The Gloomy Day...

Unpredictable things happened again. Lehman Brothers has filed for bankruptcy after an uptight negotiations failed to rescue.

The plunge straight right down, hitting hard on the concrete flooring has punched hard on many many many others worldwide like a ripple effect.

While many see the whole situation black and gloomy, the big fishes see opportunities to devour the small and helpless ones.

Just on last sun, Lehman Brothers collapsed Sunday as Barclays pulled out of talks. Then on wed, quoted from channelnewasia: “Barclays said Wednesday it had reached a deal to acquire the North American investment banking and capital markets businesses of beleaguered US investment giant Lehman Brothers for US$1.75 billion. The bank said it would acquire trading assets with an estimated value of US$72 billion and liabilities worth US$68 billion for a cash consideration of US$0.25 billion.”

Then yesterday, received a bad news that my friend’s daughter, one of the twins she has, had passed away. I am in a lost as much as I wanted my comfort to make her feel any better..but I know no amount of comforting words will make up for the lost….

I still remember chatting with my friend some time ago, asking about her and her daughters and she was telling me Sharlene is learning how to sit upright. And I recently browsed thru pictures of their visits to the lantern festival. Sharlene was so well and cheerful and I was still hopeful she will be able to run around like her sister......life is full of many unexpectations.......


.....bye Sharlene
