2016. July

Brr...it's truly Winter now and I have the heater consistently on and off, there I am trying to conserve energy but then the cool air hits my body, legs and my feet, till I find those nice slipper knitted socks the heater is the intermittent solution. Can't believe it's been so long since I've posted her on my blog and its been over half a year!

Winter is here... time to stock up on vitamin C tablets, get your favourite quilted knee and leather ankle boots... put on that snugly woolen scarf, heatech top with a sweater layered on top and trek to the shops, a warm cafe to catch up with friends or a pokemon adventure - but please mind your step and where you venture.

TVB TV fix Wrap of 2016 Must watch

• Presume Accidents - 8/10- Immortal human, love hate relationships, dedicated loyalty, super powers, unconditional love, unexpected twist, turns and stories, depth behind characters and the reason the way they are doing what they do, friendships, this show has it all if you like a bit of scifi in the modern themed story. Featuring Lawrence Ng and Sisley Choi.
• Veins  7.5/10- starring Kevin Cheng, Grace Chan and Kaye Tse ( her first debut performance as an actress). A more new lineup of casts, Kevin is cool and collected in this film - air of confidence and being fearless and know it all, don't want to spoilt it but he has some super powers you will need to find out about! Kaye is sweet and always loving to her friends and family. Great effort given it is her first performance, she just emits elegance in the way she talks and dresses. As the title suggest its about vampires - so it really depends if you are into this supernatural type of story. The song features two great songs - if not for the story - these two songs will keep you hooked onto the series.
• Over Run Over 9.5/10 - This is by far my favourite series, you need to patient however. Past the first five episodes then the good story line and unfolding of the story really begins! If you like action, romance, time travel, supernatural themes and humour this series is for you. Think of Ground Hog day meets Edge of Tomorrow!

Movie Fix

• Star Wars - 7/10 - Everything you expect from a sequel but not overwhelming but nothing too outstanding, if they had removed some of the cheesy lines it would of been better, didn't feel enough  chemistry between the lead actor and actress. BB8 gave it brownie points for sure! Don't forget to check out the Google Storm Trooper saber game, that works with your phone as a saber light that is really awesome!
• Batman vs Superman 7/10 - Something didn't up stack up there, it was too much of your typical superhero movie, lacked depth, and the characters were too dark.
• Captain America - 8/10 - strong story line, star studded cast, humour, action, lots of cameo characters, spiderman pops in too, what more can you ask for? and Arrow Man?
• Jungle Book - 7.5/10 - Great graphics, good music, good adaptation, bit dark for children however. It doesn't have the 'Disney' in it.
• Alice through the Looking Glass - 8/10 - I love a bit of the parallel world, fantasy characters, time travel and all that in between :) Makes you really think after the movie - and the theme of it is TIME.
• X-Men - must see list - about hypnotism, team work, and speedy guy character
• Independence Day 2 - must see list 
• Secret Life of Pets - I have been longing to see this for so long now... waiting waiting... for it to be in Australia in September.

Quick Fast Food Fix

• Crispy Cluckers $14 - spicy sauce, side of salad, chicken salt (optional) fresh chips, boneless chicken AND a bottle of water or softdrink can
• Daruma bento box Karage $8.80 - Delicious fresh plus miso soup - their agadeshi tofu is top notch. 
• Ajisen Ramen takoyaki $6 - if you go at the right time and its served hot, their takoyaki is piping hot and textured.
• Makoto hand rolls
• T- Noodles $10.80 NEW store - Braised beef noodles and pig intenstine spicy noodles, their noodles are comparable to that of DTF (Ding Tai Fung) style!
