yet another major earthquake in S America..
but its real fortunate tt e epicenter is right deep inside e ocean and hopefully e damage is nto as heart wrenching as e Haiti earthquake..
& looking at wat US intend to do recently, which is e sale of weapon to TW, i think US gahmen is trying to flex its muscle and warn China not to disregard her as another Japan while she is growing..
but is there a need to??
e chinese leaders shd jolly well know e implications..
even for Japan, which is China's main arch rival, at least they are maintaining a amicable r/s as long as Japan dun provoke China on e historical issue.
畢竟餓死的駱駝比馬大。。
so why rub salt into e alr not smooth sailin US-Sino relationship (due to e countless trade disputes)??
then this leads me to think abt e political situation in both TW & US..
they exhibit surprisingly similarities..
both e leaders are experiencing record low support..
TW is alr hav a state/province election while US House of Representative is having one at e end of e yr..
e TW ruling party suffered quite a defeat in this election due to e inability of e gahmen to solve e crisis issue..
wondering if e same will happen to US side.. esp when e economic situation is still not tt clear cut yet..
if e Democrats were to suffer a similar fate, tt will realli put a big question mark on Obama's revolution plan he talked abt during e President election campaign..
some of e plans eg Healthcare plan alr nearly din went thro and e 'final' version is wat i wld say quite a 'waterdowned' version liao..
moving on, e Toyota crisis is still raging at full blast..
CEO of Toyota is going to US to giv a explanation to e House of Representatives..
makes me realli me 'wah, got so serious bo?'
but how come e faulty cars are concentrated in US and other Asia??
QC prob??
big setback for Toyota man..
one of e most diff thing to build is reputation and Toyota may had jus destroyed it with its own hands..
then i heard now Honda also got issue?? *face palm*
last news tt caught my eye over e week is ex UN sec Kofi Annan called for Asia to help Africa..
when i was reading e news, i realli went "HUH??!!"
cos Africa dunno receive how much aid from Western/developed countries liao..
then billions of debts are also 'forgiven'
& now u want Asia which is in general still a developing and poor continent to help u??
okay, i wld say in terms of developing experience, Asia can help Africa out cos both continents hav rather diverse cultural background etc..
but if e continent still remains stagnant of decades of aids etc, shdn't one realise tt e prob may lie in yourself instead??
main prob of Africa is its civil wars..
how can one country develop when its ppl are fighting against one another??
jus look at China in the 1930s will do liao..
so how do one expect others to resolve on ur personal internal matters??
not fun lor esp when politics are involved..
worst is become 裏外不是人
i believe tt if Africa can settle its 'family' matters, e rest of e world will be more than willing to help it develop..
but before tt, 很難嘞。。。
moving away from current affairs..
its e last day of CNY + end of Feb le.. haiz..
still din achieve much things..
but at least now i can shop for shoes liao =P
realise my high heels vastly outnumbered my low heels and i dun wanna complain abt leg prob in my later stage of life.. lolz..
but i hav one feedback to e various shoe brands - can design chio low heels??
& i nid to refrain shopping with ning liao.. haha
cos most times i jus intend to accompany her to shop but end up i also spent quite a bit..
so e latest shopping trip is also no exception
plus i also bought some items online and lemming for more.. =.="
finally, after months of pestering from my frens and procrastinating, i go create FB acct liao..
& its actualli Eugene tt help me create one.. =P
then these few days hav been adding frens until blur liao..
& somehow feel veri nostalgic when in FB..
all e sch daze photos, long lost frens in which quite a num change so much during e yrs, then frens who are my age getting engaged/married or even married liao..
can get emo man..
