2008: The road ahead

2008, here comes another “even” year. Time pass so fast, now is already April. Looking back the past three months, the “stupid, unpredictable, strange” weather is occurring almost everywhere worldwide. China having the worst snow storm in half a century, America experiencing the same thing: Storm rain & snow and Australia too having strong winds back in weeks ago. The global warming seems much obvious in this year with lots of weird weather in every possible corner round the earth.
While China is busying with the final preparation and count down for the Olympics, the Tibet issues will definitely be an obstacles for the organiser. Let see what will happen in the next few months until the official opening ceremony in 88888.
Economics & political issues seem hot also all this while. With the market price for crude oil still stand at a high stage, the battle to combat inflation is not an easy task. Apart, this year is an “election year” for many country…with lots of “surprise” and new faces popping up all over the world (Seems true to a certain extent). Lets sit back and see what shall happen next.
Now, lets talk about travelling. Our well-known low cost budget airline carrier is to implement a policy of collecting fees for every single luggage that you want to check in.
Well, personally I really don’t welcome this although I never travel with that airline yet to date. The stand is simple: Since you are “low-cost” and we as passenger had already paid the tickets fees and miscellaneous taxes applicable; why should paid more again?
Lastly, the problems of the supply of “raw rice” are being drawn to “critical attention” as the report claimed that the demand is still high and the supply is lesser this year due to various reasons. Just hope that the relevant personnel throughout the world can resolve this “thing” fast before the situation turn down…
Now is only the 2nd quarter for 2008, I personally think that more things shall pop up and the media may be will have a great dilemma in preparing next year New Year special issues…who knows, right?
Bye for now!
