Hiroes

Heroes is just so fantastic!! ahh
When it first started out it was already good, and it seemed like there was a central character of Peter Petrelli which the show would revolve around. but now it's clear that EVERYONE is a central character, and the story just someone allows everyone to interweave.

and the comic moments that Hiro provides!! i bet the first season of Heroes wouldnt have been as popular without Hiro Nakamura! hahaha. the latest episode was chao funny!
"Harloee?? Miister arfrikan eee-sark?"

ahahaha!! that line was just damn funny

and now with the introduction of new characters and their different abilities.. it's getting freaking cool cos like certain characters seem imba-ly powerful (like the puppet master fellow, and now Mr petrelli seems quite informidable too) and you have to think how to defeat him. seriously i think Heroes has great potential to be some RPG or something.
Imagine the boss is like, sylar. then u must think of some strategy to fight him, and you can't just outright confront him cos he is so powerful.. maybe must bring the haitian, then.. blabla.

so cool right!! i'll totally play the game la!

suffering in pain

i just loveee Chuck! It's such a great series with a talented lead actor, who portrays the geek-nerd character just SO well, a good cast, as well as a well written script.
there is a perfect balance of comedy, action , and in the latest action, romance!! finally some progress!! i'm a total Charah fan =)
and Sarah (yvonne strahovsky) is just hot!! haha. sucha hot name too.. is that russian? i dunno



















<3




still yet to watch heroes and OTH of this week, will catch them tmr. really, i dont know what ill be doing without TV shows like these. probably playing more warcraft and ... sleeping more? haha.


went for my first ever christian seminar today @ orchard rd presbyterian church (it's opposite Cathay).. the theme of the whole series was 'Struggling with God', an exposition on the book of Job.

First night was pretty interesting with what i thought was a key point about what the speaker thought was 'marks of a real believer.'
He said that a real believer (e.g. not one that just pays lip service to God and says God is good when everythign is going well in his life. then when he loses his wealth/health he abandons God etcetc) is one that will feel the pain of suffering

This is because we (haha yes im claiming i am one. hopefully i can live up to it) believe that God is a just God, hence it seems like in a logical sense, good people should get good things and bad ppl should be punished.

But of course, this isn't the case in the real world. in the real world good people suffer too. and because of the premise that we believe in a just God, we wonder WHY this is happening to us, whereas non-believers dont have this problem, and they simply dismiss it as karma/whatever.


ok i think i didnt summarize the points very well.. cos i dont have the notes with me. ugh.
but i thought that the talk today was very beneficial for those who are undergoing trials and such. and i thought it had an interesting psychological aspect which timo unknowingly included -
he asked "Is it necessary for someone who is sad to undergo the grieving process like Job?"
like should we let the person weep and mourn and not just feed him 'cliche christian lines'?

This opened up the psychological aspect which i really hope i will study - grieving process! for a person undergoing sorrow and such.. are there phases of it? how should each phase be handled?
what are the characteristics of each phase?

ah! i'm so hyped up about this. maybe it's in behavioural psychology? i dunno! i wanna learn! stuff like this makes me all-so-interested in studying psychology =)

and i finally have an answer for people who ask me 'what do you wanna work as next time?'
everyone assumes that if i studying psych ill be a shrink. u know , the person who sits in a chair and listens to your problems.

but no! i wanna be this definition of a psychologist:
" A person trained and educated to perform psychological research, testing, and therapy."

i wanna do research! in whatever aspect of psychology. you know people even research and study on how doctors treat patients and their thought process when evaluating a patient. so cool la.


alright then. on a random ending note, my best friend started msging again . yays.

ahh! my screen!

went to east coast park today for some games.. company cohesion actually. armyy. kena thrown into sea . ha. put on a good struggle though. first time they tried was just 2 guys and i managed to take down one of them so that attempt failed. then second time the whole group came to tackle me, i took down 2 ppl before giving up and let them carry me . ha.

alot of throwingpplintothesea, some games.. blabla. overall.. relatively enjoyable . though i injured my already injured knee. damn pain la, i couldnt walk at all at one point.

went to play pool at parkwayparade with the specs after that.. quite fun.. cos i owned :) hahaha. lost only about 2-3 times.. stayed at my table for quite long. won probably 10-12 games. the tables are damn nice la! the balls especially. like very nice to hit.

grr but damn sian, i bought a screen protector for my ipodnano and i screwed up the application!! :( :( i shoudl've asked the sales person to do it for me.


there's like stupid air bubbles! grr. i should just take it out and redo it.. but the thing is there was a sticker that was on the protector, and when i peeled off some adhesive got left behind and cant be scratched out. grr. so it's damn ugly.
i'm gonna buy another one and ask the salesperson to do it for me :/


on a random note.. im sad! my best fren is being totally dao. never reply sms at all. but .. i guess she's quite busy with PW and all. hmph. :(
