Week 37, 2021

  • Klang Valley is now on Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan since Friday? At least now can go to KL and vice versa, etc.
  • Now that more shops are open, second home has started charging parking again, *whomp whomp* (actually since last week la, but yeah)
  • No wonder MUJI is discontinuing their existing membership program; they're now moving to an app... 
  • Mum thinks there's been a rat scuttling around the house. Good news: it's been found; bad news: it got its dumb ass caught in a glue trap. 
  • I didn't know that until recently, kids born to Malaysian mums overseas don't get automatic Malaysian citizenship (to be fair, not something I have to think about), but I also didn't know that they get to have multiple citizenships/passports at least until they're 18 or 21 when they have to choose one or the other (since Malaysia doesn't allow for more than one citizenship). But as of this week, some High Court judge thought it was high time that those kids get to be Malaysian at least for a little while. Kind of like being a kid member at the Royal Lake Club LOL. What I don't understand is why the gahmen was so adamant on not letting the mums confer the citizenship to their kids...? 
  • Cinemas and other entertainment venues are finally getting to open again, subject to whatever SOP they're subject to. Both GSC and TGV have already come out ahead to say they still need more time to prepare for opening, which I guess is code for "we need to clean the seats and clear the air first"?  
  • Another Singapore company going under: Reebonz is now undergoing liquidation. Yeah, those consignors are not gonna see their money any time soon.
  • Radiohead is releasing three albums soon, two of them re-releases of Amnesiac and Kid A, the third an album of unreleased tracks (Kid Amnesiae). It all sounds kinda cash grab-by if you ask me, but good on them lah. (I like Radiohead, but not enough for this). 
  • So Mulaney went on Late Night this week and told the story of his eventful (AF) year since he was last there: got divorced, got an intervention, went to rehab a few times, and is now dating Olivia Munn (I don't know who is above who's league in this relationship, but I'll say she's above his) and is about to be a father. That kid is going to saddled with all kinds of guilt, both the Asian guilt and the white Catholic guilt LOL 
  • You know you're an #eldermillennial when news of a new video from Blue's Clues Steve made the rounds and your only response was "meh" because you were not the show's target demo LOL. If you're a toddler or a parent back then I can see why this would resonate, as it did when Steve went on Colbert's show here.
  • Awfully Chocolate (out of Singapore) is selling Harry Potter branded mooncakes this year. Erm, okay?
