Step father in law was not feeling that great so I need to take him to the clinic.

Lilo & Stitch

I like this version better than the cartoon

What is it about?
The live action remake of the cartoon of the same name 

The Good 
They streamline the story and made in more easier with less alien drama 
Some characters are changed for the story 
Lilo and Stitch are really lovable characters 

The Bad
I didn't like the ending as much. The cartoon one was better 

The Ugly
Nothing much. This was a good remake 

After Credits: Yes

Verdict: If you love the cartoon. You will love this movie 

9-1-1 Lone Star Season 5

The end to a great series 

No Grace: The actor who played Grace is no longer here. Rather than recast her they choose to write her off which makes the story seems a big dumb since how can a mom leave a child and a husband alone.

Close threads: The manage to close the threads with all outstanding plotlines. Who killed Carlos dad. How did Owen deal with the loss of his brother. Marjan getting married. Everything was good 

New cases: There are also big story arcs as well. Tommy getting cancer. Meteo being deported. Strickland being Lt. As well as there is this weird side story of TK step dad. 

Finale: In the end everyone had a happy every after ending. Did I like the ending. It was okay. But I think that if they want to revisit this series again in the near future. It would be okay

Week 10: Ramadan Blues

This Ramadan there are things that are happening that I don't quite like. One friend is avoiding me which is sad. The other friend want me to start paying her back. I decide I need to start loving myself more. Well I do love myself more... But I usually do it when I fixate on something I can't control and get sad when things don't go my way. Other than that my Ramadan was okay. The girls have their period so I am solo this week.

Mar 1 (11th Ramadan)

• Did classes. Got a nap. Send cleaner back by 2pm

• Didn't want to cook today so wife ordered some Korean fried chicken with rice

• In the evening went to terawih and fill up wife's car

Mar 3 (13th Ramadan) 

• Woke up this morning to no classes. I open 6 but only got 3. 

• My friend text and needs money for her cancer treatment. I said okay. So I went to the bank after doing groceries (making chicken pasta bake which was delicious) and took out 15k

• Wife's wheelchair was broken so we spend more than an hour at the shop getting it fixed 

• Did classes back home and manage to do only 8 out of 9

• H1 didn't came back for break fast (both she and H2 are on break due to period) so she was busy studying. We wanted her just to stay at the uni since she doesn't need to drive back. She got upset and drove back anyway which is close to midnight 

• Nd was angry at me for wanting the 500 she borrowed from me. So yeah... we had a little disagreement and a long text. I really hope I can get through to her. 

Mar 4 (14th Ramadan)

• Wife didn't want to go to work. I just do my usual things

• Didn't cook and just bought food from the shop. Had time to go exercise which is great 

• Friend didn't message me the whole day today. Sad. 

Mar 5 (15th Ramadan)

• Today I had a lot of free time but there are not that many people who came to class. No idea why. But I manage to get my quota in. Since all three girls are not fasting I was eating alone. 

• Send wife to her uni at 10 and bring her back at 12 only to send her back by 230. 

• I didn't cook today so today I bought some Hotbird fried chicken for the girls and wife wanted a big mac. Had to do terawih from home since she finish her class by 930pm.

• Friend ony texted me once and didn't reply back... So she is not angry at me. So give her time I guess. Hopefully. I really don' want to lose her

• Also got another call from the friend that I owe a lot of money to. She is aksing for her money back. So starting this month I have to her whatever I can afford. Sigh...

Mar 6 (16th Ramadan) 

• Today H2 don't feel so well so she skip school. So I had to send H1 to her uni and pick her up close to 4

• After classes I went to the store to buy some ingredients to make some tomyam. I bought the wrong paste but I manage to fix it. Good thing H2 couldn't fast so she could taste the food. 

• Pick up H1 and the cleaner. Did some lesson and then went to terawih 

• Friend just text me with two lines and then quiet. I think she just want to say she is alive. I think I am not going to wait... I will pray for her but if she is ready to be a friend I will be here 

• Almost forgot that today is My brother's birthday. He is 43. Love him to bits 

Mar 7 (17th Ramadan) 

• Did 10 classes and it makes me wonder after Ramadan can I do like 12 classes starting at 5am? Maybe?

• Took a long nap in the afternoon and then went to go buy things to eat

• Got time to go for an exercise and this evening I did terawih at home 

This week probably going to get some Raya money and get a haricut. Other than that I have nothing on but you know how life is... Unpredictable

Code 3

A story about real life paramedics 

What is about?
Follow the story of Randy the paramedic and details of his last 24 hour shift

The good
It is part comedy but part real story of the unsung heroes whihc is the EMS. 
There are a couple of tense moments of being a paramedic. 
Rainn Wilson is like a more annoyed version of Dwight 

The Bad 
Nothing much. I really enjoyed the movie. 
The length was long but it was good

The Ugly
Nothing much

After Credits: No 

Verdict: If you like real stories about real job. Sure why not 

Tracker Season 1

I didn't know this was a job

What is it about: Colter Shaw is a tracker. Someone who finds anything for a reward. He goes from town to town to get the next big job. So he is basically finds almost anything I guess

Cases: There are some interesting cases and there are some boring cases. But his success rate is 100%. So far I have never seen an episode where he can't find someone 

Special Guest Stars: Colter has a brother and sister that have different lives. But both are played by Jensen Ackles and Mellisa Roxburgh. Those are familiar with them will know they are big players in TV

Season 1: There is a long arc story which was not solve but overall it ends well without any big cliffhanger. Next is sesaon 2.

