Week 30 - Its H1 brithday

So this week is a good week. Nothing much I can say but it is H1 birthday. She is 17 now. I love her so much and I can't believe that I still remember her when she was a baby. 

 Jul 21 • Took girls out to the mall. We spend 5 hours+ there. Probably a new record.

Jul 22
• Went to Ikea today. Wife needed a new table and some other stuff. I bought a ikea drill. Man that makes installing stuff so much easier and fun as well. Both H1 and H2 can help it in. Ikea is like adult lego. It fun to build.

Jul 23
• Mom is back today. So I and the girls cleaned the whole house from the topped to bottom only to get scolded for forgetting to put the carpet in her room.

Jul 24
• Mom had a lunch date with a friend. We were supposed to go but in the last minute her friend cancelled. So we had to change the plan
• We went to H1 university that she wanted to go. The university was great. It is not that big in size and it is close by with everything. My mom followed as well and she was very impressed with it. As well as H1. We had lunch but that was nothing special. The distance from home is quite a distance. At 35 minutes commuting would be a bit far everyday and it would be wasting time. So we decided if H1 get to go there she will be staying there
• Later at night H1 came and she was crying and she doesn't want to go because it is too expensive and she doesn't want to leave. We had to convince her it is going to be ok.

Jul 25
• Watching Deadpool & Wolverine. It was freaking awesome
• Wife students came here in the evening and they had dinner and we talked and had fun laughing.

Jul 27
• Today is H1's birthday. So we went to the bakery to eat. She had a beef rubean sandwhich and I had a chicken burger and H2 had some fish and chips. After that we went shopping and end the day with eating some ice cream.
• Went to MIL house. She gave H1 300 bucks. Got some chinese food and went home. Overall a good day

Next week will be a busy week. H1 needs to register for school. Wife got some doctors appointments. So hopefully it will be a good week.

Deadpool & Wolverine

This movie is freaking Epic. Marvel is back 

What is it about?
Deadpool has to embark on a journey to save his timeline before it face extinction with the help of Wolverine 

The Good
The opening, the middle and ending. This movie is just epic love letter to the Fox Cinematic Universe 

The Camoes of the movie. There are around 15 cameos in the movie with 5 epic camoes 

Great songs. A lot of 90s-00s music which is great for the movies pacing
Deadpool and Wolverine. They have the best chemistery and action together 
The last action scene 

The Bad
Not for me, but if you're not a big fan of Marvel in general you won't understand the movie that much. 

Cassandra Nova is an okay marvel villian. Nothing too special. 

Ending. We don't know what happens next

The Ugly
How come Wolverine costume has battle damage but deadpool clothes looks brand new

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: Best Marvel movie since Guardians 3 

CSI: Vegas S3

Suprised this lasted 3 seasons 

Where we left off: Joushua is in for murdering someone and the CSI team has to clear his name. 

Why this show is not that great: This show is quite boring actually. I mean some of the cases are fun but most of them are just a typical cookie cutter episode 

Main villian: There is an overall arc involving a robot and a lot of different episodes that lead to the season finale. 

Cancelled: It ended. That's all. Basically they live to fight another day. I don't think I could watch the old show again. Maybe I could but who knows 

Spider-Man

The Playstation one is the superior version

Game no: 527
Genre: Action 
Platform: Nintendo 64
Release Date: 2000

This is one of my favorite PS1 games and the last time I played this game was 8 years ago. So what can I say about the N64 version. Let's get the good parts first. First all the gameplay is here. Every stage, enemies and bosses are here. The best part about this game is that when you are older you tend to know what to do when you playing this. Most of the time I just avoid the bad guys and staright go to the end point. Other than a bit of clunky controls. Spider-Man is a fun game to play. What is missing and it is an important part of the game is the cutscene. They replace it with static images with text that you have to read. They didn't even put the voice over for it. The problem is that the Nintendo 64 cartirage can only hold 64MB of data vs a 700MB data from the Playstation version. But I am suprised they manage to pull this off. Overall it is a good game and I can't wait to play the Playstation version again in another 8 years (or less). A-Rank for me  

