To say that the weekend's been depressing would be kind of an understatement for most of us who are glued to our devices and internet to keep up with the news. So, have they found it? Did MH 370 veer off course and land somewhere safely? Is everyone OK?
You are not being paranoid, in case you think you have gone nuts, scanning though the news despite not having a relative on the flight. Most of us are trying to keep optimistic and stay calm, we are trying to have some hope every time some debris is said to have been found and it turns out negative. No debris = hope.
Things like this happen, without reason, it happens. It's called Shit Happens.
No explanation and no way out of them. But the thing that really scares people is the thoughts that run through our heads every time CNN comes up with their 'BREAKING NEWS' sign. We will all continue to fly and travel everywhere, knowing that the odds of such things happening is lower than the risk of taking your car out to the supermarket or turning up your gas to prepare dinner.
It's this.
MH 0066 could have been MH 370 and if that was case, I wished everyone on MH 0066 was safe too.
I am sure I am not alone.
I have written before about how difficult it was for me to get my kids' passports renewed (to this day, they are NOT renewed because I was so frustrated, I kinda gave up, sorta) so, I don't get how people could get in and out of Malaysian immigration so easily when they are foreigners. Should I get my kids fake passports too because it seems easier to get your hands on fake passports than to renew legitimate ones?
And you won't belieeeeeeeeeevvvvvvveeeee the kind of attitude Malaysians have to deal with at the Immigration Department. They act like they own the whole system, which breaks down as and when they like (I could have been really unlucky but for the 4 times I took my kids there early in the morning, the system broke down right before or during lunch hour). That's half a day wasted. For nothing. And we deal with conceited attitudes of the officers, like they keep us at ransom. Like if we don't like their slow working ways, we can just take our shit and leave. Like we are asking them for a favor.
I hope the world will now have a long, hard look at all their immigration laws and procedures.
Some might say that this is wishful thinking (considering the fact that many people have started saying it 'crashed') but I hope for a miracle. Something that movies are made of.
Love,

p.s. It is also sad that the issues of 9/11, terrorism and religion is now linked to MH 370's mysterious disappearance. =( True or not, I would hate to have their fate linked with such gruesomely hateful acts.
