loved the informative bits about singaporean and chinese history & culture. HATED the entitled rich people and skimmed over most parts where excessive wealth is described.
loved that peik lin never turned out to be a jealous friend. would’ve lowkey wanted to see how the proposal would’ve went down but there would be so much to write about with the family etc and how they would handle that so i’m glad that part is saved for the sequel
cause i can’t bare to read about these obnoxious people anymore
