Well, today was kind of a study day. And reading day. Sounds crazy since it's december. Sighs. What could you expect when it's not official after exams holidays yet?
Okay. shall not describe the studying part. The reading part:D I read Times magazine today. Almost the entire magazine was about Obama! Wow! Ahh Ahh, there was this part that attracted me a lot: Obama's lucky charms.
These items were picked up on his campaign trail.
1)Memorial bracelet
A gift from Wisconsin;s Tracy Jopek, who lost her older son in Iraq
2)Gambler's Chit
A heavy disk worn smooth by rubbing on both faces
3)Hanuman
The Hindu god symbolises strength, tenacity and loyalty
4)Madonna
Given to Obama by an elderly Hispanic woman
5)Silver Charm
A handmade Braille coin that reads "a little bit of luck"
(adapted from Times magazine)

Everyone should go grab the latest copy of times magazine! This copy is really really interesting! There's also the section on "10 People Who Mattered 2008" and there's a whole load of photos in there of which some are really heart wrenching as they portrayed the faces of 2008 really well. Tears instantly welled up and like a running tap, just flowed continuously after I saw the photos.
