Synopsis:
Andrea Sachs, a girl who knew nothing about fashion, landed herself a job as Miranda Priestley's junior assistant. With a resume of working for her for a year, Andrea was told that she could get any job she wants in the publishing industry. Andrea wanted to work for the New Yorker, hence she endured whatever ridiculous and seemingly unreasonable and impossible-to-accomplish demands the editor-in-chief threw at her.

She dealt with a lot of impossible tasks and fashionistas during her job there. Without herself knowing, her perspective towards fashion begins to change, too. When she is too busy to have a lunch, she thought to herself "it's ok to skip one meal, a $2,000 pair of jeans doesn't look good on a fat girl anyway".

She began to put herself completely into the job, always answering the call whenever the phone rings; and began to ignore her family and friends. She has not seen her parents for months, she never visited her infant nephew, she ignored the struggles her best friend Lily is going through and most of all, she has troubles with her boyfriend.

The climax **ALERT SPOILERS* takes place during Paris Fashion Week. Where Lily got into a car accident and deemed herself in a comatose state. An-dre-ah was pressured by her family and Alex to go home, but Andrea knows this would mean giving up the 11 months of hardship she suffered and risked getting Miranda mad.

After Miranda praised Andy for reminding her as "her younger self for the dedication she put in", Andrea began to doubt the meaning of the job. (which I personally find this unacceptable and ridiculous). In the end Andrea disregard orders Miranda gave her and book a flight home, not to mention to ask Miranda to "go fuck herself" in the process.

Story ends with Andrea going back to Elias Clark building for a job interview and sees a young girl who dressed beautifully and holding up bunch of starbucks. The poor girl's phone rings and she looks like she is about to cry. Andrea realised the girl is her replacement, and she smiled to the security guard and walked into the elevator.

What you should do?

After growing increasingly frustrated over my laptop sleeve, which doesn't fit no matter I how i push my laptop in, i gave up finally!

My rm28 just flew like that!! So being very "emo" , I decided to find something exciting to do, or just to lash out on something. Look around the house and that jackjack was giving me the innocent doggie eyes.

Then i thought of bringing jackjack out for a walk lor since I'm still grieving over my laptop sleeve and he is bored. So why not? is a mutual thing right!


And so, the unraveling of the adventure begins. Me being me, was casually walking *stroke left, stroke right* and jackjack paused after a few steps looking for the spot to do his business.

After a few minutes, a brown silhouette which appeared to be a four-legged creature was running towards me or jackjack, (note running! like i am a slab of meat waving at him to come and bite me) and it huge compared to jackjack lar, and from jackjack's point of view, i think is like a werewolf to him.

And jackjack got so excited he thought that is his friend of the same size which appeared to be 3 times bigger and taller than him.

FUCK !! the moment the dog came, it started to bite jackjack. For that split second, i was completely dumbfounded trying to figure out what to do!

I can't leave jackjack alone to fend for himself because obviously he's too small and short compared to that giant dog. WHAT TO DO!!!

I carried jackjack in my arms like a baby -____-" and jackjack thought is funny. completely oblivious of the danger he is in, losing his life!! and by carrying him, i put my life at stake for trying to fight back a big dog with another dog in my hand
What should i do?

1. RUN!!! which is the deadliest move. You and I also got learn lah, JANGAN LARI APABILA DIKEJAR ANJING. So if i run competing with a four-legged creature, i will definitely lose! and probably agitate him more. (no to this)
   
   
2. Give jackjack up and run for my life. i will never do this because i not a coward can't imagine going back later to scoop up jackjack's dead body or jackjack comes back haunting me at night in my dreams. (no to this)
   
   
3. Some good Samaritan comes out and lend me a hand, but after yelling the dog to back off for 5 minutes, nobody came to my rescue. FML. (no one came)

And I decided to stay put, and keep twirling in circles like i'm dancing with jackjack , so the stupid dog will go away but to no avail :(

is either the dog is gay (if is male) or being really horny cause jackjack is so appealing!

The dog kept pouncing on me, and wanna grab jackjack!!how i wish i have wings and just fly off , hoping that jackjack will poop some shit on the dogs face but that's not the truth.

Then suddenly, my neighbor's door cracked open, and a swanky sexy vampire rushed out to my rescue, throwing the dog off a few metres away and took me with her in the speed of light an old lady came out -___-"

Seeing me being attacked by the dog, I've to ask her to let myself into her house instead of her offering me to take shelter in her house. WTF. And I went into her house with a triumph face.

Stupid loser dog. I win you lose. *sticking tongue out*

p/s: jackjack is a daschund or what we usually call, a hotdog! a short, long, black-coated dog. and jackjack still thinks he is hero because he didn't show any sign of fear.
