my new year so far....

so 2 weeks into the new year and nothing much has changed on my end. i have been reading a whole lot more. salon.com is still as good as i remembered it. i've quit hsx.com....left with 2.8 million. it would've been more if indiana jones 4 just halted productions. i do feel unproductive...sorta like a bum. thinking of subscribing to a publication. off the edge...readers digest...time magazine?

Oscar nominees should be coming out soon. the new year is always a season for film and tv. 24 is set to premier today. the L word season 4 started last week. prison break is on a break and so is heroes but they'll be returning at the end of the month. not really a Lost fan so no real loss (no pun intended) that they're on hold till next month. the one i miss the most is Gilmore Girls. i've always loved the show. witty dialogue...twilight zone like town...fun characters. golden globes is on this week and its always a prelude to the oscars. you'll pretty much know who'll be nominated and who'll be walking home with that gold thing after the golden globes. i'm so disappointed that the prestige is not being recognized for anything. it is by far one of the best movies of this century....but that's just my opinion. ask anyone and they'll say that my taste in movies and music is a tad strange.






this is a random picture from sitiawan. this is the Ling ancestral home. its where my grandparents lived. not very tastefully designed but i guess for historical purposes its been left as is...with minor paint jobs being done occasionally. it's pretty surreal...to visit my hometown and learn about my grandparents and greatgrandparents and to see where they lived. i've never met them...i've only seen pictures. it was good that i had the opportunity to find out the story behind those pictures. but that was the only plus point about the reunion. i still don't like being judged based on the clothes i wear...my job...my interest and more importantly...my faith.
