3 big news occured within a week. Is the world really falling apart?
- Fall of the Lehman Brothers, 1 of the 5 biggest investment company. AIG almost followed the same fate, luckily it was saved by the funds pumped in by the federal government. This news was quite a shock as many in hk and in s'pore queued outside AIA to ask about their investments. Now i wonder if mum had any investments on hand with AIA mmm... If AIG was to fall, the shock would be too big for the economy...
- Milk scare in China. This is not the 1st time we heard about food with overdosage of chemicals. Not only food, toys too. For heavens sake, could the manufacturers have some morals?? Does money really mean so important? Much more than lives? It is already bad enough that the milk is being watered down, it has to be ade worse by the addition of melamine to boast protein level. Really very dissapointing.. Now, we can't eat egg tarts for fear of contamination. Starbucks is affected, not drinking milk tea for the time being etc etc... Damn those immoral manufacturers.
- Typhoon in hk. I managed to hide from Nuri but not Hagupit ~.~ Signal 8 on tuesday night. Could hear the howling wind blowing strongly, trees swaying and the banging of blown objects. Strong wind plus heavy rain, can't even hold my umbrella straight. 1st time experience of typhoon man... Signal 3 the next morning and we were like wth, dourpouring with strong winds and yet we have to go to school. Anw, everything went back to normal in the afternoon. No worries, I am safe!
Hope to hear some good news for the coming weeks. GIve me some hope that the world hasn't fall apart!
