Do you still remember when this heart-shaken incident happened on 15th March 2011:
Take a look at some of the most unforgettable heart-breaking photos taken after the Tsunami:
14th March 2011, The hand of a man killed by the Japan earthquake in Toyoma, Japan.
13th March 2011, Japanese troops search for earthquake survivors in Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture:
13th March 2011, A woman mourning in midst of the devastation of Natori, Miyagi Prefecture:
Though many countries are already helping, the more remote parts of Japan are still devastated. It will probably take months or even up to years for them to fully recover.
Photos taken from: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/
On 30th March 2011, 9 blogger-representatives on behalf of others to meet Yang Lay in person. That's YangLay's cat in the photo below.
The 9 bloggers are: (Left to right)
Goh Yong Wei, Tee Ying Zi, Cheryl Seow(with cat), Valentine Low(specs), Fenny Hwang, Benjamin Tan(guy wearing a cap), me, Angie Chew & Calvin Timothy Leong.
There, we witnessed the emails of approval by the Singapore Red Cross Society to Beneath The Stars, the readied-stock items which she had prepared for this campaign and also to experience and be inspired by the love & kindness shared by Yang Lay herself on a personal level. Personally, I think Yang Lay is a lady with a genuine heart of gold who empathizes and show compassion to people who are in need.
Personal:
On my first visit to Yang Lay's residence, her son's pet fish unfortunately died and he was extremely upset. At the age of 8, this petite Primary 2 boy did the most heartwarming thing which after so many years of teaching, I've not came across many with such maturity; he buried his pet fish in his back yard with a tiny container filled with water and its favourite pillow, singlehandedly. He even went around his garden trying to look for two branches just so could make a Christ symbol for the fish.
I know of my students who owns fighting fishes threw their fish wrapped in a plastic bag into the rubbish chute when they died.
Upbringing, I'll say.
Friends, please help Japan!

Charity should not be just a one-time effort. There are many others who need our help constantly. The reason being, a situation will not simply just recover by itself, nor in a short period of time. This pain-staking process takes a lot of effort, support, aid and encouragement. Out there right now, there are millions of people in need.
Help share this campaign either via Facebook or on Twitter (hashtag #BTS). Click here to start shopping for your stylish Jewels now and at the same time, we sincerely hope to garner as much support from the bloggersphere to do your part for this devastating Japan Disaster .
If you decide to come back later, you may come back anytime and click on the banner which looks like this. It'll direct you back to this post:
Let’s ALL do something together to help Japan!!!
======================
The meet up with Yang Lay was really heartwarming!
First, Yang Lay shared with us some of her charity work experiences with us.
The photo looked like a group of young children indulging in story-telling around a fireplace, doesn't it?
You see, we were were ABSOLUTELY ATTENTIVE.
We crowded around her work desk and read the emails she exchanged with Singapore Red Cross.
Then, she served homemade muffins: chocolate chip, pandan, almond...

And we had to choose this sort of a ring-accessory for our juice glasses so that ours do not get mix up with the rest.
This is what we do with the accessory to distinguish the glasses from one another:
