Greed,,

It's been clear that the whole global financial market is in crisis now and everything is so messy, that some journalist has stated that "capitalism has collapsed". Financial market has been running with full of greed this past years. CEO and the so called "executive" have been paid with such a fat green check for the amount of money can be generated into the market, not matter it's a real or fake money. The collapse of Lehman Brothers had been at least cost some retirees to lose most of their life savings, and it's quite shocking to read the news that just several months before it's collapsed, the company had paid 20 millions to several executives that quit the company. AIG has been spared, but ugly news reported that the executives had celebrated this bailout with $44,000 spa. Well, mess has been created, we can just hope that small people like us will not be impacted so much by this crisis/recession, and not much damage will be created in the history.

After tiring but good step class at novena last Sunday, there's a fire problem near the male changing room that caused bad smell smoke (like burning wood) and the electricity was cut off. I rush to changing room to take all my thing and leave. But, surprisingly, all people in the changing room still moved in slow motion in the very dimmed light. Even there's one fat guy still slowly walk around naked, not sure what happens if there's immediate evacuation.

Well, in the middle of bad things going around, we just need a song to relax ourselves. I like this version of "Over the Rainbow", which according to the description in YouTube, is sang by Israel Kamakawiwo.
