Touchdown in the City of Angels.

Five in-flight movies later, I finally touched down in LA.

Quantum of Solace - 2 outta 5. What is that show about again? ... that everyone Bond touches dies?
Australia - 4 outta 5. I like the theme of the show. The Walkabout, the Dreaming, reminded me of the secondary one Literature text.
Suspect X - 3.5 outta 5. I like the part when geniuses put their wits and logic against each other. The physicist vs the mathematician. And emotions can be used logically.
A Good Year - 4 outta 5. Two words, French Romance. I just love this sorta thing. hee hee.
Departures - 4 outta 5. Sorry dear, I watched it already. But I think they won't be showing it by the time I get back. Not sure if you should watch because you'll be crying like a fountain for sure. This movie unveiled the unique aspect of death in Japan.

SoCal is awakening from deep cold on the first day of Spring. The weather is just nice, minus the wind. First stop was Target, to get the necessities. I also got myself a mini indulgence. :-)


Btw, LA is 15 hours behind SG time (due to DST). So we gotta go get some dinner now. Hopefully, we'll get to check out some parts of LA before traveling to Palm Spring tomorrow.

Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
