About a week to go before the second season is aired and of course the community members are working overtime with their speculations and questions. Thanks to a colleague who passed me this article, I must say its a must read for all Heroes fans! I'll just let you read some excerpts from that article. Click the article link for the rest of it

5 Questions Season Two of Heroes Had Better F#@king Answer

What happened to Sylar? Is he very dead, or only a little?
As Agatha Christie’s famous detective Hercule Poirot once commented: “When a body goes missing, and a trail of blood leads to a an open manhole, I am thinking two things: One, that guy probably isn’t dead yet, and two, I am getting myself some motherfucking CHUD-repellent.”

Nathan and Peter Petrelli. Man those guys were tools. Please say they’re never coming back.
Some of you probably recall the tagline from the Heroes ads that aired toward the end of last season: How Do You Stop An Exploding Man? The answer, it turns out, is to hug him and fly away really quickly. Why that part never made it into the ad taglines is still unknown.

How long have people had these abilities anyways? It looked like Linderman and the Company have been around for a long time.
Clearly people have had these marvelous abilities for decades, yet we don’t recall any dudes, who could fly, shaking hands with Nancy Reagan on the White House lawn before turning to the camera and advising the nation’s children that only dopes use dope.

What crazy adventures will Hiro get up to in the past?
Hiro’s tendency to repeatedly lose control of his powers can be frustrating for us viewers, but it probably makes sense from a narrative point of view. If Hiro ever did have full control of his abilities, he’d basically be unstoppable. The remainder of the show’s eight-season run would consist of the other characters sitting around playing online poker, sending Hiro out to save the world every time representatives from the United Nations appeared begging for help on the enormous television screen mounted on the wall of the Hero Cave.

Who is the mysterious creature that Molly refers to that’s “much worse than the boogeyman?”
In the last episode, Molly, the little girl who can find people by thinking about them, claimed that there was only one person in the world she couldn’t find, someone “much worse” than Sylar. This extremely interesting development was just as quickly swept aside when everyone present was distracted by something. It might have been Matt Parkman getting his head stuck in a pot of honey. We’re not sure, we taped over it.

Man... I'm getting pretty impatient right now!

Like oh my god oh my god I am sooo in love with this movie! The colorful cast and of course the much more feminine John Travolta dancing alongside amazing cast like Amanda Bynes, Queen Latifah, James Marsden, Michelle Pfeiffer and the most awesome Christopher Walken!

The plot itself is amazing. I know many can't stand musicals but this one is bearable, just like how amazing Chicago was that I watched it like 15-20 times. Unfortunately Zac Efron didn't really shine through this one; unless you're still going through puberty even if he stood there holding a piece of rag they'll still think he rulz.

Hehe... I dragged Fahmy to watch it with me. He likey! Despite what others may think, he still came out of the other side of the theatre STRAIGHT. Haha! Baby, you're timeless to me :P

What is wrong with her VMA performance here. Lets evaluate shall we...

1. not singing, she did not lipsync well either!
2. barely dancing
3. bad hair extensions
4. one of her fake nail dropped out
5. not very nice for a mother of 2 to be wearing something like that
6. she look like a dead fish on stage
7. she did not impress the audience at all
8. unflattering exposure of post maternity figure (I wouldn't say she's fat but you know...)

This is not the Britney we all know. Let me let you refer to her past performance here and tell Brit-Brit... what happened to you? I can imagine the performance to be a big bomb if I were to remove YOU from the stage and let your awesome dancers do all the magic. I know a lot had happened in your absence from the industry...

1. got married
2. got kids
3. got divorce
4. got Paris Hilton to be your BFF
5. got bad pictures across all media
6. lost all the important people necessary for her career
7. rehab, rehab, rehab
8. oh the drinking... bad mummy!
9. battling child custody with K-Fed
10. almost bankrupt I suppose...

My advice... DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL. Anyone, and I mean anyone, could have matched your quality standard that night and many would do it for free. You're losing your fans slowly by the minute, honey!

Sometimes I wonder how tough it'll be to earn a living far far away from your homeground. I have friends who's working in a foreign land and I've got friends who comes to Singapore to work. If I were to be given a choice to do such, where will I go?

I was browsing the WWW and found a site for London jobs and since my paper qualification's certified by Cambridge I thought I may have a shot. I'm not even sure if the Americans or the other European countried would recognise my certificates. Maybe life experiences might help?

I filtered all the jobs in London to see where I stand. To my delight, not 1 job advertised mentioned anything about paper qualification in their prerequisite! Its all about past experiences and good references.

Thinking back, why isn't Singapore employment nature is such? I've got a fresh grad holding a diploma sending out letters, packing goods and answering phonecalls. I'm not holding any diploma and I'm holding a much better position than her; my job is that of a degree holder. But one thing for sure, her diploma enables her to rack a higher salary. Technically its fair but at times, it pains me and I wished that we could swop roles.

