I have to admit that the past week was a rather smooth week for me. I had work, I enjoyed my meals, then I came home from work and dinners I could enjoy a shower, surf the Internet, and go to sleep. Then next day goes on. But we should remind ourselves that while we could happily live our lives satisfied or dissatisfied, over the other side of the country, across the ocean, there are people who are hungry, sleepless, hurt, homeless and heartbroken…
The memorial service was held in both Christchurch and Auckland on 18 March. Many Aucklanders and with people from different parts of the country gathered in the Auckland Museum to take part of this event – “Memorial Service of Condolence and Hope”. Yes, in the event of disasters, hope is most needed.
All the seats were filled and left people standing at the back.

Many leaders went up the stage to give their speech.
Various religions came together, and offer their prayers.
Memorial Service concluded. People began to line up to put red flowers as an act of remembering this tragedy and the people who lost their lives.
The entire Auckland Museum was lit by red lights…that night, the city was washed by the rain.
Everytime when disaster strikes I tend to remember Yuna’s unforgettable quote from Final Fantasy X…
“Everyone… everyone has lost something precious. Everyone here has lost homes, dreams, and friends. Everybody… Now, Sin is finally dead.
Now, Spira is ours again. Working together… Now we can make new homes for ourselves, and new dreams. Although I know the journey will be hard, we have lots of time. Together, we will rebuild Spira. The road is ahead of us, so let’s start out today.
Just, one more thing… The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded…
Never forget them.”作者: [u]nic706 时间: 2011-3-20 13:50:31
