Movie " CLICK "


Synopsis

Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all but his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), is increasingly frustrated by the amount of time he has to spend at work. Michael cannot find time to be at home until he meets an eccentric inventor (Christopher Walken) who gives him a universal remote that controls time. At first he happily skips the boring times until he realizes the remote is in control of his life and he learns to cherish all the precious moments with his family.

Official Trailer



What we learn from that movie

1. Family First, Work Second

From that movie, the husband has wrong priority from the beginning. He's in the rat race to chase the promotion to be in the highest rank in the company. His noble excuse is he doesn't want his family to suffer and enjoy a happy life but in the end he lost more than what he gains
Work is important, being responsible in the workplace is a good virtue but don't let work become our first priority because even though it may be gone anytime and we still can get it back but once our family is gone, we only left with regrets.

2. Cherish all the precious moments

In that movie, he made use of the "powerful Remote" and skipped those "boring" life.
When his parents came to have dinner, he was in autopilot and skipped all those moments until in the end his daddy died without him on his daddy's last breath. 
In this fast pace world where we are living, we tend to forget to give thanks and pause for awhile, and enjoy the moments. We always worry about tomorrow and future and forget to live in the present.
Well as famous quote said, we don't know what tomorrow brings, so keep calm and enjoy the present.

3. There's no instant formula

From that movie, he wants to climb the rank fast, and he's dying to use any instrument to get him there. Yes, finally he got it there but there's always payback time.
In this new age where everything is expected to be solved instantly, there's a danger into it.
We love to use short cut to get what we want. In the end, we may need to payback what we have done to achieve our goals

4. Sex meant to be enjoyed by both

I know this is the typical couple problem. When the husband achieve the climax and left the wife behind unsatisfied
From that move, it reminds us that sex meant to be enjoyed by husband and wife and not making wife just another object of pleasure.

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral ...

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that  I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat...