Ah well... more updates about me in a bit!

I took morning off with a colleague to make full use of our dental benefit worth S$120. We made appointment on the same day but I got the 9am slot while she's like half and hr after me. Pretty odd since I'm horrible at waking up THAT early but I manage to reach the clinic around 8.42am (yup, I memorised the time from my receipt). Despite my applaudable effort to be there on bloody time, I was made to wait for more than 45mins. Yes, I bumped into my colleague who came about 10mins earlier before her appointment. I was furious but then again, who's ever excited to sit in the dentist chair anyway?

The 'drilling' session was alright I guess. I got nagged for not making it a point to visit the dentist annually. My last visit was in Aug 05 because of an unfortunate swimming session that resulted in a semi-shattered tooth. Don't wanna talk about it. I can still feel the pain, in my pocket.

Anyway, the dentist told me I got a minor gingivitis, or something like that. But you have to agree, it has a pretty cute name. I could name my new mobile phone that! Its just plaque (a.k.a. tartar) built up near to the gums resulting from little or no brushing. Usually will affect the hard to reach places at the back. So the dentist went on to teach me the proper way to clean the unreachable areas.

Dentist: Point your brush 45 degrees so that it's able to touch all the way to the back. Don't brush, but just jiggle, jiggle, jiggle...

I think a better solution will be to get those really long and thin toothbrushes. Someone need to invent some if there isn't any in the market! No one ever thought me to jiggle my brush against my tooth! It used to be up-down motion and recently on the Ellen Show, they thought us to brush in circular motion and now I learnt how to jiggle with my toothbrush! Lesson learnt... cost me S$103.80! Yup, just for consultation and scaling. Who says I avoid making annual appointments cos' I'm afraid of the dentist?

I got a e-newsletter from a budget airline company showing promos after promos for their uber cheap rates to fly to various parts of Australia. One that caught my eye was Sydney. I know many of my friends have gone there... more than once, and I'm still contemplating if I should join the bandwagon. Variety of Sydney hotels to choose from to suit your lifestyle and budget!

I think the major pull factor for me will be the numerous white sandy beach like Bondi Beach for example. When I travel I love to check out their beaches and of course, the nightlife. The city area is the place to be where I can do all that plus other stuff to like shopping, sightseeing, relaxing, wine and dine and take part in the numerous festivals held at various times throughout the year.

The most popular spot to be seen in the city will be at Darling Harbour, even with the closure of the Sega World Sydney, I could make do with the myriad of entertainment venues. Accomodation in Sydney is affordable and public transportation is very convenient to use, even for tourists!

So lets pray the annual year end bonus I'm getting will be at least 3 times what we got last year, I'll definitely answer my calling and make my way there, no doubt about it! I'll be on the look out for cheap hotels in Sydney from now!

Pertaining to my previous post here, I've yet to introduce my new 'love' to you.

Presenting Nokia E65... (the snazzier looking one) and I shall name it Britney, cos Paris is so last year and the skankiest hoe in Hollywood now is Ms. Spears! Hahaha... just kidding. I've not found a good name for it yet.


In my humble opinion, this is like the fanciest phones I've ever owned. I am still learning how to use the phone. Lucky for me I've got a colleague or two using the same phone as moi, so I can refer to them like I would WikiPedia whenever I'm kinda stuck. One time, I couldn't save anyone's numbers cos' I dunno how... I know... I'm suck a N00B!

And what happened to my 'Paris Hilton' you may ask? Bumping queue to the retirement home.

Adelaide, or often known as the City of Churches, has its own pull factor despite the unpredictable downpours throughout summer. Take a leisure stroll along the many beautiful lakes they have and if the weather's against you, take the chill pill and just people-watch as they scramble to seek shelter from the rain. Hotels in Adelaide can be as cheap as AUD$75 and below. If architecture is your thing, this is the place to be.

Eventhough Melbourne is known to have hot, dry summers, with maximum temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, there'll never be a dull moment when you're there. Other than pretty parks and cultural events, the locals go all out to make your nap time history. Melbourne accomodation can go as low as AUD$50. Don't bother splurging on an expensive room. With beers going dirt cheap, you won't even bother if your bed is covered in bugs!

Ahhh Perth.... many I've known preferred to go here than anywhere else in the land down under. They're all about the dining pleasures, ka-ching movers, the outback and of course, the sun and surf. Every summer, a he-yooge event called Perth International Arts Festival, pulled many tourists and locals, where they showcased only the best in the industry. Make sure you oick the right hotels in perth where it won't cost you anything above AUD$70... yes, it's possible.
