Consider this as a sign to watch C-dramas
I have been on the “Coroner’s Diary” marathon watch for the past 2 weeks, so I’m sharing with you some of the shots from this beautiful series (think… murder mysteries/procedural series meet palace dramas) along with my babble on why C-drama is that sister. I took the screenshots from the IQIYI app; unlike Netflix, IQIYI…

Food-related series
I’m not sure if this is some kind of trend, but I have been noticing an increase in video clips, usually on Tiktok, from TV series. The clips are usually a “summary” of an episode and narrated by an AI voiceover. The names of the characters are wildly different from the actual characters’ name on…

The Liebermann Papers on BBCPlayer
Sherlock Holmes was my entry point into the murder mystery genre, then kids-friendly-sans-murder mysteries such as Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five”, Robert Arthur Jr.’s “Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators”, and Stefan Wolf/Rolf Kalmuczak‘s “TTKG”. Afterwards, there were some names, some were new, obscure, and some even haven’t got their well-deserved international recognition. One of…

I also can’t watch movies with a very intensive storyline. While I enjoy thriller or detective shows, there is a specific limit on…

Kecak Dance at Uluwatu Temple, Bali
Watching this IRL has been one of my bucket lists. As of now, Youtube should suffice. Kecak dance is telling a story of Ramayana ballad — a story about a prince (Lord Rama) with his wife, Sita (in Indonesia, we named her “Shinta”) and their battle against evil force: Ravana. The story opens with kecak…

‘Delicious Rendezvous’ (SBS TV)
For the past several weeks, I have been feeling unmotivated. For most of the part, this is due to the prolonged lockdown here in Malaysia — specifically, Klang Valley area (Selangor and Kuala Lumpur are the two long-time runners of the highest cases on daily basis ?) However, things are picking up. The vaccination rate…

Recheck the current workflow, tweak it, and stick with it
“I need to be okay with making ugly things.” In case it wasn’t obvious enough, I have been looking for organizing and habit-building tips since last weekend. I rechecked my bullet journal and I wanted to know which system/pattern that actually works for me. One of my biggest mistake — or maybe THE biggest mistake…
