the challenge continues...

the challenge continues....

1. still working relatively long hours
2. still could not catch any soap opera on tv
3. still could not pick up a book and have some bedtime readings
4. still could not read through all of the magazines i have bought since feb
5. still wakes up at 4am and falls asleep at 5am

where did all my time go? i could not believe that it all went to work, eat, sleep and procrastination...

saw 2 movies today ... very tiring indeed

a. tokyo sonata - a bittersweet movie about japanese family, quite perfect timing to watch this during the global economic crisis

b. watchmen - the long awaited movie to be watched in an imax theatre....but expectations always tag with disappointment....i would highly recommend the graphic novel...the movie did not do any justice to the craft and brain of the original work
however, the soundtrack is quite fun - back to the 80s' best compilation yo!

interests of the day:
freakanomics - if public libraries didn't exist, could you start one today?

new donut hotel in mongolia

Ordos Hilton Hotel by VMX Architects





interesting choice of colors....krispy kreme in mongolia? btw, it's a hilton hotel!

music of the day (while cramping my studies...):

ratatat - classics
iron and wine - the shepard's dog
lamb - what sound
