Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Oldies, Jazz and Blues…. I don’t have a specific type of music that I listen to, it ranges across genre. I enjoy going to orchestra for classical music too, live bands, jazz concerts etc. I just can’t handle music that’s too noisy and loud (hard to define but I’ll know when I get headache from it)

Movies: Sci-fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Crime, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Actions - a wide variety (except Horror 😅 can’t handle that)
- Beetlejuice, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Die Hard …

Books: I’m mostly read fictional books; crime and investigative genre, like James Patterson and Patrica Cornwall are my go-to authors. I also like Cecilia Ahern and Jojo Moyes. I enjoy reading poems too e.g. Atticus. Occasionally read books for personal development, mental wellness, e.g. Jay Shetty , Simon Sinek etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure if it’s considered as amazing - being with oneself - the comfort of being with yourself and solo travelling.
