Once, I was on the “one-book-a month” path. I’ll scroll through Instagram and keep bumping to the posts that says “10 books you should read before you die”.

So I scoured Amazon/Kindle for these interesting books to read. If I am feeling a pinch in my wallet, I’ll head to my local library to check their availability.

Eventually I came up with a category – DNF (did not finish). I learnt later that it is ok, normal even to not finish a book if it doesn’t suit your reading style. No shame in it.

This year (2025) I have expanded this DNF category to my online viewing.

I scrolled through Prime Video and watched a few old movies; especially those tagged with “Leaving Prime soon”.

I watched ‘Me Before You’ which was not that bad (my lady colleagues were surprised I watched it). Maybe I looked like the “tough, buffed bloke who only watch gritty, gory movies? (:D) Emilia Clarke’s colourful fashion style and her childish, goofy laugh would be the thing I enjoyed most. I was asked whether I cried in any of the scene; fortunately I didn’t.

Then I rewatched Dexter – the original one that got me glued to the laptop screen back then. The opening theme song brings back memories.

And then, I started watching ‘Anyone But You’. oooohhh – emmmm – jeeeeee!
OMG!!!!

I thought Sydney Sweeney cuteness would be the glue that kept me to the screen. Not the case. I kept pausing and coming back to the movie, hoping that it would get better…but it just doesn’t. I have watched 32 mins, and about 71 minutes left from the movie. Definitely not sparing my time for the rest of the movie, maybe on a 3x speed 😀

Sorry Sydney – anything but this movie of yours.

Until then, stay hungry, stay safe.
