Caught
12lotus yesterday! I don't know why I kept thinking it's a pre-quel to
881, but anyways, there isn't a link at all, save for the
getai setting and some members of the cast.
The movie's not bad, though I prefer
881..haha. More tragic elements in
12lotus and less of the glittery flamboyance which I loved in the former. Watching both movies remind me of how
getais were so much more prevalent during my childhood..I kind of miss watching them.
Was reading the papers this morning when I saw the article talking about
money no enough 2 and
12lotus' efforts at promoting the films at
getais. While both fall into the category of homegrown films with a touch of singaporean-ness at heart, somehow, I much prefer royston tan's style to jack neo's. Maybe what appeals to me is not just the everyday life of singaporeans spelt out on big screen, with jokes and dialect thrown in. I guess royston tan made the right choice to use a
getai setting. Something we don't often see, and a scene which plays out in the heartlands once a year. Yet, it's becoming so much more digitalised and modern, as compared to 10 over years ago. Then again, this is purely my personal opinion la. What appeals to me, I guess.
And I think mindee ong looks pretty good as a
getai peformer! Credit goes to her costumes as well, but I just love the whole ensemble. Haha.
Sang ktv for the upteenth time in weeks yesterday! But I never seem to learn any new songs. Just keep singing the same old songs..haha. Still, it's fun! And I got a call in the middle of ktv-ing, asking me to go for an interview on monday la. Omgoshh I can just imagine the reaction of the lady on the other end of the line. Calling up an interview candidate, only to hear ultra loud singing and music in the background. Oops.
Need to do company research this weekend again..ohmans. I hate going for interviews! And I'm not even really sure what's the role of the position I applied for. Yikes. I just apply apply apply and..wait for phonecall. >_<
Started my day with a reminder to live my life in a way that's full of life. I think I'm literally quoting. Haha. But it was a timely message which caught my attention..all along I've advocated the quote
dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today. I still believe in it, but to be honest, I'm not living everyday like it's my last.
What I know, though, is that life is really much too short to have regrets. And I seriously suspect, my lifespan isn't going to be very long. Haha. More than one person, professional or otherwise, have basically spelt out the bottomline that my life is pretty much going to be filled with trials and tribulations. Regardless of whether I believe in such things or not, I take whatever I hear with a pinch of salt. Anything's possible, after all.
And yeah..how true it is that it takes courage to turn our sufferings into hope. I have alot more to learn it seems..just knowing the theory isn't going to be enough.
Thankyouu for starting my day with that very insightful and inspirational message! =)Anyhows! Going to the careerfair later with my darlings, then it's dinner with them! Yippeeee. I've been having so many gatherings and meetups that I think I've more than made up for all the times I was too busy to go out with my friends. Lol. But it just never seems enough! Only problem is, everyone thinks I'm happily slacking my life away and not intending to jobhunt.
Irritating can! Most irritating is when your own mum thinks the worst of you at every turn. Arghh.
But I'm used to it la. And so is cheryl, it seems. She woke up full of annoyance this morning and promptly started "abusing" my ears with all her grumbles about..
ahem. Can't say I blame her..for someone of her character, to be forced to do things against her will must really suck. But who can I side la..one's my mum, the other's my sister, I'm caught in between as usual. And I'm always the one tasked with nagging the sister. Do I look like my occupation is a nagger. Wahlau.
I seriously think I should consider a job as a negiotiater. And I know how to use tact. After years of practice, I'm honing my skills more and more.
Okay la that's crap. Haha. Just take one day at a time and see how things go..maybe monday's interview will change my life! Lol. At any rate, I'm keeping to my life's motto(s).
And so ends this extremely long blogpost. Time for lunch!
I was never the peacemaker; you were. But I'll try cos' I know that's what you'd want.
