Hmm and haaaaa

It has been a while since I blogged... Well life has been moving along as usual in the general fashion... It is the grand old countdown till the end of the semester... Somehow it is amazing how one gets use to certain things in life and it is hard to change...

For starters looks like winter is fast upon me and I am still adjusting to the fact that the days are getting dramatically shorter and darker... Plus it has finally become winter wear weather... Had nights of below the 5 degee mark... Walked to work at 0700 yesterday with a nice warm 2 degrees celcius for company... But can't really complain as low temperatures mean nice sunny days... Can and wil never trade the sun for anything in winter...

It is the season to be extra careful with one's belongings too... Apparently between now and Chinese New Year is the peak season... So it is a great disincentive to go out... Not that it has stopped me or anything like that...

Oh and I have found yet another creature comfort that I enjoy... It is a liquid creature comfort in Leonidas Hot Chcolate which is only 29 yuan for a decent glass and it comes with a free chocolate... Woo Hoo my new favourtie haunt next to Hersheys... But it is easier to get to Leonidas as it is at the new Shanghai Financial Center...

Well for once in my entire life, I have been closely following the US president election and campaign. 

I was glued to www.cnn.com at work today to watch the changes and votes and everything... Well never thought I would see the day that the 44 preseident elect of the USA is black African American and young. Sure is a mover and shaker.... 

With its colorful past and freedom writers, the visions  and dreams of Martin Luther King Jr are finally coming into fruition.... The activist are finally seeing the fruits of their labor...

What can I say? Barack Obama is going down in the history books... This is a pivitol point of history in the making
