was lamenting (again) to the husband during the weekend how shitty my job is when it suddenly dawned upon me that every last bit of drive in work that i ever have is snuffed out. or is that really the case? though many and even i, myself believed that im every bit of the slacker i proclaimed to be, but there were times i actually work hard & derive job satisfaction from my audit days. i even have to concur with hubbi to make sure i wasnt dreaming up all these. it was true that i will "on" my lappy & start doing work on a saturday for stretch of hours till the husband got impatient and asked me to stop working. despite always reaching for work late, i was up in the morning by 7+ to start doing work back then. and i remember vividly the light-headed feeling i have whenever i completed some sections of audit work/meeting the deadlines in advance!
but over here, i dont feel any of the above at all! i'm not sure if this is the job's doing or im the let one letting the job get to me.
sometimes when i look around, i saw my driven friends working hard at their career (as opposed to my "job") & i feel like i should be doing the same thing too.
we are only young once and there is no better time than now to work hard & see how far you can go/achieve.
*hmmmm* but on second thoughts, maybe my drive is not meant to be used in work but in other areas i guess. anyway, i may/may not stay 1 more year in my current company but regardless, i hope i can find that passion (no matter how teeny weeny) back in my work!
movies (beware, spoilers ahead)
i may have started slow but im surely catching up! jan is always a busy month for me in terms of movie-watching. with the oscars & golden globes coming up soon, there are heaps of good movies hitting our silver screen.
so i've caught 2 movies over the weekend (yes, 2 in 2 days) with the hubbi in agony.
1) Blood Diamond
the movie is a blast! it has action,drama,comedy,romance all rolled into one helluva show! and leonardo is getting very good at what he is doing - acting! i'm shamelessly in love with him! anyway he was nominated for golden globe best actor award for not one, but TWO of his movies this year! for both blood diamond & the departed. he was wayyy better in blood diamond! i hope he can nab that award for its finally his time to do so! i have seen him from "what's eating gilbert grapes" till now and he never fail to amaze me!
2) Pan's Labyrinth
the movie is a sorta letdown for my expectations. but maybe i expected wrongly and missed the whole point of the show. i guess if you go into the theatre knowing nuts about the whole show, then perhaps it will be a good one. well, the fairy land in the show is nothing like the one we know from disney. it was dark, sinister & violent. but maybe there's no fairy tales after all (the cynic in me speaks!), and the pan's labyrinth in the show is just an alternate reality for ... reality. ha.
and i have enough of endings where the leads die! why should they die! why should they die!
yes, leo & the little girl both die!!! why, oh why!?
bleh.
anyway im looking forward to a few more films (which hopefully live up to my expectations) this mth! i should be watching "the king" tomorrow & "babel" when it is released on 25th jan!
and anyone got any suggestions on what shows i should catch as well?
the weekend
weekend is slow and nice with hubbi. we went window shopping on both days at orchard since we were in town to catch movies. anyway, i should be getting vouchers ($500!!) from my company and i've opted $400 in the form of isetan vouchers! so did some window shopping there to select the things that im gonna grab once i got the vouchers in early feb. hehe.
really hope its in time for my CNY shopping. *fingers crossed*
trivia: we went to ding tai feng for dinner yesterday & noticed that it doesnt have an english name like crystal jade. just ding-tai-feng. lolz. very mad.
waiting for our food to be served!
i prefer crystal jade's xiao long bao though!
