Have you ever watched so much TV, to the point that when you stop looking at the bright screen and look at your surroundings, you feel like you are in a dream. And at anytime now, you should wake up to the last point in time when you were the happiest.
To the point that, you don't want to stop watching. Because you know that you will never wake up. And where you are now, it is reality, and you cannot bring back that happiness.
To the point that, whenever someone texts you, you don't even want to respond, because what is the point. Those people do not rely on you. They do not need you. They are not the one you really want to be texting you.
Sidetracked. The main point was really that I have been hooked on American Horror Story.
Initially, I was too afraid to start in case I found it too scary. But being a person who enjoys horror, I found it thrilling and with such good story lines. You forget it is horror. Every season is something different and something to look forward to.
I can't pinpoint which season is my favourite but they're all absurd, vulgar and brilliant altogether.
What I really enjoyed, is the fact that the same actors/actresses appear in all seasons, playing various characters, truly portraying their acting abilities. They are truly amazing actors/actresses!! Really absorbing into the new characters, different names, different roles, different levels of crazy!
If you have the guts for this, seriously, this is an era changing TV series.
But note that after binge watching this for days/ weeks, I became quite dark and needed a break from it. Not long though, before I craved for more of the crazy.
Think this might be even better than Game of Thrones ><
With the world being so small nowadays, all we want to do is travel.
and now that I have come to understand more of the New Zealand ways of life, I see that all people want to do is graduate then do their OE "Overseas Experience" in London.
For me, I take it that I have already done this "OE" since I moved here from Malaysia for university. So the last thing I wanted to do was uproot again. However, because you see their travel stories, it makes me think maybe, just maybe, I might do it.
It is picking up hobbies that actually makes me want to stay in a place for long. For example, recently, I have been reading up on gardening. I bought a mint plant and am trying to keep it alive for once. If you are like me, who loves food, but hates dirt and all things insects, you will understand how this will be challenging hobby. But I love trying new things, so this will be my 2016 to do list!
I have picked up some wooden pallets (heat treated so that it is safe to use) and decided on building a salad table. This is because they are all moveable and shallow planting, i.e. less soil!
My goal, is to have some kale, baby spinach, lettuce, coriander and basil. I'm not sure when I will complete this project though. In the mean time, I am trying to save my little mint plant from dying.
Some people are not meant to plant, i.e. me (I have gone through 2 mint plants and an oregano) but this year I am trying to change things.
Do you feel this way about planting too?

Since I'm not in a relationship and most of my mates are, sometime you just don't feel like bugging the couples to accompany you for a movie!
So I decided since movies are anti-social activities anyway, I'll do it on my own. And who says having lunch in a restaurant on your own is a bad thing?
I visited PappaRich to try their Chilli Pan Mee which is the only place I know in Auckland that sells it. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much so this met my expectation. But, I think I'll stick with my home made recipe even though it takes a lot of effort.
The movie today was - STAR WARS VII: The Force Awakens
I watched it in IMAX 3D and it was epic. Especially when I just spent my entire long weekend having a Star Wars marathon. This was the cream on the top.
Was fun watching all the old characters reunite, and who can resist the "ngawing" of Chewbacca! I want a furry animal friend too.
Was definitely a space opera. Give it a shot and immerse yourself in this fantasy world, you might like it!
