It's movies weekend. Saw Labyrinth, that 80's film with David Bowie and a very young Jennifer Connelly. The film brings back memories for me as I watched it when I was young, not knowing what the hell was going on and not being able to understand the plot and stuff but I still watched it because it was a Jim Henson film. To me in those days, anything Jim Henson is a good thing. Yes, I was a huge Muppets fan. I'm still am by the way. But back to the film, it's decent. David Bowie totally vamps it up with his fright wig and make-up. He looks more like a 70's glam rock star than a Goblin King. And the music, oh the cheesy music score for the film. I actually have the soundtrack on cassette believe it or not. The only good thing about the music is when David Bowie is singing it. Other than that, cheesy 80's synth score. Blame it on Miami Vice. The plot? What plot? Hahaha.

Lilo and Stich. Love it. Cute, very cute. Not too preachy, not too cutesy. But still a good animated movie so far this year. Now, I didn't really enjoy the experience 100%, mainly because parents decided to bring their little kids to the movie. Yes, this is a movie for kids but if you have to bring your kids, please tell them to shut up for the entire movie. Any kids under 5 should be ban from the movie theater. These kids do not know anything about a movie. Infact they don't give a shit. Kids below five can't sit still for more than 5 minutes. It's a fact and you know it. Trust me, I was one of them. I was a huge pain to my parents when they wanted to see movies. How they solve the problem? They never took me to another theater anymore until I was like 6 or 7.

My e-mail: miserablism1@yahoo.com, I love getting e-mails hehe. I'm still trying to see if I can add my e-mail link on this page and also some links to other blogs. Not sure if this template will do it. Gotta see what I can do.

Pulp Fiction. Finally saw it after years of hype from friends. Hmmm. It's good. It's offbeat. But I don't know if it is worth the attention it got. I like the idea that all the stories are somehow connected together but for some reason this movie didn't really do it that well. I do like Christopher Walken short lil scene. The most hilarious scene ever.

Minority Report. This is one of Spielberg best movie to date. The special effects are just completely awesome. This is how A.I. should have been. Completely. There are definitely Kubrikian moments in the film. The action is just great. The plot is interesting and I love the twists. Tom is at his usual best. How he acts in every other film, he acts the same here. Not that it's a bad thing. But he is eye candy to look at hahaha. This film is a must. Recommended

Well, my mind is made up. After being unemployed for almost 6 months and having to see your savings depreciate right before your very eyes, I've decided to move back to Malaysia. After 5 years here in Miami which I consider as "home". But now I'm going to another "home". It's a huge financial burden for me to keep living here without any income coming in. And since I can't get a job that pays well, forget it then. Yeah sure, I could be a server at the local Cheesecake Factory (wonderful food!) and work at the Gap at the same time. But why go through all this trouble to just earn barely enough to pay for rent and bills and at the end ending up without savings. Is that worth it?

So yeah, it is time to go home to your "motherland"!! I'm actually pretty excited, seeing my family, friends, seeing what has changed over the years and eating the good food. I must gain some extra pounds since I lost most of it after I graduated-the effects of being poor and unemployed. Parents know about it and are making plans as we speak.

The more I talk about going back to Malaysia, the more I feel that this the best solution for me now. At hard times like these, you need family. And who says I can't come back here to the States? You never know what you can say about the future. Hell, I might just go to Australia or Europe.

Will I miss Miami? Yes I will definitely. I've many experiences here. Bad, good, funny and so on. It's not my favorite city in the world nor I don't hate anything much about it but it's where I went to college (Go 'Canes!) and learn a lot about life and myself. I'm grateful. I definitely will miss my friends but since most of my friends are either gone or will leave, it's time to move on with my life.

Big up to Terry. Thanks for helping me out. Hope you are satisfied with the asian delight!

Okay. Where do I begin? Other than the fact that I'm an unemployed college graduate (6 months and counting!), you guys dunno much about me. Hmm. Let give you the short 411 on me. Male. 20 something. Sexually open to any gender-at this point in my life. Asian. Originally from Malaysia but been living in Miami for about 5 years. So there you go. Any other questions, you know my e-mail. :)

This whole year has been some sort of a bumpy ride. Financially. Mentally. But mostly financially. Especially at this point. I wouldn't say it is a horrible year but it is also not that really pleasant. There were some highlights I have to say but overall it has been a struggle. I'm at this point in my life where I am ready for a change. Just give me a clear road to follow. I'm pretty sick of having to plan things and see them fall through. My plans to get a job earlier during the year has gone to hell. My plans to do my MBA or Masters in IE has also been shot to hell. Honestly, I don't know why I am doing here in Miami. Look for a job? Yeah but for how long can I look without having some income to survive by?

Anyway, I just had an interview with Gap and I'll know by next week if they want me or not. By then, if I don't have anything concrete in terms of jobs and I'm so financially strapped-just move in to a new place this month and haven't pay the landlady my rent and stuff!-I'm just gonna have to pack my bags and go home. I worry about the other things here later. It's been awhile since I went home. 5 bloody years. I'm sure everything has changed by then. Hell, I never even got a chance to see the tallest building in the world in it's full glory. So I guess I need to go home, get some rest and reorganize my life and see what I should do next in the comfort of my "home" and families and friends.

Everything happens for a reason. I assume. Wish I know what my bloody reason is now.

Like a virgin. Well, this is my first post. Right now I am just messing around with things, trying to make this page look "presentable". But basically this is a blog of my rantings about life and other issues around it. Muchos thanks to D, all the way from Wisconsin who introduced me to the world of blogging.

So hang on and they'll be more rantings and musings from me later on *groan*. :)
