Long lost friend asked on IM: “How’s it going?”

Me: “Great” (the conversation began around 9p.m. on Sep 20)
Long lost friend: “You from Thailand, right?”

Me:”yeb, I think the situation’s not as bad as it look.”

I didn’t know how the situation was at that moment since I live in Virginia, so I pointed out to this and this.

Here’s the current situation as of September 21:

- There is no gunfire or bloodshed. It’s a peaceful Coup.

- The situation appears to be calm in Bangkok and everywhere in Thailand.

- There has been some visibility of the army on the streets.

- Some people bring food and flower to the soldiers.

- Thailand still commit to democracy, and we will have a democratic election soon.

Current Mood: Alarmed

Current Mood: Sad

FYI: I’ve just got a new iPod nano, everything is fine except it emits a high-pitched whine or buzz that is audible if I hold it close to ear.

UPDATE: I went to an Apple store and they just let me swap to a new one.
