it was a honour for hk as well as asia to host such a large scale and high-profile event. i was lucky enough to be a part of this momentous occasion, a once in a lifetime opportunity i may add.

although i was working, i did get a glimpse here and there on what was happening. i am not going to highlight the dignitaries and VIPS, the speeches, etc. as you can probably find all these at http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?pid=2437. so let me show things that weren't broadcasted in the media.

You'd better watch out. You'd better not cry.
You'd better keep cash. I'm telling you why: Recession is coming to town.
It's hitting you once, It's hitting you twice.
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise. Recession is coming to town.

It's worthless if you've got shares. It's worthless if you've got bonds.
It's safe when you've got cash in hand. So keep cash for goodness sake. HEY!
You'd better watch out. You'd better not cry.
You'd better keep cash. I'm telling you why: Recession is coming to town.

Finance products are confusing. Finance products are so vague.
The banks make you bear the cost of risk. So keep out for goodness sake, OH.
You'd better watch out. You'd better not cry.
You'd better keep cash. I'm telling you why: Recession is coming to town...

thanks to the wife for my first piece of land. it also comes with a pair of sheeps.

from computerworld:

internet addiction is on the rise in the world's largest net market (china) and now chinese doctors have officially defined it as an ailment.

users who spend six hours or more per day online, and exhibit at least one symptom including difficulty sleeping or concentrating, yearning to be online, irritation, and mental or physical distress are classified as meeting the definition of addiction.

we spend on average 10 hours a day at work, minus the lunch hour and smoke breaks, that leaves us with 8.5 hours actually working. and of that 8.5 hours, take away 1.5 hours for meetings, which leave us with 7 hours on the computer. of that 7 hours, maybe 1/2 of that time for word processing and the rest online. now add the number of hours you spend online each night at home after work.

so who is not an addict and who doesn't exhibit one of those symptoms listed above?!? chinese docs, a little too late to be telling us this! according to the article, they've even set up clinics to help people escape from the online routine. you can't be serious...
