Week 18 - My cousin came to visit

This week my cousin came to visit and she was a delight. I decided to make a change next month and hopefully it won't have dire consenquences and wife is recovering form her tummy issue. Bringing cousin around is fun since the kids love her and she gets along well with them. I haven't been cooking at all since she got here. Also I gave the ring to my wife. She is really happy and that ring is really beautiful

 •  We suddenly found that pickachu was walking towards us. H2 was too excited and we went to get a picture with him and some Pokopia merch

 •  Came back close to 9 and I watch a movie before going to sleep.

Apr 28 (New Stuff) 

• This morning only did 5 classes 

• H2 has a coral speaking today and she is dressed in all black 

• I decided to make some shepherd’s pie for the girls 

• Nd came to me crying because her father took the money that was supposed to be for her treatment. That means I have to find another 8k to give her. Had a fight knowing that she is not being honest with me. I think this will be the last I’ll help her for now. I think I want to keep a certain distance after this. 

• Pick up cleaners 

• Wife wanted to go and celebrate our anniversary at a hotel but everything is too expensive because it’s last minute. Finally we settled on something close by 

• Gave all my gifts to wife. She got a cat earbuds (with purring sound), limited edition Harry Potter playing cards, a bookstore gift card and Pandora 

• Went to the mall to eat at the kopitiam 

• She bought me a Garmin Vivoactive 5 smartwatch. Loving it so far 

• Came home had a shower and I went to bed 

Apr 29 (Memorable) 

• Today is an off day for me so I didn't do any classes which sucks since I have a schedule to keep but it is okay. I will cover it back later. 

• Had a good sleep and woke up around 7am to go and have breakfast as the hotel. The hotel spread was amazing. The had everything from Asian, Western, Indian and also assortments of desserts. 

• After breakfast we had back to the hotel. Rest for a while and checked out. 

• We really had no plans so we stopped to the city center to go to Lalaport. After a quick couple of hours stroll. We went and had Oiso for lunch

• I gave her the diamond ring there and she was so happy. She can't stop looking at it. 

• On our way back she told me "Any woman can easily fall in love with you" which stuck to me. I" think that is kinda true

• Stop at another mall just for ice cream befpore making it back home

• My cousin came early at 3pm. Both girls were there to great her and fed her. She had such agreat time with H2. We arrived close to 6pm and started talking.

• There were a lot of tings to talk about that I almost lost the track of time. But after 9pm I left both of them together and then went to bed. Was so exhausted. 

Apr 30

• Since H2 has no school today I need to pick up more classes. 

• After that I had to bring H2 to the dentist. My cousin tagged along and the doctor said that H2 probably needs to see a specialist. 

• After that we went to the mall with wife. We wanted to bring my cousin to the biggest mall in asia 

• We had some hot bird. H1 and her boyfriend and friend joined along. After that we went shopping

• Me and wife went to jewellery store to trade in her gold. The process took around 3 hours and she got class to 18k for the gold. She bought 3 matching identical gold chains for her and the girls. H2 and cousin went to a petting zoo in the mall

• We had dinner at Zanmai and then we went home where I did more classes

• Sister in law came back because tomorrow she promised to take the girls to the Pokemon convention.

• Did 3 more classes at night and went to bed close at 10. 

With that May has ended for me. The highlight of this month of course the anniverary and the diamond ring. The lows is my wife was not feeling well as well as my best friend who had to do an operation. I think next if my friend wants money I have to put my foot down and probably I will lose her but sometimes I think I have no choice. Sigh. Well we will see what May has to offer.

BTS World Tour Arirang Live Viewing

They really have some die hard fans 

What is it about?
After nearly 4 years of hiatus. BTS returns again with a new album as well as concert

The Good
The concert set was amazing

The crowd in the cinema was also energetic. I think besides me there was another guy there. The rest are all girls. I really don't get the obession 

The Bad
Intermission for 5 minutes because of wardrobe change. That really throws the mood of the concert for me
They really dress down after the thrid act. The last third act was just free and easy 

The Ugly
The fans I tell you

After Credits: None

Verdict: It was a great concert. But I am not a fan 

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man

Amazing retelling of the best superhero

What is it about? We all know the story about Spider-Man. This is a bit different where it mix the MCU storylines with some unexpected twist as well. 

