How much did you spend today?

I just came across a news that there is this 12 years old girl in Philippine who commit sucide because her family cant fork out a mere $3 for her project. Nearly 14% of the phillippines live on less than three dollars a day. Poor gal who commit sucide because of her financial status.

This news triggered my thoughts. How much did i spend today? $2(transport) + $3.00 (lunch) + $2.60 (milo - studying in mac) = $7.60. Gosh.. unknowingly, i spent around $7.60 and that is not including the cost of note printing. I guess we are really fortunate that we dont have great financial problem. Though i understand that we lead a higher standard of living, i cant help it but to think how much we spent. This is more than the amount that made the girl commit sucide. Maybe I should cut down on my expenses which i think it's difficult.

With regard to Melvin's black diamond movie, which i had watched with Yimei a few years back, it's also a case of poverty. I really hope that poverty in Third world countries would improved. Maybe sending less statellites to the space and other stuffs and help them instead would make the world a better world to live in.

Today i had a weird dream- Dreaming in my dream with a horror section as a desert. Totally spolit my sleep. What a way to start my day.

But i saw ruixiang on the bus today, just like how i bump into junxin on tuesday. It nice to see friends during this period of time.

In addition, i saw this little boy who lies on the floor in popular. Kids are so adorable- imagine that a full-grown adult doing that? IT'S DEEM AS CRAZY. Haa.

Going to slack for a while before pia-ing

The only constant in life is change

I really hope that an angel would be sent down to me next sem. Let's pray.
