living the world of hers; contradictions

I just realised...

Feeling: stuffed up, warm (yes, it's rather hot tonight) and
Playing: nothing
Location: LA, Fullerton, Avolencia

I just realised... That I am turning twenty-one years old this coming June 29th. OMGooseness! I am excited and thrilled!

Anyway, I just caught this on DVD. Pretty good I say.


Well here's a little bit of what it is..

For 28-year-old New Yorker Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, life is a juggling act between a promising career as a surgeon and her responsibilities as a dutiful daughter. Like the #7 train she takes to visit her Chinese family on a weekly basis, Wil is perpetually in transit between two worlds. The expectations of Flushing, Queens society she is from and the desires that alienate her from it have made Wil content to live below the surface--even if it means playing an inadvertent game of charades with her widowed mother and the world Ma represents. The masquerade is comic even in its pain as Wil tolerates Ma's weekly set ups with eligible Chinese-American boys at the Friday Chinese socials; but it quickly becomes a farce when Ma's mask cracks first. One night, Wil comes home to find Ma on her doorstep--pregnant. Disgraced by the Chinese community, and with no where else to go, Ma moves in with her daughter, making it difficult for Wil to nurture a budding relationship with gorgeous dancer Vivian. As her carefully compartmentalized worlds collide, Wil is forced to find her mother a husband, placate her girlfriend, and choose between breaking a cycle of keeping up appearances, or risk losing the girl she loves.

Makes me miss the snuggling time with Kris. Awww.... Oh well, just need to tahan for another three more days and I will be back in his smelly and sweaty arms. Hee..

Seriously, I don't know if I will be able to survive the weather back in Singapore or not.. It was about 20°C the whole day and I was complaining that it's warm. Argh... How?! Will I melt in Singapore?

Enough crap. I am going to bed. Going out tomorrow to see whatever is left of LA. Anyway, I will be back again in LA in summer, I am sure! I still haven't go to Disney.. hiak hiak...
