Every single country is earnestly looking at the U.S.,

whose economic recovery, which will go potentially faster than expected, will spill over into their own economic growth.

For some top-notch Bollywood flicks, people wouldn't miss them for the world.

Slumdog Millionaire, a 2008 movie, was a good example.

Mr. Hu Jintao must be in the fray on a lot of issues with Mr. Obama right now. Face to face.

Swiss bankers must have become nervous wrecks these days.

I suspect that Russia will quickly become a fountainhead of technological innovations.

Americans always do things post-haste, don't they?

The building of the strong hand of a country is consequential.

Consider the case of Somali.

The usage of chemicals in foodstuff should be in accordance with the government regulations.

So the government bears the brunt of being a diligent watchdog.

Firefox has been called 'venerable'. :-)

Chinese descendants are the whole world over.

I like French fries quite done.

McDonald's sometimes doesn't provide that kind of fries. Well, that's for my benefit. :-)

I suspect that without acquiring a foreign language,

monolingual native Americans and Canadians will be done for, in terms of their professional career prospects, in twenty years.

Oh, do I hate the memory leak problem of the Adobe Flash Player on my computer.

Even their current Flash Player 10 consumes a larger and larger chunk of memory and doesn't give it back. Hasn't Adobe learned the art of give and take, yet?

At least two products of Adobe, which are the widely disliked Flash Player and Adobe Reader, have been becoming increasingly outmoded. I wish websites to quickly get rid of the Flash Player by 2013. I pray.

It seems that all in all, Baidu.com's blogging service is not up to par at all.

Every edge cutting takes / wastes time, while it enriches life and sharpens mind.

I enjoy edge cutting, but I don't enjoy the loss of time. What a conundrum.

When, when can I have some time to spend on learning about religions?

I really want to get wind of Christianity and Buddhism.

Trade tit-for-tats among countries are always a considerable cause of concerns.

Montages are so vivid to look upon.

Chilled to the core

Check out this piece of news of Jan. 17th, 2011: Woman’s cries ignored as she freezes to death: Police.

And this: DiManno: Freezing death not a sign we’re cold-hearted.

Quote from the second above article:

In this case, “I’m not saying she should have been let in, but people should have at least phoned 9-1-1.”

Another local resident, George Cheang, had difficulty believing that the victim’s cries would have been ignored. He was awakened about 3 a.m. by “yelling or arguing,” Cheang told the Star. “I thought it was a family argument or perhaps some partying or drinking going on.”

So he went back to sleep.

“They can think what they want to think,” Cheang said of the police claims that the victim’s beseechings fell on deaf ears. “Neighbours always say ‘Hi’ to each other and we often borrow from each other, things like tools.”

Residents of the heavily Asian Rosewood community meet regularly to discuss the importance of reporting suspicious behaviour. Said one neighbour: “We watch over each other.”

I would say people, including myself, are chilled to the core. Oh, that Scarborough neighborhood.

Real-life experience and enlightenment tends to make people have second thoughts.
