While I was busy on a shopping spree today, the financial market came crashing down (as if trying to prove how deep down it can fall to). And it all has to happen on this fateful day - 15 September 2008 - dashing the tiniest hope of recovery of even the most optimistic of the lot. -Haiz-

1. One bank filed for bankruptcy
2. Another was bought over
3. One insurance company went into a frantic search for money

It is funny that what goes up must come down but what goes down... well... can stay down or go even downer...
