Ws in the chat for Christy Ku 👏🏼
Congrats on finishing the play. That's huge! And all while moving house! Also, those cookies look amazing. :D
@@sweetsingin thank you so much!! Was a struggle but we did it!!
i have kind of fallen off writing recently, and this has really inspired me. i appreciate you discussing the worm and bird perspectives when writing! :) keen to hear more about your journey over the coming weeks!
I’m so glad to hear this! Will chat more about writing insights (if I have any lol) 💕
A play?! I'm so excited!!!
Me too!! I’ll do my best 🫡
Hi!!! It's been so long since I've seen your videos! Hope everything's going well!
Hi angel!! It’s been a while but I’m slowly returning! I’ve got a mini-series planned coming soon for UA-cam 👀
I would consider dating over any of these books...
Both choices have a high chance of ghosting (ie not finishing the book)
Best wishes with what you choose to read. I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I might be some time! Happy reading.
I salute you as you voyage on this brave endeavour 🫡 hope you’re enjoying it and thank you!
You’re back!!
For now!
Thank you SOOOO much! This is amazing <3
Hiya, thank you so much for your lovely words! Hope this helps you!
Hi Doodles! I have question: what do when panelists talks about pissing in a dark french tunnel and gets camera stolen? Thanks Kuka!
I'd make sure we have a trained boxer on the panel as security!
The Wayfarer series got me back into reading, especially loved as an autistic person the neurodiverse coding of many of the characters. Especially Sidra in "a closed and common orbit." which accurately describes not only autistic quirks but the sensory experience of autistic people which is almost never explored in a way that makes sense in stories. I will have to give some of the other books in this video a look.
omg yess! it's such an amazing series honestly
@@kukadoodles yeah, it's genuinely one of my favourite book series at the moment. Still need to read the 3rd and 4th book. I'm very much looking forward to learning about Exodan culture.
I understand the "quiet" everything LOL..
May our bank accounts be as loud as a music concert 🙏🙏
Also I too love Stardew Valley, reading, writing and am an Asian booktuber - do you wanna be besties??
@@kukadoodles hahahhaha *the dream*
@@kukadoodles YES, PLEASE!??
My fav booktuber!
ily 😭❤️
Why hasn't this video blown up?! This is SO helpful. I've been watching so many notion videos to help me with my taxes and it's so overwhelming with formulas and percentages. I'm so relieved it can be simple, I was worried about what I got myself into!! Thanks for being a legend!! <3
so glad this was useful for you!! Please do feel free to share the video/the link to the resource around if you think it'll help any friends! The UA-cam gods have never looked kindly upon me lol but I hope it reaches those who need it!
wow freelancing, taxes & notion together - the venn diagram is exactly me
welcome to the overlapping centre
glad to see you back here. thx for this video!
Hellooo!
Oh heyyyyy!
Loved this video! I’m so glad that you found your tribe ❤️ Really liked what you mentioned about your videos leading to work years down the line - I think that people underestimate how important it is to plant the ‘seeds’ of projects and ideas as broadly as you can. Views are not everything!
this resonated a whole lot. since i can remember being a part of the London youtube scene, no "community" was being built or maintained, improved or expanded. it was just a word used by ~20 white micro celebrities to hoodwink people into thinking that fucking about at conventions, and going to the same house parties every month (where someone always ended up either physically or emotionally hurt) was special and meaningful. good on you for doing something so much cooler and better for yourself and *actually* finding and building a real community. <3
10,000% this, maybe more.
They really used the word “community” as a buzzword smh 🙄 such a joy to have met you though!!
@@kukadoodles Scummy as the "community" turned out to be (or rather, always was, they just got more unable to hide it) I don't regret my time in it because it led me to meeting folks like you <3
oh no this video is too relatable
big oof
My housemate who's a massive Dumbfoundead says I pronounced his name wrong, so big apologies to the legend please don't ban me from k-town xoxo
Spelt Dumbfoundead, pronounced Dumbfounded 🙏
@@Makyeezy OKAY OKAY
I missed you so much!!! 💜💜💜
Hello!!! Hope you've been well!!
