When things don't seem right
I have been a movie buff since Form 6. Think Jo passed me the virus. We went after school (and once during school) to watch movies and once bumped into our class teacher, Mrs Ng. She is classic. Oh how much I miss her. Anyway, back to the topic, I love all types of movies, okay, almost all... but the ones I love most are definitely the highly inpirational type. They are stereotypical in terms that in the beginning, the characters struggle hard, but they triumph in the end.
I think I can identify with the characters. So often nothing seems to go right. I try so hard yet nothing improves. Worse, people think I am lazy (that is true to some extent) and I am learning to change. I really am trying. So that is why I always feel better after watching a good movie. I know I can triumph in the end. Circumstances may prolong but ultimately things will turn out for good.
Ratatouille - Remy got my sympathies when he realised how humans disgusted rats. That pitiful look when while overhearing the statements of a woman in the drain. But Remy, being a rat, was able to cook.
Pursuit of Happyness - "If you want it, go get it." Heard that? The inability to get a job as a chemist has really discouraged me that I want to give up all together. People tell me, "Why are you so stubborn? Why can't you settle with your current job?" When you don't like something, you tend to find a lot of reasons to say that it is not good.
It's true. I don't like the fact that it's a 5 and a half day week. I have claustrophobia. I don't like the job scope but ultimately, it is not my dream. I can't see myself doing this for the rest of my life. And being in this job for long will mean that I no longer can be a chemist. I wanna start fresh. It's my passion. You can never go wrong when you are doing something according to your passion.
Being a chemist means that I will have to give up on a lot of things. I give up the opportunity to meet people (I'll be stuck in the lab). I don't have the chance to wear nice clothes (who can see them under the lab coat anyway) and I risk being contaminated with chemicals. So why do I insist being a chemist?
Somehow, I have been so accustomed to scientific terms that they appeal to me. Words like pharmacology, pharmacokinetics seem to be more interesting than ...And time in the lab flies like a wind.
Fight the Giants - A Christian production that talks about the literal Highland Giants and figuratively the giants in our lives. The story line was kind of expected but hey, who doesn't like a football game. The main theme of the movie is nothing is impossible with God. Yes it is all possible.
