Things that happen in May

So besides the new normal in May. There are not that many things that happen. I cooked a lot. I made sushi for the first time. It turns out making sushi is not easy. Plus we didn't had the proper seaweed and device to roll. Mostly my days consist of cooking items. Since we are practicing Ramadan for the month. I only need to cook once a day which is great. We bought some clothes of the cat. That is cute. The cat looks very annoyed wearing them. 

Couldn't go shopping that much so we spend most of the time online shopping. The problem with online shopping is that we can't touch the material and we need to be precise on the sizes. So it's kind of a gamble. We bought our Eid cookies so I've been munching on that. I backed up on a new laptop. The last time I backed up an indiegogo project was in 2018. I can't wait for the laptop to arrive. 

Finally Eid arrived and usually it is going to be an awesome week but since we are on lockdown we only can visit our relatives for one day. So since it was supposed to be me and my mom this year. But my mom is not coming down. So it's just me with my wife's family. We spend the morning eating great food at my mom in law house and in the afternoon we went to my dad in law house. Overall it was a good Eid. Nothing special. The next day my best friend came down and send me some cookies. But he didn't want to come in due to social distancing. Overall May has been a okay month of staying indoors most of the time   

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker

One of the feel good games for this year 

Game no: 368
Genre: Action 
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: 2014

What is it about?

Follow Captain Toad and Toadette as they explore worlds for treasure 

What I liked?

A game without a jump and a run button makes for very interesting gameplay 

The stages are mini dioramas. They look vibrant and interesting 

The game is too cute. It may look easy but it so challenging 

Bosses are different and challenging

2 player is a different experience 

If you die but get a Gem, you'll start with gem in hand. Which is awesome 

Lots and lots of stages. Around 70

Bonus stages are satisfying 

DLC is awesome 

What I didn't liked?

Some of the touchscreen stages really hinders gameplay in handheld mode  

Some stages are really hard. You need to figure where does the puzzle piece to get the treasure 

Status: Finish the main game and played some of the DLC 

Fun Factor: One of the best games I've played. One of the top 10 game of the year

Quarantine Day 73

Yesterday I made some beef rice. It was awesome. Had some this morning 

So yesterday we have more cases and it's all due to the foreign workers. This is going to be a big problem since that there are like 5 million foreigners working here. Everything is a just a wait and see moment so that's just frustrating. Nothing much to report 

Mary Poppins Returns

Well you can say the first movie is better. But this is a different movie altogether

What is it about?

The Banks family now have children of their own and they need Mary Poppins more than ever 

The Good 

The story is fun and serviceable 

The are some fun song 

Animation scenes are better than the first movie

Emily Blunt makes for a good title character  

The Bad

They still haven't explained what is Mary Poppins 

Song of the song are not as great as the first movie

I think it's because we've seen the first movie. It doesn't have a certain magic as the first one has 

The Ugly

Nothing much 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: A fun movie to watch. Nothing that special 

Little

This is basically a reverse Big (an old Tom Hanks movie) 

What it about?

A bad boss learns her lesson when she is transform into her younger self

The Good

There are some funny moments

The Bad

The movie is trying to many storylines and doesn't stick the landing

The school scene was cut short

The assistant didn't have time to shine

We don't even know when she learnt her lesson because she was bitchy all the way

The Ugly 

Seriously this movie sucks. 

After Credits: No

Verdict: Can be avoided. Watch Big instead

Florence

A very beautiful game 

Game no: 367
Genre: Other (Interactive Story) 
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: 2018

What is it about?

It a story about live and love 

What I liked?

Everything. This game is simple as it gets. It a story about live and love 

Gameplay is simple but you are there for the story more than the gameplay 

The ending is satisfying 

What I didn't liked?

I wish it didn't end there for her. I wish there is more.

This game is flawless and yet it won't make my top 10 games of the year since there are lot of games that I've played that deserve a spot

Status: Finish the game. It's only 40 minutes long

Fun Factor: A must play for everyone. 

Quarantine Day 72

Yesterday I fasted but at night I ate some chicken satay. I think I kinda ate too much. Didn't felt good at night 

Yesterday we had our lowest case ever which is only 10 cases. The authorities announce that if this goes well by 9th June it could be the end of the control order. School probably going to open soon. This is really quite worrying since the only way they can do that if there is no new cases. Since a single case can multiply to hundreds.
