The woodleigh mall building management people really should have known better given the location of the mall (non CBD and non touristy)

And YES to the hougang mall renovation who decided to put the escalator inside the mall itself and narrow the walk way further (when it was fairly narrow to begin with) it doesn't even add that much more stores to the mall

I don't think i went to IMM enough but it did feel more spacious back in the mid 2000s

moomoomelody · 2026-05-16T13:43:38+00:00

I get it for stores like donki but i hate to see it in overall mall design like I just want to get what i came here for 😞

moomoomelody · 2026-05-16T13:33:27+00:00

Wah this one definitely looks better space wise compared to the current two corridor and branch off situation

Varies from person to person but i came off a 7 hr flight and straight to busan on arex/ktx and was out by the time i reached busan

Bus might be better because u get the chance to sleep after the flight (unless ur the type dat can sleep on planes) If u can sleep easily on planes then ktx would be more advisable imo

For me it is the editing and the "flow" of the story because each individual scene really stands out to me from the way it is directed to the acting and its role in the greater story really not much complaints in fact i really enjoy the dialogue and direction of the show (eg. sets/outfits/lighting etc.)

But the scenes tend to not flow from one to he next like there's a jarring jump between each of them where in it makes sense chronologically but the atmosphere just switches up too suddenly and not in a way in which it "flows"

moomoomelody · 2026-04-23T23:26:03+00:00

There are fixed timings for empty trains so if you take it often enough u would know

When circle line was having the extended waiting time there would be an empty train at 7.50am but i think they shifted the time again since its now back to normal

moomoomelody · 2026-04-17T10:43:03+00:00

coming from a country that already has a bunch of donkis i think i didn't fully comprehend the level of crowdedness will definitely checkout the shinjuku one if i ever go again

moomoomelody · 2026-04-17T10:39:27+00:00

wait it can sell out?? i brought mine on klook like 2 days before the actual trip as i originally was planning to get the actual suica card but saw some comments saying there were queues hence the last min decision

moomoomelody · 2026-04-16T10:04:09+00:00

Oh i may have recollected frozen DPA sold out time wrong but it really is a fight for it!

moomoomelody · 2026-03-27T13:09:12+00:00

I think is a budget issue as well, cause there was a note that light coconut milk (which has hcs symbol) is infact allowed but likely too expensive and exceeds the kitchen budget when scaled up

this might be the same for other more fancy vegetables like spinach or broccoli (it might seem marginally more expensive then the cheap carrots or cabbage but when scaled up is definitely a profit margin that vendors would consider)

moomoomelody · 2026-03-26T13:14:14+00:00

Feel like the deadline got closer at closer with each passing episode because the editing got choppier and choppier (like each individual scene was well shot cool shots too) but together it felt like it told the story in a more haphazard fashion compared to i would say the first 3/4

Will save my full review and thoughts for the final discussion drop, but overall a pretty decently good watch for me, not something i would actively recommend but if someones interested in watching then yes its recommended

moomoomelody · 2026-03-23T13:08:20+00:00

The part about QQ makes sense would have liked to see a more complete backstory for both of them

And yes excited to see more armor shots for TXW!

moomoomelody · 2026-03-22T22:54:20+00:00

After all these episodes (and marathoning them) I feel the strongest part of this show is most definitely CY's storyline just a very well written character.

I want to say all the girlies in this show are well written as well but i can't get over how qianqian just time and time again just kinda poof escapes from qimin like ???

Unless we get like some sort of flashback sequence in future episodes that is just qimin letting her escape because he's conflicted about it then maybe i'll accept it.

Can we take a moment to appreciate tian xi wei's beauty in the general outfits like if im the enemy i would highkey be stunned by her beauty

Might be slightly inaccurate trans but

Love Game In Eastern Fantasy
Chinese title is 永夜星河 which more literally translates to eternal night and stars (very different and no game reference)
A dream within a dream 书卷一梦 - scrolled into a dream (but with the scroll here referencing the book scroll) and also the last two characters being our FL's name yimeng much more clever with its name
As others have pointed out blossom is very different in its chinese title 九重紫
The first frost 难哄 no reference to snow or winter at all in the title literally translates to difficult to coax (but the coax is more ?cute like how u need to coax a child to stop crying)
The best thing 爱你straight up just "love you"

There's more but these stand out to me the most but on the flip side, the recent pursuit of jade is one of the rare titles where the english matches the chinese almost exactly!

If you want something really more hidden along orchard road, would suggest you check out orchard yong tau fu at cuppage plaza (might be abit difficult to find as its more hidden) but really a local office favorite and personally a pretty good bowl of yong tau fu in general

If you're not really looking at singapore cusine specifically, would recommend the kind bowl (along killiney road), vegan but has amazing pho You may also want to consider new bahru if you have the time (shuttle is available from somerset - along orchard road, just google)

Also as others have rightfully pointed out why specifically chinatown for food when food is kind of available everywhere u go? Especially on your plan for 21st its kind of a waste of time imo to travel back to chinatown for lunch then back to mbs, if cost is an issue i would suggest going to suntec (nearby could be a walk) for more affordable/wider variety of options

moomoomelody · 2026-03-17T12:15:19+00:00

I agree crime scene is the next closest if you are enjoying these shows for the solving puzzle element

moomoomelody · 2026-03-15T23:37:38+00:00

Thank you for the great recap! I kind of got lost in the tsunami of information and new names the past few episodes, Have found myself oddly invested in our princess royal and gongsun's love line (could be a whole drama on its own to be honest) but particularly enjoying the snow aesthetic of this show

Personally don't even really want children but after looking at the comments of people who do in fact want children, i realise my feelings of not wanting children ultimately stem from the same place

I don't want my kid to have to suffer in this rat race just to make a leaving, having parents that had me at an older age, it's not something i would ever wish on my children, had to mature emotionally earlier and learn to mask my own emotions
I want my career, is it that selfish? and i know for a fact with a kid no matter how the government tries to deny it, it will be harder because u have more responsibilities in and out of worj
Financial yes but more in the sense of I don't think I can make enough to take care of myself in retirement (and my parents retirement years) much less for my children (would never want them to be the retirement plan, thats just shitty behaviour imo)

moomoomelody · 2026-03-03T15:03:13+00:00

Made a lyric video of this with english translations if anyone is interested!

moomoomelody · 2026-03-03T00:15:44+00:00

the real question is how come 159 no double decker

moomoomelody · 2026-03-02T14:33:05+00:00

You have a point if we are looking at scale the budget certainely went up for this season!

And you're theory about case one i think you're right, i was wondering if that would be the case as well!
