These are the and that I plan to catch up with this year. I have a feeling I may end up dropping The Legends, because I have very little patience for xianxia, but since it stars Xu Kai maybe I'll give it more of a chance :P

Dear marketers,
I was one of you, so I get your pain, but for godsakes do not send me unnecessary emails praising me for doing whatever shit on your app or when I earn a stoopid badge!!
Like, send me an email about discounts, useful webinars or new deals - things I CARE about!

Terima kasih

The project was held back for the longest time due to corruption allegations. I hope it goes forward smoothly soon. Am impatient for Malaysia to have its own HSR 😊

Episode 11: Joy of Life season 2

In this episode, I talk about the megahit that is Joy of Life. Season 2 has finally landed after 5 long years. Did it meet fans' expectations?

OK - is it too early to start whining that S3 of Joy of Life isn’t out yet?!

I am in withdrawal!

Still gonna stand with my Fan Fan flag firmly planted in my #cdrama hill that Joy of Life, Winter Begonia, Long Night in Chang’an and Wind Blows from Yonxi are among the greatest TV series ever produced.

Superb work.

To paraphrase director Bong Joon-ho, a couple of inches of subtitling opens worlds of art!

Learned a new Chinese insult today

脏黄瓜
"zāng huáng guā"
Or "dirty cucumber 🥒"

Basically refers to a manwhore 🤣

Follow me on and you will learn the best insults in several languages. This is 文化 （wénhuà, culture ) after all 😆

Whoa didn't expect BFM to interview Vijay Prashad hehe. It's a funny feeling to see people you listen to in alt media circuits to appear in regular msm channels in Malaysia!

@LifeTimeCooking it's best with sambal (a type of chilli paste) but a lot times I just stir fry them 😆

@thepoliticalcat I could never successfully grow tomatoes for some reason lol. But lettuce, yes. Always good to have a pot!

liztai,
@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

@LifeTimeCooking They're pretty easy to cultivate! Just cut the stems, soak in water, wait for roots to appear and plant. But they're very water hungry, so be sure to constantly water them.

@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

@LifeTimeCooking that is actually a good idea. I use a clay pot irrigation system https://youtu.be/0MDQsydIGlg?si=uO4oPFSt034W6KrS

I’m reminded - as I chortle at some witticism in the writing of the brilliant Joy of Life S2 - that the web novelist Mao Ni, who wrote the original JoL novel, also wrote The Outcast.

That went on to become the very popular young adult series, I Am Nobody.

It had a real meets Buffy Vampire Slayer/Stranger Things vibe and at its core it was funny, smart and witty.

@AnnaAnthro no wonder the male leads feel similar!
