Sick sick sick

Our global economy is SICK...seriously sick...and it seems to get worse and worse and worse...and nothing seems to be able to cure it...more and more businesses going bust, some on the verge of bankruptcy...people losing jobs and some people on the verge of losing jobs and some people may lose jobs in the future, companines cutting back salaries and headcount etc etc etc...In HK, the suicide cases grow daily...it rose higher than the hang seng index...it's just painful to read newspaper everyday :( Let's all pray pray and hope the global economy will become healthy and strong again like it once did...and hope it cures sooner...BUT with all of these crisis happening, HK maintains its reputation....Let me tell you WHY (in indian accent)...HK is an amazing place..with all of these happening, the only place you won't feel like economy is sick is when you are walking inshopping malls....the other, i brought my boss for lunch and we had to pass by rows and rows of shops...and guess what? people were buying like crazy...mayb it's because xmas is coming and people are spending on gifts....a lot of shops have sales up to 50%...there were a lot of shops with people fighting for merchandise and Q'ing up to pay...we just couldnt believe our eyes...my boss found it ironic....he's from US and he said in US, you don't see sights like this...this is just unbelievable..i nodded in agreement coz even i cant believe the scenes i was seeing...HK...unique :) and full of energy...i guess xmas could help people forget they are in such a poor state of financial status....and temporarily forget about the problems and threats....and i guess for human, esp in hk, the best way to cure people is discounts...mayb this is one way of saving $ to *wink* *wink*
