This week and last..

Lots of things had happened the last 7 - 8 days and more things are scheduled to happen this coming week..

May 12
I think to Chinese all over the world, this date will not be easily forgotten for many years to come.. The earthquake in Sichuan, China measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale had struck on an otherwise usual Monday afternoon.. Many had been rescue since while many more are still buried under the rubbles.. Donations and (medical/search & rescue) help are pouring in from all over the world.. The good and ugly side of human nature can be seen clearly in these time of great calamity... Looters and robbers exist alongside heroes and selfless common people.. May help reach all those who needs them in time.. For the rest of us who are blessed, please donate to help these people..

May 15
CBS Corporation agreed to buy the popular computer and technology website CNET Networks for US$1.75 billion.
Another M&A that the verdict if it will re-energize the big media corporation is yet to be out..

May 21
UEFA Champions League Finals between Manchester United and Chelsea will be held in Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow... The newly crowned Premier League champions Manchester United will be targeting a first Champions League/domestic league double since 1998-99. I could still remember watching the team who won the treble then.. Peter Schmeichel, Roy Keane, the Neville Brothers, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, etc... Hope the Red devils will win it!! Also I haven't been able to watch a single soccer match in Japan.. :(


The above were all international news/events.. As for me..
