TV Series Worth Catching

ppl who have known me for a few years know that i can get glued to the tube for the entire day. i can literally finish a whole, boxed TV series (esp those Korean/Taiwanese ones) in a day! So one of the best things about moving here is the good ole' tele. CSI and comedies reruns e.g. seinfeld, friends, everybody loves raymond, the simpsons, etc are on during most parts of the day. when i get bored with them, i switch to the food network to oogle at the great-looking dishes made by sandra lee, rachael ray, OR i could watch "whose wedding is it anyway?" on style network OR there's fun celebrity rankings on E! channel... and the list goes on. I love cable.

so the 2 series i'm currently going ga-ga over are:
  1. the tudors (jon rhys meyers, need i say more?)
  2. heroes
tudors is on showtime on sundays at 11pm while heroes is on monday nights at 10pm. Pity i can't catch weeds (a show about some ppl's favourite plant - the weed!!) which is on monday nights at 10pm, the same time slot as heroes.

Heroes' spoiler below.
Last night's heroes was quite cool. peter petrelli came back to life and is really turning out to be an extremely strong mutant since he can imitate anyone's powers just by thinking of the person. But Isaac died... but before he dies, he sends out his last package of his graphic novel drafts which describe how to stop the bomb. Isaac even reveals that Sylar will die in the future! way cool! looks like peter's mum has something/some power she's hiding from her sons and linderman actually has healing powers!!! wowee! Micah is being used by linderman for his ploy which hasn't been reveled yet and hiro meets his future self 5 years after the bomb blows in new york at the end. cannot wait for next week.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Accident on Front St

Hao-e and i just witnessed a horrible freak accident on Front St. Tonight is the first Harbour Night of 2007, and we happened to be in town for dinner. After dinner, we walked along Front St looking at the stalls set up along the side walk. There were stalls selling jewellery, ice-cream, hand-crafts, pepper jam/sauce, soap etc. And there was quite a good crowd as well cos there were 2 cruise ships docked at the Hamilton harbour. When the gombey dancers started their performance, we stood on the side walk of Burnaby St watching, gaping and taking photos. All of a sudden this horse carriage with 2 horses just sped along crushing the crowds underneath. The horses trampled over and the carriage rolled over some ppl!!! Eeks, we were shocked beyond words, thinking it could have been us. The parameds came and took 4 on stretchers. It was horrible. Hope noone is seriously hurt.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
