Thank you Re, yup .. this picture taken before we getting on to our boat to leave the island, back to S'pore.

OK, at first I really enjoy your picture, but your short story really shocked me up.
Only 5 days before that HUMONGOUS tsunami ???
OMG, you sooo LUCKY for being out of that place before that disaster stroke the island.
Don't you feel like being given a second chance to live by God? I will, if I were you (^.^)v

Have a great weekend there, lucky lady (ehehehehe...I think Miguel is the luckier one, cos he has you as his wife). And thx so much for visiting mine. I love your comment there (^_^)v

OH! That is terrific, Esti. Beautifully composed with the solitude of the coconut tree and that lone island in the distance.

It's been a busy last few days for me, but I'll try to post an entry later on tonight. Hope you'll stop by when you get a moment... if you remember.
