New Stuffs to Do When in PKP/MC0

Note: It is now Day 33 of MC0 and I feel we are all getting a lil crazy. 

You know how people keeps on saying that during all this time we are forced to stay at home we should learn a new skill or gain knowledge. Well that would be nice. But also be free to not feel like we have to do all this stuff. This is a life altering event that is damaging to our health, economy and mental well being. The main aim is to flatten the curve and get through it with us and our loved ones alive. So... sometimes we need to keep this in mind.

Now back to the usual rambles of...  

What I have been doing in this PKP or MC0? 

- Making sure all the kids got their online classes without issues. It is such a hassle. But you know. We have to do it. But it such a hassle! 

- Making sure all the homeworks get to the kids, then to the teacher. I swear arr, I feel like I have my own homework and deadlines to keep up with all the printing, screenshotting, overseeing and the scanning I have to do. 

- The cooking and washing dishes. Oh my God. So many meals, so many dishes. When this is all over I just wanna NOT COOK for 3 days. I think 3 days should be a nice limit right. We can't eat outside forever. 

- Exercising. I lost weight I tell you! 8kg! Woohoo! I did portion control, lessen my sugar intake and went up and down the stairs 30 times at least and more. Of course this past 2 days I had been relapsing, sigh. I am only human. There were cakes! And I am so tired! But I don't want all this effort to go to waste so I will restart again okeh. Which is why I haven't yet made the famed Dalgona Coffee. Apart from menggunakan alasan diet to not do it, I feel it is easy enough tapi the real reason is that I really malas to break out the mixer la. I did make the bread pudding caramel because everyone was hogging gardenia at one point. Mad. (I also haven't made my own bread). 


My bread pudding. The kids love it and it does feel like it is good for kids because it is kinda filling. I prefer the usual creme caramel. 

- Trying to color. Not like I have all the time. I started on this particular Klimt page few months back dan baru habis sekarang. That took some effort I tell you.



- Bought a game in Steam. I bought 2 Points Hospital game which is based very strongly on the old beloved game I love which was the Theme Hospital.

The game is almost identical and it wasn't hard for me to start off since I am already familiar with the old one, so I can play the game happily immediately. The pics are from my phone because I can't be arsed to see how I can screenshot it using my MAC.






- I had also banned TV time during the weekdays. I feel this is kinda hard on them but also I feel this is good. I just wanted to encourage play if they are not doing their school work. Not just stuck watching TV all the time.

- Now while I know we should save, I am looking at Cotton On Body and itching to buy their bras. I love their lingerie because it is comfy and it is on sale. And let me look at it again!

So long for now!

Park Bo Young - Bests of

I love Park Bo Young. 

First of all she is so darn cute. Secondly she is the same height like me. So aku jua boleh bajet cute pendek like her!!! ( Ah let me have my fantasy) . 

I can't review all of her drama series since I didn't watch all of her works. Come on. I have my limits. 

So I will review the last 3 she was in... 

I won't go into much details. Just going with the flow here. So here... from worst to best. 


ABYSS



Plot:  
Cha Min ( An Se Ha) and Ko Se-Yeon (PBY) died, and they came back from the dead looking completely different from their old self. There is also the main mystery of the series - which is finding and catching the serial killer who killed Se Yeon.

Review: 
Absolutely a waste of my time. I hate it so much.  I wanna pile on it more but really, it is just not worth it. Just NO.

Was Park Bo Young OK in this?
She absolutely nailed it of course, especially when she have to play dual roles. But that's to be expected. She is a good actress.

Chemistry with the male lead :
Nada. I hate it. I don't know why but I am not feeling it. Maybe the guy damn kayu one? I feel like he is still finding his groove. You know who she had massive chemistry with? Lee Si Un. Yes, he is not that attractive in the usual pretty boy kdrama style, but when they banter with each other I swear I want them to hook up!

Best work? She did her best. But no. Because the script is such a massive pile of *****, nothing is redeeming.


OH MY GHOST





Plot :
Bong Sun ( PBY) who have a timid personality ,can see ghost ever since she was little. Then one day she got possessed by a ghost who is obsessed with sleeping with a guy because the ghost was convinced that she can't move on to the afterlife because she was a virgin. Suddenly the timid Bong Sun changes personality overnight to a brash impulsive girl and goes after the head chef/owner Sun Woo ( Cho Jung Seok). There's also a mystery involving some murders.

Review:
It was good. It changes from fun to dark quite suddenly but it doesn't feel like completely out of the left field. I love all of the actors here actually, they all played well with each other and are so so good at their characters. The transition of Bong Sun coming onto her own frustrated me a little, because I think they should have emphasized on it more so it does seems the romance is a bit  " Really?" . But still a highly recommended watch.

Was PBY great in here? 
Yes. Like I said she played dual roles well, and in here she absolutely shines. I love her more as the brash ghost personality though.

Chemistry with the male lead?
They did ok. It was reasonably romantic but it is also confusing to the male lead and the viewers in where exactly the affection lies with. The ghost or timid Bong Sun. Like I said before, it makes the romance seems off a bit because in my view the real interaction was when Sun Woo was interacting with the ghost. But honestly I think they tried their best there so I am fine with it.

Best work?
She is good here but I feel like there was still something quite lacking.


STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON



Plot:
Bong Soon (PBY) was born with a supernatural strength ability. She is ridiculously strong in a superhero way in a cute way, and because of that during her run in with a mob, Min Hyuk (Park Hyung Sik) a CEO of a game company who happened to witness her ability was hopelessly besotted and impressed. Which leads to him offering Bong Soon a job. There's also a mystery involving series of kidnappings. I am seeing a pattern here with PBY

Review: 
It was great fun kdrama. It was funny, Park Bo Young looks like she is having fun with this role and Park Hyung Sik and Ji Soo was also equally charming. The dark mystery kinda spoiled it a bit but it doesn't go really dark all the way, only the last few eps. 

Was PBY great in here? 
She was at her best. She absolutely shines in this role actually. She pouts, sulks, fall in love and kicks ass effortlessly. I really believe she enjoyed every second of it and it showed in her work. 

Chemistry with the lead? 
Hell to the YES! This couple gives me tingling butterflies! Park Hyung Sik could look at anyone so meltingly. Even Ji Soo is so achingly great in his interaction with PBY in this drama. My heart breaks for him a bit. 

Best work? 
Her best drama to date where it was fun and we love seeing her in it. 


Extra:



I had also seen the movie On Her Wedding Day. I think it was a really good sweet poignant movie. A must watch to appreciate Park Bo Young talent fully in a movie where it is less rigid compare to a kdrama. 





2023 Recaps
