Exam? Checked. Next!

Right!

So PH3108 Quality Assurance module is now done and dusted.

Looking back, the paper was fine, with no shocking surprises in store for us although I wish I had answered some of them better. Oh well, guess I need to do some more thorough preparation the next time!

Watched Prime with Sola in the evening as a reward for thyself after labouring for so many days over good laboratory practice, SOP, audit, ICH GCP yada yada yada...*yawn*

Oh dear God. That movie was a drone!

Originally thought the cast was a good reflection of the quality of the movie/script but no! Not even a solid Meryl Streep or fascinating Uma Thurman could save it (the latter was the reason why I borrowed it in the first place).

It tells a tale of a 37 yr old divorcee (Thurman) who dated a 23 yr old hunk (er, brain ran out of synonyms for handsome man I'm afraid) who turned out to be her therapist's (Streep) son. Streep played a neurotic, I-sometimes-don't-know-what-I'm-talking-about psychotherapist who encouraged Thurman to go for it when she first told her of this young guy she's seeing.

"So what if he's younger than you, you're both clearly at your sexual prime!"

Haha, good one, except of course she didn't know it was David her son that Rafi was dating. "Stop them? Let them be? But he's my son, and she's my client!" She eventually let the relationship take its course and just when you start to think ah, end of story, fairy tale ending, the couple fell out because of inevitable differences that stemmed from their wanting different things in life.

Er, at least that's what I thought happened...well, you can't exactly blame me for not following an aimless movie!

Can someone please remind me not to heed the critics the next time...

Hello Eunice! Hope ur keeping well...

I thought it was a good and original idea that Prime had tackled (ie the age-related issue) in this glossed over genre of rom-coms, which in itself is very commendable...but the directing was bad lah...draggy and not very smooth...oh well, just an opinion of some fussy and ironic person that is moi!
