Joan of Arcadia

Been catching the episoes of "Joan of Arcadia" on Sunday evenings...its a pity i didnt watch the earlier episodes..well i judged the show by its cast and it didnt quite attract me till one day i had nothing to do and had to sit through the show... It wasnt at all an agony and from tat day, i stayed glued to the tv after my anime on channel u and switched to it faithfully (almost...)
one of the episodes i watched a few weeks ago still had a deep impression in me... it as titled "trial and error" and was about Joan and her friend, Grace, who had to attend a mock trial for Jack, who killed the giant in his attempt to escape after stealing the golden goose. Yeah its tat story... Joan was the prosecuter, Grace was the defense attorney and Adam was Jack. It was realli interesting to see how they realli got into the roles while preparing for the mock trial...
one thing i learnt about the trial was tat there are many sides to a story..wat you see is right may not be so and the things that are hidden will come ot light soon with justice. When i was young, i read the story "Jack and the Beanstalk"...not my fav though and it certainly didnt leave any impression on me. After watching this, i had a different perspective of Jack. To me, he is a lying thief who just doesnt have brains. Come on, who in the right mind will sell his cow away for beans? I'll kill him if i were his mother!!! Even though the giant had been evil and nasty and robbed many people's gold and jewels, it didint justify that Jack had to kill him... Jack had been on the defense mode that he chopped off the beanstalk to prevent the giant from climbing downt o kill him, but in the first place, he stole from the giant!!! What is the rubbish about beng poor and needy? Do integrity and honesty permit that? In the first place Jack stole some bags of gold, the hen that laid golden eggs, a golden harp and even lied to the giant's wife about it, denying that he had anything to do with it!!! Liar, cheater and thief he is! Well you may say tat he was just hungry and too poor to let ends meet so stealing a few bags of gold and the hen that laid golden eggs was fine, but he stole a golden harp too!! What would he want a harp for, for goodness sake!?!? He got caught while stealing the harp and as a result, the giant chased after him and was killed when Jack chopped off the beanstalk. Even though the giant deserved to die, Jack did not deserved to be named a hero and to have the words "they lived happily ever after", not him...
SO...coming back to the trial, Jack was convicted" and Joan won...but another shocking thing was that Adam confessed to Joan that he had slept with another girl, Bonnie, for a few times!!! Shocking!!! I didnt like Adam from the start and was just beginning to think that he was a good boyfriend and was just starting to like him wehn the camera had to turn to him making out with Bonnie...Disgusting... The excuse was given that he had his "needs"and since Joan didnt want to sleep with him, he made the wrong move..Very wrong move and grave consequences...Well Joan broke up with him and he jolly well deserved it... What stupidity caused him to be unfaithful to the one he loved so much and caused so mcuh pain to her? That was really uncalled for, but after awhile I started to pity him, especially after he got lost in the woods...sigh....what great price one has to pay for stupidity...
Anyway really liked the show as there are so many twists and mind engaging stuff going on..thinking show i say... :) Esp the parts when "God" talks to Joan and teaches her new things and helps her to be stronger in her faith and herself... :)

family time

for the past weeks, i've kept on thinking abt the word family...to me, it has a diff meaning from most of the people out there..to others, a family means a dad, mum and mayb siblings...but to me, a family means my grandparents, my aunties and my uncles...
from young, i've been brought up by my grandparents, aunties and uncles. I've not seen my dad since i was pretty young and i dun realli have a good relationship with my mum since i dun realli come in contact with her. I've juz started talking to my sis but tats still considered quite superficial in a way as we dun live together and dun realli know each other veri well...

i went to a jap place for lunch with my fren one sun and i saw a family; a father, a mother and two children. They were having their lunch too...suddenly i had a thot...wat does it feel to eat like tat? when i was younger and even now, my uncles would bring us out for meals with the family, but it never seem quite rite to me...no matter how much i had enjoyed myself, deep in my heart i know tat i am not realli part of THE family...how does it feel to eat out like a family? How does it feel to live as a family?
But come to tink of it, i've never regretted not having a family coz God is good...Wherever i have lacked at, He has given me plentiful, even more than i can imgaine... My aunties love me alot..i am a princess to them and they are willing to give me everything unconditionally..my uncles and aunties treat me like their own too...i am truly blessed to be here...sometimes i will also tink, "if i realli have a family of my own, would i still be the person i am now?" seriously, i dun tink so...i dun tink i will be taught the same way and i may not even get the privileges i have now...
life is one big irony but if we see it differently, everything will be more colourful and enjoyable...
