So yeah, 2014 was not quite a vintage year for so many
reasons. But I’ll leave the recapping of the list of horrors to the others and
just share with you lot some of the stuff I enjoyed from the year. And yes,
bring on 2015 already!
Live Show
WWE “Live” In Kuala Lumpur
It took the WWE some 12 years to return, but the divas and
superstars put up quite a memorable show at the Putra Stadium this past
October. Hey, it even made Tia a wrestling fan
now!
App
Waze
I keep complaining that this does NOT look like the future
yet (where are THE FLYING CARS?), but Waze has made me a believer (somewhat). An app that
tells you how long it’ll take to get to somewhere and show you the best
route? So simple, yet undoubtedly a
precious gift to all of humanity (especially if you live in the Klang Valley
and need to negotiate the evil LDP).
CD
X by Ed Sheeran
12 weeks at no 1 on the albums chart and deservedly so.
Sheeran is truly one of the most consistently good pop artists out there
today. Or shall I say, “storyteller”
instead?
Movie
Interstellar
Sure I had some complaints about it, but it was also the
only movie that haunted my thoughts (and dreams), for a good few weeks. And
just thinking about it now still bugs me a whole lot!
Of course, I also have to mention Mamak Cupcake, the first
film I wrote for the silver screen. And considering how brutal the local box-office
was in 2014, it managed to make quite a bit of money too : ) Do look out for my
next film, “Showdown” (working title), out in cinemas in 2015!
TV Show
The Walking Dead
What a great year for TV. So many great shows, so little
time. Thanks astro for the PVR function (which I’m paying through the nose for,
incidentally). And my pick of the lot was again TWD, which has turned out to be
gorier (burning zombies, woot!) and more complex than ever. Best part? The season still ain’t over yet!
But I do have to give shoutouts to the likes of Sherlock, Newsroom, The House Of Cards, The
Voice, The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Game Of Thrones, Masterchef (!)
for a year of awesome TV.
Restaurant
KGB
Back to burger basics! Yup, we frequented a lot of the same
places we love this year, but Killer Gourmet Burgers (in Bangsar and Mid Valley) is our favourite "new" burger joint at the moment.
Vacation Moment
Whales In South Australia
 |
| Look closely for whales :) |
We went to Adelaide in late May and took a drive down to
Victor Harbor where we saw some whales from the coast. Yup, free
whale-watching!
London Moment
Walking On Glass (Literally)
I’ve walked across the Tower Bridge hundreds of times, but
never thought of going up, until now. It’s not that far up, but walking on
glass over the Thames is probably not for the faint-hearted : )
Run Event
Kuching Marathon
Spent more time in the gym this past year, so I ended up
running in only ONE event. But Kuching was nice and pretty. If only I didn’t
finish that far behind. Hehe.
Have a Happy New Year, folks!
