This year’s New Year’s resolutions, started earlier in December 2013 is the year that spun out of control. With an elderly, mother whose dementia rose above sanity, old friends who never made it through the year and the ghosts of those who never walked out of 1969.

The Hollywood movie “Guess Who” (2005) is a remake of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” (1967). Both film’s premises are about the same situation of an interracial marriage.

Being the foreigner I am, I guess it would probably be normal. For me who longed to see white snow falling down the sky, it was bliss. I guess that winter wonderland wasn't too far fetched.
