Last but not least

After the USA Pavilion, I thought I could make it to China Pavilion. Unfortunately, time was not at my side. So I just able to gaze its beauty. And that's wrap up the Word Expo trip for me.

USA Pavilion

Photos taken with mobile phone are incomparable with DSLR camera, even though it's 5MP camera phone. From Europe zone, I walked towards the end, passed by Africa and South America zone. The destination was USA Pavilion. Why that pavilion? Because in that pavilion you can only find empty hall and cinema hall. Simply because their method of presentation was in video form, which is what they are good at. The video presentation was presented in 3 parts. The first part was welcoming, followed by Americans culture and life, and finally environmental consciousness. At first sight, it might be quite a boring pavilion, but after viewing all the video presentations, you'd appreciate the message. After all, this is what Hollywood good at influencing people through movie making. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Fluctuation of stock causes heart disease?

Funny, but I don't think this is entirely true. The chart below explains on the x-line it's the daily point changes in the Shanghai composite, and on the y-axis, it's the changes in the rate of coronary death on those days. Well, there are the fewest heart attacks on days when the stock market moves the least. Read here for more.

Meditation

Because reading the Scriptures without reflecting is like eating without chewing... Sometimes we read because we thought we ought to. At the end we learn nothing from it. There's God in every page of the Scriptures. Do not miss him. Psalm 63 1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. 4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. 5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. 6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. 7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. 8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Looking forward with faith

Another year ended, another new year dawn. Sometimes things happen which we may not comprehend. Things happen beyond our control. And we all should know that God is at work. The events of history have become acts of destiny. Little actions have great significance. Happy new year. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
