Booster Shots

Singapore says everybody who has completed the full vaccination regime has to receive a booster shot five months after completion, else they'll be considered unvaccinated if no boosters are received within 270 days. Needless to say, without that criteria, I would have got a booster anyway. It's not like it cost money - it was free. Nonetheless, Singapore's study shows that Moderna vaccine is more superior than Pfizer, which is an already very superior vaccine. The results is that many people, being a typical kiasu Singaporean, want Moderna as the booster even if they received Pfizer. For me, I got Moderna, both doses. The CC I went had since shut, but thankfully a new centre opens in Bishan, so I got my booster in Bishan. Yes, I stick to Moderna. Lots of people I know switched to Moderna. Moderna is more robust, with many who had no effects from it suffering from debilitating side effects after boosters, particularly for those who received full Pfizer doses earlier. For me? Well, I think the first dose drove my immune system into overdrive. This booster shot hit me milder than the 2nd dose - I literally had no side effects, except a little, subtly swollen lymph nodes, and perhaps fatigue (but I blamed it on a Monday blue). Otherwise, no chills, no fever, no palpitations, no ache, no pain, nadda. Booster for me was a swim. Anyway, hopefully this is the last - this has got to stop, it's getting ridiculous.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

 Ever since I subscribed Disney+, and to be able to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home, I have since tried to watch all MCU movies, starting from Iron Man. Iron Man is surprisingly entertaining, and to be frank I'm a bit shocked to find out it was released about 15 years ago. But I've since finished
all phase 1 and phase 2 movies. My favourite, though, is Guardians of The Galaxy, and it's not just because it was the movie I first watched in 2014, but because it's just funny, entertaining and it has a balance of dark and humour, which is atypical of a superhero film. Yet it delivers the superhero ingredients with touching tones with marvellous skills, and that's why it's my number 1 movies. The Avengers is fine, Captain America is fine, but I still like this the best. Will be starting phase 3 soon.

Slasher, Season 3

After a disappointing season 2, I was actually hesitant about watching season 3. Season 2 was very boring, and the characters were just uninteresting. We all knew they were guilty of murder, the main question in season 2 was who outside the group knew.

In season 3, we knew the residents of an apartment all were somehow guilty of nonchalance and non-responsiveness towards a murder that occurred in their building, which also led to the suicide of another resident. But the question in season 3 isn't so much about who knew they, but rather - why? 

I thought season 2 was already very gory, but man, season 3 took it up a few notches.

But season 3 is in entirety a great improvement from season 2. It hasn't been boring a single time. I think what made season 2 boring was that the characters all came from a similar background - a group of sinners, and a group of teenagers. What made them different simply were their family background. In season 3, it's about the residents of an apartment - gays, cheaters, gamers, students etc. It's just a mix of very different characters and that's why it made the story-telling so intriguing and mesmerising.

But the gore, though, I don't advise people to watch season 3 while eating. I had a little hard time swallowing food while watching.

The story in season 3 is solid, and the suspense is interesting. It's even better than Scream. But, unfortunately, season 4 isn't produced by Netflix and is not on Netflix. Which is a shame, because I really wish to watch it.

2022 is Here!

I wish I can be very excited that a brand new year has landed, but to be honest, as one ages, such excitement fades. For me, it's just, meh.

Alright, so we've survived 2021, which was an incredibly dull year. I have been stuck in Singapore for the 2nd year now, with the whole of 2021 I spent grounded in a tiny nation that can offer me no solace other than survival for a new year.

Anyway, with Omicron being less severe, and a booster shot about to be administered, I'll be returning to sweet Malaysia in a few months time.

I'll be home. 2022, please be a good year to me.
