Tears
Just watched My Name Is Khan last night. Brought me to tears at many points in the show. I'm not a film critic, but that should still say volumes about the quality of the show. No, It's not some sappy love story. Well, not a typical love story anyway. It's about man's humanity, and a man's humanity. Said man's conviction and devotion to his mission were really admirable and you could really feel and understand his anguish portrayed out despite his impaired ability to express himself in the film.
Couple that with fantastic acting, well-placed bits of humour, marvellous cinematography and a haunting soundtrack, and you know this is a must watch.
By the way, it's Khan, from the epiglottis, without the hard K sound.

Adieu
Well, in about 19 hours' time, I'll be embarking on a year-long journey to Stockholm, Sweden for the NOC programme. I'll be missing sunny Singapore and braving a ~40 degrees difference in temperature. To anyone who wants to send me off, just gimme a yell for the details =P
This will be a great opportunity to explore some of Europe, and more of myself. But of course...
I'll be missing my friends. The Compclub bunch for all their geeky (and more often than not, wrong) nonsense, my NUStyle buddies for the close support we've lent each other, and various other wonderful individuals. I'm thankful that I got to spend some cherished time with many friends during the holidays.
I'll be missing my whole family, for their support and all the chatter.
And I'll be missing home.
