I feel like I want to continue writing about what I've watched.

1- Inbetweeners UK. Go watch the series if you haven't. It's the only series that had made me laugh out loud for every single episode except one. Seriously.

The appeal for this series
. Only 3 seasons, with 6 episodes for each season
. Relatable characters. They are so average
. When I say 'relatable', I didn't mean that it reminded me of my own teenage years. I didn't grow up in the UK, my friends and I weren't trying to lose our virginities or anything like that. But, I definitely remember the talk that my guy friends and I had about female stuff. Like, the different kinds of bras and about periods, and it was hilarious.
We also would ask questions like- have you ever masturbated before? And I particularly remember this one boy said never. We were 18 years old. Now, I know he was lying!

I got spanked one time by a classmate and I didn't know that was inappropriate until years later. I remember the parties we attended, how it was so exciting to go to KL on Merdeka eve and New Year eve, go clubbing and came home at 3-4am. Urgh. I could only do that if I slept over my friend's house. Her mom was quite cool about it because her older cousins would bring us out and drove us wherever, and we can trust her cousins. Questionable... (-___-)
One of her older cousin introduced us to porn also!

And by morning, her mom would prepare brunch for us. Haha. Life was easy and so much fun, then.

So, relatable to me in that sense.

2. Watched La La Land and love it. More like, I love how the film make me feel. I travelled back in time while watching it. Brought memories how in love I was with my boyfriends, some less than the others, but those happiness...The feelings of falling in and out of love...I like that. <3 p="">
3. My friend suggested The Fault In Our Stars. Because of his recommendations, he said, "I like the lines used in the film," I expected it to be Wow. It wasn't for me. In fact, it was a little bit annoying.

They are a bit too young for real love. Augustus is too good looking and charming to be someone who never had sex before, let alone no girls would fall for him. Ridiculous.

And the travelling to Amsterdam, meeting your favourite writer, and suddenly havr terminal cancer stage 4, when you look so fine, not even pale, skinny or fatigue...Come on...

And also, this cancer boy went to Amsterdam without his parents. And it was his first ever flying experience. No parents!

I really don't understand why you people like this film so much.

4. I also watched many futuristic films. But they are mostly depressing. Can you imagine being in outer space, all lonely and back. Floating in nothingness...

5. Andddd...Did you guys manage to see The Phantom Of The Opera by The Shows Must Go On on Youtube? It was up for 48 hours only. What a way to spend your time in isolation!

I've always liked theatres, started when I was in college, introduced by a friend who went to SSP (Sekolah Seri Puteri). Apparently, these elite girls were exposed to the culture since they were very young. Been hooked since. I've also watched theatres and ballet performances in a few European countries, and when my kids are a little older, I am going to force them to watch with me (because my husband doesn't enjoy it).

I've brought my kids to Siti Di Alam Fantasi and they certainly enjoyed the show, especially my eldest. He laughed and laughed...Good times.

And a great excuse to dress up, my favourite part of going to theatres. Haha.
