tonight's a cold night. i'm making hot milo to warm myself up.
been raining these few days and i'm quite sure this will go on for the whole month.
listening to BBC proms on radio 3 iplayer (live symphony concert from their Royal Albert Hall)
been following bbc recently and will be for a long time to come due to studies.

was reading a page(or article) i came across with a heavy heart,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7799610.stm
it's the list of UK soldiers who died in Afghanistan and Iraq.
the list detailed their names, origins, age, ranks, where and how they died; each with individual news article.
most of them in their twenties. some as young as eighteen.
one died while retrieving an afghan soldier's body. "leave no one behind".
i'm deeply saddened by the fact that soldiers are still dying while protecting their countries and people of other countries.
in my head, soldiers no longer die on patrol, or got blasted up by bombs.
but the reality (or news) often struck me that im not living only in my own little country.
perhaps my home is too small, and i have no idea of how dangerous it really is to be a REAL soldier.
but here, i pay my utmost respect to these soldiers who demonstrated bravery.

and not to forget,
Mr Edward Kennedy, Senator of the United States.
Rest well.
