I hear, I see, I post: August 2012

Shows to catch next month




1.       Doctor Who
Any self-respecting Whovian should be kept busy counting down to the number of days to the new series. With BBC airing a miniseries called Pond Life as a prequel to the new series (Series 7 now to be exact) on Youtube every day. Pond’s Life, with 5 parts (each about a minute long), describe what the Doctor had been up to. The Doctor had been fighting the Sontarians and had a hell lot of adventure as he narrates to the Ponds. One of his adventure includes singing with a baseball cap. Next episode sees the Doctor landing his Tardis in their house, in the middle of the night. Waking them up to follow them in an adventure when he realises he is in the wrong time stream. I believe this segment might lead to Amy following the Doctor to the Weeping Angels and will be killed by them. The next morning, Amy and Rory found an Ood in their toilet.

 Part One- Baseball caps are cool
Part Two- Doctor in the wrong timeline?
Part 3- Ood on a Loo

The new series returns where it left hopefully with the question, the first ever question, hidden in plain sight. It shall never be answered. The question? Doctor Who?

It isn’t exactly a pun but seriously Steven Moffat? The question that shall not be answered is Doctor Who? Sounds kind of lame to me but I will still continue to watch the series. According to the trailer, the first episode shows the Doctor with his companions fighting heads on with Daleks again in ‘Asylum of the Daleks’. Perhaps the Doctor is there to seek revenge or political asylum in the Dalek spaceship? The new series brings us to Daleks, Dinosaurs and a western American country.

2.       The X Factor
X Factor is back for the 9th series, where past success includes One Direction, Little Mix and Olly Murs. This time, with the auditions getting on ahead before Simon managed to find a 4th permanent judge, guest judges includes Mel B, Leona Lewis and Rita Ora. There had been back leash before the show that Rita Ora is not fit to be a judge but she sure proves her critics wrong.

Together the 4 judges namely, Nicole Scherzinger (who says Newcastle is a TFZ- Talent Free Zone), Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos, I’m sure X Factor will be back with a bang. With recent reports of viewers complaining on Twitter about the new format  being more like hit reality series TOWIE (The Only Way Is Essex), with less singing and more on interviews and gossips. It is a new format but, we want more singing and judging. Thus far, 2 episodes screened, my favourite should be Lucy Spraggan of her own song titled ‘Beer Fear’ which swept the judges away with 4 yes (or all 4 say IT’S A YES together).


3.       Red or Black

Nah, I’m just joking. This show is not nice at all. Miss it at all cost.

4.       Casualty
Now into the 2nd episode of the new series, it means Hanna is promoted to head of ED after Nick Jordan left in a helicopter with sweetheart Yvonne after she was injured in #HolbyRiot. We saw the departure of Scarlett, Loyld’s Sweetheart who had confessed to be part of the riot.

Hopefully with the departure of PC Yvonne, there’ll be less of policing around in the storyline of Casualty and more on the love life of Hanna and Dylan. We see a new bitch working as receptionist in Holby who is a bitch. Hate her, period.

5.       Holby City
Holby City is now quite unimaginable with the new Business Manager, and the non-referral policy. Later in the series it shows Selina does have a soft side. But the storyline revolving about the non-referral policy is too much. Seriously, can at least focus more on Nurse Lane or the Jac Naylor conflict with Tara?

6.       Bad Education
A must watch…watch it to believe it. Starring stars from other hit sitcom and comedy like Gavin and Stacey (which repeats on BBC) and Him and Her it had been commissioned for a second series when the first series have yet to even get to the middle! This shows how nice and terrific the show is, from the funky head master to the students. With Jack Whitehall as the English teacher in Abbey Grove, you will not want to miss a single lesson in school.  


Don't miss them all (:

In the mirage endless pursuit of Happiness and Sadness



Humans have defining hormones which ‘tells’ and affects each individual of their emotions. One such hormone is called endorphins. Almost everyone knows what it is and the function. For the clueless soul, it is the hormones being produced to make you happy, and is responsible for the Goosebumps you get when hearing to music (the nicer ones). It is produced when you exercise, is eating chocolates and drugs.

In anthropological sense, more endorphins will make you happy. But is happiness just some endorphins away?

“We must be satisfied with the soup that is set before us, and not desire to see the bones of the ox out of which it has been boiled.”

Argh…I don’t know what to continue so I’m just bombing in the next few lines.

In the pursuit of happiness, we are endlessly in search for endorphins, eating chocolates and exercising or even changing your twitter account (like the wo geng ni jiang hor). So does that really brings out the endorphins in them? Perhaps, with an overdose of endorphin, they’ve all gone cranky. 

P.S This is a cranky post by someone who lacks endorphins and is thus unable to function properly.

Mixed Feelings

Mixed feelings, mixed feelings
The feelers
The trainers
And your story
