moses + jesus + a family car

so i made another mistake in the previous post. anyone feeling divine already?
people have been asking me the same questions and telling me the same things over and over again. things like, 'you are the last person i would expect to start a blog', 'why did you start a blog?'. i'd like to tell one more time that i couldn't believe i did this too but there's a reason why i did this. of course, one reason's to keep my friends local / overseas updated of my being. as for other reasons, i'll tell it some day. not now so please don't ask already. your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
talking about being divine, i heard an interesting joke today:
there was this boy who finally got his driver's license and was eager to start driving. his father, a clergyman working at a church went home one day to find his son rushing up to him saying, 'dad, can we talk about the usage of our car?'
his father said, 'sure! come to my room and we'll talk.' so into the room they went and before the son could say anything, his father told him, 'you want to talk about using the family car? do me 3 things and i'll talk to you about the car. 1) do well for your exams. 2) read the bible. 3) get a hair cut.' so the son went out the room without saying anything.
a few weeks later, he went back to his father's room (not that the father was sitting there all the while) and saw his father sitting at his table. calmly, he walked over to the table. his father said to him, 'very good. your grades have gone up, you have been reading the bible dilligently, but you didn't get a hair cut!' so the son replied, 'well, i thought it's ok to have long hair. moses had long hair and even jesus had long hair.' so his father said, 'you have a point there... and they walked everywhere they went.'
haha... not funny? well, i thought it was nice, so i went to the net and searched for something not expecting results like 'the real jesus didn't have long hair' to come up. but it was interesting to see different opinions.
i realised that if i stopped repeating myself, this blog would hardly make the cut for 'a life revolving around music and languages' so here it is once again: an online japanese course at http://www.edujation.com and not to forget shal at http://shalsagan.net and you notice that i get lazier and lazier to talk about these 2 in detail because repeating things is not my kind of thing but i'll do it for shal.
no, that's not shal of course. that's nakashima mika. that's right, i'm sure you can guess where she's from. she's from china... -_- obviously not... she's from england. anyway, alwin was telling me about this new comic book about a rocker who takes drugs and everything not nice but he thought it's a cool book with interesting band stuff plus, with a movie coming up with an actress this attractive, it's hard not to give it a second look. i hope it comes to singapore real soon, so i can catch it. anyone game?
