Oh man! Why is it so difficult to think of a topic for FYP?!

I thought I have successfully come out with a topic until I met my prof. I thought I have a direction for my FYP already but now it seems like I have to re-think it through and I have no idea where to start.

Anyway, yesterday I was watching this fund-raising show on TV for Taiwan's rescue and rebuilding efforts after the typhoon. I didn't realise that the impact of the typhoon was so great until I saw the images on the show.

Some villages were buried by the mud and what replaces them now is just a flat ground. Not much debris, just a flat ground. It does not look anything like a village existed there before. Reports had it that dozens of families were washed away and buried, together with their houses.

It was especially heart-wrenching when I heard an elderly woman in her 70s saying in a sombre voice to the empty ground ahead of her in Hokkien : "I have not eaten. Son, I am waiting for you to come back to eat together."

Hopefully Taiwan will recover soon.
