2023 Roundup

• Another year of more femes people checking out this mortal coil. 
• There's just been loads of exhibitions in malls this year for some reason: Van Gogh, Tim Burton... too many to name. Great way to draw traffic to the malls they're in, I guess but still. 
• RIP, Book Depository.
• It's too bad Anthony Loke isn't also in charge of Immigration Department, cos I'm all for 10 year driver's license, but 10 year passport can or not ah?
• One gig this year: Muse's second time back after 15 years in Bukit Jalil. 
• First time Coldplay perform in Malaysia and people on my timeline is suddenly a fan (who has never copped to it ah) and managed to get tickets and I couldn't. NGL, still salty, but wouldn't want to try to leave the cesspool that is Bukit Jalil with almost 80,000 people afterwards, so ya la. Anyhow, going down south again for the first of their 6 night run next month, so I'll get over it. At least I didn't open a CIMB account LOL
• Tax on low value goods was on, off and back again next week/year. Oh wells. 
• This year in American TV and movies kinda went on hiatus cos of the months-long writers' and actors' strikes, so everything is postponed in February. 
• We still don't know what's gonna happen over at The Daily Show. 
• Adios, enticement law. 
• Another Malaysian comic managed to sell/get their special on Netflix this year. (Yeah, apparently you can sell your own comedy specials to them [so I hear], provided you follow their specifications or whatever). Congrats, you know who you are. 
• Kinda sad that NCIS: Los Angeles ended its 14 year run, but let's be real, a bit hard to imagine those people still doing their jobs any longer... unless you're LL Cool J, who just got picked up by NCIS: Hawaii. NCIS: Sydney is kinda promising.
