Term break

It's been a long while since I've blogged! 

Anyway, just some updates about this semester, I've become the Vice-President of Economics Society (after much obstacles and difficulties). 

I've had some friendship problems, both with old and new friends. So far, those problems seem to have either been resolved or simply faded into oblivion for now. 

Dion has moved out of hall. I feel sad (a little betrayed initially) about that.

Exams are finally over. This semester was very hectic and just showed me how overloading can actually prove to be tiring.

I've finally gotten to watching movies at the cinema, after a long while. I watched Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them with my family. It was a pretty feel-good movie and really made me want to read Harry Potter books. But then again, I've been saying that for the longest time but haven't actually gotten around to doing it yet. 

I then watch Doctor Strange by myself. Yeap, myself. The movie was kind of exciting but it did not wow me at the same time. I'm not sure, it felt more like an introduction into the world of Doctor Strange so I guess it's as if we know something big is supposed to happen but it doesn't actually happen in the movie??? Hmm. Oh and Rachel McAdams acts in the movie so yay!! She's still so pretty hee.

At home, I just recently finished reading a whole book. Yes, that's a great accomplishment considering that I have not managed to do that for almost a whole year (according to my memory at least). It's called The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair and you can read the review in the post below.

I just started watching a korean drama called Goblin. It's only 2 episodes into the story but the beginning proves to be promising!! The cinematography is really amazing. The soundtrack also gives it this otherworldly atmosphere which is very fitting of the story. Furthermore, I feel like the story is very similar to those manga stories that I've always read about. Except that this korean drama manages to incorporate all those elements inside in a tasteful manner :)

I've also just finished watching the korean movie Secretly, Greatly. Despite some disappointing reviews about it online, I thought the movie was great. It manages to contrast what is known as the ordinary life versus the spy life, bringing about the human aspect of the main characters. The ending was kind of shitty because I felt some elements of it, like how Ryu Hwan becomes emotionally helpless at the end, was kind of stupid and dragged out. But overall, I really liked the nostalgic feeling that the movie gave off at the end as we reminisce about the ordinary life that they had a taste of.

As you can see, my life during the term break has been just that of lazing around in the house. I did try to find work, but I think that I gain higher utility from leisure (against consumption). I've finally finished buying all my secret santa gifts yay! I've also made my first sort-of kimchi which turned out quite okay.

Gonna end off here!