Animation: The animation is mesmerising. It looks like a comic book where the pages jumps out and they are alive. Watching the fluid and colourful animation makes this is a treat to watch 

Heroes and Villans: Iron Man, Dr Strange, Daredevil are the heroes. Scorpion and Rhino are the villans. With Doctor Octopus, Normon Osborn and Venom are teased for the future

Season 2: A new storylines, more villains. This show has already been confrimed for Sesaon 3. So can't wait

Project Hail Mary

A thirlling ride

What is it about?
A bacteria called Astrophage is slowly eating the earth solar rays and it will make the earth goes into the ice age if they don't stop it. Hence Project Hail Mary was born 

The Good
The movie did well the explain the situation as easy as possible 
Ryan Gosling and Rocky makes up a very great team. Everytime both of them are on screen, you smile a little 
The visual are amazing since nothing was freen screen
The ending 

The Bad
Nothing much. They showed the ending but I wish we knew what happen next 

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Cerdits: No

Verdict: Movie of the year so far. A must watch  

Tracker Sesaon 2

This show is a hit and a miss 

This season: The mystery of his dad was not the main focus of this season. It was mostly a case of the day kind of situation.

Side characters: The added a new hacker named Randy but beside Renee the lawyer the rest of the cast seems forced. Having his brother and sister a cameo is always a good time

Tracking: I like forest tracking, snowy tracking but not so much city tracking. 

Cliffhanger: They try to shoehorn the cliffhanger. But we were not invested in this part of the story. 

Marvel Cosmic Invasion

A acceptable marvel beat em up

Game no: 567

Genre: Action (beat-em-up)
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: 2025

Beat em up were very popular in the 90s. In fact you will waste a lot of quaters going to the arcade by yourself or friends just to play a game where you can beat other senseless. Marvel cosmic invasion tends to give that nostalgia back by letter you play as 14 different Marvel heroes across the story that expands the entire Marvel universe. 

Let's dive in the review

Booting up this game you are treated with very beautiful pixed art. Each characters are hard drawn beautifully and their animations are very fluid in motion. The colours all pop out and there is even an effect to put a 90s crt filter to give that old school effects. As for the characters there are 15 playable characters to choose from. From fan favourites such as Wolverine, Captain America and Spiderman to obscure heroes like Beta Ray Bill, Cosmic Ghost Rider and Phyla-Vell (No idea who she is). Each of them has an attack button, a jump or fly button, a block or dodge button and a special button. You can mix and match the inputs for devasting 100 hit combos. Frankly not all of the characters controls great. The heavy characters does give a lot of power but they are slow to dodge so I stick to the small fast charactters since the enemies are always moving on the screen a lot

Speaking of enemies. This game has a lot of them. The main bad guy in this game is Annihilus. From what I can understand he is part robot and part bug. So most of the bad guys that rush you are usually bug based. You do get a Sentinel and dinasour as well as a symbiote here and there. As for the bosses, all of the big bads are here from Thanos to Galacus. Each of the boss has their own unique pattern which takes a couple of tries so its fairly straight forward. 

What I liked about this game besides the art sytle is the combat. It plays like an old version of a 2D fighting game which isi fun to control. But the thing that I don't like is that it gets too repetitive after a while. The stage really don't offer any much variety in gameplay. You go from point A to point B. Fight some bad guys and the boss and you move. It gets to repetitive for a while. Lastly the bosses are so freaking hard. One wrong move you will have to restart the game again. I think it would be easier if you play it with a group. 

In the end this game is fun and I would recommend anyone to play it if they have friends. So I give it a good