Week 29 - I faked my own death

This week with the hospital visit and what happened in the end of the week. This week wasn't a good week for me. Nothing much has change for wife. She is still hurting and the operaiton didn't seem to do anything to eleviate the pain. Sigh

Jul 14
• visited another university. It was fun
• H1 didn’t want to go to this university. So back to the drawing board
• H1 lost her makeup bag and we can’t find it anywhere

Jul 15
• Packing to head up to the hospital. Wife has surgery tomorrow
• Send kids to grandmas
• Found H1 makeup bag. It was at the restaurant we at 45 mins from the house. Sigh
• Got a good single room hotel. The sofa is a bit hard but it’s since it’s only a couple of days

Jul 16
• Wife operation started late like 10pm. She was asked to fast by 8am and couldn’t eat until the next day
• Did some classes which was great
• Had some Arabic food which was yummy

Jul 17 (unmemorable)
• wife came back from the operation at 1am
• I got 2 summons totalling 600 bucks
• Paid off my road tax and insurance

Jul 18
• The operation wasn't a success. Nothing substatial happen. She is still in pain and she doesn't want to do this anymore. I don't know what to do. I just think that she really needs to lose weight. I do as well
• Finally get to checked out of the hosiptal. That took a while. I think among the hospital I've been. This was not bad and it is not good as well.
• Went straight to take the maid and send her to home and we slept at MIL house

Jul 19
• MIL wants me to cook lasanga at 11am. I can't say no because it will make me look like a jerk and whatever I do it will make me look like a jerk as well. So I say yes but I did say that it is going to take a while.
• Wife wants to stay one more day here and everyone wants to go home. This sucks

Jul 20 (unmemorable)

• Well I did it again. And this time is the last time. I assume that I could be rich. But after $17000 I found out that I it was all a lie and I just lost more money. So what I did is I faked my own death. Yes, in order to get away from this hacker who keeps wanting me to give money. I just say I am going to kill myself. Well at least she doesn't know who am I except for my first name. So kids remember, there is no shortcut on getting rich. Hard work and patience is the only way to get rich. So I learn my lesson. Well next month will start my 10 year plan to be a half millionaire
• Wife got super pissed off. First she tried to give me sex. But I didn't see that. Second. There was a stink and my mom room. It turns out it was the carpet. Third I keep playing my phone so she lost it. She cried. I let her cried. I told her she was being dumb and we talked it out. Overall today was a crappy day

Crappy week this week. Lost a lot of money. But it's okay. The key for a bad week is picking yourself back up and just trying again next week. So next week looking forward to Deadpool & Wolverine. Other than that nothing much on the horizon.

Dispicable Me 4

 Never watch 1,2,3 

What is it about?
Gru and the family has to go into hiding because some crazy bug person is chasing them 

The Good
The minions now have super powers and it was hillarious 

The Bad
Everything else. The movie is not that entertaining. The only part that is entertaining is the minion part. Other than that. Everything is quite boring 

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Credit: Yes

Verdict: I didn't like it. But that's just me. 

The West Wing Season 1

When this was on air. I was 15

What is it about?
It is about the people who works with the president and how they make the goverment run. It is a lot of political stuff that I don't understand

A lot of well known actors 
A lot of well know actors before they were household names. They look so young here. Now they are close to 50-65 nowadays. Some of them are even not even alive. 

This season
Mostly to do with getting someone to the supreme court. 

