maltatoday | SUNDAY • 12 JANUARY 2025 4 ALMANAC My essentials MARDY FARRUGIA 22, University student, singer and actress I am in my final year at the University of Malta, studying to become a Speech and Language Pathologist. I have a passion for the arts. I am a classically trained singer and actress. 1. Books 2. Film 3. Internet/TV 4. Music 5. Place THIS is quite a difficult task because I have a lot of favour- ites. However, I think that my favourite song at the moment is defying gravity from the musical Wicked. Apart from it being one of my favourite musicals I really like this par- ticular song from the musical due to the lyrics. I like to look at the lyrics whenever I feel like I want to give up and this gives me the motivation to take that extra step. IN the future I would like to visit Paris. I have studied the French language and since then I fell in love with it. There is something mesmerizing about the Eiffel tower and the beautiful louvre museum. I would also definitely pay a visit to Disneyland. IT Ends with Us. It explores realistic themes that one comes across in everyday life. In 2024, I also had the opportunity to watch the movie. However, nothing tops the book as it was so meticulously explained that I could envision all the scenes there and then. Having said that, I usually prefer reading in Maltese, particularly mysteries. FRACTURED is a film that I watch over and over again and never get tired of. First of all, thrillers and mysteries are two of my favourite genres. Howev- er, this particular film was ex- ceptional. It kept me guessing till the last minute and the story was so well written. I am not a fan of predictable films/endings. But this was far from that. It re- ally exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it to every- one, particularly those who love thrillers. UNFORTUNATELY, I don't find much time to browse the internet or watch TV although I wish I could do it more often. However, something I like to do on the internet when I have time are the BuzzFeed quizzes or else the daily wordle/werdil (Maltese) Compiled by Laura Calleja suggestions by email lcalleja@mediatoday.com This page is supported by Arts Council Malta 4 5 1 2 3
