2008 Christmas Carol

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

爱一个人

如果你不爱一个人,
请放手，好让别人有机会爱她。
如果你爱的人放弃了你,
请放开自己, 好让自己有机会爱别人。
有的东西你再喜欢也不会属于你的,
有的东西你再留恋也注定要放弃的。
人生中有许多种，但别让自己为一种伤害。
有些缘分是注定要失去的,
有些缘分是永远都不会有好结果的,
爱一个人不一定要拥有,
但拥有一个人就一定要好好的去爱她。
男人哭了是因为他真的爱了。
女人哭了是因为她真的放弃了。

如果真诚是一种伤害, 我选择谎言;
如果谎言一种伤害, 我选择沉默;
如果沉默是一种伤害, 我选择离开。

如果失去是苦，你怕不怕付出 ,
如果迷乱是苦，你会不会选择结束,
如果追求是苦，你会不会选择执迷不悟，
如果分离是苦，你要向谁倾诉,
好多事情都是后来才看清楚,
好多事情当时一点也不觉得苦!!!!

赖床

我的生理时钟好像坏了。。。平时最喜欢周末的，因为可以睡到日上三竿，才起来。。。自然醒当然是最好的了，平时都要靠闹钟把我唤醒。。。

在这两天的周末，我蛮早就醒了。。。五点多。早起的鸟儿有虫吃。。。可是我又没什么事情做，也没吃虫的嗜好，哈哈。

今早醒了之后，就躺在那胡思乱想。。。某件事困扰着我。迷迷糊糊就赖床到日上三竿。。。唉，好迷惑！这么会这样呢？怎么办呢？ 好奇怪的感觉。。。

Pirates...

海盗。。。似乎离我蛮遥远的，除了玩过海盗船，看过Pirates of the Caribbean之外，我以为他们是不存在的， 但是最近看了几篇新闻后，原来现代的海盗还蛮猖狂的。。。

At first, I thought they only existed in ancient time, where people were poor and forced to become pirates to earn a living. Surprisingly, nowadays pirates are so active in Somali area and have hijacked many ships passing by. It seems that the ship's crews can do nothing when hijacked by pirates...except surrender and wait for the company to pay ransom to those pirates. Pathetic...

According to the IMB, 77 ships have been attacked off Somalia since January, 31 were hijacked while 10 are still being held for ransom. Pirates are holding about 200 crew members.

Pirates are rife and well organised in the area where Somalia's northeastern tip juts into the Indian Ocean, preying on a key maritime route leading to the Suez Canal through which an estimated 30 percent of the world's oil transits.

The pirates operate high-powered speedboats and are heavily armed, sometimes holding ships for weeks until they are released for large ransoms paid by governments or owners.

These news drew my attention because recently, I taught some students who are the future seafarers. Seafarer... a high-paid job but not my choice of career. I’ll definitely suffer if I was a seafarer…on the sea for few months…no entertainment, no Internet, no drama, no shopping…I think I’ll be bored to death.

Anyway, I wish all the best to u people…hopefully you won’t have any chance to deal with the pirates. God bless always… 一帆风顺。。。