Ending
It ended in a cliffhanger. We don't know who got shot until the next season 

Civil War

Nope.. There is no Iron Man or Captain America in this 

What is it about?
The America is part of a civil war and we follow a group of journalist who wants to go to the core of the action 

The Good
War is real. This movie shows how bad is was is and how real the people who took the pictures 
Some of the scene are really scary 

The Bad
Why are they fighting? No idea

What do the factions want?
Who are the good guys? I don't get it. I don't think this is that type of movie 

The Ugly
Ending sucks

After Credit: No 

Verdict: Can skip. It is an okay movie but nothing breathtaking 

A Gentleman in Moscow

This is a great series througout the ages 

What is it about.
This is based on a book. It is not a true story about an aristrocrat who lives in Russia when they have a monachy. But after the fall, he was sentence to live out his life in a 5 star hotel. So this story follows his journey throughout the years 

This show is amazing
It shows how someone from a high stature became a part of the people and in the end he foudn what he was looking for. Love and a family 

The hotel is like the best
The hotel is a character on its own. You can eat whatever and do whatever in the hotel. But can you stay forever there. He did stay for at least 40 years over there

The end
It ended in a great note. I like the ending. I wish it was better but this was the best ending that they can give 

Week 28 - I tried VR for the first time

Another week has come and gone. This week is a good week for me. Nothing subtantial happens. So its all good 

Jul 7

Jul 9
• me and H2 went on a date together. We watched a movie and she made her bank account

• Met my our old family friend from New Zelaand. The funny thing we leave nearby but we haven't visited each other. Stayed there for close to 4 hours.
• Tried the Meta Quest 3 for the first time. First impression is that, this thing has a big learning curve. I am still not used to the controls calibrations. It does get sweaty in the eyes. So will I buy it? Not yet... Still not that important. Plus I look like an idiot.

Next week wife will have an operation. Hopefully it will go smoothly. Other than that I have nothing much on the horizon. 

Inside Out 2

The first one is always better 

What is it about?
Riley is 13 and now she is experincing puberty with a lot of new emotions 

The Good
The story is great. It shows how people handle with emotions and how unchecked emotions will get the best of you 
There are a lot of funny moments.

The Bad
There are a lot of things that they don't explain but we go with the flow
What happen to the rest of the adult emotions 

The Ugly
There is going to be other emotions that they didn't cover. And if they want to make it kid friendly. I don't think they will cover it 

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: A must watch/ One of the best in 2024

Family Guy Season 22

Every year another family guy 

Why Family Guy: Why not. It is one constant thing in like. This and the simpsons. 

Jokes are funny: Sometimes. Most of the times it just seeing Peter and Stewie get into weird things. But sometimes other family guy members have their time to shine 

It is forgettable: Yes. Every family guy episode is forgettable. But is still a fun to watch 

See you next year: That's all I got to say 

Week 27 - My best friend has gone home.

This week has been a great week. I got a lot of money. More money tha I will ever see in my lifetime. Now I am scared to use it due to it being a lot of money. 

 Jun 30

• Had a barbeque at mother in laws house. They cooked chicken and lamb. I made some fried rice and carbonara.
• Wife lost an exam paper and we took an hour looking for it until we finally gave up.She wrote on email and hope she won't get into too much trouble

And with that half of the year is done. It is just me or that time flies so fast. I think that is fast in my book. Nothing much I get to show for half in year. There are some memorable and unmemorable things happen. I play still less game which sucks. But there is nothing much I can do since I really am always busy.

Jul 1
• So it turns out the paper that we was lost was never here to begin with. The student was caught cheating. But they record the paper. So it wasn't our fault
• H2 is still bad so we went back to the clinc and they ask us to change antiobiotics. If by 3 days no improvement, she may need to be warded
• My toungue got an ulcur. So annoying.

Jul 3 (memorable)
• H2 wasn't feeling well so at 2am I had to wake up and send her to the clinic. She probably had some bad reaction from the medication.
• Mom gave me and the girls a lot of money. I got 220k and kids got 165k each. But there was a problem with H2 account so need to sort it out tomorrow.

