Hi all!
It's been a long time since I last posted (nearly a year, to be exact!). So, I thought perhaps it's time for me to start writing again (though I've been writing for the past two months, albeit for another purpose). Anyway, when I was looking through all the online editions of global newspapers this morning, I came across a shocking news flashing on Times UK's frontpage.

Anyway, when I was looking through all the online editions of global newspapers this morning, I came across a shocking news flashing on Times UK's frontpage.
A powerful earthquake (5.8 on the Richter scale) has shocked Italy and so far, nearly 20 people have died from this disaster. My prayers go out to Italy, to all Italians especially those directly affected by the earthquake. Official reports have said that the death toll will keep increasing as many people are still trapped. Some old buildings have collapsed and a road leading to one of the villages affected was blocked by these rubbles. Even some modern buildings were not spared.
It's sad to be greeted by such a gloomy news especially on a Monday morning and it's not helping at all now that it's also pouring incessantly at the moment. And with the current economic situation, nothing seems to be cheery. I just hope for a fast recovery.
