I just saw Crazy Rich Asians and I loved it. Not just because I have a girl crush on Constance Wu (and her dimples), but it was so satisfying to have a proper rom-com on the big screen for once, where I actually could understand why the main couple are in love and their affection for each other made sense.

Plus it was delightfully filmed – I laughed, I cried, I know exactly what kind of over-the-top wedding I want, and I lost count of the chocoabs scenes. 

I need Constace Wu to become the new Julia Roberts and the queen of rom-coms (or anything she wants, tbh – I just need her to star in all the things from now on). I wanna be Awkwafina’s BFF and I definitely wish I could give my mum a hug right now.

One of these days, too, I’ll make my way to Singapore where I’ll spend half my time on Satay Street. (Hey, I have my priorities!)

Just finished watching the movie version of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (on Netflix, if anyone is wondering) and it was lovely.

The book is, of course, better, but I feel that the film stands on its own and I’ll likely end up rewatching it a few more times when I want something comforting, so it has a home in my queue for now.

I went to a wedding and it was fun and great but also weddings are exhausting for a socially anxious person but I’m home now in my pj’s and telling myself to wash my face even though my makeup still looks amaaaaaaaaazing and I want to hold onto this moment a little longer.
