1. Money first. Dreams later. The Dark God of Capitalism, etc., The Unnameable Slithering Horror, is actually not the worst fate for Southeast Asia after all.
2. I am exactly like my father, temperament-wise, hence my impatience with incompetence. Uh-oh.
3. Cities need effective mass public transportation. Especially poor ones.
4. Moderate Islam is in the fight of its life. I don't want to sound hysterical but the situation is much more dire than I think outsiders know - not in terms of the effects on the amorphous "war on terror" but in terms of the survival of the affected nations/states.
5. I need to grow up. I need to settle down. I need to stop comparing myself to others and be honest with myself about what I need, not what others think I need.
6. Everybody wants to be Korean.
7. I am actually pretty good at killing mosquitoes.
8. Typing without an a key is hard.
