Prada

after the jam session, I met up with 2 sisters in Christ of mine to have dinner.

it was really a good time of catching up. talked about everything from teaching (cos my friend's a teacher and she was talking about how the new generation thinks and learns), to the "Tipping Point" (a book which I really recommend everyone who's interested in marketing and just basic human pyschology to read) and of course Koraen dramas :) or just korean drama (Samsoon!)

right... anyway, on a whim of fancy, we just decided to go catch "the Devil wears Prada"

I must say, it must be the best show I've watched so far this year.

It's been a long... loooooong... time, since I've watched a show with intelligent dialogue and a storyline that though pretty much linear, leaves you thinking about the decisions you make in your life. Strangely, within one week, I've caught 2 movies that dealt with similar issues about balancing between your work life and relationships (the other was Click) Is God trying to tell me something or is it just pure movie scheduling on the part of cinema companies... ? fine line between the divine and the mundane...

But i would definitely recommend this show to my gal pals and all the girls out there, cos it is covered with branded bags, shoes, clothes, make-ups and numerous beautifully dressed and made up women for your fashion survey.

the guys........ you should just watch it for obvious reasons...

to know your girlfriends better and to make value-added fashion comments and feedback should they require your assistance...

what were you thinking...



but the part that got my attention most was not the twist of the story at the end of the show or the glitzy super models strutting down the fashion runways. It was the part when Anne Hathaway, the said lead character in the show was given a pep talk by a colleague of hers to wake up her idea and be serious about her work.

so, do catch the show and hopefully you get the drift when you come to that part.

cheers!
