Friday, the 13th, it wasn’t suppose to be a good day. It wasn’t a bad day either, but it wasn’t great!
I started my day munching on the McDonald’s Breakfast Value Meal (NO CHEESE!), while I waited patiently, as I always “DO”, in the morning for Windows Vista to crawl to a start and Office Outlook to drag itself out of slumber.
Today was my colleague, Val, final day at work. She was going to pursue her dreams in film, acting and production. You can support her at the following places:

The day went on as usual, it rained heavily, so heavily that even though I could not see the outside from within the office, I felt the gloom. Went home after work to rest and chill … it is chilly tonight.
I had gotten a loaf of Delifrance Baguette to eat with my soup for dinner, but the bread was disappointingly hard and dry. I believe it was the bread being left in the air-con for too long. I had experienced this once before, but apparently, I had not learnt my lesson and hear I am … chewing on tough bread again.
Rather breaking news today, as China completed its National People’s Congress, Wen Jiabao made a comment:
“To be honest, I am a little bit worried and I would like to… call on the United States to honour its word and remain a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets.”
This is an alarming issue, as the vast reserves that China has are largely in US Treasury Bonds. Should the US economy collapse, China would be greatly hurt as well. It has become such a delicate situation, because if China starts de-investing the US dollar, it will trigger a worldwide mayhem with all other countries wishing to sell of their US currency.
Economy does not look anywhere near recovery. Many people are worried. What is your view on this? Are you?
