are the consequences Thailand could face other than what has been mentioned by many analysts.
I hope that once President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama is inaugurated on 20th January 2009, peace could reign again. May the Bush era which had caused so much of grief and loss of lives be replaced with a Obama era where the world is more peaceful. Its really depressing to read newspaper reports of people losing their lives to terrorism three years after HS Prom Nite 2005 was held on 29th November 2005 at the Grand Hyatt Singapore.