@@kukadoodles I've been good thanks!!!!!
What a delightful way of spending a whole day! Solid books with a couple of relaxing visits to cafes. That would be my idea of paradise. I live in Lancashire, so I can't help you with any recommendations for Holywood actresses, I'm afraid. A long time ago I seem to remember a shop in London somewhere that did specialise in theatre and film books. It might still be there. Have you asked the owners of the shops you have visited? Bookselling is very much a network and if you keep asking, surely someone will know of the one specialist bookshop in the country that deals in that field.
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment! This is quite an old video of mine but I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
I found this so moving. Thank you!
Thank youuu! Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for uploading this!
Thank you for watching!
I love this!!!
Thank you so much!
Excellent, just seen you on Life & Rhymes.
Amazing work Christy!
Thank you!!
🙌🙌🙌
This is brilliant!!! 🙌🏾
Thank you!!! 💖
Thank you for having meee 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much for being part of it!
This is one of the best things I have ever seen. Wayyyyy more people need to see this. It is phenomenal 👏
Thank you so much angel!!
I just subed :) Coz loves the comics 😀
Love it
The skit really got me! I'm glad I found your channel
Thank you!!! Also omg another Asian booktuber, we love to see it ❤️
@@kukadoodles THATS WHAT I WAS SCREAMING ABOUT . I'm from Canada though so I'm still very far away from you.
omg you're hilarious. but come to think of it, i don't think i ever read anything by a Hong Kong author, please let me know if you have any recommendations. can't wait to hear your thoughts on these books.
Absolutely stunning!!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that the document for the readathon has some links to free audiobooks you can enjoy (i beleive two or three are on spotify and a bunch of other ones are for free on audible) And the document also has a ton of great recommendations 💜
oooh thank you so much!
I subbed to your channel from your Asian readathon tbr but again, RELATABLE bc I am lonely on youtube. I have no online friends although I am new on making booktube content 😂 Also, OMG BC bitesize saved my GCSE grades + KS3 + still being in year 13 without any exams to sit I'm using it to teach since I am currently working as a GCSE English tutor😂 Film production and photography sound so interesting! This video was so calming and your accent + inserts in this video make me miss London even more ;-; (edit) - I see my not so perfect life on your bookshelf! I loved that book so much ! Have you read it too ?
GIRL LET US BE FRIENDS!! I've just followed your Twitter (your insta link doesn't seem to be working in your video description) Working with BBC Bitesize was so much fun, still can't believe I got to do that! I actually didn't like that book so much lol sorry! It was... mildly fun?
😂 I loved the intro. I also participated in Asian readathon 2020 although I gave up after reading one Korean book to avoid Psychology reading list. I am South Korean based in the Netherlands and I lived in the UK + hopefully going to UK uni this September, but tbh dunno if it will happen judging from this current situation. I relate SO MUCH for struggling to find Asian booktubers and I literally searched 'asian booktubers' on the search bar and found your channel! I also recently started making booktube videos and I am loving it so far :) Just subbed, so glad i found another Asian booktuber !
OMG NEW FRIEND THE STRUGGLE HAS BEEN SO REAL
You’re doing amazing!🤩
Thank you! I'm trying lol
You with a backpack on is not gonna lie so cute and also me realizing that I have no where to go but proudly stay home anyway.
love the content!!!!
thank you!!
Smoking pocky... dirty, I mean yummy habit :)
Everything you touch is gold omg
Gift Ajimokun ❤️ u Gift!
LOL the beginning with you spotting hello kitty. that was hilarious. I'm asian but I'm in Canada.. so do I get one foot in the door? lol. Your enthusiasm for Soft Science got me hyped. I don't usually read poetry books but I need to branch out so I'll be picking this up!
Donna Tsundoku lets us form an international alliance nonetheless 💪💪💪 Soft Science is a work of genius, let me know what you think!!
Hahaha the start of this video is EVERYTHING! Love it <3
Thank you so much! You should watch last year's intro skit, that was even more extra 😂
Lovely video!! Keep up the great work!!
Oh this is fab.
Thank you!
