erratic weather..
Europe became an Arctic zone..
South China experiences snow..
Australia's flood situation is worsening...
& definitely not good news for food prices...
saw china in some of the headlines again..
first is china thinking of legislating laws to make it mandatory for the children to visit their parents..
wat happen to a nation which prides herself of filial piety??
& i personally believe that the children din not do tt (not visiting the parents) on purpose..
air transport is still either out of reach for the average chinese (dun think there is budget chinese carriers, or are there?) so rail is the most popular mode..
however, travelling to home one way can take days! due to e sheer size of china & the lack of high speed trains in china. plus not forgetting perhaps e majority of e chinese still hav to take a bus after alighting from e train as rail coverage in rural areas is pathetic, if any..
if i were in their shoes,e hassle of travelling is definitely putting me off & will minimise e number of visits..
so personally i feel there may be other problems in play, not simply cos ppl are getting less filial..
& i also feel that filial is a very subjective issue.. esp between generations cos perception changes..
so whose opinions to cater to??
公說公有理， 婆說婆有理， 變成順得哥來失嫂意。。。
seriously no point lah..
next is china testing her latest fighter jet which can pose a challenge to US military dominance in the future..
seems like e rivalry is getting more intense..
i believe china will hav her 分寸 & not be reckless..
& im pretty sure e last thing e world wants to see is the two biggest economies at loggerheads..
althought i think actualli they may be right now.. hmm..
jus a thought: need e east & west necessarily clash??
& shooting incident is happening again in USA..
instead of e school campus, this doesnt occur in sch & is somehow an attack with political motive..
e most saddening of all is innocent ppl lost their lives cos of it... with e youngest being merely 9 yrs old..
whenever i come across such news, i cant help but get emotional..
why take away someone's life?
did he/she did something unforgivable??
even so, who are u to decide if e person deserves to die??
but i suppose when human are irrational, we can do ANYTHING...
speaking of young, there is a 4 year old canadian girl who got breast cancer & recovered from it..
OMG!
it alr surprises me somewhat a few years back when i know that man is not immune to breast cancer..
now im being told even a kid who haven even reach purberty can contract tt?!?!
i can foresee breast cancer being e cancer to look out for moving forward....
