It's funny how i missed out Bernard and Abel in my thoughts when i was typing the previous entry. Car broke down and thankfully they came to my rescue dead in the night. Timing belt snapped and the whole engine gone case, and it seemed that the parts are almost non-existent. Luckily they found it so all's well.

I went down to their workshop just now and it was really nice talking to these old friends. It brought back memories of me playing CS with them. And i am really glad they 2 brothers have came out and carve a business for themselves. Business seems good and is picking up according to Bernard so that's good. Asked them for some advice on buying a 2nd hand car but too bad i don't have the purchasing power now.

Sometimes, i wish i have a source of income now. It does make things easier, but i guess got to wait till the opportunity comes. And of course, the job must be something that is not against my principles. HAHA. Too much talk with someone about selling backside these days.

Anyway, the financial crisis recently had negative people even more negative, and not surprisingly, the emergence of more money-making opportunities. Indeed, at times like this, or EXCITING times like this as quoted by Mr Jiang, it is really easy to strike it rich if you are lucky and daring to. Everything's cheap now ... Mum told me COE hit $2 for this month. If you have the capital, go for it. You will come out even richer. This is what makes a difference between poor people and rich people.

And recently, my future has been put on thoughts too many times for my liking. Perhaps its because i am already in my third year. What am i gonna do? Drawing a basic salary every month won't get you the swimming pool or the 3 convertibles you want. It's really in the business world where such possibilities lie. A boss paying you VS you being the boss? Nevermind, start working and get the capital first. No income, no talk about doing business.

I was thinking of Brad Bellick's death in the recent episode of Prison Break, and it was something that had lots of similarity to Charlie's death in Lost. Somehow, because of the fact that viewers know that Michael Scofield or his brother, or Jack and Kate ain't going to die because they are too big a character, when these 2nd tier characters die, we suddenly hit the realisation that we aren't going to see them anymore. Particularly for Bellick, whose bad-cop-turned-good character was pitiful, yet at the same time we needed a bumbling guy ... not so smart like Scofield, not so loyal like Sucre ... not so interesting as T-bag ... but someone to just fill up the remaining holes. He was the warden that never managed to keep Scofield locked in, and in Season 4 before he died, he still displayed signs of weakness when he suggested to Sucre to run away together.

But maybe his death is staged. Just like Sara's. Haha. Maybe he got washed down the pipe safely. =)

For now, Bellick, we will all remember you for your heroic sacrifice.
