So disappointed a lot of friends can't go to the carnival on Sun but still looking forward it~ Hopefully something will go wrong to give some extra bam to the day :p

I'm a little hooked on Christina Aquilera recently. Holy c#@p. What a voice. So powerful yand such range. Simply amazing. And after seeing a video of her performing when she was just 9 was simply"chills" worthy.

Going north tomorrow but a little scared. My friends and colleagues have been telling stories of Quentin Tarantino proportions. Yikes. Why is it that its so different up there? Why is it that the chinese people can seem to turn a blind eye on the problems happening in their own country. It feels almost as if robberies, fraud, violence and tragedies due lack of care is so everyday now, people just seem to shrug it off. We are taught to protect ourselves but have we really thought of why these problems persist even as China is experiencing unprecedented economic growth? Is all this strife and difficulties necessary for the Chinese people to grow? I feel guilty raising questions I have no answers to or can't act upon but i still feel it necessary to ask. Don't know if anybody actually reads this blog, but if you have answers then leave some comments please~

Note of the day: Russia will start to play nasty to hold on to its current economic prowess as the Iraq war has already held on for 4 years and the US can't keep it up forever. It also isn't helping that Azerbaijan gets ready to supply oil to eastern Europe, one of Russia's top customers. It would be interesting to see how that pipeline gets built through Russian territory unscathed.
