Things has been gloomy these day. Grandfather passed away. Then there's cyclone in Burma which has so far claimed 28000 life, with 33000 people went missing. And the more recent earthquake that struck China with death toll of 12000, and on the rise. What's going on?

My trip to Israel has been canceled, for I haven't gotten my visa so far and that's pretty much expected. My parents were worrying about the war going on between Israel and Arabic nations. But seriously, compared to the nature disaster, or any terminal illness like cancer etc that might befall on me, the risk of visiting Israel is like super low. What's the chances of getting hit by a rocket if I stay away from the war zone? Anyway, my colleague was saying that a major earthquake is bound to happen in US within the next 30 year, as it's like a nature cycle thing. Say if it happens within the next 2 3 years, my room collapses and I may just die in sleep.

Life is unpredictable, so maybe I should just get a motorcycle right away?
