two good movies
1) My Girl (1991)
- This movie is basically about the emotional awakening of a young girl in a small Pennsylvania town during the summer of 1972. Anna Chlumsky plays eleven-year-old Vada, a quiet child living with her widowed father Harry Dultenfuss (Dan Aykroyd), a local mortician who prepares bodies in his basement. Vada feels responsible for the death of her mother, who died giving birth to her, and lives in an emotional cocoon, her only friend being a personable local boy, Thomas J. Sennett (Macauly Culkin), who suffers from allergies. Like Vada, Harry keeps to himself, until a freelance make-up artist, Shelly DeVoto (Jamie Lee Curtis), comes to town and gets a job working with Harry. Shelly and Harry fall in love and Vada feels threatened by her presence. But then a personal tragedy forces Vada to come out of her emotional shell. The story deals with love, friendship, honesty, jealousy, puberty and death.
(Sad that I didn't catch My Girl 2)
2) Take the lead (2006)
- This movie is about Pierre Dulaine (Antonio Banderas), an inspirational Manhattan dance teacher and competitor. Pierre volunteers his time to teach ballroom dancing to a diverse group of New York inner-city high school students serving detention. The students are initially skeptical of Dulaine, especially when they learn what he's there to teach them, but his unwavering commitment and dedication slowly inspire them to embrace his program. In fact, they even take it one step further and combine Dulaine's classical dance with their unique hip-hop style and music to create a high-energy, unique fusion. As Dulaine becomes a mentor for his students, many of whom haven't had much to strive towards in their lives, he inspires them to hone their craft for a prestigious city ballroom competition, and in return they share with each other valuable lessons about pride, respect and honor. Inspired by a true story.

i went for one decent interview
the recruitment agency addecco gave me a call informing me that there was a vacancy for assistant engineer for 3 months at somewhere so near my house. yes, imagine i reach home in amazingly 10 mins. that's something so wonderful. and i was like okay.
got the necessary stuffs done, got myself dressed up in a formal tip top condition and headed down to the interview at my prospective workplace. just in case, i brought an umbrella. can u imagine the rain these few days. TERRIBLE i tell u.
so when i reached the vicinity of the location, i some what missed my stop and had to walk back. grr. when i reached the entrance of the place, i had no clue in how to get in. Apparently the gates have this security device which only certain pass usage will let u in.
gave my recuitment agency a call and told the matter. he gave me the interviewer's number and she directed me through the back of the building. I had to walk one whole round after 2 or 3 blocks of officers and had to return to the other side. so compliacted. can't they just allow the door at the front to be functional! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
okay the interview went well. the interviewer gave me 2 job positions. i could choose from assistant engineer to assistant quality manager. Upon speaking to the engineers and knowing more about the job scope, i kinda dislike the engineer job because i had to do alot of examining the designs in 2D and 3D. definitely not something i would like nor am i familiar with. the quality side seems more like what RP taught me. Even though both jobs are administrative, for the reccord i hate admin jobs, i wanted to give the engineering feel a try.
hmm well. i am waiting for the company to call back. she said she will call in a few days time and work will start on monday.
let's see how it goes la. =)
