Guess, the sense of solidarity (as Melbournians) gave me this courage to post a respond comment here on Victoria's (also Australia's) most devastating tragedy. Was (& still am a little) concerned about being perceived as "encroaching" on other friend's turf. Maybe I am too self-conscious... So far 450,000 hectares or 1.1 million acres of forest/bushland had been totally burnt, 1800 homes destroyed, more than 1 million wild animals & livestock killed, est. up to 300 people killed and thousands more left homeless and injured. It's not over yet. Currently, 20 bushfires are still going on. Many parts of Melbourne are experiencing ash shower & shrouded in faint smoke. On a brighter note, the fires are under control & response from the public has been overwhelming. (> A$100 million donated so far). Read both your Chinese & English postings. But I am more fluent in English. Chinese & Malay are a bit rusty. 也许是因为泡在洋人的地盘太久了吧. :) . Yep, indeed Carlton is a nice suburb. Lived there (in Cardigan St, near Victoria Pde) for about 12 years. Still check out Lygon St & Vic Market occasionally to relive the good old days. :) Well, before I overwhelm you with this long comment, I'd better go. Have a memorable V-Day with your other half! Till another time :) Hi Shirls,

I hope this tradegy will also remind us of more actions needed to be taken for the planet. On the other hand, life in physical form is fragile and unpredictable, yet, I believe our spiritual strength will be able to transform all struggles and challenges.... Ah ! Thanks for visiting here for a while and thanks for your kind words :) It is a great motivation for me. Really appreciate it. I did not get the chance to write more about Melbourne as much I would love to because I tend to be very busy if I am in Melbourne. Similar to you, I lived in Carlton for a long time and loving that area. Feel free to comment anytime to share your thoughts and experiences in Melbourne. Wonder if you read my English posts or Chinese posts? I have been a little slack recently, not translating my Chinese posts to English. Anon,

If this is the case, most Melbournians must be affected by the smoke too? Yeah, I heard from friends about the Coles bushfire appeal. Glad to hear that businesses are trying to do some goods too.

May the survivors of this tragedy "rise from the ashes" again, stronger than before. This tragedy also serves as a reminder to us all, of life's fragility and unpredictability, I guess. The following Melb news website, is quite good too: http://www.heraldsun.com.au Had been an obscure visitor to this blogsite since the past year. Many of your blog entries about & life in Melb are reminiscenes of my own past & recent experiences. Good work. Thumbs up, to you... Indeed.
