How's life ya'll?
I haven't been active here for a long time, because for a long time there hasn't been anything interesting to update.
So I thought I just randomly insert a topic as a record, to keep the liveability of my blog.
I love Netflix. I'm sure many of you know. And I favour watching TV dramas over movies.
But I have a pet peeve. After watching a few American drama, I had a tendency and urge to find a British/Australian drama to indulge in instead, because a change in taste is always welcoming and refreshing. Believe it or not, there are many subtle differences between productions of different countries, and these minor ones make quite a huge difference.
That is when I stumbled upon Wentworth. I did not think the show would be to my liking, seeing it's about all female cast in a prison. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sexist - it's just that I usually like crime drama, not soap operas, and Wentworth strikes me as one.But the show received critical acclaim, so I thought, why not give it a try?
And I did.
And holy mother f*cking God. The show was awesome.
Granted I've finished only season 1 and am in the middle of season 2. But honestly speaking, I thought season 1 itself was mind-blowing, but season 2 proved me wrong - it blew my already blown mind. I am afraid to say, I do not know whether I'll receive season 3 as well, or better, or worse.
The hard work put in to produce such a stellar show was amazing. I do not understand how I did not learn to appreciate this and let it slide for so long.
For those of you who like crime dramas, trust me, Wentworth is absolutely worth watching.
Great that you're doing well Teenblue!
ReplyDeleteNow that you're in your early 30's, I'm wondering on whether you've finally decided you wanna permanently reside in SG, or you plan to return back to Malaysia in years to come?
Because I stumbled across a post over in Lowyat.net forum - where the original poster lamented on how conflicted he was in wanting to return back to hometown and live a chill/laid-back retirement life over in Malaysia. That, or he could just remain abroad and only return to his hometown once in a while just for the sake of visiting family during short stints of vacations.
It kinda sad that Malaysia doesn't accept dual-citizenship, so sooner or later any Malaysian who's staying abroad for a couple of years whilst earning a PR/citizenship/green card might have to take a stand. While we're on it, I'm curious to know on what are your top factors when it comes to making a decision - food? Prices? Or you don't mind exploring more new places and get out of your comfort zone in new environment/culture before you wanna settle down?
Just a thought that I had when I read that post.
Hi there. I don't really know who you are though haha but thanks for being a reader. Sorry for the late reply as I've become a lot less active on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI have not decided where I want to stick around, but at the moment I have no reasons to return to Malaysia. I prefer to keep my options open - I might return if I can, or if good opportunities arise, but at the moment that's not something I am considering. I guess I've just kind of settled down and used to life in SG.
