  Oh and you know what sux? There is nothing for you to boil water here so I bought bottled water from the vending machine outside at a rip off price of US$1.25 for 500ml of water

  WTF kind of hotel are you staying in?

  Really, I'm not kidding. A friend of mine from the US told me that a lot of these people are practically unemployable elsewhere and many have some sort of mental problem requiring medication. He's only partially exaggerating.

  SG seems to be heading towards the same direction

  One thing that interests me is when the US dollar will finally stop enjoying the free ride its had since the post-WW2 era
  
  Imagine one day every country says fuck this, lets do our transactions in euro or gold or whatver instead

  the US has been consuming and consuming while producing very little...
  
  it's going to implode one of these days and the world is going to go into some massive recession.. it'll be made worse by the environmental mess we're already in...
  
  look for the Dark Age of humanity soon.. something which we may not survive through..

  Quite a number of people I know have no idea the US dollar these days is really an IOU, without any backing from gold or silver of equivalent value. Its like a banana note bomb waiting to go off.
  
  And China is now one of America's largest creditors, the irony of it.

  Gorging while being sad is emo eating.
  
  Better to go for retail therapy, or get a new hairstyle.

  It's ok, we all need to shop and do up our hair, anyway.
  
  But it's true...women tend to have this thing about doing their hair, esp. after a break-up.
