Lehman Brother --> bankruptcy
AIG --> survive with $85 billion help from US Govt
WaMu -->  purchased by Chase in 1.9 billion
Wachovia --> purchased by citigroup in 2.16 billion

we know many more are coming . . .
i am just wondering how much more can FDIC afford?

what a dynamic day... i arrive UH at 7:30; it's the earlies in my life.  i was one of the few line up and wait the library to open. i was wondering what the hack is going on with those people, it's in the middle of the summer, and it's saturday at 7:50 am. Yes, it's A.M. and in font of the liabrary. are they going to study or what? i also went to recreation center, and i jump into the pool. i hang around the pool every summer, but last time i swam was... 4 years ago !?! i am glad that my swimming suit is still fit, and most importantly, i didn't sink. hold on... i am not crazy, and i didn't lost my mind either. alan had an ACT exam @ uh this morning, and that how i kill my time while i was waiting for him. come on, gas is way beyond expensive, it doesn't make sense for me to drive all the way back home to nap an hour and drive another 20 miles to pick him up. right ?

totally forgot there is something call xanga; and almost forgot i got an account in xanga !?!

my life, huh!?! errr... let's see

1) i finish my internship w/ PwC last month.  it's an amazing experience. and most importantly, i really enjoy the paycheck as an intern. i love it, but i don't think i can survive in hk with the experience i get from ias tax group. i dunno why didn't i take the extension. or why couldn't i be a bit more patient and confirm the offer. the name of big 4 is recognized, but is it worth to spend couple years in tax and then transfer to audit in order to get the name of big 4 on my resume?

2) while i was working 70 hours a week in pwc, my school work was absolutely behind. i skipped most ( almost all) of my classes. however, i got an A in my final by randomly picking answers for the multiple choice exam. as the matter of fact, my gpa was pulled to 3.76 and honor was awarded as well.

3) oh yeap... i graduate last friday with my master degree. believe it or not, i was not excited at all. i was more happy and proud of myself when i graduate with my bba. i know i didn't post any pictures beside the profile picture. i promise i will, just bare with me.

4) life after graduation is simple and relax. time goes really fast with internet and tv series. i work since my freshmen year, it's time for a break. i really enjoy doing nothing.

5) i am done with school, but it doesn't mean i am done with studying. after " hae- ing" almost a month, i think it's time to pick up and cpa books. i really need to crack it down.

6) my mum keep asking me that if i can get an any unemployment benefit. kind of funny... i have offers, but i dunno which one i want. life is not prefect. " i like this one becoz the compensation is good, but . . ." ;  " i like this one becoz that's something i enjoy to do, but . . ." ;  " i like this one becoz it will give me a better future, but . . ." i hate the letter of B, U , and T. too many choices, too many concerns. i hate to make decision, especially a decision that will potentially affect the rest of my life. 

7) all rite, life has to move on. today, my life is full of excitement and uncertainty, but i am ready to step ahead to see my unpredictable future. err... when did i become an optimism?

btw, dun you know what the hack i am talking about !?!
