Hy Heroes Theories

Note this post contains spoiler for Heroes if you have not watched it yet.

After the season finale, many questions were raised as to how did the first season ended. The questions were namely:

1. Is Sylar dead?
   
2. Is Peter Petrelli dead?
   
3. What about Nathan?
   
4. Why or how did Hiro ended where he is now?
   
5. Does the cockroach play a significant part in all of these?
   
6. Who is scarier than the bogeyman?

Well lets try to answer them one by one. But do note that these are my assumptions and none should be taken as if its what has happenend.

Is Sylar dead?

Frankly speaking, I don't think he can die from a stab wound. I was kinda hoping that Hiro would stab and then slice him as it is a katana which is used for slicing things.

Is Peter Petrelli dead?

As seen from the previous episode, in the future, we get to see him even when he did blow up. So he should not have died.

What about Nathan?

He won the elections and flew with his brother to the sky so that he can blow up safely. The thing is, he can fly pretty fast with the "poof" cloud. So it is possible to fly Peter really high up, let him go, fly to a safe distance before the explosion hit him.

Why or how did Hiro ended where he is now?

How did he end up there? Well, my guess that in desperation, he just wanted to teleport to anywhere rather than to hit the building behind him. Since he's so fascinated with the Kensei story, it is only fitting to see him go there where the battle took place.

Does the cockroach play a significant part in all of these

This is one of the toughest question. This is because the cockroach actually got a lot of screen time and its normally seen with Sylar. My theory is that since Sylar can look through the details and know how things works. It is possible that he has like some kind of resistance like any cockroaches. Whether it involved him eating a cockroach or not, I don't know. But my guess is that he could possibly be alive because of this resistance kinda thing.

Who is scarier than the bogeyman?

I don't know. Thats all I can say. But she is a small girl. Maybe its not that scary. Maybe she's found another person who can track people as well. I mean, Sylar eats brains and take their power. But what can this one do?

Well thats it for now. Do feel free to add in your own Heroes theory in the comments. The tagboard is not good for such things.

Heroes Season Finale

I was waiting and waiting for the hour, the minute for the torrent to be released. At 10.15 AM I was frantically refreshing my torrent search page every minute. Finally it came out on eztv and I tried to get it.

Crap the server is too busy... Sigh! Tried the second link which points to mininova. Ya Ta! It works! I hence opened up my remote desktop program to link to my PC at home, transfered the file over and start up Azureus to try to download the file. Success! Grrrr... why is the speed so slow? Why is the tracker giving me a connection error? Azureus finally used the DHT to connect to some clients and finally it started moving. It was slow at first but eventually it reached about 30 and it was constant all the way to the end. However, I can't watch it as I'm in office, so I waited till I got back to watch it.

In conclusion afte watching it, its a good ending to the season. However they showed about a minute or two for the next episode in season 2. Why must they do that? Why show us a glimpse of something and then left us hanging there? Sigh... Oh well, I better stop now before i put up more spoilers... Hehe...

People who are cute will end up dying like Sylar who is evilly cute :)

I need Gabriel Gray

I've got 2 alarm clocks to wake me up in the morning. One is my phone and the other is a normal alarm clock. Every morning, I wake up via the normal alarm clock as it’s really loud. I'll then check the time on my phone. If its not 7.45, I'll sleep some more till 7.45.

Strangely, for the past few weeks, I've been setting my normal alarm clock to 7.20 and my phone to 7.40, but the normal alarm clock rings at 7.50. This makes me slightly late and got me baffled. Did I wake up and sleep back? Or is the alarm spoilt? So for the past 2 days, I adjusted the normal alarm clock to ring at 7.00 and it rang at 7.30. I'm very certain now that my alarm clock is not in sync with the time it’s displaying.

