Week 21: Met some new friends

This week has been a great week. Nothing to extreme happen and it ended with me meeting up with new friends. I can't imaigne at my age be meeting with new people. I really enjoyed myself. Hope I can do it again 

May 18

• Today H2 has a party so I send her and then picked up the maid after that

• Pick up H2 after 1:30 and went to go to get some lunch. Today we are eating some chiense food

• My friend put a downpayment on a used Volvo XC60. It's a bad idea but they don't listen to me. 


May 19


• Today I am making some spanish Paella. It turned out great. The whole family loves it

• Send H1 back to uni. She is not coming back for 3 week since its the finals week. 

• The contractor finish installing the front awning. But there is still more things to do. 


May 20


• Had to accompany wife to class today. She doesn't want to be alone. She did 2.5 hours of classes

• Had lunch outside and bought food for H2 


May 21

• The contractor did last touch up of work. The house is finish but there are a couple more new things but that is the next project 

• Wife had an appointment with her therapist. It was also like marriage council for us since there are some thing we are not satistified with each other 

• After that we went to IKEA to get lunch and lamp for her

• Dad in law pick up H2 from school and brought her for lunch. After that wife and dad manage to catch up for 2 hours while I did classes

• Was hungry so went out to eat by myself. 


May 22

• After sending H2 for classes wife wanted some nasi kerabu for breakfast. Just ordered by delivery 

• After breakfast the contractor come to fixed the aircond that his worker damaged

• Slept with wife until 1:30pm and then both of us drove to her uni. She needs to send some documents while I pick up H2. She is planning to give the car to H1 since she won't be back for a couple of weeks. But I need to fill her car up. I will do that later. 

• All of us are in one car and we went to the mall. Got some mall sushi and did some grocery shopping and ended with some blended juice

• At night I made some baked potatoes like the one on youtube


May 23

• Made some chicken tacos today 

• H2 got home school because of the Asean summit and the roads are jam 

• Wife cousin got admitted to the hospital due to dengue

• H1 called me and ask me to come and help her fill the car up with petrol. Did that in under 10 minutes 


May 24 memorable

• Today after class I got ready for my get together with strangers that I haven't met before. Arrived 30 minutes early and found parking beside the road. Came to the restaurant and the host was there (mid 30s). She with long and curly hair. Works in digital media and does asset management. We talked and then another girl showed up. She works in the Argentinian consulate and lives with her aunt (early 30s). After that another girl showed up (20s) She was a college dropout taking fashion. We waited for the rest but in the end we decide to order food. The conversations were stimulating. I was making jokes and they were laughing. It was an enjoyable and happy moment. Sad to see it had to end at 2pm

• Had to rush back because wife cousin was sick at the hospital and we needed to get some supplies for her. There are a lot of things that she want. Send H2 to mom in law house. Mom in law wanst to go as well, which I really didn't mind as long as she is civil. Came to the hospital and stayed there until closing time. Pity wife's cousin because she was alone. No family. 

• Coming back wife ordered some food for her mom and then we picked up the maid

• My young best friend the medical student is sad because her boyfriend hasn't contact her in a month. She doesn't have any means to contact her. I have no advice for that.


Next week besides helping wife with work. I have nothing much planned. H2 has school from home for 3 days so I'll take the time to do as much classes.

Babygirl

This movie is something different 










What is it about? 
A powerful CEO can't be satisfied because she likes someone else to call the shot. So she has an affair with the intern

The Good
The story is very predictable 

The Bad
I didn't like the degrading part of the woman. 
The acting seems a bit stiff or that is just me 

The Ugly
They need to go to theraphy rather than doing all this crazy thing 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Don't watch. Waste of your time 





Schitt’s Creek Season 6

Let's end this with a bang


















How long: As since this is the last season. I like to do a recap on how long I took to watch 80 episodes. It took me around 8 weeks which is not bad. I enjoyed every moment of it

In the end: Everyone got their happy ending, even Alexis who didn't find true love got to be where she is going. It is sad that we couldn't see where their lives will end up but I think that this show could go on for another 2-3 season but it wouldn't be the same without the people of this town 

Love: I think this season it shows us that this town gave them a home but it was the love that they show throughout this whole show made this show an amazing show to watch 

Would I watch it again: No. Schitt's creek is a one and done. It is funny. But it is not the best. There are more great comedies out there but you should at least watch this once. 

