Agile Bush avoid "scud" shoe missile!!

The clip downloaded from youtube....

Outgoing U.S president George Bush was at a press conference in a farewell visit to Iraq and an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes, one followed by another at Bush...the US president was agile enough to duck and avoided both "attacks"...

Such agility for a president? whahaha....

However, the journalist was then "attacked" by security until he suffered a broken arm and broken ribs....such mush for heroism....

Another one....Sigh...

Sounds like just another "US president"
Obama vows to stamp out terrorism and put an end to the Iraq war...blah blah blah....just like any other president....can he do it? like i said before it's just another US president...
The first thing he must do is the stabilise the US economy.
If he can't do that everything else is useless...terrorism will never be wiped out...we must all know how to cope with it...
Eventually, he must not talk the walk but to walk the talk....

Enough of OBAMA lah!!!

Ever since the U.S elections, everyone, everything, everywhere, iz all about Obama this, Obama that...iz enough! iz just another person taking on supposedly the most powerful appointment in the world....
Do we need to be concerned? Do we need to care? Basically i dun give a damn whether who becomes the U.S president....politics has never clicked with me....needless to say politics in other countries...whoever who becomes the president, wars will still go on, terrorism will continue to strike fear into the world, recession will not immediately recover, LIFE STILL GOES ON....what difference will one man make?
Are we just blindly following the news trends just like fashion trends?
"well, everyone talks about Obama, so i have to talk about him too to stay in the 'Hip' group?"
There was also lots of talk when Bush was elected...now where is he? also just another guy stepping down from the appointment...people will most probably remember him as the president when 911 happened....
Let's just get on with whatever and stop harping on Obama being president....

In Houston.....

Was in Houston, USA for business trip....legs went about 14 hours without touching ground and waiting time of about 7 hours in between transits....Finally reached and went shopping straight away!!!
Day 1: Rented a car for ground travel in houston....Hyundai Sonata...came with a GPS navigation system...boy with that, it was like i had lived in houston for a long time!! when it comes to an exit of an expressway, the GPS will sound you off to turn here, turn there, and the distance to that turning.....
Hotel was JW Marriot Hotel Houston....Quite a luxurious hotel....th bed especially shiok!!!
Factory outlets in houston were good for shopping as they were very very cheap!!! Katy Mills shopping mall was the first stop.
Next was the up marlet shopping centre, the galleria in the heart of the Houston Downtown...LV, Coach, Tiffany and Co, u name it, they here!!

Day 2: Headed for another 2 factory outlet shopping malls....The Prime shopping mall and Tanger shopping mall...The 2 malls are somewhat linked together and they are HUGE!!!
Very cheap branded buys....you wouldnt believe it!!!
But the trip there and back was bad....a total of 6 hours on the roads...by the time we finished with the place, it was about 7pm....then we headed for HRC..HARD ROCK CAFE!!! Then it was home sweet home!!! Day 3 would have to be the start of work......wonder how long will the site visit take.......
