This is a fashion movie. Most of the clothes worn by the cast are not found in Singapore I guess. All down to the reason of the one and only summer season in Singapore.

I quite like the way Miranda throws her bags and jackets on Andy's table where she's suppose to hang them orderly in the wardrobe. Haha! That kind of power she has over her assistant and her colleagues. She has all the power in the fashion industry!

Towards the end, though Anne succeed in accomplishing the tasks assigned by Miranda, be it running errands or even impossible missions of getting a plane or getting the first copy of the latest Harry Potter, she realised that she shouldn't keep the job. That's not the direction she wants to head in her life. She backed off and starts her career all over again.

This sets me pondering about my own life. The decisions that I've made for my future. Would these be fruitful or all but just a dream? And I'd love to stay in Europe, especially Paris in the future, for a short-term. I just love the way it looks and the culture they have there. So I must brush up my French and continue learning it just for that day to happen!

Grade: 3/5 stars
