Favorite TV Show

Assalamualaikum,

Ever since I got here in the UK, my entertainment has only been the device (i.e. phone) in my hand. (Ah jangan nak exaggerate sangat. Haha!). Frankly, I am very much attached to my mobile (the wonders of smartphone - getting in touch with people via email, FB messaging, WhatsApp, Telegram, ResearchGate, the list goes on and on).

Then Fendi (my husband) bought a TV, though he initially insisted of not buying one 'cause it uses our monthly expense whereby we can just watch movies from our laptops. 

Eventually, he ended up buying a TV due to the reasons: 

(1) "I homesick la.. " and (2) "Rumah tak meriah la takde TV". 

Huhu I honestly don't like to watch TV that much -- sebab rabun, malas nak pakai glasses dalam rumah. Plussss, most of the shows here are just..... plain boring cus we did't subscribe to any of subscription plans. Yang ada are like RTM kat Malaysia la.. TV1 TV2.. hehe kalau ada yang best pun The Big Bang Theory duk ulang benda sama. Tapiiiii setelah hampir 9 months tinggal dekat sini, ada juga beberapa TV shows yang Fateen sukaaa and saje nak share. Bukan la TV series yang ada perempuan bimbo bimbo berebut bf tu LOL! 

1. Come Dine with Me

Rasanya show ni ada tunjuk dekat Malaysia kan? Hehe if belum pernah tengok, it's mainly about a group (consisting of usually four) of strangers akan kumpul and cook alternately for one another. At the end of the show, the best host akan dapat award £1000. And, according to my personal observations, those who critique the most would usually ended up last sebab yang selalu kritik orang tu la yang tak bagus. (woops!) hehe. 

2. Four in a Bed

Terkejut tak baca title show ni? Hehe it is so misleading I quickly skipped the channel whenever the show runs on TV. But ACTUALLY the show was sooo soo good, lain daripada lain! It is actually and I quote "about B-&-B owners take turns to stay with one another - and pay what they consider fair for their stay." The concept of the show is similar to Come to Dine with Me and yes, selalu yang kritik orang tu la B&B dia paling tak best! Some of the B&B showcased here I think is quite ridiculous due to its unreasonable high price with small space and limited facilities of which I think, might as well just stay at a hotel than paying something that is not worth the money. 

3. The Great British Bake Off

Ini biasa kot, baking competitions. Tp Fateen lagi enjoy tengok judges tu bake rather than watching the contestants stressing out preparing the pastry/desserts. Must watch! 

4. Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners (OCC)

Hakhakhak! Okeh, yang ni kawan yang suruh tengok. It's about bunch of people diagnosed with OCD and they are madly compulsive with cleaning. Fateen suka tengok the cleaning part which they only show about less 5 minutes. The rest of the episode is just how this compulsive cleaners matched up with other people who is completely having opposite habits from them such that a hoarder. It was so disgustinggggg haha sekarang tak tengok dah sebab terlalu geli.

5. Love Your Garden

I am saving the best for last. This is by far, my most favorite show of all. 

Hehe this man in the photo, Alan along with his team akan pergi selected houses to revamp their gardens! Of course, mesti la kena apply hehe. Some of the garden transformation budget costs up to £15k - £30k. hohoh kayo kayo. Tapi, the end results are always satisfying! Worth the monehhhh.

Hehe watching these shows really influence me, in a way, I am more attentive towards cleanliness after watching OCC and tiba tiba aje rajin nak tanam tanaman lepas tgk Love Your Garden hehe. If you like, you can try downloading Channel 4 app on your mobile and watch some of the shows. Kalau tak, boleh try search on Youtube, maybe ada snippets :)

Sooooooooooo, I would like to know, what's your favorite TV show? 

Come Share with Me :D :D (no award intended hehe)