I need this guy to help me fix my clock

And perhaps he could sell me one of this

As long as he doesnt eat my brains... :P

Project Outing

On the 15th of May, Tuesday night, my project had a project outing in 1U. The total turn out were 32 people including our Accenture team and the Maxis employees. The plan was to have dinner at Italianies and later have 2 games of bowling. The overall budget allocated was RM1500.

In dinner, we had 2 tables to accommodate 16 people each and we each have 8 dishes (4 pastas, 4 pizzas). However due to the fact that there is a vegetarian and someone not being able to eat beef, none of the dishes have beef in it and many were just vegetarian while some have chickens in it. Oh well, it’s still better than nothing. The final pasta which is the carbonara was the best of all. It’s filling and just very nice. Haha!

Off to bowling we went. The organizer said something about a gift for the best team as well as a gift for the best male player as well as be female player. We had about 8 lanes with 4 people per lane. My name was on the top of the list for my lane and thus I had to start first.

Having not played for like 3 years or so (last played was in Monash first year). So it started with my usual strategy which is to start from the right and bowl the ball to the middle. I decided to use this strategy after looking at those animations on the screen where there is this arrow pointing to the pins as to how it should be hit. I noticed that the arrow is always at an angle to hit the head pin. If you throw the ball straight from the middle and hit the headpin straight, odds are that you will get a split or what I call a goal post. It will be left with 2 pins with 1 on each side.

So if the ball comes from the right to the middle, its heading to the left and if it hits the head pin, chances are that all will fall. If not it will bring down 9 and remain 1 at the most corner of the lane. The problem is that I can't really aim it that well and even though I start from the right, it can sometimes go too much to the left or sometimes just go straight and I will get either 1 pin or 3 pins. Not the result I hope for.

However that night was pretty good for me. In the 2 games, I had a total of 4 strikes and a spare while the rest is about 7-9 pins. The score for the first game was 103 and the second 124 bringing the total to 227 in 2 games. This is actually the few times I crossed 100. Obviously I did not get any gifts/prize as I'm not the best there nor did I help my team much in achieving the best team score. But it’s still a personal high score for me. It was good... :)

Respect or n00b?

I like to live my principles although there are many situations in life where you would have to cross the boundaries and compromise less you be called a wimp or n00b. Hence this is the case for me lately. My principles tells me that I should not be caught in a situation where I'll be alone with a member of the opposite sex. Be it for a meal together or even a car ride together.

My belief is that if I were to adhere to this principle, I'm showing respect for the other party by not compromising each other's feelings and remain professional. Cause many things could happen when 2 members of the opposite sex are placed together. In the lustful world today, even 6 graders could have sex in school what more adults. One thing could lead to another and before you know, you're in too deep. So it is imperative that one should not be caught in a situation like that. Why arouse temptation when it is not called for?

However, many people see this as a sign of wimpyness or not 1337 H4x0r (aka n00b). They could argue that what the heck will happen in that short time spent together? And if one party already has a partner already, it should not happen.

This is why I'm opening the question to you all. Being Uber 1337 H4x0r, I can't be seen a n00b. So the question is this: does this principle show respect for the opposite sex or does it show a sign of a wimp? Would love to hear all your comments.

Wrong Usages for Things Created...

Haha, about a few months ago a friend of mine told me about something he noticed on certain people using certain things. He told me that he noticed that most people use umbrella not when its raining but when its shining brightly. I belive we've all been taught from young even at kindergardens that umbrella is used for the rain.

Something like this

Ok I'm quite sure most people know where that picture came from. Haha. Anyway back to the point, from there I noticed that there are many things we use but its not originally meant to do. I came out with a list and here goes:

• Newspaper is used for shielding oneself from the rain (note the irony of people using newspaper instead of an umbrella)
• Fans are used to dry clothes
• TV is for console games like PS3, XBox 360 and Wii
• Lights are used to scare off robbers

I know that there are many more to add to the list, but this is all I can think off at the moment. Hehe.. Do comment on any things you noticed about people using various things for doing things its not meant to originally do.