September 5

Based on true events 










What is it about?
Based on the terrorist attack where the Isreali atheletes are being held hostage during the 1982 summer olympic games. The prespective is from the broadcast station 

The Good
Shows the operations on how to run an international network broadcast
Whenever I see period pieces like this, I left to wonder how is it possible that they get everything to match what it looks like 40 years ago 

The Bad
We can't see the action since it just the presepective of the reporters. So this is a talking movie rather than an action movie 

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: Its an okay movie, nothing too special

Ted

This is a hillarious series 










What is it about? Is the prequal of the movie Ted (which I really want to watch). Basically its them during the high school years 

Mini Oriville: 60% of the cast are from Seth other show Orville. So it is fun to see the characters ("even if they have different roles) to wind up here

Jokes: The jokes are racist and funny. But this show is not for everyone. Some may find this show offensive but this is the funniest thing I ever saw

Season 1: Hopefully there is a season 2, but shows like this are very expensive and difficult to produce. Makes me want to watch the movie

The most recent Cilnt Eastwood movie

You know its a good movie when you are questioning everything
Nicolas Hoult is in everything that I watch this year

Superman & Lois Season 4

An amazing end to the best Superman series 










Where we left off: Superman is fighting a version of himself and things are looking bleak. The first 3 episodes has a lot of heart into it

Identity: The hardest part about being Superman is keeping the secret and in this sesaon things are starting to unravel when it is getting harder for him to keep his double life in check. 

The characters: The kept Lex Luthor for the last season was great writing. Eventhough this season they had to cut on series regulars where not everyone gets their screentime. They manage to make sure everyone is there for the finale.

The End: If you don't want to watch this. Just watch the last 10 mins and it will tell you how the blessed the Man of Steel is in the end. 4 Season was a good amount to show for this sesries 

Nosferatu

This movie is so boring











What is it about?
Well basically its about dracula and he wanting to get his bride who ash run away

The Good
There are some moments that are somewhat scary 
The use some vampire lore but keep it a bit discreet 
I think this movie would look good in black and white 

The Bad
Its too long, there are some parts that can be cut off
In the end, the payout was not worth the movie 

The Ugly
I wonder why people don't come in crowds like the do in the olden days with pitchforks 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Nope, not worth a viewing

Schitt's Creek Season 5

The Roses are on top 











This season: Johnny is getting the hang of running the hotel. Moira is directing a musical. David is running the shop well and Alexis is a little bit Alexis (great song) 

Side characters:  Roland is now part of the hotel staff. Stevie love life is starting strong. Jocelyn is balancing on being a mother and daily life. Twyla, Bob and Veronica also have their moments 

Big moments: Everyone in the family got their big moments (David being the biggest one) . I think this season we can see a lot of growth in each characters. 

Ended: With 3 cliffhangers. Not that big but somewhat there. Oh and this show has the best ending theme song with the Trombone

Thunderbolts* / *The New Avengers

 One of the best MCU movies in a while


What is it about?
A group of  anti heroes team up together to stop an unstopabble threat. 

The Good
The movie is action packed and really interesting
Florance Pugh carries this whole movie. She has the most screen time among all the actors
Every actor has a change to shine and they work well as a group in scenes 

The Bad
Taskmaster. They did wrong by her. 
The main bad guy. They didn't reallly explain him properly and this final scene was anti climatic.

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: 2 with the final one being the most significant 

Verdict: Sets up Phase 6 of the MCU. A must a watch 

Suicide Squad ISEKAI

Is this an ISEKAI?











What is an ISEKAI?: An ISEKAI is when your characters are not at their usual situation. In this case the suicide squad are in a fantasy land 

The team: King Shark, Clayface, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Peacemaker and Rick Flagg. There are also the A team which is Thinkerer, Enchanteress, Katana, Killer Croc and The Joker. 

The story: It is a fun story, but since its in Japanese I really need to concentrate to figure out what is going on. The story is really over the top with typical anime troupes.

Ending: In ended on a good note but there is going to be a cliifhanger. Probably if they do a second season it is going to be better.

aperture Desk Job

First game to try with the Steamdeck 

Game no: 549
Genre: Action
Platform: PC
Release Date: 2022

Wife bought me a Steamdeck OLED for our anniversary and what beter way to celebrate it by playing a tech demo that is desguised as a game in aperture Desk Job. aperture Desk Job is basically a tech demo to show how the Steamdeck and all the buttons work. The story takes place a long time ago before the events of half-life 1. You play as a console operator who job is to inspect the toilets are working with your supervisor Grady helping you on the way. The story is an entertaining one. The best part of the game is that it doesn't overstay its welcome. It is a good 2 hours and then you are done. Nothing more, nothing less. In the Desk Job is a good way to test the Steamdeck capabilities before diving in other games. Overall I give this game a S-Rank

Bridget Jones Mad About A Boy

This will probably be the last movie I guess










What is it about?
10 years after the last movie. Bridget is single and has to navigate parenthood and his love life alone 

The Good
It's a funny romantic comedy
The sadness in the movie is apperent 

The Bad
This movie is long but there are some parts that really hurts pacing
Uprutly ended and the actual lovelife was settled a bit too fast 

