Battlestar Galactica. A great ending to a sci-fi masterpiece.

My God. Its over. What an ending it was. Seriously. I was shaking in my chair as the 2-hour finale was showing. All the pieces were placed perfectly as all the questions left unanswered the past 3 seasons were revealed in an awe inspiring piece of story telling. To tell the truth, a few scenes brought water to my eyes.

For those of you who have no idea about this series I'll enlighten you some what. Battlestar Galactica is sci-fi story about the human race's survival against their former robotic slaves, the Cylons who after disappearing for 40 years after the first war have now evolved into flesh and metal and a new 11 models of them fully 'human' with the ability to resurrect after being killed via a resurrection ship carrying their 'spare' bodies which they download into. After reappearing the Cylon's human models not known to the humans infiltrate their defense system by inserting a virus that crippled all the battleships or 'battlestars' as well as any other defensive countermeasure thus striking with nuclear weapons across 13 worlds and unknowingly spare those who were off-planet during the attacks numbering around 50,000 survivors. The remainder of the human race is chased from their 13 planet-colonies across the universe in a variety of ships with only the protection of Battlestar Galactica, a ship of the first war which was to be decommisioned and turned into a museum but in fact it was its old systems that saved the ship from being disabled by the virus. The story continues as the foes begin to find out details about each other, details never known before, visions experienced by a select few, as well as a stronger force at hand weaves their destinies together as both their chances of survival diminish due to the ongoing war with the Cylons struggling to unravel the destiny planned for their existence and the humans struggle to find a home called 'Earth' as well as coming to the true realisation about their ever-becoming-more-mortal enemies. 

If I piqued your interest, I'm not going to spoil it for you. the whole thing is 4 seasons each with 20 episodes. If you like sci-fi or hate it, just check it out because you don't know what you're missing. Science fiction story telling at its ultimate best. 

Feign Idiocy.

I kinda love it when people think they're better than someone at something and can have the audacity to say it out loud. I recently read this girl's blog and she was somewhat proud of not being able to speak Malay (don't know my posts these days are centered on language) or chosing not to because English was supposedly her mother tongue and personally I found this kind of funny because her writing didn't suggest so, not that I'm saying that mine is flawless but I do alternate between BM and English because life seems better to me that way. Like some jokes are lame when told in English but are crackers when told in BM. I guess I like to keep a balance that way. The thought of learning Cantonese crossed my mind today, I guess it would make it awesomely easy to converse with some of the people at college and just to enhance my communication skills. Anyway, a new gym opened in Taman Tun called MYGYM, I went to check it out but it was closed today, dang. Before that I accompanied my girlfriend who was sick to the pasar malam, we bought fruits then headed back and that was pretty much my day today =)
