In the wake of the massive earthquake and tsunami that hit much of Southern Asia and East Africa, we have received numerous offers to help from staff and students. Ngee Ann has decided to approach this as a collective effort to better channel our energies to help victims of the devastation
Several groups of students and an alumnus will be spearheading Ngee Ann's disaster relief effort.
This relief effort will consist of two parts:
1. Donations in kind (30 and 31 December 2004)
We are appealing for donations in-kind only for the following items by Noon on 31 Dec.
(please note that no cash donations will be collected during this drive):
Water purification tablets Bandages and plasters (eg. Handyplast and Band-aids) Paracetamol (eg Panadol) Muesli/Granola Bars Rice Instant Noodles Canned Food Tents Blankets Ground Sheets
Medical items stated in red and bold above are of greater immediate demand.
The details for the collection are as follows:
Dates: 30 and 31 December 2004

I'm still reeling from the news. I'm still horrified. 67,739 : the death toll. Been hooked on CNN since sunday. I've never seen my living room tuned to CNN the moment someone's at home. Really. Not since 9/11. But this time, it's scarier cause it hits so close to home. Was talking to Bryan just awhile ago. I've been complaining too much. It's time to count my blessings. No wait, I can't count my blessings. It's so abundant. I should be enjoying my blessings and be a blessing to others. I can't imagine what would have happened if it hit Singapore. I mean we're living on a pathetically TINY island. We'd probably have been engulfed in like 10 minutes. Graves wouldn't even hafta be dug for us. Sorry for sounding so negative here. I'm just being Cheryl for a bit. But even after all the negativity, I THANK GOD!! I really thank God for keeping us safe. Psalm 91! I've totally claimed the protection of Psalm 91 in my life, my family and all those around me.
Okay, I think I'm gonna take a bit of a rest now. I'm feeling vey faint now. Maybe it's cause I haven't eaten the whole day and I donated blood :\ All I ate before that was Junz's oreos. Lols. And my hand's aching. Or maybe it's just psychological. Been feeling very melancholic lately. I don't know
