SlumDog and Valkyrie

I watched Slumdog Millionaire and Valkyrie this week. I enjoyed the Slumdog Millionaire at the beginning until I started to get bored at the 100 minutes mark. It is too draggy and I felt that the love story was irrelevant. I preferred Valkyrie instead, though it was not fantastic. It was based on a real life story happened in World War II. I would prefer it if it was a German movie. It just seemed weird to listen to "Germans" speaking English in a World War II plot. That is why I like "The Lives of Others". It is a great German movie. I can't wait to watch the Japanese movie "Departures", which won Best Foreign Film Academy award this year.

Bourne Trilogy

I watched "The Bourne Ultimatum" two times over one weekend on cable. I had watched it in a theatre when it first came out. Then, I did not pay attention to the music. After this weekend, I can't get this Moby track out of my mind.

Resolution update

Darn..i did not follow through with my resolutions. Here's my update:
1) Exercise at least 3 times per week -> to keep my weight below 60kg, preferably below 55kg

Only once a week. sigh. at least i exercise once. hope to increase my frequency to twice.

2) Finish at least one novel per month

Should be no problem. I am going to finish one graphic novel

3) Eat breakfast daily

I do eat daily but not the heathly typical breakfast. I will try to start having cereal or bread everyday.

4) To use my DSLR at least once a week

i still need to work on this. I used it for CNY which was a good photo taking opportunity.

5) To watch one dvd which i bought and have not watched per month.

This is stil pending. I still have five more days.

Happy New Year to myself....my first year in my 30s and now the customary resolution list, which i failed to follow through for the past few years..

2) Finish at least one novel per month
3) Eat breakfast daily
4) To use my DSLR at least once a week