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After credits: Yes, just showed past movies 

Verdict: Can be avoided, among the 4 movies, this is the weakest

Week 18: I got a Steamdeck OLED for my anniversary

It started like a normal week. House getting repair and wife decided to give me a pc handheld finally. I choose the steamdeck between the ROG Ally X due to it being more user friendly than the Ally X. Which is somewhat true (I'll give a review later)

Apr 27
• After a long day of classes, got ready to pick up mom.
• After picking up mom we went to the fanciest wedding I have ever been too. They serve , 2 types of rice, masak lemak ayam, daging dendeng, fried calamari, veggies, kerabu goreng, pecal, cakes, cendol, fruits. Mom met her 2nd cousins. She hasn't seem them for 50 years. It was good to catch up
• After send mom to the hotel, back home and I go to talk to my new friend. They listen to a lot of me talking just to keep myself awake.

Apr 28
• Cooked some char kuey tiow
• Send H1 to her uni adn pick her back at 10. Today she took the car going to school in the evening.
• My neighbour made an open house in the evening. I went there alone adn ate some food. His wife than packed some food for the girls
• Picked up the cleaner today

Apr 29 (19th year Anniversary)
• Both me and wife are busy that I didn't have time to buy her a gift for today.
• Went to the city to get medicine, send some documents to the lawyer, send the maid back
• Cleanup the room knowing that tomorrow the contractors are coming.

Apr 30
• The Contractors came today. After moving out all the furniture. The took out the laminated wooden flooring. The flooring was wet so they took all the pieces out and dry them in the hot sun.
• They then proceed to put a waterproof coating at the first layer of the floor and the wall. Wait for it to dry and put on a second coating. After that they left and will come back 2 more days since it takes a while to dry out.
• Wife took the car the whole day today because of work. H2 didn't go to school because she didn't want to do cross country.
• Ate some leftovers for breakfast, ayam gepuk for lunch, and a burger for dinner

With that April is finish and so is Eid. This month is wasn't the best month. But here are some ups and down. Let's see what May is in store for us

May 1 New Stuff
• What started as a normal day. It is Labour day so I did classes and after that I fell asleep
• Went out for lunch with H2 and wife. Ate some Korean. H1 doesn't want to follow because she is preparing for an exam
• So what made today special is that wife decided to get my a gaming handheld of my choice. It means that I can choose anything I want. But after discussing with her and going around the mall. I told her is better to get it second hand since I can get a better version with the same price.
• We went back home and I finally decided to get a steamdeck from 2nd hand website. I wanteed a ROG Ally x but in hindsight I am happy I didn't get it since the Steamdeck is a far better machine it terms of ease of use (after setting it up)
• At around 10pm the guy came to the house, breif me on its ease of use and the left me. I was too tired to play with it but I was happy

May 2
• Everybody was busy with their own work. H2 has no school
• Cooked some soy chicken and some squids
• Got my steamdeck set up. Had to pay someone to do but it beats me not doing it. Playing PS5 streaming on here is awesome

May 3
• In the morning the contractor came and continued their work
• After class I took a short nap
• Around 230pm we left to pick up H1 to go watch Thunderbolts*
• After the movie was finish we left the mall to go have dinner. H1 wanted a burger while we all had chiense food
• Send H1 back to uni and pick up the cleaner
• The house was done. It was transformed into a different colour house. So now we need to clean it so that we can stay in there again

So next week hopefully life will be somewhat back to normal. I may have one thing in the docket but I am not sure that is sitll on or not. OTher than that, it is just business as usual I guess. I'm looking forward to not wasting time

Schitt's Creek Season 4

This is where the series peak into a great comedy 










What's new: Everyone now has a purpose. Their lives are intertwined with each other but the main theme of this season is love and trying to find it 

Best character: In order of the most funniest. Moira, Alexis, Johnny, David. They are all funny but Moira is just out of this world

Money: For the first time everyone has a job and they can survive. They may not be rich but at least they are all happy

Love: Love is the theme of this season. I'm glad at the end of the episode everyone finds love and is happier for it 

Replayed: Bloody Roar 2

Better than the first one 

Game no: 548
Genre: Fighting
Platform: PC
Release Date: 1998

What can I say about this game that I didn't tell before. Nothing much. It is just a better than the previous one. Improve graphics, better controls and new characters. The graphics are so much better that this is one of the hardest titles to emulate on the ps1 due to a lot of particle effects. For 1998 that is considered a techincal marvel. But the fighting is a stiff as usual. The thing with most ps1 3D fighting games is that I think running a game in 3D eats up resources which means you can't have it top fluid. But it is a still a fun game to play nontheless. Played it again just to see that if it holds up. Yes it does. I give it a B-Rank
