I worked all weekend

I worked all weekend. I love what I do most of the time, but in retrospect, my work life is like this...

but this is how I feel...

I love having a job. I love really cool water slides and wine more...

When the road forks

I have been neglectful of you, dear blog.

Once upon a time, I was a filmmaker. I did everything there was to do in film; direct, edit, write, locations, casting... I fell in love with film when I first found myself on set. I was 18 and thrilled by the organised chaos. I loved shoot but didn't love films like my peers at film school did. I won some awards, but never thought my films were that great. Bleary eyed and 28, I found myself in Malaysian TV. Not a pretty place. I said one night, to myself, "I'm going to find a new job that I like." within a couple of weeks, I got an offer from advertising.

So last week, I took a small part in a TV drama. It was a really interesting experience; I broke my routine, met some new people, learnt some stuff and enjoyed it when I found myself acting quite well. By the end of the three days on set, I left happy and very decided that I don't want to be in film anymore.

Hooray! It's great to decide.

I prefer corporate etiquette. I enjoy strategising.

But I'm not strategising at my current job. Hmmmmm. I do at my night job, and it's so much fun. I'm working on rectifying this. A new career change is in order and there is no shortage of opportunities.
