HOCUS POCUS

what did you choose, what do you get….

Filed under: story, review

When I look back to the past, even though I know that I should not look back to the past coz it will change nothing, it makes me re-consider some others career path that I possibly had taken, but I was not.

I am just watching “A Few Good Men”, a film produced in 1992 with Tom Cruise and Demi Moore as a leading role. I felt that I have watched this movie few years back in TV, but re-watch it is worth all the time that I spent. From the actor and the actress itself, this film is indeed attracting. Demi Moore was damn hot and Tom Cruise was not as hateful as he is now. Other than that, the story was quite interesting even though the script was not really well written, in my opinion. Jack Nicholson did a great job to present a fanatical, proud and shallow minded marine colonel which is honestly, I am familiar with… you get may point, rite? emoticon

The thing that attracted me to watch this movie was the career that I identified as one of my career path that I possibly had taken, to be a lawyer. I think that I have anything needed to be a lawyer. Talking and arguing is the things that I love the most. I do like to analyze a case, make a hypothesis, then try to prove it. Trying to read people mind and behavior, and see hidden things inside their mind are something that I do almost everyday. Last, but the ultimate quality that I have is my ability to investigate people, to know what they intend to do, and sometimes know their secret then gossiping it… emoticon the last point is indeed a gossip. emoticon

I also think that I have the natural passion to be a lawyer, or at least involve in a crime world, not as a criminal of course, ever since I was a kid. My favorite TV series in my early year of primary school is Detective O’Hara, with Pat Morita as Lt. O’Hara. There was lots of crime scene on that series and also inside court scene when he tried to provide evidence of a crime. Furthermore, Agatha Christie novel is my favorite reading. My sister and I even put our money together to buy the novel. Most of the people will choose Hercule Poirot as their favorite character, but my favorite character is Miss Marple. I do admire this granny ability to read people mind to solve the cases

In my Junior High, the next TV series related to lawyer life that I liked was Ally McBeal. It is quite embarrassing to admit it, but she was my dream girl…emoticon but I could not continue to watch this series right after Junior High, coz my high school did not give me a chance to watch it. I think that was the point where I did not even consider lawyer as my career choice anymore, coz my mind was shifted to something else. Science was my priority in High School, although I also got some social module like economics and sociology, and I did like it, but I just did not get a chance to learn those module more intense. The worst thing was that I was in a semi military kind of life. military, absolutely, the last profession that I ever consider as my career, or even I do not consider it… emoticon

And now, I am here, in my road to be an Electronic Engineer. I don’t know whether it is the best choice or not, but it is the path that I have to be through, and hopefully it is the best for me. Even though that I am sometimes in suffer, but maybe, let say if I was in law school rite now, I would be more in suffer. It is funny when I look back to the past and see that everything that I have now is far from what I thought it would be, but again, it’s life… just make the best of this test and don’t ask why, green day said…
