"Why hate?" he says. "The world is full of hate, and yet they don't know what they want."

it's barack! he is what the generation needs, even if it's just the facade. 

not so familiar with biden, but the sight of palin makes me sick.

i wonder when the economy will pick up (it'll take years i believe) and not hear sighs so every now and then from the kopitiam tables next to me. everything was dandy and then, crashed! nowadays, the only green people talk about is the greenback.

got myself 3 new books (nassim taleb & warren buffett). i bought 5 on a whim, when i was browsing the airport bookstore with my bro whilst waiting for my parents' flight to arrive. i am most glad to sacrifice my clothes budget if my bro actually showed his interest in books - to the extent of committing himself to one should i buy for him. i plonked the books, along with his 2 picks on the counter before he could change his mind. i would get him more, but i decided not to tempt with his fragile & mild interest in reading by my being zealous. 

jingle in the air

over dinner last night at the airport, the girls started making plans for christmas. suggestions, valid or wild flew across the table. mainly the choices are havin fun indoor or party out. 

while things look like they will take a while before they settle, talking about holiday cheers the spirit like good ol' christmas does every year. christmas is warmth loved ones are love and presents are joy.

i'm feeling a little bit of christmas jingle in me each day already!
