No Rest.
State: tiredoh man. with a yet-to-dry blanket.. it was a damn cold night.
despite no fan on, armed with my orange adidas, it left me still shivering in cold.
my last resort - woke up the 3rd time in the night, grabbed the should-be dried blanket and tried to return to slumberland. bad rest.

News.
Up to 10,000 people are dead and millions homeless and hungry in cyclone-hit Bangladesh, officials said on Sunday, as the army and aid workers battled to reach the country's devastated coast.
Three days after cyclone Sidr tore into one of the world's poorest nations from the Bay of Bengal, rescue workers were still fighting their way through a landscape of flattened villages and traumatised crowds.
Victims told an AFP correspondent who managed to reach this coastal area that they had not seen any aid workers, let alone a plane or helicopter. Officials said the humanitarian situation in coastal districts like Barguna, 200 kilometres south of the capital Dhaka, was catastrophic.
A stunned 25-year-old woman, Jahanara, recounted how she managed to cling to a tree as the storm ripped away everything around her, including her husband, two sons and mother, and even the clothes on her back. Messages of condolence have been pouring in from abroad - and pledges of aid are increasing, providing hope that the relief operation will soon swing into high gear.
after reading this news. i feel that i want to go there straightaway. sometimes i don't understand. why the poor always suffer. their lives already so poor.. why do they have to face such crisis. looking that them.. i feel disgusted at myself. what is a middle child crisis then?