Jul 4
• Went to the bank to put 70% of H1 money to us. Since by 18 we don’t have control over the account. And we know that she won’t spend it on her education
• Best friend is going back to Korea. Went to the airport at 6 to met him. Had McDonald’s while saying goodbye. I’m going to miss them

Jul 6
• Send H1 to tighten her braces
• My twitter friend is back so I had a good time chating with them, even if its not that long.
• Went to have lunch with wife best friend. After that we watch Inside Out 2

Overall it has been a good week. Next week I am going to be a busy cooking for wife pot luck and the need to renew my roadtax.

Challengers

No idea what the story is about... Its clearly not tennis 

What is it about?
Two best friends who like the same girls have a falling out and now they are playing with each other 

The Good
The tennis matches are not that bad

The Bad
They market this movie as a raunchy one. But it turns out that scene was only 30 seconds
I don't like to going front and back through time. You can do that but not all the time 
I don't get some stuff. Like who is the father of that kid?

The Ugly
The heck is the ending about?

After Credits: No

Verdict: Nah... Skip this 

Parks and Recreation Season 7

The series finale to one of a great sitcom 

Time jump: It starts 3 years in the future in the year 2017. Their version of the future is like it should be in the year 2037. I think they used half of their budget for special effects 

Everything is changing: Everyone has their time to shine. Even if its 13 episodes. Every character has their goals that they want for the future. I love that everyone got their happy ending. Well almost everyone 

Season Finale: They did a good bowtie for every character. They even bring back Ann and Chris for the finale. I think that one Ben became president or something. But It was one of the best season finale I've watched. 

Ranking: So here are my ranking of the best Sitcoms of all time

1. How I met your mother 
2. Sienfled 

3. Brooklyn Nine-nine

4. Happy ending 

5. TheOffice 

6. Parks and Recreation 

7. Modern Family 

Boy Kills World

This is basically a video game movie 

What is it about?
A guy who sets out for course of revenge only to find something more sinister behind it 

The Good
The movie is simple enough with good narration 
The action is first class gore 

The Bad
The movie is really boring. Once you know the twist it wasn't that great
After a while the action seems repetitive 

The Ugly 
Nothing much 

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: It is an okay movie. Can't complain 

Week 26 - H1 is going uni hunting

This week is just another normal week for me. H2 is super sick. H1 is going university hunting which is a headache on it's own since we need to figure out how to get the money. A lot of things to do. But I hope something good comes my way.

Jun 24

• Cleaning the house due to mom is coming
• Wife bought a new iPad Air. Comes with a free pencil and 500

Jun 25

• I lost a friend. Well I don’t consider her a friend since she brings nothing to the table of friendship. So I decided to snapped at her. she finally said goodbye. For the first time that I don’t have any lost feelings of she going away… I call it growth.
• Wife students came to visit. Had dinner and they bake a cake
• H1 deposited all her money from her art sales. Totalling $300

Jun 27

• Wife new ipad is here
• H2 is having high fever and yet she has to go to school due to the final exams
• H1 went out with boys. I wasn't ausmed but they seem like nice people

Jun 28

• H2 has a high fever. Took her to the clinic and they gave her antibiotic. She still has to attend school because of her final exams
• Mom treat us to Thai food. Damn it was good. Cost around $100
• Had to pick up H2 friend. So she joined us for lunch as well.
• Rained so heavy today when I send mom to the hotel
• My friend who said goodbye unblocked me. But I think the freindship has sour. I will just be a person that they want me to be.,

Jun 29

• Went university hunting with H1. First uni was good. Price was quite steep at 110k for 4 years. The university its a big huge building. Distance is around 20 mins from the house. The second university is around 20 mins away but the price is around 80k. Which is much cheaper and H1 seems to be keen in learning here. Now we just need to figure out how to get money.

Next week will be the last week of H2 primary school. Other than that there is nothing that interesting that's going to happen. But you never know. Life is super unpredictable
