Which special ability would you prefer?







Heroes







Heroes. Currently I'm watching a series called Heroes, by NBC. With the advertised tagline "Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities" when first introduced, you can never go wrong with this kind of show. I've watched till episode 12 now and still rooting for more.

My favorite character in the show would be Hiro Nakamura. Yes he's a Japanese. The way he pronounce "very" as "bery" and "villain" as "billain". LOL. But my friend told me that is the way the Japanese pronounce those words.

Here's a few of the special ability that they have. So which one would you prefer?

1. Fly
2. Predict the future
3. Superhuman strength
4. Ability to heal own physical injuries
5. Hear other people's thoughts.
6. Manipulate space and time continuum (Hiro's ability)
7. Invisibility
8. Power to alter physical tangibility and phase through solid objects (something like the "billain" in Terminator 2, but not to that extent)

Those listed up there are only a few ability of the main casts. There's one ability that can persuade people to do the stuff that you told them to do and they will follow. I think this is one of the most powerful ability in the world, but the character has been killed off.

If I were able to choose one from the list above, I would choose no. 5, ability to hear people's thought. Why? Hmm because humans are complicated. Would like to know what actually is in other people's mind. Ok larr in other words, busy body? LOL. There are pros and cons if you have extraordinary power. As the quote in Spiderman, "Great power comes with great responsibility" You can't just simply use your own power to do bad.

Which one of those that I hate the most? Same, no.5. It's like crossing over people's line, without any permission to read their thoughts. I would hate it if people read my thoughts without me knowing. If I were to have that power, what if I heard some secrets that I'm not suppose to know? Keep it to myself? Or spread it out to everyone? Darn, it's hard to be extraordinary.

So conclusion? I'm happy being ordinary :P If I really want an ability, that would be the ability to know myself better. I still don't know who I am after 24 years plus of existence. What a loser!!

Anyway, go watch this series ok? :)

Singapore trip

I know this post is wayyyyy overdue, but here goes, my trip to Singapore last month. Lazy to write in details. So here goes...

Link to the pictures below. 18SX!!! :P
My SG Pics


Day 1:
Realized that I've forgotten to take my battery along -_-"
Bought a new one in Singapore, cost me SGD 45.
Stayed in Grand Hyatt Hotel, but had buffet lunch at Marriott Hotel :P
Went to "Big Boyz Toyz" Expo, should have called "Rich Boyz Toyz" -_-"
Strolled along Orchard Road at nite, alone.

Day 2:
Lunch at Little India, nothing much to see, but there's a shopping centre called Mustafa, 24 hours and stuff are cheap there.
Chinatown the next destination, and a few more places, walk till wanna my leg gonna break. LOL.
Merlion, Esplanade, n Suntec City Mall Fountain of Wealth. Will I ever get rich? LOL
Stayed in hotel at nite, too tired yo.

Day 3:
Buffet breakfast in the morning.
Vivo City, gonna be a MRT link from Vivo City to Sentosa.
Wanted to go to Sentosa but weather doesn't look too good.
Decided to go Faber Hill, but I seriously think it's a scam. Not worth going there. Summore have to pay SGD10.90 for the cable car to get there. SO EXPENSIVE!!
My mom and youngest sis came. So take my sis for a walk along Orchard Road.
Another sis arrived later that nite too.

Day 4:
Wanna go Bugis with my mom n sis. But have to wait for them to shop -_-"
End up in Bugis but spent most of my time waiting for them.
Orchard Road again at nite with dad, mom n my sisters.

Day 5:
Goodbye Singapore.

Overall it's a good trip (Don't have much to compare on as this is the first time outstation after a long time)
A bit boring to walk alone, but if with my mom, sure shopping come first. Hate shopping if I love some stuff but can't afford to buy.
