Disaster

I couldn't find the mood to write much last week or so.
Firstly, my CPF investments are doing so terrible; if I sold them, I would have made 14k & more losses.
That would mean that I'll have to hold.
How long will it take to break even, given that the global financial market is down and looks like for the long haul.
The only consolation, if any, is that I could hold. That's all.

Never will I dream that I would be affected by the downfall of Lehman Brothers but I am.
It is too distressing to think about it. I can't go on to think about it.

Then came the food scare on the toxic chemical found in milk products from China.
On the recall list are some items I've been consuming- vitasoy milk, meiji milk.
Hastily read the labels- made in Hong Kong, and made in Thailand.
All common consumables are from Asia. Are they not safe?
What has become of the world.