Materialists

Money doesn't buy you love 

What is it about?
The story of a matchmaker trying to get everyone happy ever after including hers 

The Good
The story is simple enough and it shows the presepctive of dating someone who is rich and not well off
The matchmaking plot is also a good B story

The Bad
There was not what closure after what happen next. The movie just ended with everyone assuming get their happy ending 

The Ugly
Nothing much 

After Credits: No

Verdict: It is an okay love story 

Secret Invasion

A series with a lot of potential but fumbled in the end

What is it about: Adapted from the comic with the same name. The shape shifting skrulls has conqured the planet and Nick Fury came down from his space station to stop the invasion from happening

Cameo: A lot of Fury old players are here. Some are old while some are new. It shows Fury has a lot of friends is this espionage world.

This is not like the comics: The comic is an epic saga of aliens imitating villans which ends in a final fight downtown. This is mostly talking with minimal action. Some scene can be very boring 

The end scene: I think they ran out of budget in the end but the fight scene was a bit low budget. The ending was okay I guess. I did continue in the Marvels 

Week 9: Me and Wife had a big fight

This week was a terrible week. Wife had a meltdown which cause her to run away. I am sad and when I am sad I tend to buy things. Which I got a ps portal that I haven't tested yet. I am very stressed this week. I need to centre myself again 

Feb 22 (4th Ramadan)

• Today the cleaner is cleaning the house so I did some extra classes

• Took a nap and then wife said I don't need to cook so I can buy stuff at the nearby shop

• I hate going to the market since I tend to overbuy. But thank goodness that after we ate the cleaner took the leftovers home 

• Went to terawih with the cleaner and send her home. Came back close to 11pm

Feb 23 (5th Ramadan) (unmemorable)

• Today I cook some Ayam rempah and masak lemak sayur for iftar 

• Today had a fight with wife. She told me I am sex crazy. So I was hurt and then I told her that she wins. Starting today I won't touch her anymore. She can do what she wants and I won't expect anything from her. Its been almost 20 years and it has just being getting worse. Remember what I say "don't get upset over things you can't control" and I can't control this. So I need to make peace and move on.

• Wife said she was sorry and proceed to sleep by hugging me like trying to make up for it but I think the damage is done. Whatever it is.. is in her court right now... I know I will get sex but I think the frequency will be few and far between. I need to find a new hobby or at least keep myself super busy.

Feb 24 (6th Ramadan)

• Today wife want to eat sushi so I don't need to cook. After sending her to work I did extra classes.

• After that we went to the optometrist to fix wife's glasses and send her back to work

• Iftar and then terawih. Normal day today 

Feb 25 (7th Ramadan)

• Did classes and have to cook a lot since wife invited students over

• Wife wasn't in a good mood today because of a dream she had. That sucks. She is taking it out on me 

• Came back H1 is with her boyfriend. I ask them to pick up H2 only to get scolded by H1 because H2 was late. Sigh

• Cooked some Briyani rice, salsa and egg curry. The students came and cooked some chicken sliders. Yummy. My rice was a bit lumpy due to too much water

• H1 was being a but annoying didn't want to hang with the kids. She ate a bit and left. 

• After that I took her boyfriend home and we talk saying that H1 needs some help with her mental health. I kind of agree and hopefully I can fix this problem soon

• Coming back from terawih I played some cards with the girls till midnight.

Feb 26 (8th Ramadan) (unmemorable) 

• Today I planned to make some meatballs eaten with spaggeti and potatoes

• Wife was in a bad mood in the morning. In the afternoon I need to send her to work she yelled at me when I ask her. I kept quiet and after sending her to the office. She said she is leaving me today and took the car and went to her moms house

• The first thing I did was damage control. Talk to her dad. After that we had a big fight. Everything came out and I know we both are lacking in both departments but we are trying. I don't know where it is going from here. She didn't plan to go back home today. So today I slept alone by choice

• My best friend is not feeling well but she needs to get ready to fly to Indonesia tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well.  

Feb 27 (9th Ramadan)

• Woke up alone in my bed is sad but I get ready the kids to eat. H1 joined us since she loves the meatballs. 

• Did classes and send H1 to school. After classes did groceries and pick up H1 from school. Went to pray at the uni and pick up H2 later

• Today I plan to make some grilled chicken sandwhiches with tomato soup. 

• Wife came back in the evening. We hugged and probably made up. 

• In the evening she cried because she thinks she is not a priorty in this family and everything revolves around my schedule which is frustrating since we need to know about time. So basically I am at fault here. 

• My best friend went to Indonesia for work. She was not feeling well so the doctor gave her some medicine and she rest

Feb 28 (10th Ramadan) (New Stuff) 

• Had early intimate time with wife because last night she cried she can't gave it to me. After the suhoor she slept till afternoon

• Wife got so angry at me and list down everything that she was upset about. Bascially everything is my fault what I do will make her feel anxious. I think going forward things are going to change dramatically. Need to think before saying soemthing. Sigh

• I was looking for a new device for myself. I found a PS Portal for my collection sicne I want to play more PS5 games but on the bed. Met that guy and pay RM720 for the machine. I Got the black limited edition one which was the colour I wanted.

• We decided to break fast at my mom in laws house. Drove there and went to buy food. Just spend time relaxing while waiting to break fast

• After break fast, terawih and pick up the cleaner before heading home 

• Today my friend went around Jakarta and didn't fast. She went home late and was late coming home. She is going to rest the whole day tomorrow. 

Next week the only thing I have plan is buying some kuih raya. Other than that is just enjoying the last 20 days of Ramadan. Beside that this is also the end of Febuary. The shortest month of the year. With Dad in law giving us a health scare. Me losing a friend (also making new ones) and the biggest thing is that me and wife a short falling out. Febuary has been a bad month. The only good part of it is Ramadan which is ongoing and I enjoy every minute of being spritual. Lets hope March will fare better
