Happy belated Chinese New Year! Well, it's still actually Chinese New Year (third day to be exact) and it will be for another 12 days more, but it's not the first day. It is however, my first day back in office. Phew! That's a lot of work I have.



During the CNY break, I watched a lot of movies. I watched No Country for Old Men (blergh, and I really really think I've watched it before, but I don't remember when or where. Not in the cinema though), Ironman (a rewatch. I felt vindicated when my mom said she liked it) and The Lake House. I actually started watching it for the house (it won an architectural award!) but the house, of all things, wasn't featured much in the show. The house was more of a plot point than an actual place. I'd wanted to see people living in its rooms but that somehow didn't happen. I also thought the romance was a bit contrived, and the plot twist was a little beyond my stretch of imagination.



I did however get a lot of inspiration from the mentions of Persuasion by Jane Austen in the book, and how that story inspired the Lake House story. It makes me want to write something about waiting for the right time.
