we should be ashamed!

this happened a couple of days ago but somehow i`m still thinking about it. i was in kobe with the guys and xinning n may ching finding our way to a local cinema when we bumped into a group of japanese students.they seemed to be asking for a donation but nothing caught my attention until i heard the word `malaysia`.the first thought that came to my mind was that `oh shit, another disaster in malaysia n they`re trying to help our poor people`. however, i was pretty much wrong. turns out that they`re planning to go to sabah to plant trees!!!! TREES!!ok,they`re students and it`s more likely that they want to go to malaysia to play but who the hell in malaysia has thought about planting back our trees, our treasures,our resources...according to them 14% of trees logged in sabah are exported to japan so the least they could do is plant them back. and what are people at home thinking?!opening reserve forests to make way for palm oil plantations. seriously man, i know we need the $$$ but is it worth it???
